😐 Not a bad gym, but it does suffer from being the oldest one. The weight room is small, busy, and cramped (and smelly).

    Fantastic facilities inside what looks like an old building. The basket ball court is great and so is the weights room. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. This is open only to Rutgers University students, faculty and staff. This is one of several gymnasiums that Rutgers University has but this is probably the only one on College Avenue campus.

    If you want to play basketball here, I would not recommend it. There is a nice annex gym with 3 point lines that they close down due to covid restrictions still to this day. You will be hounded if while running down the court your mask goes beneath your nose. Most of the staff is understanding of this but others will end the games and kick you out if you are playing basketball and take a breathe with no mask. If the covid guidelines change the gym will be good, but one of the managers is relentless with making sure the mask is above the nose at all times. If you like to breathe while playing basketball, go to any other Rutgers gym.

    Small cardio/ weight lifting room, but it's never super crowded and I've never had to wait for a machine. Staff is friendly & most people clean their machines after use. 10/10.

    Rutgers did this awsome kids program, so I visited the gym. Big sportsplex experience. Nice wall for rock climbing enthusiasts.

    Really crowded considering how many students there are on College Ave, but if you don't want to go to the Busch or Livingston gyms, it isn't half bad. Just plan on waiting for benches or altering your workout regiment if weights / benches are taken.

    The treadmill is ridiculous. It's one of those that has no bottom cover in the front and the pause button is extremely slow, which might cause an accident. Other rooms such as the basketball court or martial arts is good, but the workout are is too packed and tight. Very discouraging.

    Please repair the bathrooms. They are very old. Also, please install air conditioner at this building. It's always hot in there, hard to breath after you run some full court games and are extremely exhausted. However, there are many basketball courts there, very large in size. There is more than enough space for people to play. Haven't checked out the weight room yet, excited to check it soon
