Student Recreation Center

Every year i come back to this gym and there is always an issue registering their out of date hand scanners. Got there at 6:15 today for a 630 yoga make up class and they tell me at 6:50 they cant let me in. Im a student who will most likely fail my yoga class.
Why employee students who can not fulfill this simple job. Just let me in for the one or 2 times a year i come anyways.

Decent gym, but the summer hours? Closes at 8pm during the week. What gym closes at 8pm? And they try and rush you out around 7:35. I went in once thinking the gym closes at 10pm as per usual during the school year, then I saw them lowering the shades on the windows and was super confused, as 7:35 was such an odd time for anything to be closing.
Also– their summer group classes are flaky. I’ve waited outside the spin room, as did many others, for class to start, only for one of us to wander over to the front desk (which is downstairs when we are upstairs) to find out what is going on, and the girl comes up to tell us the class was cancelled. Cool. So no note on the door saying class is cancelled, nothing? Also– you will get a FATASS $ 80 parking ticket if you don’t pay $ 8 to park in the lot when school isn’t even in session, and summer school hasn’t even started yet. Makes complete logical sense. «Let’s pay CSUF $ 8 to park in a completely empty lot to go to the gym for 2 hrs», or however long it takes you to work out. I got 2 in one week, lucky me. It was laughable. 4 cars in the lot, all sporting bright orange envelopes; Christmas came early this year for CSUF! Good thing I have nothing better to spend my money on (like rent or tuition) than $ 160 in parking tickets. Kinda feel like my $ 50 for the summer wasn’t worth it honestly. I work 9:00am-5pm, so If I wanna go to the gym I have to rush after i get home from work to make it in time before they close at 7:35… I mean «8:00 pm.»

This is an awesome gym. Complete with any weight machine you care to use. They have a cool basketball court with a running track right above it. There is also an amazing rock wall. The staff is super nice and there are tons of studio rooms to choose from.

It is such an amazing place to work out. It is not crowded in general. Big basketball courts and swimming pool. I love to run a few laps on the second floor ’cause I dont like to run on the treadmill. I feel so lucky to be a student of CSUF.

I go here about 3 times a week when I’m on campus and get a workout between classes. I gave it a high review before, but now it’s changed.
Pros: has great equipment, large track on top of the basketball courts, rooms for yoga, mixed martial arts, biking, and much more! There is a fridge full of food and drinks. The students working here are fun and friendly.
Cons: Missing bars for the benches. You will see students taking bench bars and using it for incline or for the squat station. Another BIG con is the there are flies in the men’s showers I’m not sure about the women’s side haven’t seen any reviews or complaints about it. Every time I go to take a shower there are tons of bugs lined on the ceiling in every shower stall. DISGUSTING! We do have people who clean the shower stalls, but they focus on the floors. Look up there are colonies growing.

This is the gym located inside Cal State Fullerton. I come here a lot to play basketball and do some light, very light work out. My main thing here is definitely basketball. There are two courts. The courts are really nice. They have leagues and tournaments and I have been in a few. There was one instance where I «accidentally» stuck my foot one a shooter and injured his ankle. Boy was he pissed. Not my fault damn it.
Overall you can find me at the basketball courts here injury players and doing 360 windmill dunks: D
KBOB!

The SRC is fairly decent, although I’ve never used other facilities before.
Most of the equipment is fairly new, but sometimes there are machines out of order — which makes sense due to the high volume of students that pass through.
All the cardio machines on the top floor have TVs to watch while you work out, but recently they only offer network channels instead of network and cable channels that they used to offer. For cable — workout inside the cardio room on the second level, the lights are always off so it is very relaxing.
The pool area is nice to lounge at and wade, rather than swim though due to the limited number of lanes available to do laps.
Overall, if you’re a student at CSUF — just use the facilities since its included in your tuition and it gets the job done. But if you’re picky, go to a different gym.

Seriously, the music they choose to play at a GYM is HORRIBLE! I swear the women’s bathroom stall has been «out of order» for almost a year. Padding on gym equipment is ripped and torn. The only reason I come here is because it’s already paid for in tuition…

For years I was spoiled by the UCI gym. It was gorgeous, had a ton of equipment and space, and an olympic sized pool outisde. I didn’t take advantage of it at the time, and it wasn’t until after I graduated that I realized how good I had it.
Then, for the next few year I was… what’s the opposite of spoiled? (okay,
is telling me «unspoiled.» thanks…) Anyway, for the next few years I only worked out at various 24hr fitness centers in the area, and yeah, I guess I had forgotten what a nice gym was like.
Until I came here. This place boasts pretty much everything you could ask for in a gym — A pool, basketball courts, a large weight room, free towels, plenty of equipment in good shape, free lockers with electronic locks, and a *clean* bathroom. And their weight room uses round plates instead of hex plates — that’s just a personal preference of mine, but I’ve heard other people prefer them to hex plates too, so that’s something.
The squat rack here is so nice. It has rungs for all of the weights up and down the sides so I don’t have to bend down for every single weight (pretty nice for a tall people) and various pullup/​chinup grips on top so you can make use of your rest time between sets. Even the Smith machine is dual purpose here — on the opposite side of the frame you can put up bar holders to do regular squats or overhead press or whatever your swole heart desires.
This place almost makes me wish I had more classes this semester — I commute so I’m not on campus very often. Oh well, at least I have Monday and Wednesday nights!

