Penn Campus Recreation - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Weight room is extremely busy. So choose the times wisely. They have a lot of rooms in different floors witch can be a bit confusing and a hassle to move from floor to floor to do different workouts. The equipment is are new and in good condition though

I am a Penn student with credits for two classes (“Program: Adult 1.0 & 2.0 Clinic Wednesday”):
Every time I called to book a class, I was told it was fully booked and to try again later. Recently, I was informed I couldn’t use my credit due to a system change. No one mentioned the credit had an expiration date. The manager of the tennis center was very rude and hung up on me. Worst experience ever!

The facilities are top class but the receptionist at the office can be a bit more polite.

Pros:
- Organized and maintained equipment.
Cons:
- Weight room is too small for the number of patrons it serves. The size maybe was good when it was first established. There far more gym goers these days than a decade ago. About ten years ago, I used to go to the weight room any time of the day and can easily access the equipment want. Now, however, if I can't make it before 4pm, I don't even bother to go to the weight room. Management should consider their patron's demand and apply changes to the facility accordingly.

Large gym, but that is the only plus.

The AC situation is simply terrible - there is basic no AC in most of the building. After 7am it is already super warm and smells terribly. It is incredible that an Ivy league university does not manage to better maintain its premises. Also, they used to offer towel services but simply permanently suspended this since the pandemic which is a shame. Lots of equipment is constantly broken. It usually takes them several months to fix it, unclear why. Changing rooms, especially the showers could be cleaner.

We take our daughter here for swim lessons and she loves it. The facility is in good condition and clean. We can usually find street parking (on Sundays) but there is also a multilevel garage right next door. City rates apply.
