Reviews of York Recreation Centre (Gym)

Ceo Next

Nice area brand new gym BUT: Poor staff attitude, limited equipments, Full of mentally sick visitors because it's FREE

Frank Hadzalic

Awesome place with FANTASTIC accessible washrooms!

Clarissa P

Beautiful and clean and very large. It is all wheelchair accessible it has an elevator. I just wish they would put a cafe or a Tim Hortons in here or a place where you can make a coffee or warm up your lunch.

Jake Willitts

Best city gym, pool and track. Free for local residents. Can't be beat.

Heidi Kitaresku

The facility is new and very nice and clean. My daughter goes to swimming lessons and they are very disorganized with the program, they dont plan the lessons very good with enough room for the lessons, they over book. The first life guard barely went into the water and her second life guard is very good with the kids and interact with the kids very well and goes into the water. But over all they really need to get organized so they can teach the children properly

Great place for working out. Love going to the post natal work out class

Jessica Crane

A beautiful facility with incredibly friendly staff. The gym is minimal but provides good equipment. The basketball court is fun during free-play time.

L. G.

Place is huge and as many commented a nice addition to the area. However front desk staff were not pleasent to deal with at all. One staff member made an inappropriate comment or "joke"? Not sure why this was even said to me. I was asked what planet I came from....when my question was about the key card!!! Didn't appreciate it. Not sure if i will go back again, scared of what could be said next time :(

Judith Bustamante

Excellent customer service and the staff is very friendly.

On Sunday Augst 25th, at around 4:30-5:45 during the all womens swimming block. I was at the community pool, and recently I have been noticing more and more that the staff are not treating the women swimming the same way that they treat the other swimmers during the leisure hours. I have noticed that they have been closing the kids pool, telling us there isn't enough staff and instead we should be using the main pool, although there are six of them at the time (two at the pool deck, and the rest are in the office talking). On this particular day, I informed them that I was going to call the city and write a review of what they were doing, and then they decided to open the kids pool at 5pm (the tail end of the all women's block). A couple weeks prior, they shut down the water pressure at the kids pool, a good 20-25 mins before the closing time. I informed them that they shouldn't do this, this is something I have never seen them do during leasure time. You have to remember that the women's swimming block is filled with new-comers who often do not speak english, and the staff always treats them like second-class citizens.

Brand new facility! It’s a great recreation centre for people of all ages. This centre has lots to offer including a big second-floor indoor track, pools, a large gym, rooms, etc. Our son has taken several classes/lessons here (basketball and swimming) and we’ve had great experiences all around. Staff is friendly and I find them to be better than at other centres. Highly recommend.

Stud Muffin a.k.a. Faysal Sulatch

For lack of better word, this place is beautiful and free for torontonians. Constructed in 2017, it has everything you expect...well just enough stuff to do what you want to. When I joined I was helped by a lady who was very receptive to my questioning. And pass 2 weeks now she still smiles to passing crowd. Now that is personal customer care. Her name is Lina L.

Bryan Zhao

Great facility, clean, open with lots of seating

Maya B. Pavlov

Great center...everything is brand new, fancy...but it is too busy

Janice McGann

The large pool was icy cold last week!

Margaret Hall

Great facilities but I don't like the universal change rooms. I had one incident where a man left the toilet door open while he was urinating. And he didn't close the door until I got my boyfriend to come into the change room and close it. I don't like to change and look up to see if some pervert is looking over the top. The other option is to go to the women's change room and walk past the basketball court in your bathsuit and towel through the hall, through the universal change room to the pool. Who designed this?! Not even my boyfriend likes the universal change room.

Mark de domenico

Very nice gym, need to go more often!

Danny Heath

This new location is very good! Great walking/running track, has a lot of other features!

Northern Lights

Very good fitness recreation. Clean ... Well kept. Staff friendly and helpful ????

Chiwen Huang

Karina, the best instructor for drop in class cardio hip-hop and zumba! Need to be at least 30mins early before class start.

Nikki Benz

Great space for kids to have fun! Good programs although spaces fill up fast as programs are free!

Mathew Sottile

The gym is a little small and can get a bit cramped at times but it's free! They have pretty much everything here!

