About France A. Córdova Recreational Sports Center
The France A. Córdova Recreational Sports Center is a great gym for Purdue students and faculty, often considered a perfect and top-notch facility. It is described as the best fitness facility, possibly the best in the Big Ten, with everything still shiny and new-looking. The atmosphere is motivating and invigorating, providing a comfortable and non-crowded environment. It offers a large variety of equipment and an abundance of machines and free weights, alongside unique amenities like an indoor pool, track, a well-designed pull-up station, a free room, and a mixed martial arts room. These niche rooms provide privacy and focus. Numerous water refill stations are conveniently located throughout. The staff is generally friendly, and the equipment is top of the line, with improvements made over time. Some minor notes include that early morning visits are less crowded and that shower water can be barely lukewarm. Overall, it is a welcoming space that caters to all fitness levels and preferences.
I go here and staff are friendly (except aquatics) and facilities are up to date. Honestly a perfect gym for Purdue Students. Probably best in Big10 too.
