The fitness center is like the Nova Corps: It looks pretty and shiny, but once you get inside and…read morelook around you realize it's a bit of a wreck. Situated on the west side of ISU's campus, its exterior is aesthetically pleasing. A lovely flyover of University St. and interesting lines, it's a cool piece of architecture. However, as you get inside you start to get really depressed, and are tacitly encouraged not to ever consider hiring any of ISU's engineering or architecture graduates. For all of its space, the rec is laid out like an erratic 4-year old planned it. Some nautilus equipment is here, other equipment is on the other side of the building. Some aerobic equipment is at the far end of the 1/8-mile track, other equipment is 3 floors below. Too narrow a space with too little ability to organize eqiupment has rendered the workout areas disjunct and too spaced. The electronics (WiFi and the TVs on some of the aerobic machines) are often malfunctioning. The locker rooms were designed and laid out without any forethought or planning: Lockers jamed into 90-degree corners so that users have to stand 5-abreast while changing in a confined space, no ventilation leaving it humid by mid-day, and with the weight room above so that anyone showering or changing feels they are doing so amid the siege of Kabul. For what was supposed to be the pride of ISU, it becomes a craphole of a place upon cursory inspection. To its credit, it is cheap (about $20/month membership for faculty/staff, "included" via fees for enrolled students) and readily accessible albiet with no available parking. Really a testament to a lack of beta testing, forethought, or concern for long term usability, its the only option on-campus, so its monopoly means it can get away with much more than a competitive market; but while architecturally interesting the fitness center doesn't rival the quality or interior aesthetics of even nearby Illinois Weslyan or schools in ISU's weight class.

The rec is probably my favorite place on campus. It is fairly new with a ton of fitness equipment…read more I usually go in the morning to have plenty of choice in my workout. The pool is clean. It has 4 lanes and I have never had to wait to swim. The locker room is open to anyone and there are plenty of lockers inside. The rec has every piece of equipment you would want to use. Cardio machines, free weights, strength training machines, indoor track, rock climbing wall, basketball courts, and fitness classrooms are all here. There is even a Jamba Juice for your post workout. Illinois State has one of the very best facilities for students to work out.

What a wonderful yoga studio! This review is for people new to town, because anyone who's been…read morearound for a bit knows how great this place is. You couldn't ask for a cooler, more central location in downtown Bloomington, and the front has a fun gift shop, so, stop in for that if you're curious! I attended a yoga nidra class here around new year's and Carmen was an amazing teacher that talked us through a guided meditation and body scan. I walked away feeling very calm and peaceful, but there are a number of other types of yoga classes offered. Can't wait to be back! Thank you, Main Street Yoga!

The studio provides mats, blankets, and blocks for no additional charge. I've never been to such a such a generous studio! The three class trial is an awesome deal, just make sure to use it within the specified time. My favorite class has been Saturday morning moderate yoga taught by Tonya. She has a way with words and will truly get your weekend off to the right start. This class is taught at the Washington Street studio, which had a lot of natural light. Another perk is that the farmers market is right outside when class is over! If you have not ever practiced yoga, I urge you to check out the gentle classes. There are all ages and activity levels at the class, so no need to be shy. Get thee to yoga!

I highly recommend The Training and Performance Center, also known as "TPC", for youth sports…read moreenhancement training. My son has been attending the quick start youth training performance program for a few months now. He goes to the program 2 to 3 days a week. This is a newer facility that is kept really clean. The staff members are well educated for this type of work. You can read about their background, education, and training specialties by reading their biographies on the wall. They have a nice relaxing waiting room for parents that is adjacent to the training area and it has a glass wall so parents can observe the training as it is taking place. At the beginning of the program they ask everyone to complete an assessment to document sports performance levels before taking part in the program. Then later on another assessment will be done to measure the progress. I really appreciate the fact that they do assessments like this. Last year my son took part in a similar sports enhancement program at the Four Season's Pit and they did not have my kids complete an assessment like this so it was difficult to know what progress they had made in the program. The pricing is also reasonable. I also appreciate their flexibility with the scheduling. If we cannot make our scheduled days for they week, they allow us to come on another day! Check it out! Good program.

I have been taking classes here and with these instructors (through an earlier iteration of the studio) for a year now, and I am so happy with my experience overall. Pilates and yoga mat classes tend to have 3-12 people in them, and equipment classes are limited to 3-4, so (and especially if you ask) you will get a lot of personalized attention to your form. You will also get to know people in your classes and, in general, it is a great group of clients, in every category of age and fitness/shape, who will swear right through the hard stuff with you. While most of the clients seem to be women, there are a few men, so guys shouldn't feel out of place at all. Highly recommended, and walkable (right on the trial!) if you live anyplace in between ISU and IWU.
