Activity Center

What a depressing and neglected place. Just seems run-down and Needs a big refresh because management must be sleeping... The lack of professionalism among the staff is shocking. Most of the time they have no sense of dress code and no good way to distinguish who is staff and who is a participant. Especially because half the time the staff is working out while on shift and then going back to the desk and flippity flop. One time I came in and two people behind the desk were turned around playing video games on the TV. Another time they were swiping our cards with greasy hands while eating pizza at the desk. Almost never get a good greeting from the staff and the overall energy and atmosphere is absolutely lackluster. The equipment issue process needs an overhaul. For a school this big manual entry into a spreadsheet and asking for my phone number each time when I already have a student ID number is kinda ridiculous. Basketball courts are plentiful and in good shape but dustier than an attic. Honesty dangerous and should be swept more often. Not being able to access the pool through the gym locker room is just poor building design. Hours are also pretty bad with poor communication about them, especially in the summer with a bunch of closures. Not being open on Sundays is also a big knock down.

I have been lifting in the NMSU activity center weight room for 12 years. Everything in there is in pretty good condition some things are old but they still work great. They have some Hammer strength machines that are pretty nice and their weights go up to 130 lb which is nice. It can get crowded in the beginning of either semester but otherwise it's a pretty solid weight room. I have lifted in many other places in Las Cruces over the years and I just keep coming back to the weight room at NMSU since I am an alumni and it feels like home

Group classes are great. Student employees wonderful! Weights are great, but the weightroom is closed from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. or other (it changes). It would be nice if some weights were available when weightroom is closed. I gave a 2 star because the activity center is often closed. I've had to purchase another gym membership to have access to a fitness center during these times. The online webpage isn't always appropriately updated and sometimes I show up and it is closed. Grrrr.....so frustrating.
