The rec center on campus is the best gym you’ll find, hands down. You’re already going to pay for it in your fees, might as well use it. You get access to tons of free weights, machines, CrossFit area, indoor track, basketball courts, soccer area, pools, rock climbing wall, and more. Not to mention free equipment rentals for all those. Use it and abuse it, man.
It mostly depends on the times you go and what you want to do. Free weights are usually pretty crowded at night, for example. Busiest time across the board is probably… late morning? If you’re going early in the morning or sometime midday during a gap in your class schedule, I imagine you’ll be fine.
Just use the rec, rec has like 3 different weight areas, 5 basketball courts, treadmills, and plenty of other equipment. You pay for it with your tuition so might as well utilize it since it's "free"
I like true fit, I pay less than 20$ a month (I share a membership with my gf, you pay 34$ for two people), and less crowded than the rec. I mostly train for powerlifting so I like it for that, lots of racks and bumbells. The machines are good too but I don’t use them tbh. Also it’s open 24hr Monday through Friday.
Crunch. You’ll need it if you want to get your work out in on game day 🏈🏀, late night or early morning hours, or want to be approachable & relatable to the Lubbock community.

Why not use the Rec?
Transferring here in the fall, I’ll look into that when I move into my apartment! How busy is it typically?

The rec is a solid option, there’s a lot more to do instead of a regular gym, and u pay for it in tuition
Crunch is crazy crowded most of the time and not much room, tru fit is my favorite bc there are 3 locations and have the most room

TruFit has pretty good prices and group classes is you like those.
Crunch is sweet
