UREC is a highly impressive gym with a wide range of equipment and facilities. It features state-of-the-art equipment, a three-story running path, pools, a lazy river, and climbing walls, making it a top destination for fitness and recreation. The gym is known for its clean and well-maintained space, with enough machines, weight stations, and pools to accommodate many visitors. It offers various amenities, including indoor and outdoor lap pools and a chilled water temperature around 68 degrees. While primarily designed for LSU students and faculty, there are options for family memberships and guest passes. Despite being somewhat expensive, visitors feel they get good value for the quality and variety of amenities. Staff members are described as kind and helpful, though lockers can sometimes be hard to find. Overall, UREC is regarded as a phenomenal and comprehensive facility, providing everything needed for an enjoyable and effective workout experience.
All they care about is money and don’t care for the inconvenience of the students. Assistant director of the urec Jensen Kenney was no help whatsoever and I lost a two year membership fee I paid for during construction through the supported fee. You’d be better off at another gym.

Absolutely the best place to workout! I have been in numerous gyms and YMCAs and nothing compares to the UREC. The facility is phenomenal and there are always enough machines, weight stations, pools, and more to accommodate everyone.
