I visited in late October 2025 with a free guest pass. The CSU Recreation Center is a great option…read morefor Cleveland State University students. This campus gym is big with plenty of exercise options to choose from, including, weights, cardio machines, basketball court, an area to stretch, etc. I believe that they also have fitness classes too. I had a difficult time trying to find the entrance into the gym once I got in the building until a maintenance worker helped me. Once you enter through the front door, you will see the gym upstairs but there isn't a straight way to get there because the elevators and stairs go to different parts. I spent about 15 mins being lost, confused, and almost irritated. An employee tried to help me but their instructions didn't help me at all...LOL. Anyway, shout out to the maintenance man for coming through and saving the day! I most likely won't be back because I already joined a gym (my local YMCA) a month after visiting the CSU Recreation Center. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 165/250 total reviews in 2026 - 1006 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 31 July 2026

As a student, this is a great gym. Unfortunately for non-students I do think it can be a little…read morepricey especially because parking does NOT come with your membership and is VERY STRICT so if you are not in walking distance you will have to pay to park in their parking garage underneath them in addition to the cost of a membership. The membership seems pretty expensive for non students too in my opinion but maybe I'm just frugal. Though if you are alumni, have a student sponsor (or hop on a new years discount), you can get some $ shaved off the cost. They do have some free group workouts which is really cool and fun and staff is usually pretty helpful. The facilities seem pretty clean too. They have massage chairs and nap pods in the back room but only two of each so it can be a little annoying if you go back there and they are taken up.

-Leisure Pool and Sauna Update- CLOSED…read more If you ever want to use the pool or sauna do not even bother. It is constantly closed on and off yet again, despite the new re-grand opening as of July '26. This has been an ongoing issue for almost 10 years. I cannot understand the gross complacency of an aquatic center for the community, only to have it still in constant repair and never open. And I'm not writing about the Competition Pool - it's the Leisure Pool. The Leisure Pool is the selling point. It is the reason for the new price hike in membership. For members to finally enjoy the "new and improved" pool, sauna, etc after so many years of waiting. What a disgrace.

As a CWRU student, my two obvious gym options are Veale and 121. Being the broke graduate student…read morethat I am, paying $40/year for a locker sounds MUCH better to me than even the discounted rate students will get for 121 starting this fall. If you are interested in classes then 121 might be the right option. But if you're looking for a good place to workout on your own or with a friend, Veale absolutely fits the bill. The cardio room has plenty of equipment, as does the weight room. There are two pools, a track, and a rock climbing wall as well. And did I mention membership is free for CWRU students and faculty? Just swipe your card. The locker rooms have daily (free) lockers and the paid assigned lockers, as well as showers and hair dryers. They also provide towels (though don't expect soft and fluffy in this department...but they get the job done). I have to say that I am super excited for the extended hours in the fall. Also, many people don't know this but 121 will actually be managing Veale maintenance. What that means for equipment and cleanliness remains to be seen, but I'm certain it will be positive. Overall, if you don't need a "cool" fancy gym and just want a good place to workout, Veale is a great option. I should also say that I workout in the weight room three mornings a week and never feel uncomfortable at all. I've been to gyms where the guys don't always respect the gals who are working out at the same time. Not so here. The athletes, army dudes, and everyday gym junkies have always been nothing but polite. Way to round out a positive review. EDIT: So, 121 is now managing Veale and there are some pretty nice changes going on, i.e. love that they got rid of the yucky drop ceiling in the weight room! Looking forward to seeing all of the changes as they shape up.
