Amazing library. 4th floor for silence, 3 floors for group study. Secret vending machine with school supplies and food on the first floor by the tutoring center

Terrible opening hours and they close for 2 weeks a couple of times a year. Also, they put an β€œout of order” sign on machines and don’t fix them for months. To top it all off it’s always packed with sweaty teenagers. This gym is way too small for a school with 3000+ students. Oh also, the gym has way too many salaried employees that don’t do anything. Manager of aquatics?! The pool is always closed and even when it’s opened it’s only opened for 2 days a week and a few hours. Give me a break.

I was surprised that TV content wasn't selected. I felt uncomfortable seeing inappropriate and horror movies on screens. I know I could stare at my phone or anywhere else while running on a treadmill, but it's impossible to escape looking in front of myself completely. I am still happy with equipments and a variety of classes.

Excellent campus gym with excellent staff! They have great group fitness classes every day of the week. They also have by far the best top rope indoor climbing wall in our region with belayers on staff, and an amazing outdoor ropes challenge course. They have a big indoor pool, excellent weight room, racquetball courts, and so much more. You do have to either be a student, faculty/staff, or alumni to access to gym, or be accompanied by one of the above as their guest.

The facility is always clean and the staff are friendly and helpful. It is large, so even when it is busy you can navigate it fairly well and do your routine. The classes they offer are free to members and always well done.

Very nice facility. Clean and very organized but not very much seating! BUT, Let me tell you about the rude faculty they have there!!! Lady was walking around telling everyone they couldn’t stand here or play there or be there!!! Very rude to children! And not very understanding!!!!! When a court is open, they won’t let them even shoot the ball for a minute or two. Said it was for her students, but students never arrived πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ And if you’ve been to basketball tournaments you already know what I mean! No seating and no where to let children run around between games! Never will be back to another tournament here!!!

This is my 3rd year at ETSU, so I’ve frequented this gym quite a bit. It has loads of activities and fitness classes, with the new facility upgrades it’s made it an even better space. Only 4 stars because the pool is only open limited hours, rental equipment isn’t the best (racquetball equipment has been in shambles for a while), and dress code deters some students.

This is a very nice facility but it is also crowded when I come in around 4:30 p.m. Parking is difficult to find. They do have a lot of equipment so you usually don't have to wait much for the machines.

Not a bad set up, only crowded sometimes. I find it ironic that there are signs promoting body positivity like "everybody is a gym body" yet people are asked to leave for barely being outside of the dress code. Seems kind of contradictory, but hey what do I know.

Actually it's a 0/5 and I do not recommend. I wore a sports tank that went to the top of my shorts and went to the top of my neck. I was in the middle of a workout with my boyfriend when a staff member told me I had to LEAVE the gym because my top was not appropriate. First off this is a university gym and if you can't handle seeing a SMALL portion of my stomach then maybe you should not be making dress code policies for ADULTS. It is ridiculous that a dress code policy that strict made me and my boyfriend have to stop our workout and leave the gym. I do not think anybody should be coming to this gym because this policy is ridiculous. Other gym policies are not this strict and a university policy should not be either. I will not be coming back.

Most of the time I worked out no one said anything to me about my outfit (for context it was a long crop top with high waisted leggings, only showed my stomach when I go to reach for a bar to work out my biceps and back muscles) then proceeded to have a girl tell me that is not up to their dress code. This is a university gym, not a high school. Every other gym I have ever went to, could care less about what I wear. On top of that, I would have understood if I was wearing a sports bra and spandex (next to nothing) but I was literally all covered up except a small line of my stomach when I reach upwards. This is ridiculous, I pay to go to the University and I can’t even go to the gym in clothes I buy. Definitely not happy.

I really wish they had this back when I was a student!!! Workout area is very spacious & has plenty of different machines & cardio equipment. Multiple basketball courts make it easy to get a game going. The pool area is great! The rock climbing wall is a great addition. Great job designing this!

For heavens sake the pandemic is over hours are coming back to normal can we get the childcare back? Like at all? Gym isn't bad hours kind of suck during the summer, but let's get child care back. What's hilarious is they are always hiring but the reason no one wants to work there is the pay is like $8 an hour. For a liberal college where the majority of the staff and admin lean far left it's rather hilarious that they aren't paying a "living wage".

The equipment is great but the facility is too small. The biggest problem with this place is simple, the staff. I can’t tel you how many times I’ve been interrupted working out. Whether it’s dress attire or looking after the equipment this staff is unprofessional. On top of that the dress code is extremely strict. Don’t expect to come workout wearing anything other than a T-shirt; if not you will be β€œforced to leave.” Another thing, the hours have been horrendous since covid. They are closed from 1:30 - 3:00 for seemingly no reason and closed almost all day on Saturday. The management is awful and I have no tolerance for the way the CPA is run. You’d be better to workout at home then have to deal with the way this gym is run. Put your money somewhere else, please!

All in all, it's really not that great. The facilities are nice when you are allowed to use them, but the staff can be extremely overbearing. It's a little sad that such a nice gym is ruined by obnoxious staff and policy. If ETSU had an option to lower tuition but students couldn't use the CPA, that money would go to a gym actually worth going to.

Also, they don't have any barbell clamps. That just bugs me, what kind of self respecting gym doesn't have barbell clamps? They aren't expensive and they're a safety feature for the lifter. I don't get it.

This is an amazing facility with numerous workout areas, lots of specialized equipment, and very competent and knowledgeable staff.

The day care center is extremely helpful and always clean. It is managed by a senior staff member who has kids of her own and had implemented some excellent policies.

There are a variety of classes that you can take at various times of day. Lots of items can be checked out for free while you are there. They also rent a lot of outdoor equipment.

I highly recommend all faculty, staff, and students to take advantage of this asset to the campus.

If you think this is accurate, please "πŸ‘."

Excellent gym with everything you could ask for. One of the best parts of being a student at etsu is having access to this awesome facility. It can get very busy from about 4-7 but that's to be expected with any gym. Other than that it's the perfect gym.

It's a very good beginner course for those wanting to try disc golf for the first time or those wanting a very quick game. Not a lot of technical shots but a good course with decent variety.
