Denton A. Cooley Center

I'm new to the gym so maybe I'm naive but at first visit this place looks awesome and huge. There's three different rooms for weights: circuit room, general weight room, and women's only room. So I'm highly doubtful there will be any trouble finding a machine to use. For the "huge" part, this Center has 4 levels. One has a track. One has a court for basketball/volleyball. Another floor for the weight rooms. This is a dream for a newbie gym goer, all I could ever ask for. Also the staff was really nice, even giving me a tour of the building because it was my first time going.

Great gym - has everything you need, even if it's crowded there will be a machine open and everyone is friendly. They have good hours, a nice locker room with showers and a women's only cardio room in addition to a general weight room. Downsides - they charge extra for fitness classes, long-term lockers are impossible to get unless you want a mini one in the basement and there is no sauna.

No AC on the top floor in the summer it's hot as hell. Employees are mostly great! too small equipment are too close. ventilation is bad good luck if you're next to some smelly dudes... at least it's free to students so I shouldn't complain

Honestly, I would never use this gym if I were not a student. I've seen more accidents because of poor equipment than at any other gym. A man was taken down by a barbell because the base wasn't properly anchored to the ground. Another almost took out a mirror because of the old squat rack. It's too tight. The layout makes no sense.

A little on the smaller side, but basically had anything a gym rat would need. Peak times of course are always a problem given the size but if you go late a night or early in the morning you rarely have a problem. Staff was always super nice and generally awesome!
