College Avenue Gym

Positive experience: Indoor stadium was hot

Positive experience: Good gym for students and staff to workout and have recreational time in. The facility has an indoor rock climbing area, wrestling/training room/underground fitness center, and a large gym in the back. Bathrooms and showers are usually clean and work, only negative thing is there are usually a lot of people using the facility and its very hot inside!

Fantastic experience: I've been attending and participating in the Rutgers BIG Chill 5K for nearly 10 yrs. It's has been and still is a family tradition we attend annually! I have a sister-in-law employed there, a niece and niece-in-law and friends who graduated from Rutgers! I love what they do for their and our community! In short, I love the warm, friendly, and caring staff, volunteers, and people involved! I especially Thank all your law enforcement agencies for their help and concerns and making us feel safe and secure! :-)

Fantastic experience: Nice and big

Negative experience: The gym is not that great. Not enough equipment given the number of people. Way too crowded and the music is not that great either. The equipment is old and never maintained well.

Positive experience: Not a bad gym, but it does suffer from being the oldest one. The weight room is small, busy, and cramped (and smelly).

Fantastic experience: Fantastic facilities inside what looks like an old building. The basket ball court is great and so is the weights room. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. This is open only to Rutgers University students, faculty and staff. This is one of several gymnasiums that Rutgers University has but this is probably the only one on College Avenue campus.

Fantastic experience: Great

Fantastic experience: Great place to see wrestling

Fantastic experience: Birthplace of Rutgers Wrestling...like taking a trip back in time. Very well taken care of over the years...⚔️⚔️

Positive experience: We went for rutgers ballroom dance. Had a great time.

Fantastic experience: Amazing workout and such a sense of community.

Negative experience: If you want to play basketball here, I would not recommend it. There is a nice annex gym with 3 point lines that they close down due to covid restrictions still to this day. You will be hounded if while running down the court your mask goes beneath your nose. Most of the staff is understanding of this but others will end the games and kick you out if you are playing basketball and take a breathe with no mask. If the covid guidelines change the gym will be good, but one of the managers is relentless with making sure the mask is above the nose at all times. If you like to breathe while playing basketball, go to any other Rutgers gym.

Fantastic experience: Great family gym. ♥

Fantastic experience: Great intimate setting for College Volleyball!

Fantastic experience: Nice place

Negative experience: It would have been better if it was closer to elevation burger on college ave at the yard

Negative experience: Cramped, can’t lift unless the powerlifting area is open. The hours are not convenient.

Positive experience: I was here for the annual Rutgers Ballroom Competition. Decent venue, close to food.

Positive experience: So so

Fantastic experience: Nice place

Positive experience: It's decent, need better guest service.

Positive experience: Need to stop charging non-RU students for guest pass everyday to get in. Guest pass fee should be weekly and a non-disclaimer form should be signed.

Fantastic experience: Graduation ceremony very clean

Fantastic experience: Wresting Club

Positive experience: Plenty of free weights and there is also a power gym nearby

Positive experience: The underground gym is really damp and humid but the good part is it has an indoor rock climbing facility!

Positive experience: Please repair the bathrooms. They are very old. Also, please install air conditioner at this building. It's always hot in there, hard to breath after you run some full court games and are extremely exhausted. However, there are many basketball courts there, very large in size. There is more than enough space for people to play. Haven't checked out the weight room yet, excited to check it soon

Positive experience: good gym to play basketball and many sports

Positive experience: Too warm

Negative experience: Terrible locker room, the gym and locker room smell.

Positive experience: You have to be a member to use. They have great programs, including swim lessons and rock climbing lessons. Free parking with a paid lesson or program

Fantastic experience: Parking is horrible.

Fantastic experience: My son goes for swimming classes here, he love it .. amazing place ...

Fantastic experience: Good facility.

Fantastic experience: Ok gym! a little rusty and old school. But it does have everything you can think of.

Positive experience: Too packed to enjoy the fitness process

Positive experience: Super packed, but go to the power gym inside or the boxing room.

Positive experience: Good variety of sports and workout options.

Positive experience: My kids have gone for there swim program and i absolutely love it

Positive experience: Always crowded. Rutgers needs to upgrade.

Positive experience: Really crowded considering how many students there are on College Ave, but if you don't want to go to the Busch or Livingston gyms, it isn't half bad. Just plan on waiting for benches or altering your workout regiment if weights / benches are taken.

Positive experience: The treadmill is ridiculous. It's one of those that has no bottom cover in the front and the pause button is extremely slow, which might cause an accident. Other rooms such as the basketball court or martial arts is good, but the workout are is too packed and tight. Very discouraging.
