Fabulous gym and more quiet than the CRWC if youre looking for a more low key work out. However, there is one individual behind the desk that likes to yell a bit more than Id appreciate. Great vibes overall though!

Its so hot in the building during the summer. The walls are very high when trying to hop out of the pool. The pool locker rooms (and most of the building) needs updating. I recommend going to the CWRC instead. It is across the river from this location (the newer recreational center).

The Iowa Field House is a treasure ofArchitecture & Continuity : what a beautiful, no fuss structure which boasts its parquet wood floors & natural light. My hope is that These functional and Amazing gifts given to posterity are Always Respected for the Future Promise to which they Speak

This is one of the oldest buildings in the University that was built in the early 1920s. But dont let the age fool you into thinking that its not nice, The building has been well mentioned and houses Olympic size swimming pool, a medium size gym, a couple of workout rooms, basketball court which services as a badminton and volleyball court and a couple of racquetball courts too.

I go here a lot to use the track, great place to walk/run as it does not get too crowded.

Great facility and enough space to exercise without feeling like your climbing up the back of another person in the gym. Excellent basketball courts for pickup games and working out.

They shouldnt use badminton courts for playing table tennis and judging by the size of the facility there should be more vending machines for refreshments. Overall its a good place for exercise and having fun while playing different sports.

Great selection of workout equipment. Many different rooms for things like kickboxing and other things as well.

An aged but historic building in the heart of campus. I have many fond memories of watching the Iowa marching band warm up here and its also just a fun building to walk/run around in.

Theres plenty here to offer for everyone, student or non-student. Various floors of equipment, lots of fitness classes, martial arts... I recommend arriving here via public transport or bicycle because while there is a parking ramp, traffic on this part of town is horrendous because of the hospital nearby.

Only place to play badminton but air circulation is so poor that felt suffocated after playing just 5 minutes. Would love to go there and play otherwise.

Had a decent night until closing time, my friend and I were drinking water and the bouncer decided to be rude and PHYSICALLY push us out of the doors along with removing our WATER. Rudest and sexist bouncer I have encountered and felt discriminated against.

Overall the facility is quite good. However some of the showers and locker rooms are in fairly door need for refurbishing.

Workout center is sub-par. Great for a quick workout but not so much for a full workout. Try to go as early in the day as possible!

Lots of basketball courts, great guys, all adds up a really good workout.

Review №32

I like to use the fitness area upstairs here. The facility is massive but its difficult to get access to the weights because theyre always being used by someone else. The facility offers a huge area of recreational activities like basketball courts and a swimming pool.

Badminton-wise, it may be the worse, especially in the summer. Basketball-wise, the south gym is OK, except in super hot weather.

Well-equipped eight room without too many frills. Enjoyable and friendly/helpful staff.

Review №41

Not the best, but gets the job done.A little hard to navigate, and definitely an older building.Basketball courts are great and I hear that they set up volleyball courts sometimes. (In Jun 2016 though, there was a wrestling camp which meant no basketball for certain times).Two places I use often - weight room/ ping pong room are located on the top floor, hidden away, which is annoying.But location wise, Im glad this place is here. The Rec center for UIowa is at least another 10 min walk away (although consider that 3 flights of stairs and navigating the building can take 5 min haha).
