The Student Recreation Center at Fresno State

I love working out at the Rec Center. People who are complaining about the gym’s wall colors, color coding areas based on exercises, blah blah blah are obviously focused on other things rather than working out, and they probably smell like potpourri.
They have machines that target every part of your body, more than enough treadmills and elliptical machines, and a tremendous amount of space compared to other gyms.
For the people who are complaining about having to pay for the day use, «It’s made for Fresno State students». We don’t want random people using the facility, trashing our lovely fitness center.
There’s an indoor track upstairs, 4 indoor basketball courts, locker rooms, free fitness classes, and healthy snacks and drinks available at the counter.
The only thing I wish the Rec Center had would be a Sauna, and a filtered automated water dispenser for refilling our bottles rather than having to refill at the water fountain.
In regards to Umar R’s comment, «Color coding? More colors? A little smoothie shop? Are you kidding me??? Man up!!! This is a gym where people go to train hard and get dirty!»

The rec centre is decent but can do better for sure. There are areas of improvement such as there should be specific zones and it should be color codes to make it attractive to students. Like a cardio zone, weight zone, stretch zone, machine zone and etc, none of that is around yet. Also the check in people need to be trained to be friendlier because currently there are nice ones but also there are those who work there who could careless to smile of even acknowledge you. The check in should also e automated by now. Not still by hand. Finally the pool is not open during summers and that is something that should not happen. Summer is the best time to swim. The gym is relatively messy and needs better staffing. Needs more colors, currently too boring, just blue. Very dull. Not a bad designed building very spacious, but also needs a little smoothie shop here on location.

It’s really small, and there aren’t enough weights or plates. The machines and everything is so unorganized and All scattered. Theyre not even separated by like all upper and all lower together
All runnin machines should just be on top. The middle pillar thing is kinda cool but unnecessary and impractical for a gym setting and kills valuable space

The student rec center is great for Fresno State students but visitors must pay $ 5 a day :/​but that doesn’t bother me, its made for the students. The offer great work out classes ranging from Zumba to cycling and have tons of different machines. The basketball court is normal size with a volleyball court on the other side. The upstairs track is amazing going around both courts. The service is pretty good and the locker rooms aren’t bad either, just remember to bring your own lock. Def a wonderful place to workout if you a student!

I like coming to this place. It’s really spacious and has tons of machines. I don’t like how I had to pay $ 10 to work out for one day here. I came here with my brother, since he goes to Fresno State. I wish they had a track. But the upstairs looks like it was a track. They even have a racquetball court and basketball courts too. This place is very ventilated and very open. Wish lighting was better. This place is definitely better than my gym in Benicia, but they’re missing a sauna. Oh I wonder if this place has a pool?
