I love this gym. It has so many fun ways to exercise and friendly staff. The only problem I've had is that a lot of the lockers don't work, but I'm not taking off a star for that when there are plenty that do and this might be fixed in the ongoing renovations.

Only time this place isn't packed is 5am. Impossible to work out here without waiting in a line. Then when you finally get to use the equipment someone is always asks "how many sets you got left" or "can I work in?"

This is the best gym that I have ever used in my entire life. They have a variety of different types of equipment, a variety of different classes, and a diverse and talented set of instructors. The parking is excellent. My favorite aspect of this gym is the fact that they also do work for charity. That touches my heart deeply.

It seems like there is lot of confusion on the guest passes, so here we go.

This is how the guest pass system works:

- A USC student must be present to be your “sponsor”
- Guest must be 18
- Student Sponsor must have their physical USC ID card with them
- Guest must have their physical drivers license with them
- Guest passes cost $10. Cash is not accepted.
- You sign a waiver and they let you in

If you are a student, you must have your physical USC ID to get in for free. If you don’t have it, or if you’re not a student, you must have a guest pass.

As long as you understand the process, it works and it’s an awesome gym. This is a great facility for students to work out. it’s always clean. Everyone has been respectful and there is lots of equipment to use.

I attend USC and because I forgot my student ID at work, I was told I wasn’t allowed in. I have a picture of my student ID plus I remember the ID number and instead of them being able to look up this information in their computer to verify like any other gym, they simply say no the only way I can get in the gym is if I can get somebody else that has their student ID coming in will say that i’m their guest and that I would have to pay $10 and show my drivers license which I didn’t have the physical license only a picture and that was allowed. What is worst is I caught someone leaving the gym to do this and wasn’t kicked out, so whatever policy that is in place that says I can’t get in without my physical ID needs to be changed. Charging students $10 because they forgot their ID is wrong. On top of this you are not allowed to bring a basketball inside the gym, it is required to use one of the balls issued out by the gym. The problem is most of their basketballs are old, deflated and or have no grip and if you go during busy times good luck even getting one. UofSC needs to do better by their students, staff is all young kids who don’t seem like they haven’t been trained properly or they don’t care.

This place is crazy big. This is the main gym for students at the University of South Carolina. There are both indoor and outdoor pools, beach volleyball, and all the workout equipment you could possibly need. The top floor is mostly treadmills and other cardio machines along with a track. The middle floor houses the main weight room and basketball courts. The lower level has the pool, additional lifting equipment, a rock wall, studios for classes, and squash courts. Because there are so many students it is usually pretty full, but early in the morning is typically a good time for avoiding crowds.

Looks like a cool facility, idk never got in. Visiting from out of town and I call in to ask for available day passes and I'm told "18, $10" no problem. Drive and walk through the city get there and the girl I was on the phone with stares at me blankly, then says "oh.... ya you need a student" after I've driven and walked through a unfamiliar city in the middle of the night.

A very well managed modern facility for athletes to work out and train train as well as stay fit. 👏 Centrally located facility is well maintained, fully equipped with modern equipment and organized very well. Everybody is required to wear a mask while inside the facility. All touch points are cleaned and and sanitized regularly by individuals & staff and that policy is Enforced very strictly. Early bird policies are very restrictive and they should be relaxed to allow everybody to use of facility while they are open.

Huge variety of machines, courts, free weights, and more. This place is the heart of student athletic events. This place has an indoor climbing wall, volleyball courts, many basketball courts, an indoor soccer / basketball court, racquetball courts, an indoor swimming pool as well as an outdoor swimming pool, and outdoor fields (3 full-length soccer fields).

When you enter you need to scan your student ID, and need to temporarily hand it over for equipment rentals, so make sure to bring your card with you.

Modern facility centrally located. Has new exercise equipment and is very well managed by students and staff. Currently, It's not very crowded and sanitized very regularly by students. Everybody is required to wear a mask and clean the equipment that they touch Before & After use. Because of its central location downtown, parking is a major problem.. Personal trainers and staff are very reliable for a very nominal charge and I would encourage everybody to use them. This was facility is an example of how our tax dollars are used for students and encouraging health and fitness for all students.

The “Strom” (it’s name in itself is perhaps the most South Carolina thing that has ever been) is at least impressive as a recreational center. It has an indoor track, multiple pools, a weight room, a rock climbing wall, etc. While thot patrol usually commandeered the ellipticals and chad mclifts-a-lot always flooded the weight room, the indoor track was at least usually not crowded nor judgmental. The one occasion I tried to use the lap pool, a group of guys attempting to relive their swim team days literally swam me out of every lane I tried to move to. The adjacent hot tub was also suddenly the scene of some amateur music video which I have yet to find on YouTube.

Modern and spacious exercise facility open only to USC students and faculty/staff. I can only rate the pools which are small and mostly shallow, which I find quite bizarre, given the size of the facility and the expense of building it. The staff which is mainly students is generally uninvolved and unresponsive. Since I find this to be the case across the board, I have to assume that the problem lies with the way they are being supervised. When there is an issue that needs reporting, it never goes anywhere unless one goes straight to the top.
