From the reviews

…Basketball courts, indoor track and pool are sweet perks. Beware this gym is not open to the public, but if you are affiliated with the U of A, such as alumni, student or employee then you can purchase a membership here.

★★★★★ — Leandra, Jul 2018

…I am very happy with everything available at the Rec Center, especially the many lap lanes at the pool.

★★★★★ — Benjamin, Sep 2018

This is an amazing gym with pretty much every type of workout equipment you can think of, a lot of it, an indoor running track, an Olympic size pool, basketball and badminton courts, boxing heavy bags, and I'm sure I've missed some things.
