Upon entering the rec, you will be greeted by the staff where you will then show them your ID. The staff is often extremely friendly and they will most definitely help you if you have any problems (remember, you can only forget your ID once per semester). Also, upon walking into the fitness center you will also notice they have Jamba Juice, which is a great for after workouts.
As for the fitness center itself, I say it is great. They have just about all of the equipment that you could ever ask for at a fitness facility. They have plenty squat racks, benches, dumbbells, treadmills, etc. They literally have just about anything you could ever ask for. The rec did change one thing this year that I do not like however. Instead of having the dumbbell rack against the mirror, they moved it out towards the bench press. This has made the rec a lot more cluttered and this is the one problem I have.
The rec is also often extremely crowded, which is why it is important to come at certain times. I will often try to work out Friday-Sunday because I have found that these are the least busy days. Also, it is probably wise to try to get to the gym before 4 pm, or else you will have a hard time completing your workout in a timely manner.
Overall, my only complaint is that it can often times feel cluttered and so many people go to the gym. The equipment however is great and it has everything you could ever ask for in a gym. It is also conveniently located next to the quad, so it is never too far of a walk for anyone.
In the past 3 years that I have gone to this school, I would give the rec an 8/10. The only reason it is not a 10/10 is because it is often cluttered and you have to schedule around when people will be there. Information on the rec can be found here.