Mary Pop

We used to go there every week since they opened, our kids loved the children and caregiver drop-in program at the gym. Unfortunately last year we had a very bad experience with the staff. I escalated the issue to the park & recreation management and the district councillor. They contacted me back and we had few conversations about what happened and what could be done. My children loved the place and I want to give it a try again. I'll edit & update this review then.

R O

Take my kids here for swimming. Clean and friendly

Oscar P. Calderon

It's a good recreation centre everything is free sports swimming etc. If you're looking for q free activities come here everything you want is here I come every once in awhile to exercise it's a good gym and recreation centre

Loretta Gemeiner

Love the facilities. Staff helpful and friendly. Great place to workout, relax and meet people.

Ivan Frey (Ivan Avery Frey)

I just want to warn that the only vehicle entrance to the York Recreation Centre is at the set of traffic lights where Photography Dr ends. Google shows a second entrance north of the lights but that is an error in the map.

Senai Tesfamicael

Great facility, big and new but overcrowded due to the facility and all programs being $0...absolutely free

Joshua Musembwa

It's the best community centre I've gone too but in terms of the gym it lacks some extra space and equipment. Still a nice spot to go to.

Anatoly

I hang out with my kids. Nice place.

Denise McMullan

Aquafit?? Aquafit Arthritis classes. This does not address an aging population.

Faysal Sulatch

What can I say. You have to be there to experience it. First class facility newly built in 2017 and it’s all absofcukinglutely FREE for torontonians xالحمدلله (all praise be to Allaah). This is why I love ????????. Learn all the facilities the country has to offer to its citizens and then think TWICE if you want to complain about this country, like we all did and do about back home. Why else would you have left your home country to come here? No one forced you to, unless you came as a refugee. But even then LEARN to make the most of this place for your future and others around you xإن شاء الله (if Allaah wills).

Chanika Clarke

Love this center! All programs are free which is great for both children and adult allike. Even though it's free you still have professional teachers/ experinced ones who come in to teach the programs. Love that.

J Arcega

Very convenient location. Lots of free programs. The facilities are well maintained.

CHARLES MAGALHAES

I like this place my kids are there for a year doing programs swimming arts cooking gymnastics!!!

Юля Головчак

Absolutelly cool place????Free for Toronto residents ????

Helen Soares

This new recreation centre is bright, nice, clean and had very friendly staff. I hope it stays new like. They have Indoor Track overlooking one of many courts I can see my son and friends playing volleyball drop-in while I walk, jog or in around for an hour. Also has weight room. Great family activities for free and with free parking for Toronto residents. I look forward to coming back.

Adam M

Clean pool, nice equipment. Gets a bit crowded but it's a city facility so to be expected.

Brendy Dhanraj Brendy Dhanraj

Big building ,great staff .place to be

STEPHANY ballesteros

I LIKE IT IT HAS EVERYTHING FOR ALL AGES BUT THE POOL HOURS ARE NOT SO INTERESTING IT SHOULD BE MORE TIME EVERYDAY AND KIDS 10 AND UP SHOULD BE ABLE TO GO INTO THE POOL ALONE

Eric Hogg

Great facilities, great staff

Lília Vilar

Wonderful place. Accessibility is not to easy, just by car

Hugh MacArthur

Pool is good temperature for swimming laps.

alejandro cordova

This place is really nice, no complains. I still cant belive its free!!

Nguyễn Nhật Vũ

I usually go to the gym in here. They keep this place super clean, everybody is very nice and consider this is free. You can’t ask for anything better than this gym.

Sara Fung

Pros: -brand new -bright, open, accessible space -FREE programs for all residents -lovely warm pool (not chlorine. Possibly salt or bromine) -individual changing stalls for swimming -lots of varied programming for people of all ages -large track, weights comparable to what you would get at a fitness club, large gymnasium, even a play area for kids Cons -no food available on site, not even vending machines -very competitive to rent out rooms for parties (was told there for 4 requests for a date back in March, when inquired in January. Was told it was too far ahead to book for the next year) -FREE registered programs mean lots of people sign up and barely any show up, therefore denying access to those who would actually go. -the showers for the pool face the deck. No privacy. 2 showers with curtains also out on the deck. -the unisex bathroom and common areas for changing may be offputting for some. However there are lots of individual stalls within that area. -parking lot in front often full, there is another parking lot but down the way a bit

Samira Ahmed

Very clean and great service. Very big pool and adequate changing rooms.