I love this place. I’ve been going at least twice a week since I started as a freshman two years ago. I’ve taken multiple series of classes (both paid and drop-​in free classes) and they have all exceeded my expectations. Currently I am working towards the yoga series in the drop in classes, and it’s been great so far. Each teacher is different and has a different strength. A great way to start the day for sure. Also, the actual gym is fantastic, gorgeous, and spectacularly well maintained.

Swimming pool w lounge seats, wall climbing, indoor track, variety drop-​in classes (with amazing instructors), clean up-​to-​date equipments, lockers with digital locks, towels, and more! Couldn’t be happier with any other gym.

Great place to workout! Very clean environment and lots of available equipment. Always busy the first week of the semester but it dies down. I do most of my workouts on the cardio room

The mothaaa fuckin holy grail of all gyms! I never thought i could ever love being at the gym so much before i came here.
Every treadmill has its own lil tv w cable AND a fan! Even the outdoor pool has a dayclub-​y feel with its plush lounging couches and cushioned layout chairs. Those two things alone make this more awesome than 90% of all gyms. On top of that, you don’t have to bring your own locks for lockers and can rent pool/​shower towels. The locker room is soooo clean and huge… lots and lots of mirrors. I love showering and getting ready there more than at my own home. Also, theres no old creepy weirdos that you have to deal with at the local 24 fitness… mostly students go here.
Seriously, the only upside to being fat is that i get to go to this gym yayy.

Awesome facility with modern equipment. Instructors are pretty cool especially Lexi and Lucia. However, the staff at the front desk are not especially the red head girl who works on Wednesdays in the morning. She always gives me an attitude when I come into workout. Management should let her go. Otherwise everyone else is pretty chill.

Perfect place to go if u want to join drop-​in fitness classes after 5pm. Awesome schedule.

This is an awesome facility! Modern equipment, spacious and best of all clean!
There are 3 basketball courts, though one is usually reserved for volleyball or tennis and a track that circles overhead. I usually just stick to the cardio weight room but there’s also a pool, rock wall and 2 racquetball rooms that I have yet to make use of. Take advantage of this place if you’re a CSUF student, you’re already paying for it!

This gym is the best, take advantage of your student fees at work! The rock wall is fun (and your first time is free), the pool is a perfect temperature, and the gym itself is really clean. I would always see the ladies cleaning out the locker rooms when I would workout (thank you).
I only have 2 complaints. 1) it gets PACKED during the day and at night but with a huge student population, what can you expect? 2) the machines seem to break down often, but probably because they’re being used all the time. However, they are always fixed ASAP.
The fitness classes are also a lot of fun to attend. :) Best «free» gym membership you could have.

CSUF students — «Free» to join.
Non-​CSUF students — $ 5/​day.
You access the place with a hand scan with the pin of your campus wide id.
Two story. Here’s what this place is equipped with: indoor rock climbing wall, indoor track (9 laps = 1 mile), basketball/​volleyball/​badminton court, swimming pool, cardio room, weight room, lockers and showers. It’s pretty clean.
They lend out towels if you need. You don’t have to bring a lock, but you can. They have digital lockers!
I love this place. They blast it with A/​C as well. Why not take advantage of this place, since you already paid for it in your student fees?

This gym is beyond amazing!
I attended CSUF when they began building this center & was fortunate enough to use it for one school year once completed. I’ve since graduated and moved to LA but miss the SRC so much! So modern, clean & up to the times. Did someone say an indoor track thats rounds about the gym above?!
The classes were pretty awesome too, and loved how they were open on the weekends. I often frequented spin classes after class and on Saturday mornings. Love that they provide towels as well. They have every kind of room & class available, definitely check this place out if you haven’t.
They also have Alumni deals to use the gym & for students it’s free!

Yes I love this Gym, I wish I would of used this earlier in my educational career. Now I am on my last session of CSUF, I come here almost everyday. I do my usual an hour weight and an hour cardio. Usually I would play Basketball or try to get on the StairMaster. Free daily locker. Equipped with everything most high-​end fitness centers provides. The pool might be a little small but there is always a life guard ans it is clean. Track on the 2^nd floor the circles around the basketball court.
Few little downsides, they don’t fix the machines quick enough. Right now they only have one StairMaster while the other 2 are down. Also I really wish they would close a bit later, normally they close at 12. I want to workout a bit more when I get out of my class at 10.
