ETSU Basler Center for Physical Activity — Local services in Johnson City

The equipment is great but the facility is too small. The biggest problem with this place is simple, the staff. I can’t tel you how many times I’ve been interrupted working out. Whether it’s dress attire or looking after the equipment this staff is unprofessional. On top of that the dress code is extremely strict. Don’t expect to come workout wearing anything other than a T-shirt; if not you will be “forced to leave.” Another thing, the hours have been horrendous since covid. They are closed from 1:30 - 3:00 for seemingly no reason and closed almost all day on Saturday. The management is awful and I have no tolerance for the way the CPA is run. You’d be better to workout at home then have to deal with the way this gym is run. Put your money somewhere...

Actually it's a 0/5 and I do not recommend. I wore a sports tank that went to the top of my shorts and went to the top of my neck. I was in the middle of a workout with my boyfriend when a staff member told me I had to LEAVE the gym because my top was not appropriate. First off this is a university gym and if you can't handle seeing a SMALL portion of my stomach then maybe you should not be making dress code policies for ADULTS. It is ridiculous that a dress code policy that strict made me and my boyfriend have to stop our workout and leave the gym. I do not think anybody should be coming to this gym because this policy is ridiculous. Other gym policies are not this strict and a university policy should not be either. I will not be...

Most of the time I worked out no one said anything to me about my outfit (for context it was a long crop top with high waisted leggings, only showed my stomach when I go to reach for a bar to work out my biceps and back muscles) then proceeded to have a girl tell me that is not up to their dress code. This is a university gym, not a high school. Every other gym I have ever went to, could care less about what I wear. On top of that, I would have understood if I was wearing a sports bra and spandex (next to nothing) but I was literally all covered up except a small line of my stomach when I reach upwards. This is ridiculous, I pay to go to the University and I can’t even go to the gym in clothes I buy....