Denki

My best place for a swim and do exercise.

Robert Saka

Nice place . .great addition to the Black Creek Eglinton area the can be used by all residents of Toronto .This facility has a nice sized swimming pool , exercise area with weights , an indoor running track , and two courts that can be used for basketball , volleyball or badminton. The center also has many programs for kids ..teens but I didn't notice much for adults and seniors . Its also completely wheelchair accessible and has lots of parking !! I'm sure I missed some of the features and programs of the center but they have great staff there to answer anything you might need to know. Hit that like button if you agree or liked this post ..thanks

Stephen Knox

Excellent condition and helpful staff. Great walking track.

Nathalie Bomer

Great place to take the whole family for all kinds of recreational activities, and it's free!

ali biid

nice free gym and free swimming pool two

umesh govinda

Clean and friendly staff, large welcome desk. This is a multi-facility centre with a basket ball court, gym, swimming pool, art centre, classes for kids, small parking area in front, larger parking area across the bridge on the other side of the creek. New facility with some programs free and some that are booked through toronto parks fun guide.

Sammy Iatesta

What a great and clean facility. We come to swim here. They have 2 wonderful pools. Other amenities available too. Gym, track etc.

Lyon Heart

Good place 2 exercise. Need more time for men and youth basketball

Asma Pasha

Great place for kids activities and adults exercise

Eliz Castle

Great facility excellent staff! 5 ???? Though should be more Zumba class schedule for adult in the evenings due to its popularity and only taking 20 participants. also requesting Yoga class in evening.

Ricardo Sabino

Family rooms are nice but facility is degrading quickly with minor things to fix all over like doors not locking or water that accumulates in some of th rooms.

abdirisak cmc

It is big and beautiful place but there are no enough equipment for gym; furthermore, it is not allowed to take pictures...

DA4KINGZ

Good experience ????????

TIffany Leclair

Great rec center. Swimming gym and so much more. I personally recommend

dan lynch

Excellent facility .

Andrew T

Excellent indoor facilities. Water coming from pipes looks like milk though, someone should probably look into it.

Christopher “SuperIchi” MacKinnon

Pool was cool. Lockers for storage not available, everyone had to just leave all their thing on poolside benches.

Marina Waddingham

Great place we celebrated my Grandson's 1st birthday here.

Judith Campbell

It's a great place to work out

Danalyn Asanza

ALL THE STAFFS HERE ‘ARE’ HORRIBLE AND RUDE! Honestly its not even worth it to do a review because anyone with an authority who will read this WONT EVEN DO ANYTHING but for everyone to be knowledgeable and prepared before you go here. IF EVER A NICE STAFF ARE TO HELP AND APPROACH YOU, its your lucky day! But dont ever hope it will happen again.

Dorothy Leroux

Beautiful place . Lots of free activities. Accessable. Clean. Friendly staff. This community needed it so bad. It would be nice to have a small coffee shop area. Friends could meet after or before an activity. Love the place

Nancy Rychel

I have been going to the rec center since it opened and I have had nothing but positive experiences. The staff are wonderful and the pool is fantastic. Great results too!

Clarah Migwi

Huge indoor pool, great service, organized.

Kathy Amorim

Wonderful rec center .. needs more yoga classes to meet demand

Rabbi Tarafder

Great place for simple work out, and classes. The classes get pretty busy and full.

Abu N

Fantastic new community centre. Plenty of parking, and quite a lot of facilities, the majority of which are absolutely free. Unfortunately it can be quite crowded,

K8E Ferguson

Beautiful new Rec centre. Great staff and pool!!

Sarah Mian

State of the art facility that is absolutely free if you live in Toronto.

Amrit Singh

Very well organized and great people at the centre. Great swimming pool, reasonable medium size gym. Lots of activities for fitness etc. Better than even paid gym.

Hajar -

I love the swimming pool , it’s clean and it’s not crowded

Mauro Fellin

Brand new (2017) and expansive rec centre with pool, gym, yoga classes, kid classes and much, much more all available for free or at a very low cost (I personally had never had to pay for my kids, living in Toronto).

