UNC Student Recreation Center

Zero space for the current student body, not enough machines and 4 single bathrooms for the whole entire gym

This review is a hard truth. From the staff to the facility there is much to be improved on from such an outstanding university. From when you first walk in there is a clear lack of professionalism, whether the staff is there to work, socialize, study, or solve puzzles (literally) is unclear. It appears as if the non-student faculty members are setting the student faculty up for failure, allowing for a complete lack of professionalism. The equipment is overall a great selection, although often the handles for the cables are in disarray and poorly maintained. No enforcement of weight floor dress code, and appears to be a huge liability. While the sanitation wipe bins are nearly always empty. Really hope the remainder of my time as a student the facility can improve, whether in service, equipment status, or even the air ducts being dusted upstairs.

Unfortunately, the wonderful student staff and university faculty that work here cannot overcome the terrible reality. It's not their fault, but the SRC is an unacceptably dilapidated facility with broken equipment that has screws fall out as you use it, out of order equipment that never ever gets replaced, let alone even serviced. It is left only with a sad sheet of printer paper to help it collect dust. There is not remotely enough equipment for the student population. It's unacceptable that the flagship university of our state believes that the student rec center for tens of thousands of tuition paying students should be this unacceptable joke. There are 10 treadmills for students to use upstairs, one of them was replaced with a resistance treadmill, so it's really nine, and it's actually 8 if you consider there is one that has had an out of order sheet upon it for months. So right, we get eight functioning belt-driven treadmills for the student rec center of tens of thousands of students. Logical. Let's not even get started on the terrible hours, it's just like our libraries. The idea of being open 24 hours is a distant memory of when this university cared to fund its stud

The weight room feels completely neglected. It’s dirty, poorly lit, lacking equipment, and nowhere near large enough for the amount of students at UNC. It doesn’t matter what time you go, chances are everything will be taken when you get there. Also, it feels like every couple weeks another piece of equipment breaks and none of it gets fixed.

This place feels like an afterthought. The main room has squat racks, benches, machines, dumbells, cables, and kettlebells, but even during summer classes it could feel crowded. AC is barely noticeable, fans do nothing to help keep the place cool. I'm sure that there has to be an additional room with cardio machines, because the main room just has 2 non-motorized treadmills. The worst part, however, is the lack of locker rooms. The only ones nearby are in the next building, Fetzer, but you can't enter the SRC from Fetzer because the doors lock that way. Additionally, the men's locker room in Fetzer has been locked for the past couple months, meaning I've just been using the faculty one instead. For a school this size, the gym facilities available for non-athletes is pretty shameful.
