Jesse Owens North Recreation Center

My personal favorite gym to go on campus. I really liked the open layout of the gym because it made it so it never felt too cramped and you could see if a machine was being used from far away. Also the turf area was really nice to do core exercises and stretch in. This is also the location of the best pickleball courts on campus and I had a lot of fun playing it with my friends here. My only complaint is that it closes at 8 which is way too early.

I get tested for covid here and it's a very fast and efficient experience. Bring your buckid to check in (absolutely necessary). Pro tip when you are walking and about to approach the building you should check in on MyChart. Also masks are required.

The best gym ever created. They renamed it the Ian Hildebrandt North when I was a student, such a great honor. Miss it everyday.

solid spot for weights including plenty of space for Olympic bars and lifts with cages. Now with 4 pickleball courts set up on tennis court floors.

Great facility for weight lifters. There is almost always a bench or squat rack availible and plenty of cable machines and dumbbells to use. You can do almost any weight training workout here. The only downside is they are light on cardio machines (I don't believe they even have a standard treadmill). If you are looking for those, you're better off going to Jesse Owens South. This gym is far less crowded than that one though.
