Great gym take advantage of it being free while being a student if you find yourself still here as an alumni it is 33 a month which isn't bad & 22 for guest pass which is good. The pool, track, and locker rooms are spacious and generally kept clean for the traffic & compared to other UNT buildings of this age. The gym floor is decent only complaints are I wish the weight floor was expanded because that is what nost people go to this gym to use so there is usually a wait for any given machine or bench over there especially during peak hours. On breaks and very early mornings the weights area is pretty dead but most times its packed. I know this is a bit nit picky but not a fan of the high ceilings it makes this gym hot its good for the pool area but i wish there was a drop ceiling under the track so the ac would be closer.

Should be 24 hours but whatever, needs more machines that aren’t cardio, I don’t care if the waters warm I just want it open 24 hours 😔. Overall okay gym and the staff is nice as always :)

I've trained here the last 3 weeks and tried to give it a chance, but it sucks. Water fountains taste funny and are always warm. It feels like there's no air circulating through the gym. Also a shame they don't have any olympic weightlifting racks. Conflict of interest to have a turf area for functional fitness training, yet not have oly lifting racks to train on. As one of the largest universities in Texas, one would think they'd have a bigger weightlifting area to support the student population. There's 12 squat racks, but only 4 have floor rubber mats. The area near the 1 heavy bag and plyo boxes is a joke as only 2 people can train there without interfering in someone's workout. It's also difficult to train in the area when the Trainers are training the 20-member sport clubs as they take all the dumbbells and use the whole turf area anyway. Gym needs to be renovated and expanded if they're going to support rec members and sports clubs training at the same time.
