Mort Harris Fitness and Recreation Center - Detroit (MI)

3 /5 Bryan Elkhawand: The place is the dirtiest gym Ive been to hands down. I go here because part of my tuition pays for it. That being said, I get great workouts. From morning to late afternoon, I dont have to wait long for equipment. If you go here, expect to get great workouts but using dirty equipment. Im not even joking in the slightest. I like to deadlift a lot. After a couple sets my hands are covered in black grime. Its a shame because this place could be a lot better if they put some time into proper maintenance and some newer equipment. Overall, I love working out here, but the equipment needs to be maintained better.

1 /5 Izzy Vassallo: I was using the side of the squat rack to place my bench for hip thrusts against because the gym has no equipment or space for hip thrusts. Some woman cam up to me and rudely asked if she could use the squat rack and I explained to her my dilemma that I had nowhere else to go and that shed hit me in the head, and apologized for the inconvenience. She stormed away and got an employee to come down with her. I explained to him the situation, but he didnt care and just wanted to not be bothered by the woman who couldnt wait, so I just said Ill leave. I never make complaints, but when I went to the front desk to explain, the same employee came back up and told me that he agreed with me about the situation, but that this specific patron is difficult. I then said "So she does this regularly?" and he shrugged and said "Yeah kinda." So I said that they should stand their ground more and left. Ive never experienced someone at the gym not being okay with waiting, and have never had an employee have to come up to me. I was respectful the whole time and think the situation is just ridiculous. Will be joining a different gym that has better space and equipment, kinder patrons, and more sensible staff.

3 /5 B: I understand that this isn’t a D1 school, honestly a little surprised WSU is D2, but this gym is kinda embarrassing in regards to the quality of the equipment and variety. It basically looks like someone’s home gym. It does have everything you need to get a solid workout in but good luck getting the equipment you need without having to wait forever since there’s almost just 1 of everything except cardio machines. Really wish and hope the school invests money into redoing and improving this for us students especially since we pay for it and gyms in the area are extremely scarce.

1 /5 Brit T: The WSU school gym I recently visited was a disappointment. It was evident that the gym was not being properly managed or maintained, creating a dangerous and unhygienic environment. The equipment was in disrepair, with broken machines scattered throughout the facility. The floors were dirty and cluttered full of tripping hazards. The lack of regular cleaning and sanitization was apparent, as sweat stains and grime covered the equipment surfaces.
