| - Ever since I transferred to UNLV from California, I've been coming here as a place to get away from everything and just focus on myself. Of course, being a student, I get in for "free" aka my health fees, but it's totally worth it. The gym opens early and closes at midnight so there is absolutely no excuse not to go.
There's never a shortage of equipment for you to use and compared to other gyms, peak hours at UNLV is never too crazy. Although, they have everything you need, I feel that there should at least be one more cable cross machine.
Since this is a school's gym, ALL of the dumbbells are racked in their appropriate spots. People tend to wipe down the equipment and the employees are constantly moving around putting weights back to their original spots.
The downside is that the row machine has been broken for quite some time now. I don't use it too often and there's alternatives, but whenever I come upstairs, the first thing I notice are the "out of service" signs on them. At the old gyms I go to back home, the situation would be taken care of after a few days.
Classes seem awesome. There's some unique ones too such as Hip Hop dancing, Aqua Zumba, Boxing and Judo. I don't really see these too often at other public gyms so it's definitely a plus.
You can also rent equipment from both the first and second floors of the gym. The first one will offer balls and I think towels. The second one is focused on the weight area, so they offer you equipment ranging from weight holders, mats, back supporting belts and other various items. They also offer nutrition and fitness assessments as well in this building.
As for the layout, the gym is pretty huge. There's 4 floors and here's the list:
1st floor: Lockers, swimming pool, jacuzzi, one basketball court and soccer. They use the basketball court from time to time for events and I think for cycling hours. There's racquetball too and cardio equipment.
2nd: Weights. There's an area for Olympic style weight lifting too. Pretty awesome so prepare to hear some testosterone screams from time to time.
3rd: Basketball. A really good place to play against people and there's usually at least 2 courts running full court games.There's also areas for volleyball and badminton. If you just want to shoot around, use the corner courts since they're usually emptier compared to the two middle ones.
4th floor: Track. I think it's a rubber track so your feet will have some kind of cushion every time you step. Pay attention to the sign that tells you which way people should start running the track. Then again, it's kind of common sense.
It's a great way to relieve stress or just to keep fit. If you're a full time student, there's no excuse not to go here. For outsiders it's like 25 bucks a month along with a one time fee for the membership card that's like 50. One day guess passes are 10 bucks.
I'm probably coming back to California once I leave UNLV, but I'm definitely going to feel spoiled after working out here.
