MIT Recreation - Alumni Pool and Wang Fitness Center

Gym Recreation center Swimming pool

👍 Really convenient gym for MIT affiliates and students. Lots of treadmills, stationary bikes, and a standard suite of machines. Only a couple of squat racks and benches though, so you'll went to pick a slower time if you want to do barbell exercises. People often mention pool,

    This review is for the Alumni pool. I've found that the pool is clean and uncrowded. I feel very safe in the time of the pandemic.

    Although its not the main rec center, this is actually the better of MIT's two gyms.

    Dear God, what would I do without this pool? Essential for surviving Boston winters.

However, it’s a very inviting and the instructors are really good explaining the movements and flow of the classes. I just wish we could lose the masks, but it is what it is in the current pandemic, so it’s not tha...

😠 Embarrassing that this gym is associated with Harvard. Bad air circulation, space is poorly allocated, and hours are always changing. This place should be gutted and renovated.
