The Fitrec has been an amazing part during my studies at Boston University. Its a great place to meet and talk to other students from BU and the building offers everything you need for doing great sports (perfect for swimming, climbing, running, weight lift, soccer, basketball, volleyball, tennis, squash, dancing and much more ...)

Great facilities, excellent equipment selection. Only complaint is the Mens locker room could use better ventilation, if you catch my meaning.

The best place ever to workout and swim. Pool is very clean, hot tub is large and terrific.Best variety of machines I have ever seen. Staff super nice. You won’t want to go anywhere else once you has Ben there.

Hi-- I am actually part of the staff at BU and use this center, and I want to note a few things:1. There are staff-only locker rooms, which by my experience are used 80% by staff and Im not sure how some of the younger patrons of these got the keypad codes to get in. Its my only reason for 4 and not 5 stars.2. Your BU Blue Cross/Blue Shield health benefit can be used here and will reimburse $150.3. If you dont buy a locker membership, finding a locker during a crowded time (4pm+) can be tough, but not impossible.4. The equipment is new and quite good, but be mindful that these are kids youre working out with, some of whom were in highschool the year prior, and many will not know gym etiquette about wiping things down after use, or not starting a workout infront of someone using the wall mirror for their workout. And other small nuisances.5. The sauna is located in the locker room for the pool, but bear in mind that it is dry, the temperature control is outside the room and I think goes only to 130 or so, and is a bit temperamental (in the mens locker room), and more importantly-- there is no water to place on the stones. So the students/staff get water from elsewhere and bring it in water bottles to place it on the stones so the room has steam. So dont expect an authentic sauna experience at 180 degrees, and ladling water.6. The indoor track is really nice, and rare, and I am super-grateful for it because treadmills are so boring. But take note of what I said in point #3-- youre also sharing it with kids who dont know gym etiquette yet, and will not read the signs that say that on specific days of the week you run/walk in one or another specific direction around the track. So you will run into them, and will need to correct them, but so far all have taken the correction in a friendly way.7. Some locker-room showers do have broken soap dispenses that dont work despite being full, so youll need to be aware and bring your own.Otherwise the facility is plain great -- clean facility, new equipment, good airflow on the running track, minimal college highjinks from the students that are confined to the locker room.

Too crowded. Generally a nice space but I can almost never do my workout plan because it’s overly crowded and not enough space/equipment.

Awesome gym! Loads of equipment and with 20,000 SQ feet you wont be disappointed. Of course around peak times you would normally find a line for the core lifts( bench, deadlift and squat) but with two floor of equipment even a indoor track?! Love this place!

This gym has some great, new equipment, but the layout is difficult to navigate and find the equipment/machine you want. The Fitrec is generally very busy with undergraduate students, with the rush beginning around lunchtime and continuing thorugh the end of the work/school day, and usually later. I recommend going in the morning if you can.
