Fitness and Recreation Centre is part of John Hancock Students Village, which also includes Agganis Arena ( named after BU top football/ baseball player).The centre is equipped with free weights and various physical exercise/ work-out machines, including tread- mills. Good facilities and novel rooms for individuals and groups.However, capacity is limited and leads to increased waiting time during peak hours. BU should keep the charges subsidised to encourage students for fitness.In the village context, high-rise towers for students' residence are appreciated...

There are aspects that I absolutely love; there are a few reservations that I can't ignore.Pros: The variety of machines and the multiple sections for free weights make it a haven for those who appreciate a diverse workout routine. The availability of different rooms for both individual and group exercises is a thoughtful touch. It's fantastic to have the option to isolate yourself or engage in a group workout without disrupting the standard gym flow.However, the primary drawback is the size of the gym in relation to its popularity. It often feels like the facility was designed for a much smaller student population. During peak hours (and most hours), the space becomes crowded, making it a challenge to navigate through the different workout areas. If you're accustomed to a more intimate gym experience, this may not be the ideal fit.I can't help but draw a comparison to larger, high-end gyms like Equinox, where crowding might be expected. While this gym is not exactly on par with that scene, the occasional overcrowding gives a taste of that atmosphere, which may not be everyone's cup of tea.On a positive note, the gym does offer multiple rooms for various exercises, but the issue arises when these rooms fill up quickly during busy hours (or any hours). It can be a bit frustrating when you have a specific workout in mind, and the designated areas are occupied.In conclusion, this gym has its pros and cons. If you can overlook the occasional crowding and appreciate the variety of workout options available, it's still a solid choice. While it may not be perfect, the positives do outweigh the negatives for those who are willing to adapt to a more bustling fitness environment.

I came here on a day pass very recently. I came in during the early afternoon. I was greeted by an attractive coed at the front reception area. She was very friendly, polite, professional, and knowledgeable. I told her I was there for a workout and that she did not have to give me a tour. I was extremely impressed with the size of this facility. It is well over 150 thousand square feet with multiple levels. There are so many modalities to choose from for your fitness needs that you would get dizzy trying to name them all. This facility is Boston University's gym and fitness center, so they spare no expense in providing their members with the best fitness equipment that is available on the market. As I began my workout, I noticed the many different types of weights and weight lifting machines that are available for the members. I was able to complete my workout without waiting to use any of the machines/free weights. I finished with a 4 mile jog on one of their dozens of treadmills. The monthly fee is about eighty three dollars per month. I plan on joining this week. I recommend this facility for anyone who is looking for a top-notch gym that will meet any and all of your fitness needs. I also highly recommend that you visit their website for more information. Good luck!!

As expected for gyms, it gets crowded in the morning and evenings when all the students use the facility. That being said, the space is quite nice, with great natural lighting and ventilation. The floor plan isn't awful, maximizing usable space without overcrowding. The pool is beautiful and looks very clean, and the weight machines were very recently replaced (Sept 2022). Lots of staff members on standby who also occasionally clean equipment. There is a climbing wall, though it's a bit small and open to public for limited hours. I definitely think the gym is better than most I've been to, but just can get a little crowded. Towels are available for $1 to rent.

It's a good gym. But they're doing some equipment cleaning and renovations and appear to not be bring back the 110 and 120 lbs dumbells. Those were a significant reason I switched to this gym.

I mean wow as a guy from Reno I’ve been to many good gyms. But this one was just so beautiful. Even better I had the best customer service from one of the front desk members. I believe her name was Anna but she was so nice and really contributed to my positive experience. I’ll be back Forsure

Been going here 10 years. Many good points but gym equipment maintenance is extremely poor. I would expect much better, the monthly fee is not low. I have seen broken equipment not repaired for months. Reporting such does not seem to generate results.

Awesome gym! Loads of equipment and with 20,000 SQ feet you won't be disappointed. Of course around peak times you would normally find a line for the core lifts( bench, deadlift and squat) but with two floor of equipment even a indoor track?! Love this place!

Too crowded. Generally a nice space but I can almost never do my workout plan because it’s overly crowded and not enough space/equipment.

Hi-- I am actually part of the staff at BU and use this center, and I want to note a few things:
