★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The distance between this uni gym and the uni dorms is more than the previous gym, so les students come here. The building has a high rise ceiling. Ventilation is perfect. Equipment are the old ones plus some new stationary bicycles. Staff are nice and the environment is pleasant. A wilson parking is opposite the gym and there is a small bike park stand just in front of the door. The equipment and the area are very clean.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is a big gym, it has many machines and areas to work properly. It also is well equipped and they offer fitness classes throughout the week, as well as the weekends.
Staff members are really helpful and charismatic, they will welcome you with a smile.
There are some issues that I consider important mentioning. In regards to the members, the majority of them is on their phones while they rest in between reps, but that causes a trouble in the flow of the other gym members' routine. Some of them spend entire minutes just looking at their pones without actually exercising, occupying the machines/space.
Another big issue is the lack of hygene from the members. Many of them do not wear deodorant, or they don't wear fresh clothes to workout, which makes them really smelly and some of them have serious problems. When you are trying to complete your workout and someone who, franky, stinks, it is really disgusting and I even consider it to be a lack of respect towards the rest of the members.
Some of them won't wipe the machines or benches after they have used them, walking away and leaving the sweat mark behind.
Many members leave the machines loaded with the discs they used, and they should leave the bars/machines free for the next person.
Another issue is that many of them smash the equipment as it would make them grow bigger muscles. Specially some guys doing dead lifts or squats...they want to make the most noise apparently.
Some members use the cardio machines for long periods of time, while the rest is waiting, some of us want to use them too. They shoud have time limits given that there are not many of those machines.
I think the gym staff can make some improvements here, because it would benefit everyone around.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Equipment well maintained, many different zones to exercise at. Has showers and lockers. Helpful and friendly trainers and staff. It's not too crowded (at least during the times I go) and you can always find a less crowded area. Gym membership is price for students is around 6.25 per week (12-month) and gives access to free group classes.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ As you'd expect for a university it's a very well equipped gym. All the leading brands in strength and cardio equipment provide experienced and inexperienced gym users with an excellent chance of starting or continuing their fitness and health and well being aspirations. Good staff great facility energetic environment

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I have now had two bad encounters with different staff members each time. The staff were extremely rude and made me feel undervalued for a paying customer alongside uncomfortable with how they were responding to my questions with unnecessary facial expressions and remarks. The gym equipment itself is good but the customer service is lacking.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It's really good compared to other city gyms. I go there as they have a kicking bag area, but they have plenty of space, lots of equipment really good overall. 4 stars, as there could and will be improvements done, as they're building a whole new recreation center by 2022.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Awesome recreation centre! The classes are amazing! The trainers are committed to helping you fulfill your fitness goals, and have great knowledge and qualifications to back them up. Staff are very friendly and approachable. The UoA Recreation Centre boasts plentiful toilets and showers, not to mention the vast amount of lockers as well. Very accommodating, especially for UoA students, always promotions like free centre entry for a day or half-price classes. All the machines are high-end models and are modern. The UoA recreation centre also has specialist machines like: skiing, rowing and stair machines. The bicycle machines also have sensors to the pedals so you can see how much power each leg is outputting etc. So a gem for competitive cyclists. Skiing machines also have the same features. There is never a shortage of dumbells or plates. Always a free bench or bar to use. 5 stars!
