UCR Student Recreation Center

Bryan Vadhin

everyone on staffs pretty helpful, a lot of machines and weights and usually as long as you don't go during peak times you'll have something to use. everything's up to par equipment wise and it's apparently the nicest gym in the whole UC system

Nice place modern, yet bathrooms could have been bigger. This facility was nice e as a student recreational use.

Since its inception in 2014, the SRC, or also known as the Student Recreation Center, this has been a facility I have enjoyed every single time I have been here. From waking up early in the morning to get a quick workout done, to heading over to lift weights with my former roommates after class, the SRC offers a wide array of equipment, weights, cardio machines, and programs students can utilize at their convenience along with a wide selection of sports ranging from volleyball to indoor soccer. To say the SRC has surpassed its predecessor (now known as the SRC North) by an abundant margin would be an understatement. It would not be an audacious statement to make to say that the SRC could surpass the expectations of the average student here at UC Riverside. One reason I cannot give the SRC five stars is because of its poor flexibility to the response of COVID-19. From what I've seen in different cities across California, many schools have opted for outdoor gyms, allowing students to curtail the drawbacks an indoor gym would pose during a pandemic. In spite of many findings proving the lack of correlation between the infection rate of COVID-19 and gyms, UCR has not made any efforts to work around the current situation within the last year, other than renting weights which seemed very unpopular since its implementation. In spite of this being a reasonable claim for some and an unreasonable claim for the latter, in the end, only 3 out of the four years I was here was the SRC open for use. I hope that once the COVID-19 pandemic has ceased to threaten our daily occupations of life, many students akin to the fitness lifestyle will continue to enjoy and use the SRC for many years to come.
