UAB Campus Recreation is an amazing, well-equipped rec-center that can handle a lot of people. It features a giant pool, a large gym with new and well-kept machines, a large basketball gym with four courts, an indoor track and soccer field, and a large rock climbing wall. It is a beautiful and great place to workout, chill, float, or play a quick game. The gym area is clean and can be pretty empty during off-peak hours, though it can be crowded during the school year. The rec employees are top notch and helpful. Some noted that parking is a problem and suggested adding more handicap parking. Others suggested adding specific equipment, more clearly marked rock wall routes, and later hours for students. Water aerobics and other classes are offered.
Rented the pool for a birthday party. Great experience.

The recreation center of UAB is everything you would expect. Gym area is clean and at least off peak hours pretty empty. The machines are also new and well kept. There are some classes but there could be more.
