Valentin Beres

Good when it's not exam season.

Anil Dhakal

Regularly visit to keep you fit and fine

赖源博（Willard）

The place fight for final...

Len Caballes

Need more facilities like this

Maude Stephany

Went to my first gathering at University of Waterloo in this building. Lots of construction going on so a bit tough to get around.

DJ ASLAN

Great place to workout also known as the hell of exams

Manan Oza

Beautiful design.

Benjamin Chen

It is the place where you screw yourself.

Spencer Clerk

Hands down the best gym in the area for serious lifting.

Robb Nelson

Decent facilities, could use a significant update as it feels like the 70's in there most of the time.

Brian Bartlett

Wow - many ways to get fit.

Aswani Kumar Cherukuri

Very nice convocation

Naymul Hulk

Really compact, doesn’t have much equipments. Is usually crowded

XING CHEN

Great Convocation in Oct.21, 2016

Kaye Puhakka

Always loud and inconvenient. You either come here to exercise or do exams... and then hopefully you eventually graduate here. But the main issue is the accessability of the building

Justin Lu

Clean facilities and nice gym, great place unless you're writing an exam there

Sebastian Mocny

Always under construction, and the weight lifting gym is closed. Schedule is difficult to find and requires quite a lot of navigation to find what you are looking for. The main court floor has considerable 'dead zones' where balls don't bounce off of. Swimming pools have very few rec times, and thus are regularly packed. There are a lot of facilities, but the place is noticeably old. Still good to get a workout

steve thompson

Enjoyed Convocation 2019 here as we cheered on our Engineering grad. It is amazing how many people will actually fit in this space.????

Marta Borowska

You will probably write many exams here. They changed the bleachers a few years ago so they are a bit better for convocations which are held here as well. Lots of sports games go on here for basketball and volleyball. There is a small workout are upstairs as well!

Brendan O'Sullivan

Poor facilities, sports are often at bad hours, and they refuse to have drop in volleyball but are willing to set up badminton

Lloyd Torres

It's a bit gloomy inside and the water tastes like iron, but there's a decent selection of sports clubs here. Also a pretty nerve wracking place to write exams in.

성민박

I hate writing an exam here

Mo Yassin

The PAC.

Pavel Recnik

The PAC is the older of the two gyms on campus. It has squash courts, a full gym, a pool, and a bouldering wall to name a few of the features. Most features are open to UW students at no additional cost. Being a member of the outers club will gain you access to the bouldering wall.

Rayster Z

Place where the orientations, final exams are held.

Matthew Trask

squash is here

M. Fatih Yegul

Great sports complex.

Cyril Thomas

Decent. The swimming pool is really small though.

Dillon Chan

Great gym setup, especially with the HPZ. No AC though, but its not that bad.

Adrian Machado

Decent gym, CIF is better though.

Ben Z.

It does exactly what it was built for.

Nae Rolls

Great seating to watch a basketball game

Jeremy Foxcroft

Features gymnasiums, squash courts, and large spaces that can be used by various clubs. Not very easy to navigate though, and a lot of the spaces are not very spectator friendly.

Michael Mior

A little outdated, but that should change when the expansion is finished.

Aryaman Singh

5/5 failing my exams here but at least it's sorta pretty?

Alex W

Pretty small and always packed. Go to CIF

lgniis Fire

Perfect place to work out and play games and swim but exams are also held here so not the best.

Jenny

The expansion will be amazing.

Edchi

I like having my finals here.

Ruslan Nikolaev

A little bit old, but supplies with gains no matter what

Emily Shi

I have exam depression from this place

Andrew Dobson

Feels a little dated, but great spaces for sports and clubs.

Andrew Hannaford

Desperately needs updated.

Mackenzie McNeil

Okay gym as far as universities go

Alex Bel (albegon1)

Indoor courts, gym, squash and 25 m. swimming pool. Big shower area i/ sauna

Towhidul Waheed

Here for Waterloo Provincial Competition of Robotics. Awesome experience Al these little ones with so much potentials in them. Best of luck all teams

Stephen Wen

Great community feeling at the gym, people are very friendly and supportive. Most people will be happy to give a spot or tips if you ask. Only people who don't fit this description are the football team players who occupy the vast majority of the gym some mornings.

