Emory Woodruff Physical Education Center

It gets so busy! As expected for a campus facility. The weights on top floor are arranged down a long hall which is kind of weird but has everything you could need.

I wish there was an option for 0 's but the bottom line is that the Aquatics "Director" seems very incompetent. Every month there seems to be an issues with the schedule for the pool; and it was my understanding that she has been in charge of the pool for a while now. Also everytime I tried to come in an complain to her this month she was NEVER there. Like, what the heck!

Nice venue for a law school graduation but Emory should have had family and friends attending use chairs rather than the most uncomfortable and unsafe bleachers I've had to use in a long time. It was a 3 hour presentation and everyone was complaining. 2 days later, I'm still in pain. 1/2 of the chairs they'd unfolded for grads were unused and would've been able to seat at least 1/2 the audience. Whoever made that decision for Emory screwed the pooch on that one. :

I went there to watch my son's school, Georgia Gwinnett college, play basketball. This facility is awesome!

They have what you need to get a workout in. Weirdest layout of a gym I've been to and seems like there is a lot of wasted space. They could use an update on the barbell weights. They have bumper plates but they are very old. They also don't open till 6:30 a.m. most gyms open at 5 a.m. and the pool doesn't open till 11:00 a.m. The staff is nice though.

I have been working out here for three years. It has always been satisfying. Staffs have been providing services kindly, facilities are always clean to use, and the gym provides most essential equipments, except Hammer machines and Hack squat machine.

Indoor tennis courts that are entirely underused to warrant the amount of space they take away from the primary workout areas which are used by far more people. The equipment is in need of an upgrade and there really needs to be more of certain equipment and less of others. For example, there’s a grand total of two 25lb dumbbell sets which is far and away the most commonly used and sought after weight. Get rid of some of those 100lb dumbbells and get more in the 10-30 lb range. Pool is nice, but the open swim hours can be pretty inconvenient. Not a huge fan of how toilet flushes make the water in the showers cold. Should be better for what people pay.

Watched my sister swim with masters group. Very well organized. We love watching them swim there. Only thing i really recommend is on the platforms where they get their metals should have some slide proof/mat/rug on them. My sister slipped both times she was up there.

The facilities, mainly the basketball and tennis courts, are pretty nice. I mostly play basketball here on Fridays and the weekend, but I rarely get to play because of the open hours. When I come at 6 to play during the fall on Fridays, either the women’s basketball team is on the court, an indoor soccer game reserved it, or volleyball happens in the main gym. I wanna actually play, but it’s frustrating when I have to turn home because I can’t. I don’t wanna keep having to pay just to turn around because I can’t use the court.

Me & my 12 year old son attended the opening ceremony for the SOGA Games: The Special Olympics of Georgia. This gym is well built, we'll utilized, and we'll named. We all should be most grateful to Mr. Robert Woodruff he provided many benevolent gifts from his Coca-Cola empire to both Emory University and the Atlanta Arts community. We thoroughly enjoyed being inside this fabulous building, and witnessing the fruits of these kids labors as they celebrated their Summer Special Olympics Games.