Jo JoB Gallant

Great facility but drop in programs are poorly organized. I am giving this only 2 stars because we waited an hour to play badminton but gave up since we had tickets 11,12 and 13. After an hour, ticket holders 4 and 5 were still waiting for someone to leave. No rotations at all. So people on the court are free to play the entire time even if there is a line up of people waiting to play. I think it is a beautiful centre and would give it more stars but I find the drop in program for badminton disorganized and disappointing.

Dex Tao

Badminton: Free! All novice players save for maybe one or two. Excellent gym. Ultra high ceiling! Tonnes of space. 15min rotations. Not good on sunny day as high windows cast partial sun onto all courts. ????????Not allowed to bring any bags in gym. Even tho it is the most spacious gym. Why? Just a stupid bureaucratic decision.

Patrick Wong

The gym is free for all Toronto residents.

Garnet

1 female staff (Asian) bad customer service. Maybe because I think she rather be chatting with her friends than do her work.

Matija Han

Newly built, very clean and modern, with plenty of free drop in programmes and friendly staff.

Cyrus Handy

Great Rec center. Great indoor track for winter!

Merciless Operation

Much needed in the community. Great and friendly staff. Clean work out facility and track.

Amber Renton

Very clean, friendly environment. Staff is very helpful and always visible/available to you in all areas of the facility. I was a bit confused by the unisex changerooms coming out of the pool. There are male and female showers if you continue passed the changerooms to the left. Gorgeous bright pool with plenty of windows. Indoor track to run on on the upper level that overlooks the basketball/activities court. Weight room (also on the upper level) is average in size, cardio equipment needs to be signed out in 30 min increments. The weight room desk is also where you sign in for fitness classes. Make sure you check in a few minutes early, they fill up quick! Very busy on evenings and weekends. Fair hours, crowded for lane swims and you often have to wait for cardio equipment but it is a FREE facility so small price to pay. Parking is limited but there is a lower lot where there are almost always spots available.

Paul Onwubuke

Amazing re reation centre. Love the design. Encourage more activities members, young and old.s ????

Anonymous Perception

It's a good community centre, the facility is clean and programs are all free. I've never used the swimming pool so I can't comment on that. I have to say though, the staff who work there are horrible. They're very unfriendly and when they speak to you they treat you like you've done something wrong. We pay our taxes and deserve friendly staff working inside our community centres. PLEASE HIRE PROFFESSIONAL STAFF!!!

Nerissa Lewis

Clean so far as to what i seen but haven't try none the services yet

Jose Alfonso Taboada

Great place to work out. Unfortunate that I had two guys make fun of me for working out so I just kept to myself. Very relaxing to go in the middle of the day instead of the morning or before they close. You feel safer and not judged between 11am-3pm. If you want to avoid arrogant jerks who make fun of you for trying a machine/workout, avoid 8am

Clairemyst Charles

Incredible space. Wish more recreational facilities in town were free

Maria M

This recreation centre has free admission for all activities including swimming and classes (you need to be a TO resident). It is a gift to the community! The downside of free is long lines for certain classes, sometimes an hour’s wait, but I love that it is accessible to all. The place is well used!

Jay Kulkarni

Nice facility overall, with pool, courts, indoor track and gym. Parking is available but the center gets crowded at certain times of day. The gym is quite small; there are treadmills, ellipticals, two bikes and two upper body bikes. In addition, there are a couple of Life Fitness 360s and one lonely Smith machine, as well as dumbbells from 0.5 to 50lbs. In the corner there is a small area for stretching or yoga but it really only accommodates 3 people at a time.

TTAnthonyTranTT 陳國祥

They really have a very nice Big Community Centre here but I would like if they would have Ping pong tables here cause Trinity Bellowoods has Tables but here they don't have Ping pong tables

Truyen L

Loved the pool and fitness classes. Free programs are always appreciated.

Karen from Finance

Gave it a 4/5 because this facility has amazing instructors, the staff on the other hand......well lets just say whoever made the decision to hire that lady Erin......that was definitely the wrong choice. My children and I are fed up with her poor attitude and loud mouth. If it wasn’t for the wonderful instructors and classes I don’t think anyone would come to this gym

Smeet Shah

This is a great place to play and its completely free (for i know) Its for all ages and all fun activities.

