the facility is absolutely beautiful, the machines and weights are more than satisfactory (besides the lack of a decent cable row machine) but the facility suffers from one fatal flaw, the attendees. By no means am I a body builder, but I understand basic gym etiquette. In contrast, some of the huge number of people who perpetually fill this gym do not. Many benches are left sweaty and unwiped after use, people rack their weights incorrectly and leave bars and attachments around the cable machines. There seems to be a general lack of respect for the facility by the users and the floor goes largely unsupervised, which does not help. If you come here, get used to waiting and "how many sets you got left".

Beautiful views. Usually overcrowded all through the day. Ameturish undergrads hog the machines and specially the weight racks. Some of the ways people swing or drop the weights are down right dangerous. The more novice the user the less respect they have for the fellow users of the facility. The strange thing is, the floors are not monitored with eyes for health and safety issues. During the busy hours acquiring a locker space might be an issue. There's no change or locker room and you can not take a shower. Only 2 bathrooms downstairs that are always already occupied.

Good gym. Broken equipment is fixed quickly. Beautiful view from the cardio machines upstairs. Usually busy but everyone is pretty courteous. Makes it easy to work out.
EDIT: A few issues have made me lower my rating.
- The windows are closed and TVs turned off 30 minutes before close. Why? A lot of people are still in the gym at that time and it gets stuffy quickly.
- Equipment seems rundown lately. Many of the treadmills and ellipticals creak constantly.
- The hours keep changing (shrinking) but the price (at least for community members) doesn't change in response. Classic UCSC.
