Student Life and Wellness Center

Rock climbing is very fun and not dangerous like that one person was saying

I fell 20 ft at their rock climbing gym, broke my back and leg a few months ago. Recovery has been extensive and expensive. My friend and I were new to rock climbing and we informed them. Staff was very casual. They only have you watch a YouTube video in the loud gym and then review it afterwards. We did the knot and belayed a few times in front of a staff member while the other was watching a Netflix show on their laptop. And then they had us do it by ourselves. Both staff members were behind the desk afterwards. We were left to be on our own. We weren't verbally told how to fall in the correct way, nor told about safety checks and the dangers of falling at different heights. Unlike other gyms, uvu is very relaxed and werent thorough and as cautious. Uvu needs to step up their safety protocol and train their staff to be attentive and profesional especially to newcomers. Very disappointing for a large and respected institution.

The wellness center is one of the nicest gyms I've been too, especially for a gym that is free for most students. It has everything you need and is in amazing condition, not to mention the chillest employees.
