Its a wonderful place to workout. Has all the great gym equipments. Has small studious for separate workouts. Large gym area. Less crowded between 10 am to 4 pm. Has swimming pool as well. There are also group activities which one can take with additional $10 per session such as yoga, pilates, crossfit, spin etc.

Not sure how this place has such a high rating considering all of its flaws and cold customer service. If you’re not a Brown or RISD student, DO NOT BUY A MEMBERSHIP! This place is totally student centric. If you waste hundreds of dollars on a public pass get ready to be sidelined. The pool is forever closed for Brown activities - instead of always having a dedicated section of the front pool for paying members they just forget about your existence and desire to swim.

The gym at most times is not even safe to sue because it’s so packed with people. The management is totally blind. They care more about you keeping your outside shoes on while doing yoga than they do about the fact staff are always glued to their phones, eating smelly food or neglecting to replace empty sanitation wipes. Avoid. Go to ymca

Great gym with lots of options to choose from for exercise !
**Just be careful to not leave anything valuable on the clothing hanger next to the fitness room on the second floor as it could easily get stolen and the staff working there will not be able to recover it. Someone stole my Nike track pants ($80) from the clothing rack and the staff at Nelson were never able to recover it.

Can't beat the price with unlimited fitness classes. As a non Brown affiliate you can pay to have an annual membership. Only cons are: during summertime, group classes are limited and hours are a little funny.

Brown sells nelson passes to the general public but they operate the gym on a strict undergraduate schedule. It's so undergrad centric that graduate students often need to pay for a second gym membership elsewhere to be able to maintain their physical health. It's an okay gym for college students and their schedules, but if you actually want to workout like an adult with adult working hours, definitely go elsewhere.

Love the swimming pool. The staff and safeguards are friendly. But the gym facilities upstairs are outdated with smears and marks all over. Several ones are dysfunctional. Besides, this space is very crowded. Okay, let's talk about downstairs in the basement. The shower heads are tiny with very low water pressure. You can't get a good clean shower after swimming to rinse off the chlorine. The spinning dryer and the two hair dryers both stopped working. One last thing, mold is everywhere in the shower stalls due to bad ventilation. Yes, mold!!! It's sad to see this is the fitness center for a well-known university. And no one cares to improve it.

I have to say I think I've been here and I have absolutely nothing bad to say about the place. It's a pretty big fitness center and it's made mainly for fitness. And as far as serving that purpose, that purpose being fitness, I think it's perfect for the job. There are lots of things in here that you can do that will allow you to create fitness in yourself and in your mind and your body. And that is what it's all about isn't it? It's about creating fitness of mind body and spirit, and that is what you can do here. If you haven't been here yet you should come here today and check it out.

The pool is great, well maintained and plenty of lanes set up short of long course. The fitness center has a decent amount of equipment, more cardio, but the set up sucks. It will definitely get crowded easily.

Brown's gym and pool for faculty, staff, and students. I'm visiting Brown for a semester on sabbatical leave so I bought a semester pass for $80. Cardio and weights are upstairs and you can look out the windows as you while away your time. There are studios on the main floor for group classes. Locker rooms and pool are in the basement. Lockers are for day use- bring your own lock! The facilities are clean and the equipment is well maintained. Not super crowded in the mornings, but students fill the place in the evenings.

The pool is wonderful. What's less wonderful is the access. Often the calendar on the website will indicate that the pool is available when, indeed, that's not the case. Annoying if one checks the calendar in advance and heads over only to learn that one can't go swimming.

Moreover, it's bothersome that if a group, for example a sports camp, monopolizes the pool and the general public is declined access.

The facility is terrific. Too bad the hours aren't more extensive, especially in the summer months when swimming is a treat. It would be great if the folks running the athletic department could reconsider their approach to the pool.

This place was pretty big. Lots of machines and not too crowded. The free weights section was a little small and there seemed to not be enough. If they increased the free weight section this place would be a 5.
