Fantastic experience: Saw a guy inclining 405 for reps and I was like WOW until he started throwing it in the air I went up and asked if he's natty and he started getting all agressive then he sold me some Trenbolone and Rad 140

Andy Rodgers 6 months ago

Clarissa 6 months ago

Positive experience: Most of the staff are very friendly, except for this one man that works in the workout gym. He is a bald man that I noticed likes to always negotiate with people if he doesn’t see a wristband on them, until they show him that they have a card pass, OR he always sees what other people are doing and I feel judged. Overall the place is very clean and the receptionists are very kind.

Jimmy Svex 8 months ago

Negative experience: We had a great swim instructor Zac, for our 10month old baby girl, some lady took over and was bragging about getting him fired. Very unprofessional, Zac was doing a great job and getting better every lesson! We miss you Zac, this new lady seems very mean to speak about a collegue this way

That Guy 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: Easily one of the cleanest pools in the city. No hottub but it's brand new basically

RENE 8 months ago

Negative experience: This is my second year of paying monthly membership for the household. A deal breaker for me are group classes, which are less and less for the afternoon, and when they are sometimes are cancelled. For a period I enjoyed going here, but not anymore. Thinking to look in the neighborhood for an alternative. the money we pay no longer justifies their lack of personnel and organization for the afternoon classes.

Fantastic experience: Went to Richcraft today to try out the 1:00 PM Aqua fit class. I'm a senior. I'm overweight. I have disc issues. I'm self-conscious. I knew this type of class would be good got me, but l've been procrastinating. Today, l just went for it. Got on my suit showed up for the class...showed up for myself. The reception staff were friendly (loaned me a padlock). The chane room was spacious and super clean. The water was the perfect temperature. The crowd was friendly. The instructor was fabulous. I found myself running in the water (haven't run for well over a decade). The music was aerobic beat Christmas music. I gravitated to another large lady who was singing along to the music and joined her. I came out happily exhausted. I'll be back...

Sidra Uditha 1 year ago

Negative experience: This place is pure racist. Only the priveledged are welcomed here. First day of swim class for my 1 year old it was all ok to take pictures and was told without asking that I am allowed to take pictures of my child as long as trainers n other children are not in the picture. Which i have 100% respected as i dont care to take pictures of any other person here. Second class n the man comes and tells me i can no longer take pictures or even be around for the sessions. I didnt create any disturbance for the class n he came n spoke so disrespectfully and ruined the class for my child and for us first time parents. He embarassed us in front of all other parents. Worst place to bring your young children because only people welcomed here are priviledged ones. All based on skin color.

Deborah Oliver 1 year ago

Blake Edwards 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: What a great place to play volleyball! Top quality hardwood floors, tight nets with antennae, 3m high windows, plenty of space around the courts to serve and leave your gear. Decent parking.

Monique Mainville 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: This is a newish rec complex - pool and gym facilities abound indoors; splash pad, play structure, volleyball courts, skateboard park are nice outside. We've been a few times for kids parties which are also a hit with the gym setup and staffed to help the kids. The activity rooms also have access to a shared full kitchen. What makes me smile here are the fox statues in the entry area. Lots of parking.

Alexander Polly 1 year ago

Positive experience: The pool itself was clean and well-maintained, with plenty of space for swimming. The water temperature was a bit cold. The staff were friendly and helpful, and I felt safe and secure with the lifeguards on duty. The changing rooms and shower facilities were also clean.

Melanie Vermeersch 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Staff are always available and courteous. The facilities are top notch and there is flexibility for start times for the lane swimming. Lifeguards there do very well managing swim etiquette for visitors as well. Staffing limitations may mean that on occasion they keep the sauna closed, fyi. The private showers can get busy fast though.

C Bissonnette 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Great facility with a modern look, good amenities in fine shape, and lots of programs and courses. I wish that they'd be more stringent about getting people to take outdoor shoes off around the pool deck, though. It can get dingy and dirty.

Janet M W 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Wow, what a fantastic place, with great amenities for every age. We used the pools and sauna. For rec swim they even had one fitness lane available... plus I love the thoughtful warmer water for the babies/kids' pool because tired parents of young kids can just stay there, comfortably. For teens, there was the challenge of the diving board, water basketball hoop, and big float toys. Wheelchair pool ramp beautiful! The sauna was big enough to seat 25 people. The life guards were also amazing. There were plenty of them, equipped with life saving gear, and they were all scanning their areas carefully.

Dalia Hijjawi 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend this facility. The staff are all professional from the office to the swimming team that we have experienced. also I want to especially highlight a member at the swimming team named Abdulla and his colleagues at the swimming team! They did a wonderful job, incredibly professional, attentive, proms, and friendly. They helped making a great experience for the kids and yet parents. a seamless and smooth one. Signed very happy parents. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: Richcraft RC is one of the best facilities of this kind in Ottawa. It is relatively new, well maintained and very well equipped. It has something for everyone, from indoor swimming pools to a fitness and cardio centre, from two full gyms to several community rooms. Outside, there is a very decent artificial turf soccer field, two beach volleyball sand courts, a skateboard park, and a children’s play area with great play structures and an amazing splash pad. The complex backs into the Trillium Woods Park, and there is lots of wildlife around.
