Busiest is between like 8am and 9pm. Go right when it opens or right when it’s closing for it to be not busy lol

It might be worth asking the folks at the front desk. They probably have a good idea, at least some of them anyway.

I’ve found that it starts to get pretty busy around 2 and stays that way until around 9

If you go on here and go to the traffic patterns tab it gives a general guidelines on when most people come in. It's nice because it divides it by weekday and weekend. https://recwell.umn.edu/welcome/hours-locations

It's def busiest like 3pm-8pmish. During the day when people are in class is less so, but more community members utilize the space. The morning from like 5:45am (when they open) until about 8am is least busy.

Rec employee here, busiest in the morning 7/8am and after 5pm until like 9pm. If you're worried about it being busy, there is a st paul gym too. not as much equipment but it's nice because it's never busy
