Rick Down Athletic Centre

Expérience fantastique: i miss her

Expérience positive: The equipment definitely needs some TLC. Especially, the equipment that has moving parts. The Equipment itself is fine, but the things that are supposed to glide easily don’t, So it makes using this equipment a little bit harder because you’re getting so much resistance from the actual equipment and not the weight that you put on it. I would love to see just a new set of barbells. The ones they have are rusted because of people spraying them or whatever the reason but they’re old you can’t clean them, Which I think all equipment should be able to be cleaned. Also, they have the holder for wipes to wipe down the equipment but instead they’ve opted for a cloth and Spray bottle, which is not a terrible option for when you have your own gym at home but When you’re sharing, space, disposable wipes are usually the best option for cleanliness. I would also love to see a bar rack with various weights. They have the bar that you can put different weight on, That means that you don’t have the lower Weight options When using a weighted bar because the bar itself is probably 25+ pounds And quite large, Where are something that is shorter and has smaller weight options is definitely more versatile for certain Exercises. Overall, though, does what it needs to do, could use some updates, but in an area where the gym availability is incredibly limited, it fills a need for the community

Expérience positive: This building as part of the Prairie College campus shows signs of its age but works great as a student activity centre, event space, and meeting venue.
