Keating Sports Center

The gym is filled up with free weights, lack of equipments, only 2 running machines, no elliptical machine. Even worse than some apartments' gym and can't refund as an IIT student. A really bad experience as student. I would say this is the worst university gym I've ever seen.

Using GPS to get there isn't easy. Complex itself is pretty nice but needs updating.

No one wipes down the machines and the main weight room is constantly full. Edit - still no one likes to use spray bottles but the remodeled upstairs weight room is comfy and I like it better. Anyone in sports get super preferential treatment and are allowed into the building whenever. If I wanna workout before 10 I cant but for some reason the sports kids get to do whatever the heck they want. Its really obnoxious and makes it hard to work out sometimes. Its really telling how they feel about the rest of us. Absolutely not okay

Both the gym and sports complex are good. But this is the only place I have seen throughout Chicago that just needs reason to close down. Most of the days they are closed because of various vague reasons like too hot, too cold, weekends and what not. If you are actually serious about being fit then this place is just not right for you!

The equipment they had prior to the remodeling was better. The barbells they have now aren't even the proper ones to be able to squat. There is no grip to the bar so that the bar can grip on to your back when squatting and that can be pretty risky especially with heavier weight. The racks they have now aren't sturdy and there are no mirrors in front of the racks either which makes squats feel a bit awkward at first. To me, this remodeling just tells me that we lack funding or whoever was in charge of ordering equipment didn't do so mindfully.
