Reviews of John W. Lindsay YMCA (Gym)

Lane J inkpen

Great place to pump some iron

Mark M. Pinder

Great facility with friendly staff, and the nicest lane pool in downtown Halifax.

Schuyler Smith

Way too crowded during the pandemic.

Sascha Richer

Weight room is very well taken care of. Personal trainers are A+.

Jake Waterman (Aguos)

Great equipment, great views and friendly staff. Nothing like a view of Citadel Hill to push you through your final reps.

Lukas Pearse

Unfortunately the YMCA app and website do not properly communicate with one another.

I wasn't as impressed with the new space as I thought it would be. Perhaps it's the pandemic. I also am not a huge fan of the staff; younger kids with fewer manners. The new Y gets the job done in a nicer space, but that's about it.

What an amazing facility to have right in the heart of the city! Staff is really great, and the layout of the center is really perfect. They put a lot of thought into the design. the cardio machine room is huge and has an amazing view out over the public gardens or up Bell Road or even up the citadel. I'm looking forward to the pool opening on November 1st

Was there briefly for a basketball camp. Nice facility. Clean and organized. Staff was great as well.

My friend got suspended for putting his mask down before his workout, many people wasn’t even wearing their masks when they are spotting and walking around got only warnings. My friend canceled his mambership, but they tell him he still need to pay for 2 more weeks. So what ever he do, he had to pay them money. felt like he got discriminated for being asian.

Good Facility, friendly staff. Ruined by endless groups of highschool/college kids who want to hang out and socialize on equipment for extended periods of time. Don't waste your time here if you're serious about your training.

Based off of looks this gym is great. It has a cool modern design and all and nice equipment. However the use of space is not so great I’ve found. The weights area is way too small for the amount of people using them, as well there is not really a space dedicated for floor workouts in that area so your left trying to find an awkward space between machines. The cardio area is massive and the machines are never busy so that is a plus. The swimming pool is nice however timings are not great. You can only book 45 min swims. Overall this gym is decent it’s a large gym but also pretty crammed in some areas.

The brand new Halifax YMCA is scheduled to open on Oct. 19th and it looks WONDERFUL!! It has 4 exercise studios, a great pool, a large gymnasium, a top-notch indoor track, TONS of equipment, ambitious plans for children's programs, plenty of open spaces for mingling with friends.. the whole nine yards!! Also, their membership rates are SPLENDID and they have kept the tradition of granting much-reduced rates for economically disadvantaged folks. WELCOME BACK to Halifax, YMCA!!

The new facility is awesome. Staff are making every effort to accommodate members safely during Covit. Their app is very helpful in planning your visits.

Mark Taylor

It’s a huge facility but 80% of the people are crammed into 20% of the space in the weight room. Poor weight areas for women as well. They used to have weights upstairs (used mostly by women) but they removed that. I think the majority of the positive reviews are bc it’s just a new facility which is semi exciting

do not recommend you to go to this place， there is a “super nice“ ????????????lady will be happy to band you for 2 weeks， just because your mask is on the tip of your nose. and if you want to cancel your card you will also have to pay the two weeks. so good luck if you gose or want to go to this gym????????????

Good looking brand new gym that is packed by students. I'm quite disappointed with the lack of strength training equipments in this gym. For example: there is only ONE bench rack for bench press at the entire gym, which is ridiculous. I wouldn't recommend weightlifters to go to this gym.

Joe Azzi

Beautiful Gym, greatly laid out. Everyone is very welcoming and friendly .

Elias N

Very nice staff, sometimes pool seems overbooked with swim teams

Amy Zhou

Super friendly staff and very clean. Their 7 day free offer is a great way to try it out before committing to a membership as well. The whirlpool is a plus!

Kip Grasse

Go there. Get fit. Meet other fit people. Take a class from Tina.

Owen Lee
