Instead, Henry Crown caters to people who like to workout to the scent of generations of sweat, blood, and tears. The 800 indoor track and the batting cages are great for the winter. In general, the machines are in good shape, and rarely busy. Unlike the nearby Ratner Athletic Center, nobody has to wait for the machine they want. HC also has a large, open room that is perfect for martial arts-bags, mirrors, and mats. Henry Crown is free to enrolled UC students, and memberships can be purchased. A discount is available to University-affiliated individuals and their families.

As others mentioned, yes, Henry Crown is old and dirty…read more In spite of its grime, though, HCFH is still the superior gym on campus if your goals are strength-related. With 6 power-racks and benches, free weights, a full-sized indoor track court, and squash/racquetball courts, Henry Crown is a place for serious gym-goers looking for serious results. If you want to watch TV while bouncing on an elliptical in a pristine, air-conditioned environment, go to Ratner. I daresay that people frequenting Henry Crown are not looking for this experience and if what you seek is a well-stocked and serious place to work out, this is where you'll be!
