It’s really helpful to know this information about RecSports. You can find many clubs at UT, sporty and not so sporty. A lot of them offer a free trial at the beginning of the semester, which is cool if you want to check if you like it or not before committing to a fee. I really appreciate the details in this post since I wasn’t familiar with the membership situation until I tried to access one of the facilities. I know many students would appreciate learning about RecSports at the beginning of each semester.
Grear post, Jack! Thanks!
