About Mort Harris Fitness and Recreation Center
The Mort Harris Fitness and Recreation Center, located at Wayne State University in Detroit, MI, is a 78,000 square foot facility that offers a range of workout options. It features various strength and cardio equipment, a 30-foot climbing wall, two full basketball/volleyball courts, and an indoor running track, with full wifi available throughout the building.
However, reviews indicate that the gym struggles with equipment quality and cleanliness. Some users find the variety of equipment limited, often having to wait for access to machines, particularly for strength training. While the gym provides the essentials for a solid workout, many reviewers express disappointment over the overall condition, noting that the facility appears dirty and poorly maintained. Despite these issues, visitors report that they can still achieve effective workouts, especially during less busy times. There is hope for improvements, as many feel that upgrades and better maintenance could significantly enhance the experience for students who pay for access. Overall, while Mort Harris Fitness and Recreation Center has potential, it requires attention to cleanliness and equipment quality.
Reviews
I love this gym. Way more comprehensive than the chain gyms - which are the only other gyms in the area. I have a community membership which is affordable for me. It also gets me access to the pool. 🙌🏽
I was told there was a unisex lockeroom. What is available isn't what most people would expect a lockeroom to be. It's just a handicap restroom that has "unisex lockeroom" on printer paper stuck to the door. If you're someone who would feel safer changing in a unisex lockeroom, I would recommend arriving in your work out attire. Otherwise you're waiting for the next person to finish changing or showering.
