TRECS

The recreation center and workout facility for The University of Tennessee is a place of gains and mental trails. This facility is equipped with a plethora of equipment, from the classic bench to the strange cords they have for plyometrics. The TRECS is more than just a workout facility though, it is equipped with 4 basketball courts, a running track, state of the art equipment, and a locker room for showers. Through the TRECS, you can rent out equipment for almost anything you can think of, camping equipment, biking equipment, workout equipment, you name it. This resource is definitely undervalued and not utilized as much as the students here at UT should. This resource is completely free (with tuition of course) and people still don't know about a ton of the things they offer! They also offer a ton of opportunities to get involved and maybe even get a job. They have internships, graduate jobs, and undergraduate jobs. On top of all of the facilities they have, they offer a a lot of different classes, such as: yoga, cycle classes, morning jogs, fishing clinics, and more. You can basically go on any type of outdoors trip you can think of, all at a low price provided by the university we all love. The TRECS is a facility that can be used by any UT student or affiliate, and has a number of resources available at our disposal. We should try to help others realize how much of a resource this facility actually is and help our fellow Vols learn more and more about this university.