Alex Lee

Good place to swim and work out.

Ramal Iftikhar

Amazing equipment. Could have more

Adrian Eitzen

Facilities are decent, but quite outdated. The building is dreary and all looks the same so you will get lost. Some staff are quite moody and not very helpful.

Pierre-Louis Guidez

My most and least favorite exams have happened in here

Alexander

Where's the yellow guy?

Benji Smith

Great service and location. Slightly overcrowded due to construction and temporary relocation.

Prarthana Thakkar

Super active

Jessey Rice

Older gym, but it still has all the necessities you need, not a ton of workout machines but staff is always very friendly.

henry yang

Pump iron get big

Noodle Nation

Busy and smells bad

Paul Rondeau

A dungeon of a gym but good for a workout.

Sheida M

The complex map is literally the worst you can imagine. It's like a maze, with doors that are either locked, or too heavy to be opened easily. There are not enough direction signs on the walls of the building and it can be quite confusing to navigate, especially for the new students. The pool doesn't have enough changing rooms with appropriate privacy for ladies, and the lockers are almost only usable when you pay for the locker service in addition to your membership fees. Despite all the negative things about the PAC building, I really enjoy the swimming classes so far and they are the only reason I go to this complex every week.

Lawrence Pan

Can't wait for the renovation!

Samual Phillips

Facilities are mostly underground, but they have many squash courts and the gym has a lot of equipment.

Rio Andhara

They have complete set of fitness equipments, first and second floor. Ranging from dumbells to cable machines. They also have olympic size swiming pool, but you need to reserve a spot/lane first on the website.

Tony Kou

Good choice for graduate ceremony

Marissa C

Need to include a map on where things are located as it can be very easy to get lost.

Marysel Rodriguez

I like so mouch, in the gym are profesionals machines, very clean and organize.

Dhruva Alam

The complex is old and invokes a lot of stress cuz most finals are here.

Damen Nyland

If you wanna workout and know what to do go here

brad bolton

Nice place

Bilal Ma

The weightlifting gym is like a tomb, but there's sufficient equipment there. Nice basketball court and pool. Squash courts and studios available. They really should be checking watcards to thin out the crowd.

Jonathan Lee

Very old building, too enclosed in my opinion since you can't really see outside, except at the entrances. Gym is a good alternative to the usually crowded CIF.

Jossen.

Good place to workout other than cif

Anna Marsh

Under construction right now and difficult to use- I'm sure it will be fantastic when it is finished!

Aaron Yip

Nice facility. Directions to the only available entrance unclear. Staff not so welcoming to newcomers. Convenient location on campus.

Ryan Lee

Literally just gives me PTSD from first year exams 0/10 would not recommend

Emerset Farquharson

About a dozen squash courts, free for students, An indoor golf simulator, ($90/hour) Half-sized Olympic pool, dry sauna, volleyball/basketball stadium free-weight gym, small bouldering room ($6/term) Impressive, I wish it didn't all look like a hospital or a basement, but very good setup otherwise.

Ehsan Ganjidoost

I fill trapped under the ground. No fresh air no feeling of light.

Felix

Old equipment however everything you need for a good workout is available. Decent size. However ceiling is a bit low.

Steven Washington

Making some major renovations. Would love to come.back in a year or 2 when they are complete.

Sami Kilani

Best gym in UW. Not as much equipment as CIF but far less busy

E. H.

You might get hepatitis from the gym here, but you’ll also make legit gains

Jose

I mean its a gym and then you write your exams there so minus one star

Souvik Roy

Good place for workout and playing basketball volleyball squash and badminton

Satvir K

Scary exam center

Billy Ye

Exam

K&M DS

Would write exam here again

Charles Li

The place where you write your exams and also the place you have your convocation ceremony. The low rating is due to how it looks, it's quite ugly like the rest of Waterloo.

Kushal Shah

It's a pretty big complex with a swimming pool, a big court, and an actual gym with workout equipment. There are also squash courts available. The reason for the four star is because this isn't the biggest activity complex available to students. The CIF gym is the biggest at Waterloo, yet PAC is pretty good still.

IFEANYI OKWUCHI

Looked good

Terence Li

Not glamorous but gets the job done
