I'm new to the gym so maybe I'm naive but at first visit this place looks awesome and huge. There's three different rooms for weights: circuit room, general weight room, and women's only room. So I'm highly doubtful there will be any trouble finding a machine to use. For the "huge" part, this Center has 4 levels. One has a track. One has a court for basketball/volleyball. Another floor for the weight rooms. This is a dream for a newbie gym goer, all I could ever ask for. Also the staff was really nice, even giving me a tour of the building because it was my first time going.

Cooley is a great free gym for students and residents at Hopkins. It is pretty big and has everything that one might need - a pool (outdoor only in summer though), a basketball court, an indoor track, free weight rooms, weight machine rooms, exercise classes, cardio machines, and more. That being said, while there is one of everything there is not always ENOUGH of everything. Often times I have to wait to get the right machine, weight rack, dumbbell, etc. How does the whole weight room only have one set of dumbbells?? This causes minor inconvenience and can slow down workouts. Still at the end of the day, it's free for me, the staff is amazing, and it has everything... read full review
