Miami University Recreational Sports Center

Called this place home for far too long and discovered my love for weightlifting. Great facilities, well kept with updated equipment. It’s just gotten crazier and crazier with each passing year though—go during off hours or be prepared to drag your workout for much longer than you expect. I think there are too many students and they should consider expanding somehow. Wish I got into rock climbing earlier—they have great bordering problems they occasionally switch up and I sadly didn’t use it at all until a month before my membership finished! So find what you love and be open to new things at this place.

Beautiful campus and state of the art facility with Olympic size pool

Excellent facility with great ventilation, not the usual for large pools, and the place is very clean and staff is friendly and helpful. As good or better than the IUPUI facility.

There is a lot to like about Miami's "Rec Center". There is no shortage of ways go get exercise...swimming and wall climbing and racquetball and running and free weights and weight machines and classes and the list goes on an on. I have been going for years, and will continue going for as long as I can.

The facilities are always clean, including exercise areas, locker rooms, showers...everything.

One complaint...the weight machines, one by one, are breaking down. There does not seem to be any effort in place to fix them when they break. If those machines were as meticulously maintained as the rest of the Rec Center, then the place would be perfect.

Oh...ok...one more thing. Towels. For a fee, you can rent towels. I like that system. But the towels are really way too small to be considered useful post-shower. So, even though I have paid for towels in advance, I now bring my own towel instead.

This is a very well organized facility with an important variety of different exercise equipment. From yoga and group fitness rooms with beautiful window views to an extensive pool system including speed lanes, a diving well, and a leisure pool, this facility has everything you need. Occasionally the gym is too crowded, but if you avoid peak hours (which I believe google has posted) then you should be fine to go work out.