Prince Fontanilla

Favorite recreation center of yours truly! Location is accessible with a considerable space for parking.

Majid Khodabandehloo

Very new and clean place. The only problem were the pool changerooms,which were very inconvenient because both genders change in one place! Convenient parking, a lot of waiting space with hi spee Wi-Fi. Indoor running track is great! Overall the best recreation Center Ive ever been to.

A Gee

Checked out the facilities on opening weekend and it was great. Nice pool, workout equipment and fitness classes, etc.

Lisa Barry

Love this place.Something to do for all ages and skill level

Mark Gao

The environment of exercise is excellent and patrons are nice and friendly.

Brayan Bueno

You have to pay nothing to use the space. Just comprove your address. They have gym, soccer, badminton, volleyball, swimming pool, basketball...and the staff is very kind and funny!

Eesta Amrady

Fun fun fun for everyone big free gym lots of great things to do .

Asha Log

Lots of fun things to do with your family.

Faisa ise Mohamoud

This is the worst place I have ever seen the lady at the reception had an attitude and very disrespectful. My friend drowned at the deep end and there was an Asian lady who was the lifeguard didn’t help her at all she was just watching. It was our first time me and my 3 other friends we were all disappointed by this

Gordon Wong

Great Facilities!

Mohsen Z

Nice and clean facility but the soccer class instructors keep changing all the time

Paul

Nice old school arena. Well maintained

Komie Mahesh

Lots of services I got to know when I registered my children in some services. It’s way discounted than private ones. Thank you.

cher young

very rude customer service, they don't pick up the phone, and when they do they are very impolite. Lazy to find out information! supervisor should get rid of those lazy, rude stuff.

Harish Kumar

This is an amazing facility for different activities. Neat, I well maintained and family friendly

B P

Terrible customer service over the phone. Rude, impatient and mumbling operator. Hope to have a better experience when I actually go in to facility.

diana Banner

Good program very clean friendly building

Trasa Bracken

Great place to work out and play sports and very helpful and friendly staff. Great at keeping all Covid protocols and checking.

Carol Landaverde

This place is wonderful. Fully accessible. Universal change rooms are large and located right by the pool. There are segregated Male/Female if you prefer but its a little ways from the pool and showers. Most programs are drop in but you need to be there half an hour to an hour before the group to ensure a space as its first come first served. Some programs require registration. The programs I was interested in were free not completely sure about all programs. Staff is friendly and helpful. Family friendly washrooms that are accessible.

Marta Baranetska

Brand new place, but a lot of people in the pool, no lines, everyone swim wherever they want. Staff is not nice

Taimoor Ahmad

The staff is very friendly, it's clean, looks modern, has public lockers and showers. Badminton on Sunday mornings is a diverse crowd.

Cristina Cunha

It is a new centre very clean and lots of things to do

Sylvia Henriques

Great, new and clean space. Staff is helpful and programs are free. Drop-ins are great and monthly updated calendars are always available.

David Kline

Great safe clean setup for covid testing, can't wait to try the pool.

Cavan Thornton

For being a mostly free facility its a pretty great one. You do have to sign up to use the cardio equipment which is understandable as there are only about 5. It has 2 elliptical, 1 rowing machine and a smith machine. It doesn't have any barbells. You will need to use the smith machine to do anything that requires a barbell. It has a small area for weights, this gym is mostly for a quick work out or if money is a reason why you cant sign up at a gym. It's clean and so far the staff have been pretty nice. There isn't too much parking and currently it can take some time getting in and out because of the construction. The biggest plus to this facility is that it is free to use the gym so you can't really complain about it. I would recommend it to a friend.

Bob Clarke

Beautiful and clean. Wish the gym area was bigger

oalvares

Nice space for fitness

jack miata

Great place to exercise kind of busy sometimes but I guess that's the all idea of a recreation center. By the way the people that work there are very friendly and professional.

Michelle Green

Great rec center. Missing right now due to this pandemic outbreak. Big and clean change rooms. Wheelchair accessible. Olympic size pool. We enjoy it tremendously in the summer especially.

