Gillett Wellness Center

As a senior for me this is a excellent place to go and work out. They have everything you'd ever want for working out. All ages all levels.

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS DYSFUNCTIONAL STATE UNIVERSITY GYM. Or even on this school — if they treat basic facilities like this, how can students trust them to properly manage our education? This state university gym doesn't even have a standard indoor cycling (spin) bike. The only option is an upright bike, which is completely inadequate and doesn't provide a proper cycling workout. For a campus facility that students are forced to pay for, this is unacceptable. What makes this even more insulting is that student athletes get access to a completely different, well-equipped facility with all the latest equipment, while regular students who pay the same mandatory gym fees are stuck with outdated, inadequate equipment. This creates a clear two-tier system where some students get premium facilities while others get scraps. Spin bikes don't cost that much, yet the gym fee is mandatory for every student. This raises a serious question: where exactly is our money going? When most other state universities have this basic equipment for ALL students, there's no excuse for BSU to treat regular students like second-class citizens. Maybe this really does need to be escalated to the Board of Trustees of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities System. What makes this even more infuriating is that because this is a state-run gym, students can't get their mandatory gym fees refunded — we're essentially trapped paying for substandard facilities while athletes get the royal treatment. I've asked politely multiple times for proper spin bikes to be added, but apparently regular student requests mean nothing to this administration. Why am I even wasting my time and emotion writing this comment just to get a basic spinning bike added? This should be a no-brainer for any decent gym facility, but here I am having to fight for the bare minimum. Save your money and find a real gym off-campus. At least there you'll get what you pay for instead of funding athlete facilities you can't access.
