★★Omsk 1998Opening hours are so bad and hard, it’s supposed to be for students of marshall who suffer with study timing management, should be more flexible, sad a big facility like this opens for very restricted hourse especially at summer
★★★★★Michelle SweeneyThere is something for everyone here. This is a place that is good for kids and adults. Visiting the Rec Center is something that I love...... The building is clean. There are drinks and snacks available for purchase in the main lobby.
★★★★★Greg ColegroveGreat place to exercise with different types of workout equipment, has a pool with a volleyball net and basketball goal, also has an indoor rock climbing wall perfect for kids and adults.
★★TheUglyDucklingOverrated and Overpriced. The eight basketball courts themselves are nice, but they only have two or three balls. They claim theft but thats easily fixable with checkouts and if not checked in charged highly. There are three lockerooms with ample storage in mostly broken lockers. Usually takes me awhile to find one that shuts so I can put my lock on it. The two floors above have lifting and cardio machines. The cardio machines are fine but the weightlifting equipment is old and akward, for instance the benchs are so narrow ur shoulders hang off and ur butts off the bench just so you can have the bar square with chest. All there weightlifting equipment looks as if it was a hand down from the old Huntington High YMCA. When I come I bring my own basketball and soccerball. Again even the soccerballs looks like there from a third world country. The friendliness of the staff at the front desk is a 3/10 chance theyre nice. Back to the Overpricing, its $60 a month for Alumni and Employees. $232 a Semester per students (its auto added into tuitions). I love Marshall and am a proud son of Marshall so I would love to see The Rec great. For any comments or questions our @ is in the bio and we'd love to hear of any experiences good or bad.
★★★★Lori ArtripLove this place! My daughter has taken swimming lessons here since she was 3. Kaitlin is the best. She is awesome with my daughter and they have become buddies over the last few years. Sometimes the pool water is quite cold. However, the center and bathrooms are always clean.
