Mashouf Wellness Center

It's mid at best. If cleanliness and general looks are what your worried about then this place is for you. There's a dumb platform sign up rule that only half of the people follow and basically none of the staff enforces. The equipment in the gym is decent but the weight lifting areas are small. The most egregious thing is that whenever they change their operation hours you won't know unless you follow their instagram. Totally makes sense not to have it somewhere visible by the entrance or have the employees tell the people coming in that their hours changed for that day :). Also a lot of the plates used for weight lifting are damaged in one way or another and there aren't enough plates for everyone to be frank.

Faculty: before you consider paying for a membership, keep in mind that the Mashouf pools have been closed "for repairs" since April 2022 with no ETA from management for reopening. You'll be sent to the old pool in the GYM building, but access is spotty -- only open hours on weekday afternoons, but even then doors are often locked / no staff. Students: the special Mashouf pool-side events and movies advertised on the website haven't been available since the closures. Mashouf sauna and hot tub have been closed since March 2020 - not ETA for opening. No signs of any maintenance work being done in the pool area, so unclear if repairs are happening. Wish there was a timeline for reopening.

Nice building with a good variety of activities. However things are ALWAYS broken; on a GOOD day 2 out of the 4 stair masters work. Good thing there's a lot of treadmills I guess. A lot of the weight machines keep breaking too. I think that the centre might be a little better if it had fewer activities but the activities it did have had really high quality equipment. It also needs more weight machines. Staff pick and choose who they enforce policy with, so be aware of that. Also it's $10 for a guest pass and you only get something like 4 per semester. That seems a little vampiric to me. Maybe we get 4 free passes and then after that it's $10? Just a suggestion. Overall, it's a really good facility for being free for students ("Free" meaning part of our tuition). Has a lot of options that are sure to keep you entertained. I don't recommend coming here after 5:30 if you don't like crowds. The pool is very nice. Will be even better once they fix the sauna and the hot water to the jacuzzi.
