This gym is definately one I'd recommend whether you're a UNLV student or not. I actually never went to the gym for the longest because I was always goin to LVAC or 24 hour fitness but now things are different and I love this gym. The square footage is decent, but it's built well. It's a 4 story building that doesn't ever seem like it. The floors are all different gyms. The 4th floor is the running track and nothing else. The third floor is the basketball courts. Thankfully there's 4 of them so there's usually one free. The peak hours for when there's people there vary wildly during the semester. All I can say is that summer of 2013, I've been getting the best runs Sunday evenings. Second floor is weights and first floor is cardio/ hockey. Everything is well placed so you can get a great workout. I Iove it because the prices are also pretty fair. If you're a student taking at least 3 credits it's free. For everyone else it's 25 a month. Well worth the value if you live by the gym. The parking isn't bad during the summer or during the evenings in the semester. I see no downsides to this gym
