Wellness and Recreation Center and Carmichael Gym

Bryce Bolton 6 months ago

First off I love rock climbing. However, the uhhh v2s and v3s genuinely pmo because I’m not good at rock climbing and my knees keep cracking ouchie wawa! My climbing shoes are positively lowkey broken in now so that’s cool but I’m still terrible at rock climbing. I think I’ll just eat a bunch of protein and lowkey campus a ton of climbs to gain muscle and because I need to gain weight anyways fr (shoutout fountain fr). Hopefully that works out! And hopefully I can get around to getting some v4s+ in the next year or so! Yeah anyways Carmichael is great the gym has so much stuff (pull ups, pull-downs, tons of different kinds of weights, I think they have tires, a pool, studios with classes, stationary bikes, treadmills, stairmasters, and more!) You can also rent pretty much any equipment, a locker, or a towel. It’s pretty nice

Great gym with excellent facilities and atmosphere Carmichael Gym at NC State is an excellent facility with a wide range of equipment and spaces for all types of workouts. The weight rooms and cardio areas are well-equipped, and there are plenty of options for functional training, group fitness classes, and recreational activities. The gym is generally clean, well-maintained, and the staff are friendly and helpful. I especially appreciate how inclusive and welcoming the environment feels for students of all fitness levels. It can get crowded during peak hours, but the variety of spaces makes it manageable. Overall, it’s a great resource for students and a huge perk of being at NC State. Highly recommend!

I literally live here. This place has everything you could want. Multiple gyms scattered with equipment throughout creates an opening environment with loads of options depending on your gym anxiety. The layout is thoughtful and strategic, creating flow zones and secret areas. They have a multitude of classrooms and classes you can take, a rock climbing wall, boxing, squash, badminton, tennis courts, an olympic sized pool, and so so much more. Very wonderful staff that are enthusiastic and energized(also very fit) that are so willing to help. Every time I go here I discover something new that is more inviting than before. I heavily recommend as a study space too, given they have quiet lounge areas and study rooms.

WellRec: it might seem pricey, but you get so much for your money! The center offers multiple levels full with machines and weights, group classes, boxing rooms, and you even have a rooftop with fake grass where you can workout, so you can get fit AND tan at the same time! Furthermore, they have indoor climbing walls, indoor courts for basketball, badminton, etc, squash courts, outside tennis courts, indoor swimming pools, saunas and probably more, but I just started so I haven't seen everything. I can absolutely say that after being a member for just 2 weeks it already is better than my expectations and absolutely worth the price! Can't wait to continue getting fitter and staying healthy!

Amazing gym, very clean and tons of space. Large windows cover most of the center allowing lots of natural light to come in. A great place to work out with some seating by the entrance and lower floors. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Can be quite busy in the early morning, afternoon and evenings but rather quiet mid day with most students at classes. Overall an amazing facility with tons of amenities, definitely explore as there are a lot of places to work out!