Alma Mitchell

The amenities are great and the overall environment is wonderful. You can always do something with the family, go swimming and exercise upstairs. Plus not mention the awesome classes, they it got from bootcamp to yoga class it's a real treasure to have in the York/North york area and the staff are golden some the best people you'll ever meet genuine good people. If you haven't been there yet you don't know what you missing! It's a place that will warm your heart like a cooked meal!

vik56in

One of the best pools in GTA. Awesome facilities, the shower and the lockers are right next to the pool.

Will Dos Santos

This place is finally opened... sort of. There was a soft opening for the Family day long weekend. I was a little disappointed that they didn't put up any bike rings so I had to park my bike to a flimsy pole in the mud but the staff assured me they would be adding bike parking. The facility itself is stunning, even though it isn't fully finished. Describing it won't do any justice so I suggest checking it out for yourself. The gorgeous pavilion style architecture and design is a perfect welcome to the stunning pool, gym, weights, walking track and a ton of flexible space for kids and adults alike.

Daniel Hu

It is eco friendly and the staff there are so kind and can make anyone smile at any time

Ture Vibes

Nice community center with lots of activities for children and adults. Facilitiy is not very clean and I have never seen a cleaner at the facility, maybe they only clean at night. The one thing I dislike about this facility is the fact the the change room for the pool is open to male and female it does not make you feel good knowing that you have to hide to undress after a swim, but over all great place.

Claudeen Brown

Beautiful space.Accomodatig even those in wheelchair.The girls had a good time walking the inside tracks.

Thanh Dinh

New. Swimming pool. Medium gym. Free parking. Easy access.

Barbara Thomas

The staff are respectful, courtious, and most of all the place is very clean

Scarlett Bui

Staffs are friendly and facility is fairly new and well maintained, except change room lockers are not reliable. Banh mi cafe is nearby, great spot for breakfast and lunch after a swim. Close to highways, groceries and bus stop.

Jos Y

This place is okay Though the weight room is full of old and clueless people who use the machines utterly wrong or just sit on the machines without doing anything And theres a waiting list to use the cardio equipment For a free gym you can't complain

Ale B

Pool is spacious and clean. I like the unisex change rooms. There is plenty of lockers available (bring your own lock). Many programs offered for free and in drop in basis. Very happy to live in the vicinity and to have access to this new community centre (opened April 2017). Kids have enjoyed the drop in kiddie gym and the leisure swim). Change tables are located in the accessible washroom, though none in the accessible stall in the regular washrooms. Building is accessible. Overflow parking available.

Tabitha Goldingay

I only found out about this place a couple months ago while looking for swimming lessons for my daughter. I'm not disappointed! So far, we have only used their facilities for swimming, we are a water bug kind of family. They have a Tot pool and a larger pool with a shallow end and a deep end. The staff here are so friendly and easy to talk too. They do not allow photos to be taken during swimming which honestly Im so happy about. They have a large gym area, on the bottom it looks like they use it for the kids to play basketball or any kind of sport they are hosting at that time, on top they have a gym with a track for workouts. Check out the Toronto F.U.N and search York Recreation Centre. This facility is very clean, it looks as though they clean as often as possible. There is parking available as well.

Filomena Posata

This facility has many amenities, but how accessible is this facility really? Considering there are NO adult change tables for those who need it. What is the point of having great features like, accessible change rooms, lift, and an aquatic wheelchair etc. After the fun is over where can one change? NO WHERE! Clearly there wasn't much thought put into this facility. Great attempt at inclusion...

Ayan Abdinassir

The lady at the reception was very rude and I drowned at the deep end there was an asian lady she was the lifeguard and she didn’t help at all she was just watching me but thanks to God i was helped by a follow swimmer

Jose R

The best place where you can work out for free!

Lex Spilka

The employees are fantastic. Friendly and polite and helpful. The kids love coming here. It's clean and lots to do.

Berat Elmas

Great Facility. It's fee for the people in Toronto. Payment required for the people out of Toronto.

