A student’s recreation and sports facilities center inside a modern building at San Jose university. Nice indoors and very modern architecture and finishes inside and outside the building
I'm a student here, I found this gym clean and a lot of equipment got quickly repaired compared to my local 24 Hour. Summer session is mostly empty, and it's going to be busy during school term. But try to avoid the beginning of the school term, it's always the busiest month. Love the gym tbh
Really nice $5 day pass for the pool (until August 10 this year) There are plenty of lounge chairs, a large recreational pool area, a shallow section with lanes and a separate deep Olympic sized pool. The lockers are new and easy to use. Facilities are really nice in general, especially for $5 per day.
SJSU’s pool might be one of the best well kept secrets (speaking as someone who is not connected to SJSU in anyway). The facilities are so new that if you look at Google Map’s standard top down view, the building shape is that of the building it had replaced. The hours for drop in are flexible ($5 day pass per person), kids friendly, has olympic sized 50 meter pool, and the showers / lockers are clean. There is a parking garage next door ($1 every 30 minutes).
In A Nutshell: -The brand-new $130 million Spartan Recreation and Aquatic Center is awesome! -The community waited for about 2 years for this place to open & it finally did right before summer 2019. -There are 3 swimming pools, which includes a 15 lane lap pool, plus diving board, a kiddie/lounge pool area & a pool w/ 4 lane lap pool plus open water swim area. -You don't feel cramped & there's a lot of room w/ plenty of outdoor sunshine. -The locker room has lockers, but I think they are reserved for the students, so just use the locker room to change & use the bathroom. -I like the expensive $10 day pass or $60 monthly (plus you need to commit to a year) which weeds out people so it doesn't get crowded. Overall, this will be my new go-to place to swim countless laps, while getting a nice tan since it's all outdoor!
