I have to say, I do agree with the other reviews in that this place is conveniently located on the NIU campus. For students it’s free, but if you’re a visitor looking for a membership, I’d say the prices are reasonable. When you compare the NIU Rec Center with other schools, or even other gyms, our gym doesn’t quite stand up to any of the rest. To me, the building is always crowded and the machines are always been fought for(you have to sign up and wait sometimes). I’d say it could use some improvement, but for now, it’s free and centrally located because I am a student!

I am a student and employee at NIU and this is the most convenient gym near campus. Parking can be challenging during«parking permit» hours and the crowds usually start around 7p during the week in the cardio and free-weight room. Student employees are always friendly.

I work for NIU and find it really convenient to go straight to the gym since I am on campus already. The month fee is only $ 20 and faculty and staff, once a member can take ANY work out classes for no additional charge. I am not sure about others. The rec does get filled up at night since most students do not want to wake up at 6am but if there are no machines available you could also try the Field House across the street. Membership covers the workout room in there-basic equipment(no free weights).
