Wonderful experience!
Love the ARC, great gym for everything. Has basically every piece of equipment I can think of, and is less busy than the RPAC. Also having those indoor courts really gives it a lot of space which is nice
Has everything you need! The gym is regularly cleaned, which is always good to see/ know. Not as packed as the RPAC but also not as beautiful and open/ updated. Lots of space and indoor courts/ fields.
I've been going to The Ohio State University since 2019 so, this is start of my 4th year here. In my opinion this is the best and most versatile gym on campus. If you have a c lot parking pass you can park right outside the gym, it has tons of free weights, areas to squat and deadlift, treadmills, 5 full court basketball courts, showers, lockers, and 2 full turf fields. I love this gym cause its clean, has everything I need, and often is not very busy since most people go to the RPAC. They also have an indoor climbing gym that looks amazing. Great gym and you should consider it!
I love going here to climb. They rotate every few months which side of the wall they Redo so you have plenty if time to work on any problems you have as projects. They have a decent bouldering wall as well. They really work hard to fit as much as they can into the limited space they have. They also added a liquid chalk dispenser that was awesome but then got rid of it. Either way this place is great.
