Fantastic experience: The coaches are so friendly and make you work hard. It is definitely for more advanced athletes, but they welcome everyone with excitement. Be prepared to sweat, burn, and feel great.

Negative experience: Fitness machines such as all the rowing are broken, have been broken for a long time and management has no intention of fixing them. When I asked when they would be fixed, a manager replied that gym has no plans to fix them. I can only assume that this is the policy for anything that breaks in the place.

Fantastic experience: So incredibly glad UT replaced its previous gym with this one. It's beautiful, has the latest equipment, and everyone is so friendly. Sad to leave it once I graduate.
