Very nice facility! Plenty of equipment, rooms and activity. Complete glaoure! Disappointed that there are no alumni perks. Front desk staff young and loud. Not very professional but knowledgeable. Would not recommend Shake Smart's blended bowls.

Every year the Native American Students Association (NASA) holds their Pow Wow here. It's set up for arts and craft venders and food vendors. They have Gourd dancing and social dancing along with some contest dancing.

This is so not well maintained, there are more than 10 equipments with no alternatives being out of order for more than 2 months now and not to say the water filter is out of service as well. Idk why are they even charging people 35$ per month. It’s so not worth it.
