| - I really want to start off by saying, their recreation zones such as the Squash court, Basketball court and Swimming pool are indoor and top-notch quality. Although they are doing renovations and some of them are closed, I would have renovations over a rusty, smelly, broken gym any day. Often you will see UNLV sports' players and professional weightlifters inside the gym as well.
Like I said, the basketball courts are indoor, and this is by far my favorite part. Playing in 110 degrees in Sunset Park during the summer time is just not fun anymore. Indoor basketball court with air-conditioner? Count me in!
The cardio equipment is great and diverse. Don't know much about cardio equipment to get into deep details, but they have a cycling room and also free classes; yoga, boxing and the usual. There's also an indoor track on the fourth floor. Seems more than enough for me.
The weight training room is the best in Las Vegas, hands down. I've been to Gold's, LVAC, and 24-Hour Fitness, and none of theirs tops the UNLV Rec Center. The dumbbells go over 100 pounds, can't remember what exactly but I know it's definitely over 100. They have two deadlift zones, along with deadlift weights. I haven't seen this in any other gym. They have the best squat equipment I have seen in Vegas. Also, there's alot of equipment for everybody. Although, I would not recommend going around 5-8, because it can get VERY crowded.
Ok, my biggest complaint about this place is...If you're not a UNLV student, it is SUCH a hassle to sign up. That is the only reason why I am giving it four stars. I graduated last winter, but I wanted to continue working out here. So I signed up to pay $25 a month with no contract, which is very good. Other gyms will eat you alive with their contract deals.
Here's the bad part; I lost my rebelcard and they told me I had to get a new one. Unfortunately, you need to go to the rebelcard office inside the Student Union, which is a pretty far walk. To make it worse, they are only open from 9-5. I work from 9-5 and have a one hour lunch break, so it is pretty much impossible for someone like me to com here without cutting lunch short (and who wants to cut their lunch short??).
I find time in my schedule to go to the rebelcard center, I get my picture taken and guess what: It's $20 to open a rebelcard. So if you DON'T have a rebelcard, you pretty much have to pay $45 the first time you start working out. How...nice. And you MUST open a rebelcard to work out at the gym.
Thank goodness, all your troubles may be worth it. Once you get all this garbage figured out, the gym is great. Clean, sanitary, and great equipment. There's nothing more I can ask for.
