Wildcat Recreation Center (WREC)

There are a lot of weights, machines, and features, like an indoor track, ping pong tables, and a large basketball court. For most things, there won't be a wait time, but sometimes there is. The design and atmosphere of the gym is great. The pool has a section with lanes and a section without, which is nice. The hot tub is spacious. Students can bring a guest 10 times per semester which is convenient if you want to go with a non-student. While the men's and women's locker rooms are very nice, the gender inclusive alternative is small and missing many features that are included in the men's and women's, and the single-stall with lock design can get very inconvenient if multiple people want to use it (most times it's free and unlocked when I want to use it but, but always).

It's not just a gym; it's a vibrant hub of activity and an invaluable resource that significantly enhances the student experience, especially since it's entirely free for enrolled students! This is a huge benefit, making health and wellness truly accessible to everyone on campus. First and foremost, the WREC is consistently spotlessly clean. From the locker rooms (which even have dryers for your swimsuits, a thoughtful touch!) to the cardio machines and weight areas, the staff does an excellent job of maintaining a hygienic and welcoming environment. You rarely see equipment left unwiped, which speaks volumes about both the staff's dedication and the general respect students have

The WREC is a great place to work out. It has a lot of equipment, plenty of space, and a friendly staff. There’s something for everyone like weights, cardio machines, a pool, a climbing wall, and group fitness classes. The gym is clean and well taken care of, and there’s usually no long wait for machines.

Amazing center! I would love to spend a good time!
