OSU you are making me very jealous of your campus' recreation centers!…read more Not only do you have the amazing and gorgeous RPAC, but you have satellite gyms on the north and south ends of campus? And they still rock HARD?! USC Lyon Center, please take notes. My one gym back in California can't even compare to JOS, our local, smaller gym that is big enough to get everything you need down. There are plenty of cardio machines, weights and even a newly finished basketball court in the back. All sporting equipment can easily be rented from the front desk. The hours here are also not too shabby, as I can just wake up early at 7 to go do my thing (not that I have yet, but soon enough!) I love this place, and although it's smaller than the RPAC, it still holds up very well on its own. Plus it's air conditioned! I don't think the one on north side can really compare. Work hard!

This is a quieter, smaller campus gym option (as compared to the RPAC)…read more Pretty much one huge space split into three sections: part basketball court, part weight room and part cardio area. Very easy parking. There are meters on the adjacent street (I can't remember if coin or credit card based) and a small lot behind the building.

Seems she always wanted to go but never had anyone to take her. Who says "Three's a crowd"? Fiddlesticks. We had a blast! Old people in their 60's/70's can still climb rocks and rappel down a cliff. Remember, it was a first for these old ladies and they did marvelous. Kayce and Jason were the best. A challenging day for those two guides but it really mattered and we all thrived! They were pretty cool to just chill and exchange stories with. If I were fifty years younger, I would love doing their job. They obviously did. Part of the adventure was also learning about different aspects of nature, courtesy of Jason, a very knowledgeable guide. I know a lot but now I know more. 04/25

I truly believe Yelp's silly ass policy of no selfies should be changed.

ETA: The Athletic Cos privately responded to my review, and I'm adding their notes in parenthesis!…read more I like this gym because it's quaint and professional, it almost feels like an upgraded apartment gym. Peak hours are packed but otherwise it's relatively empty. Addressing the remediation trucks pictured: the ceilings leak like crazy when it rains. These remediation trucks come in all the time, but I never see the crew working on anything so they must be working on the apartments above/next door. (ETA: TAC assured me there are no leaks, and if this is true then I speculate it's water bottle-related user error; still something to keep in mind since I mainly notice it during rainy times) I was prompted to write this review because I noticed how much this building lacks AC. I could tell it was trying in the summer time, but the ceiling fans are carrying. Now, It's unnaturally warm for this time of the year (almost 75°f) and there seems to be no AC at all... it's suffocating. (ETA: They addressed this and assured me they're trying their best, which I respect-- especially since the tall ceilings probably make it harder to maintain temps) There's no water fountain, just a bottle refilling station that offers cold water, room temp water, and occasionally they carry bubbly water (however often times the bubbly water's not working and when it does work it lacks the static electricity mouthfeel I like, it's very wimpy). There's a 'vending' machine with Bloom/Alani/protein drinks but the card slot to pay broke months ago and now users must 'see an attendant' to retrieve anything at all but more often than not the gym is totally unstaffed, even during peak and business hours. (ETA: apparent theft problems caused this change, but I wish there was just a normal vending machine; additionally, they're now keeping their eyes on the lack of bubbly) The equipment almost always works, but sometimes a treadmill or two is out of order. The showers lack any sort of separation from the rest of the bathroom, so if someone's showered at all recently, the whole floor is wet. Womp womp. But they keep the bathroom stocked with toiletries (shampoo/conditioner/body wash/flossers/q-tips/hair bands for pony tails). The bathrooms seem pretty clean, but some of the equipment needs TLC. I see cleaning crews every once in awhile, but they always come in the middle of the day so it feels like you've got to dodge the dude with a vaccuum in the middle of the gym-- but hey, at least it's getting clean. (ETA: they do fix equipment swiftly, the treadmill that was out yesterday is fixed today, yay!) The employees are friendly when they're staffed, greeting hello and saying goodbye. The gym's connected to Bada Bean and Booze, but don't get your hopes up; the hours are limited (closing at 3PM I believe). You can access the gym through Bada when open, but sometimes (and more often than not, lately) the door from the gym to Bada is locked during business hours so you've got to go OUTSIDE outside to access the garage when the workout's complete, even during hours that Bada's open and operating. It's a first world problem, but I don't like my shoes getting wet or getting rained on. (ETA: I believe they said they only keep the door from the gym to Bada open when the gym's staffed, which makes sense) Otherwise, would reccomend this gym. I'm a savvy shopper and this gym gives me everything I want. Just had to knock off a few points for the little headaches I've run into as a regular. (ETA: gave extra points for prompt response, they even included ways to reach them directly -- much appreciated!)

I booked the free three-day trial online, but when I arrived I was told I needed a local ID--a requirement I never confirmed during booking. As a result, I was denied both the trial and a week pass and offered only a $20 day pass. To make matters worse, this location doesn't even provide towels for the showers. It's hard to justify the pricing when the amenities don't match. By contrast, The Athletic Cos (Italian Village) offered a free one-day trial and a week pass for $35, making the experience far more welcoming and reasonably priced.

READ: - the best part about this gym are the huge windows,…read morethere's a lot of great natural light. There's also a million treadmills......so many.... - A lack of equipment which was made worse when they took away their first floor stretch/focus room and replaced it with personal training only. This not only took away extra lower extremity equipment which can already be hard to come by on floor 2, but now I have no place to do a quiet work out. The dim lighting was great. -They do not have enough benches. Barring floor 1 off now means 3 less benches. - I'm still paying the same monthly price for 1 less floor of equipment. Shrinkflation?

So the ARC is an OSU gym. Can non-OSU peeps use this gym? No idea. Well, there go my "useful"…read moreratings. BUT WAIT, I do have some useful info: 1. This place is best if you're mostly interested in lifting weights. That being said, there are a number of cardio machines (treadmills, elliptical, bikes, etc) that are available. I've never run into a situation where I haven't been able to snag one of these machines, but there is a limited number compared to the RPAC, so be aware. 2. The ARC has recently become my gym of choice due to its parking situation. It's free! That is, if you know the tricks of the trade - give me a message if you're interested in knowing "the way." This makes it much more convenient for me since I can go at any time rather than just when I'm on campus going to the main RPAC gym. Otherwise, you have to have an OSU pass or pay by the hour. Decidedly less than convenient. And thus the fat lady sang.
