Youngstown State University Recreation Center now open to the public

You no longer have to be a student or faculty member to come work out at YSU's Recreation Center. Members of the community can purchase a membership, just like any other gym, and use the space.

There are 130 pieces of cardio and weight equipment, four multi-use courts that are for basketball, pickle ball, volleyball and badminton. There is also an indoor track, aerobic and spinning studios and a 53 foot rock wall to climb. 

Nick Gallo, YSU's Rec Center Marketing and Membership Coordinator, says by opening the rec center to the public, they can bring in more funds to the center to offer more to its members.

They also offer an affiliate membership that gets you a discount if you know someone who works at the university. Parking is also an option with the membership. 

Membership prices: 

Community Membership - $300 per year 

Community Membership with parking - $600 per year

Affiliate Membership - $200 per year 

Affiliate Membership with parking - $500 per year

To purchase a membership visit YSU's Rec Center website or stop by the facility.
