Activities and Recreation Center

Experiencia fantástica: Clean and modern events space

Experiencia fantástica: The space isn’t huge, but it’s maintained well by personable staff. The gym equipment is more than serviceable, and things are updated relatively frequently. Group fitness is definitely worth a try :)

Experiencia negativa: It smells SO bad

Experiencia fantástica: Wanted to try cross fit for the first time and they were extremely helpful! They really put in the effort to make sure I was doing the exercises correctly and safely. A great and fun workout! I am excited to try again!

Experiencia fantástica: Great building but no showers bummed me out

Experiencia fantástica: The staff are informed and at times friendly. They’ll communicate with you honestly about ARC policies. I’ve been there three times and one woman was very friendly. As for facilities, there’s a variety of machines and weights in the exercise area and I’m not sure I’m qualified to make a judgment of the fields but I’ve experienced no major problems with the tennis courts. They’re sand filled and that probably fills some kind of function. I’m satisfied to impressed.

Experiencia fantástica: It's the ARC! UWB and CC students have free access to the facilities here. Ground floor has the gym, which is free as a student. All you need is your student ID. They also have lockers both inside the locker room and in the main area (the latter of which have more room) and they can be rented out for free the entire day. The gym has a large variety of equipment and there are sanitation stations everywhere so it is all very clean. The treadmills have a touchscreen where you can login and track your progress as well as find ways to entertain your mind while your body suffers. There are two binary gender locker rooms (male and female) as well as a gender neutral/family/disabled single stall bathroom. The binary gender rooms have two showers, but towels and soap are not provided. The single stall has one shower with disability accommodations as well as a toilet. There is also a small self-checkout snack shop where you can buy snack bars, chips, small breakfasts, and drinks. Mostly packaged items with fresh fruit (usually apples and bananas). Additionally, the Outdoor Wellness program also resides down here. They can rent out equipment for free with advance notice. Literally anything from hiking boots to skis. They probably have anything you might need. First/Main floor has student and staff offices, meeting rooms, areas to study, and a gaming area. There is also a giant help desk where you can ask about clubs, campus events, and other organizations. Meeting rooms are free to reserve, just ask. Oftentimes clubs can meet here regularly. Study area is limited but there are more upstairs. The top/3rd floor, sometimes called the ARC Overlook is mostly a chill space to hang out or study. They play gentle music and there are lots of different kinds of comfortable seats. Great place to work on a group project or plan for a club event. However, a lot of events are hosted here so sometimes half of the Overlook or the entire thing will be set up for an event, so don't always except a place to study here. Hope that helps.

Experiencia fantástica: Great gym on campus for staff and students! Never very full and friendly staff! Machines are top quality too
