SEFCU Fitness Center

T M 2 years ago

In the past they allowed the public to join the fitness center and rent a locker. This was great because I work nearby. Now only students and faculty can join. Why do you have this restriction? There was never a problem that I saw. When my son went to UAlbany we could go together. When my wife's company was on campus we could go together. I went to school there. I don't understand making a policy for no reason.

SEFCU gym is decent for the free gym for UAlbany students. However, machines are often OOO and rather than fixing it, they just put up tape for months and eventually bin the machine. The weights on the new bench press also don’t match the current weights. They need to fix their broken mirrors and clear out the vents because there’s very visible dust on all the vents. Also, poor ventilation / no fans to help facilitate airflow.

Some of the most thieving, dishonest, lazy management I've ever seen. Every month they find a new way to add fees without ever adding new facilities or equipment. The moment you're off campus housing, its a new hidden fee every time you show up. Some of the most pathetic, dishonest business practices ever. Hope the managers croak painfully.

If I could put below a 1 star I would. The gym is incredibly small, maximum capacity is around 40 people and they keep making it more without doing anything else equipment wise. The equipment is decent, but for a state university this gym is horrible. Some of my friends go to community colleges that have much better gym's than SEFCU. There is no real landmine row, instead we have a hole in the wall for the bar to be jammed into. The school closed one of the three gyms which makes SEFCU even more busy this semester. (Spring 2022) There is no good time of day to go because it will be full either way. There are 2 bench presses, 4 cable machines, and three squat racks. (although one of them doesn't even have a cage) One of the cables has been broken since last semester and nothing has been done to it. The school is very COVID conscious, although there is over maximum capacity at the gym with people more or less standing shoulder to shoulder trying to find a spot to workout. This is a great school but I am extremely disappointed in the gym.

Free for students, has everything you need and is close to campus. Edit: 2 years later my biggest complaint is the size. This place is almost always packed and you may find yourself in a queue for equipement. Go earlier in the day if your schedule allows it.
