Fantastic experience: Great Recreation center of Rutgers University!

Fantastic experience: Nice place for campus visit

Fantastic experience: Nice place for sports, working out, swimming and connecting with people.

Fantastic experience: Very good place for swim classes. Very nice facility and good teaching. Recommend strongly.

Positive experience: I can’t say much about the rest of the building, but the gym is sorta clean. Equipment is generally kept in good repair. (They have to since they only have room for one of everything.) It’s C R A M P E D. I could never get a decent workout in during peak hours. Even midday is pretty bad. All the evaporation in such a small space also makes you feel like you’re breathing in sweat directly. I really wish they’d turn the lights off during the day. There’s an enormous light source in the windows in the weight area during the day. Seems like a waste of electricity to run the lights. Not enough equipment nor space to get a good leg day in. I only do less demanding upper body days here.

Fantastic experience: The only Rec center at Rutgers New Brunswick that has a steamroom.

Fantastic experience: Amazing Recreation center. Big beautiful swimming pool, Tennis court, yoga center, squash court.....so many facilities. Forgot to add, it has indoor basketball court, it is amazing.... It has lockers. Proper changing rooms and well maintained too.

Fantastic experience: This place is really nice.

Fantastic experience: A very solid rec center with lots of options. They have great locker rooms. 2 racquetball courts. Large basketball court with 4 side nets. Yoga in a large room quite often. Intramural indoor soccer. Weight room. There is also an outdoor hockey rink and some baseball fields. And lots of green space in general. Staff is friendly.

Fantastic experience: This is my favorite Rutgers gym. The facility is really nice and clean, and since it is on Cook campus it is not as crowded as the others. It is especially great for lap swimming.

Fantastic experience: Sunset Park Martial Arts Academy did very well in 44th Master Choi's competition.

Fantastic experience: Spend time doing workout everyday! It looks small but there's enough equipment for everyone to do training. The swimming poo is also well maintained. They have yoga and dance classes as well. By appointment, you can also enjoy spa

Fantastic experience: It's a small gym that is a great place to go if you want to get in a good workout or burn off the calories you've gained from that quesadilla you got in the cook cafe!