Dale Weber

Excellent facility , could use more exercise equipment

Sewpaul Ramsahoye

It is new, clean, hospitable. We have the full works. Swimming pools, basketball, volleyball, dancing, indoor tracks. And so much more. I give it a five star bless up, it the best thing that can happen for the youths in our community bless up

Catia “Catia” Bianchini

the best thing that has come to our community in YORK. as long as you are a resident of Toronto. Pool, gym, fitness gym, classes and sports. Clean.

hanz Hanching

The owner of york recreation centre is so rude to my child during summer camp. My child never even did anything but the owner still got mad. He was just talking to his friends and playing, but he just shows up for no reason and got mad at him. He was so upset when he got home and we couldn't stop him from crying.

Desire faith Believe

Nice place but the front desk people are really awful! So much negative energy and negative behavior! Asking them will get you killed with theirs unethical and unprofessional treatments. They are not helpful at all! The last time I took my kids was around end of August. The reason being was the front girl when I asked her to tell me about the detail of the program for kids under 4 she just went on me as, I have done something wrong. She told me the newspaper for was not out but when I asked if she can offer some recommendations she treated me like garbage . I went after 2 montys because I was disgust ed after what happwn. Again today the same unethical service 3 peiple gossip about a mother who had two children's .

Mohammad Rahman

The pool is great. The gym is lacking equipment but since it's free, I can't complain.

Han E

It’s huge and it’s a bright, open area. The gym stinks though lol

Krystyne Harpula

Great drop in programs and very clean and friendly facility

John Baldeviso

I lost my key tag 6 months ago. Would I still be able to get a new one?

Jess Milne

Big, beautiful and brand new. Very busy but also very clean facility. Staff are helpful. Lots of parking.

Beka B

Not a lot of cardio machines and in the morning it is about a 30 minute wait to get on one machine. Staff for the most part is very organized with getting people on efficiently. Facilities is very clean, and bright.

Luis Migueles

Very good

Maggie L.

Fantastic place. Completely accessible! Nice pool! People very friendly and accommodating. Very clean.

Catherine Camelo

Love the place!! Lots of activities! And staff is very friendly!

Zewdu Gebre-Hiwet

It is a complete recreation centre. My appreciation to Toronto City Council. It will go a long way in keeping the public healthy especially in the winter months because of the availability of all sorts of activities. Such recreation centres should be built all over the city.

Amy Perez

It was great my Kids love coming there...

Trevor Bowie

So I don't think a lot of people will have this issue but, this WILL pertain to you if you don't live in Toronto. I want to sign up at this place because it's a decent centre with the basics you need for working out (plus the track is a seller for me). If you live in Toronto it's free, anywhere else you have to pay (this is fine for me). What isn't fine is that when I called the gentleman working the desk was unsure of the pricing but thought it might be $75 a month. He told me to call in the morning, I called and was told $85 dollars for the year! I double checked with the lady who told me that. So I go there and now I am told it's $85 for 3 months and that's the longest they have. I called this morning to double check and they confirmed $85 for 3 months. I don't know but, it feels like I got the run around and I might not sign up here.

Phil

I have tried to take my toddler here to play in their gym between 9:30 and 11 and it never pans out. You have to show up about 30 minutes before 9:30 just to actually get in and good luck keeping your toddler in a lineup. And the workers don't even get the gym ready till 9:40.. Its a waste of time

Josue L

Great staff, great installations and pretty nice place

Krystyna Lozinska

I always go there. I like this place for many reasons 1. It's never too crowded 2. Big variety of programs 3. Clean swimming pools

Melissa

Enjoyed the event, my niece was involved in

Marie Reece

Love this new building and the classes offered here. I am so impressed with all the classes that are offered by the city for free. The place feels modern and has a great community feel. Open and inclusive is the message.

Great place, nice pool area and quality gym all for free with good hours.

Lane swimming here is total pandemonium. Because it's free, does that mean no rules/consideration/respect apply? If you're used to any kind of organization, don't even bother - it's every man for himself, and "lane" is a poor choice of activity explanation.

Amazing facility with great drop in programs. Get there early as they fill up fast. Everything is also free. Great place to exercise with the kids. Lots of free parking too!

Awesome place to workout, swim, interact and relax! They have an indoor track with three lanes for walking, jogging and running. They have a basketball court. Offer many exercise classes. Check them out. Perk: free if you live in Toronto!
