The facility is great. Lots to do, and its huge! My only complaints are that every time I go (6-11pm), it is WAY too crowded! I cant get a good workout because I always have to wait on the squat rack, bench press, a machine... Which brings me to my next point. I dont like how Most of the machines are in a separate room. This prevents me from supersetting and getting a good workout. Also, the machines are WAY too close together! Sometimes I have to wait until the person beside me is done working because the machines will clash against each other.If they made this a bigger gym or allowed parking earlier than 6pm, I think the main issue (waiting for forever) could be resolved.
Some nice facilities, equipment, good staff, and a lot of class and activity options. My review is pertaining to the area of the rec center that I use the most: the weightroom. Most of the equipment is nice, but the facility is far too small with not enough equipment. Most times of day that you go you will have to wait in line to use a piece of equipment. Its surprising that the square footage dedicated to racketball courts is so much greater than that dedicated to weightroom space.
There are a ton of things to do at Ramsey. The place is huge and I havent had one bad experience with the staff. Lockers are widely available and keeps your stuff safe. There are also many classes you can attend at very fair prices.
Every machine that you could ever want. They have multiple locker rooms and a swimming pool. This place had multiple floors and it requires biometrics (eye scans) to enter so you can leave your uga card at home (or in the car) parking is free after a certain time and they have princess parking for motor cycles and scooters super close to the entrance. It was hard to notice the actual building when driving by- but trust your instincts, park in the lot you think is right, and you’ll find it. I especially like that Ramsey has rock climbing options in the form of indoor sport climbing and outdoor bouldering. The center also offers classes in yoga, strength, etc. and you can buy a literal “class pass” to access. All the yoga you want in a certain length of time. I personally do not work out in the gym - too many people and too many grunting body builders but the class workouts, swimming pool, and rock climbing wall are good enough for me!
Great gym with pretty much everything you need. If your a student make sure you take advantage since you are already paying for it.
Amazing gym, olympic pool, in door track and I suspect many things Ive yet to discover even after four years at UGA.
Awesome and super fun place!
Very clean and strictly observing covid-19 measures. I would definitely recommend anyone interested to use the facility.
Top notch facility. Clean, with endless options for working out, including a pool. I have had negative experiences with the staff who has been unnecessarily rude on a few occasions though; that is the only reason it does not receive 5 stars.
Used for almost 10 years while at UGA. First class facility with excellent equipment and physical activity options. Miss being able to have so many things at my disposal as a student!
I love to work out here! It has a massive climbing wall, an indoor track, and two separate weight rooms. Its the best workout that students money can buy!
This place is excellent place for UGA students! I like the gym there. Be sure to come before 7pm if you dont have car.
University of Georgia students and student athletes enjoy a state of the art mixed use athletic facility featuring Olympic size swimming and diving pools, volleyball stadium and extensive training rooms. If a major part of your college criteria includes sports and sports training, check out Ramsey!
Nice facilities and friendly staff. Confusing if you have never been though
As an UGA employee and student I have loved Ramsey center. I have not take classes on site because I never wanted to pay twice to use a facility, but the equipment is top notch.
Had everything you want from swimming to rock climbing. The only problem is that they dont offer every sport set up all the time. For instance, badminton is only available at some times not all the time.
Equipement is top notch and the employees are always happy to assist. I come here for weight training and the occasional run on the 3rd floor track. Always a good time.
Ramsey hosted numerous events from the 1996 Olympics. Great work-out facilities, indoor track, multiple pools, etc. I wish they would prorate family memberships and class passes, as well as offer more and in - depth clinics in various sports/camping/outdoor activities.
Massive with a variety of different possible activities. The weight room is usually full, but other than that it is a clean and useful building.
This Is a all in 1 GYM!10/10
One of my favorite places to swim at. Its super clean and the parking is free. Its great!

Best gym ive ever been to
Great place to workout as a student. It is always clean and theres tons of things to do.
The pool is amazing and it wasnt to hot or too cold and all of the students seemed happy to be there.
Clean, very large workout facility. Friendly staff.
Extremely crowded from 6-9pm....good luck trying to get a decent workout in between these hours!
Woo pig sooie...go razorback!...coach Harper & coach Anthony are the best!..they get the best out of their swimmers
My daughter has swim meets here and this is a great facility.
One of the nicest swimming venues in the state of GA. Staff is friendly.
Awesome gym and athletic faculties. Really enjoy the climbing wall.
Nice facility. Need warmer water in the locker room for showering/shaving.
Lots of equipment, but also always crowded. Post work workouts are seriously hampered by the crowd and noise.
Great facility. We were there for a swim meet.
They spent a small fortune on this place back in the mid-1990s, but no sauna, no steamroom.
Love this place. I attend 1-2 times a year for gymnastics
My fav place!!
This place is fantastic and hugggeee! I loved it! 14/10 will recommend everyone!
Not enough bench press equipment and sorely lacking in the deadlift and squat racks. Otherwise its alright.

The best gym I visited and great price of membership

As a UGA student must report to the place, whether it is in the stage of undergraduate full of vitality and hope, or graduation, which is tied to the laboratory every day, drained the brain, and struggles with the seminar, as long as there is If you are free, you should experience the excellent equipment provided by the school. There are a lot of basic equipment: basketball court, badminton court, volleyball court, rock climbing field, two fitness centers, a row of gymnastics classrooms, and the famous swimming pool here. More importantly, you can park for free after 4:30 in the afternoon. Turn on your exercise time. Dont forget, in the project where you pay the tuition fee, you have already included the use of the Ramsey student center. Dont let your body be unhappy. Start planning to find a good partner and go to Ramsey.
Nice pool and UGA

Review №2
2021-11-13Clean and well-managed. Wide variety of sports, activities, and classes available to students. However, there are not enough squat racks, and its clear that the main gym is not large enough to accommodate for all of UGA during mid to late afternoon hours.
Review №3
2018-04-30This place has a big professional pool, some gyms, a track for running. It is equipped with modern machines. There are some courts for basketball, volleyball

2019-10-29Great workout spot if your a student or spouse of a student. It can get crowded but what gym doesnt? Pool is wonderful. Staff is great. Just be careful as they arent open on gamedays.

2020-01-29The natatorium is my favorite place. Swimming is a passion for me.
Review №6
2021-01-18The best facility on the UGA campus. Incredibly kind staff members who are always willing to help, even if you feel stupid asking for help. I feel safer here than I do in my classes because they actually enforce COVID protocols.
Review №7
2018-01-04Top notch customer service. Extremely cheap, great value, and effective personal training. Can be crowded at usual gym crowded hours. Great variety of classes. Management really cares about the patrons experience at the Ramsey center instead of money like private gyms seem to sometimes dwell on. Go Dawgs!
Review №8
2017-07-05This student recreation center for the University of Georgia is top notch. Two full sized gyms, an Olympic sized pool, 7 basketball courts, a rock wall, and multiple studio workout rooms that can be reserved and sometimes host special group workout classes. Does get a little crowded in the afternoons but the place is so big it usually isnt too hard finding something to do.
Review №9
2017-01-25Great facilities and lots of options for classes, especially if youre a student. Its clean and well-kept. Its pretty crowded in the evening though, so consider going on a lunch break or in between classes if you want to avoid the crowds. A note if you use the pools, make sure you check the schedule online to see which pools are open and at what time since its sort of erratic depending on whats going on.

2014-11-21Great place for the campus community to live a healthy lifestyle. Climbing walls, challenge courses, and an outdoor recreation rental store offer great alternative choices. Hundreds of group fitness classes and other features make this facility incredible!
