The facilities themselves are solid — there’s a good variety of machines and free weights, and the space is generally well kept. That said, the management leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to maintenance and equipment decisions. For example, the T-bar row has been broken for over six months with no update or repair, while funds are spent on new couches or machines that no one asked for. There’s also a noticeable lack of smaller but essential equipment like resistance bands, squat wedges, and proper cable attachments. With better priorities and timely repairs, this could be a top-tier gym.

Great indoor track (10 laps to a mile, above basketball courts). Not crowded during normal class hours. Membership open to alumni, staff, and current students of UMass and MCC. Parking is not a factor for students living on campus so not a priority, but there is a little bit plus a six-storey garage across the street. Actual gym is medium to large sized depending on what you're used to. There is a second flood with cardio machines, a smaller dumbbell area, and some machines. The first floor has a larger dumbbell area, freeweight benches, and heavier machines. 2 class studios. Restrooms on each floor. Handicap accessible. Very clean.

I just joined for daily walks on their track. It's a great facility, neat and clean. I enjoy my 40 minute walks. Best place for daily walks in winter.

Best basketball courts and lifting gym in Lowell. Update. September 1, 2019 There are only two things that annoys me after coming here for many years now. The admins always schedule “events” not basketball related on the basketball courts. You won’t be able to play basketball on a regular basis. There are at least 2 events that will take up the entire basketball court through the week. Ex. Orientation, seminars, or graduations. Parking in the back of the building is usually great because it’s gated but signs are not enforced. There is designated parking but all staff or guest will park in members limited spots. You will be able to tell because members have parking passes and security will ticket your car if you don’t display the pass properly. Yet security will allow any none members to park in designated spots.
