9/10 times when I come in here late night or early morning to an empty gym the basketball goals are up and they refuse to put them down. They tell me that it's reserved gym tonight and it'll be 9:30pm and empty until close at 11pm. I'll dribble for an hour with no goal and watch as 0 people even walk by.

I expect them to "planet fitness" the gym and make it worthless like a lot of other gyms are doing these days.

Feel like most of my money that goes to tech is put towards things I will never see or get to use. And what they have is not...

The TTU Fit is a fairly aged facility but it gets the job done well for its students. It offers an indoor heated pool, 8 racquetball courts, 2 basketball courts, a free weight room, an upstairs track, cardio equipment, a dance studio, and more.
