Peterborough Sport & Wellness Centre

Positive experience: Good atmosphere, lots of parking spaces, kids friendly, maintained equipment, Overall experience was good ( my experience chart Nice

Negative experience: packed with foreign students who clearly aren't working out.. they walk the track, hang out at the side lines and view my wife and kids while they attend.. why do three 25yr old males need to use the gender inclusive changeroom.? if it weren't for the private programming that lease the space, i'd not be coming back.. certainly won't be sending my girls there alone anymore.

Negative experience: For short term use this place is good. But if you are a citizen of Peterborough and use the place on a regular basis it's all gone down hill. Roof paint peeling and yes it has hit me in the face. (Brought to the attention of person in charge of the weight room in 2017). The weights are constantly out of place or missing.70 percent of the benches are cracked, or broken, flooring in certain areas have huge gaps in the rubber( Was never installed properly, once again brought to the attention to the same person in charge of the weight area). I honestly don’t know how my taxes and fee's pay for this. I am a person with patience but the final straw to write this, as I cut myself on one of the cracked benches. The city of Peterborough should be ashamed. Go to any neighbouring city and places are bigger and better taken care of. The reason for the two stars are for the front staff I interact with on a daily basis face to face that are amazing. But when it comes to scheduling of activities, and the weight area it is all frugal. The City of Peterborough should be ashamed to call this a “ premier facility”. I will still go here since of the convenience. Update: Took 5 years but they seem to have corrected the dumbbell issues. My assumption is they read the review. Now let’s keep hope that they fix the floor and benches soon, before another person injures themselves. Update now it’s down to 1 star

Fantastic experience: I love the ball fields at the wellness center! Very well kept and clean

Fantastic experience: Wanna be healthy visit PSW center. Just check the schedules of activities for there are changes every now and then due to many activities going on.

Fantastic experience:

Negative experience: Almost double the price of the Trent Wellness centre for a day pass and they lack Concept 2 rowing ergometers. Instead they have an off brand water resistance rowing machines.

Fantastic experience: Love their spiritually focused training myself and my partner will look into classes to take together. -Sarah

Fantastic experience: Everything at one place, modern equipment and With almost all facilities

Positive experience: We use the pool at this centre for kids swimming lessons. The location is kept clean and has a nice viewing area for parents. A big drawback is how they have their entrance and key cards set up. They have the cards only valid for entrance, when the parent leaves and comes back they have to request to get back in, along with a line up of ppl at the desk. I assume this is to stop people from misusing the gym/pool. I feel as though they need a seperate scanned entrance for the gym key cards that would have time limitations, or extend the cards access for the length of the lesson. Currently the kids pool access can get irritating.

Fantastic experience: Great staff and every thing is well maintained

Fantastic experience: Lots of weights and machines at the right time of day, kids love the swimming and classes

Negative experience: Booked a birthday party, won't do that again and won't recommend to anyone. They completely overbooked, the pool was packed and the lifeguard told us our group had to wait, when we were only allotted 1 hour for swimming. We got in the pool for maybe 20 mins tops. The girl that was supposed to be helping was overwhelmed with 2 other parties, one of which had 80 people. Our party room was also a daycare room, which we weren't told, it was very small and we had hardly any space. Toys everywhere. Overall, our son's birthday felt like an afterthought. Not worth the money and left feeling very disappointed and sad for both my child and our guests. If you want to go swimming for a party, choose the YMCA.

Fantastic experience: This provides a wide selection of indoor sports and gym equipment to suit a variety of fitness interests. Members have many of options to choose from, so they may work out and do different things to suit their tastes. The facility's appeal is further enhanced by the addition of a swimming pool, which offers a chance for leisure and fitness in the water.

Positive experience: lots of things to do (gym, swimming , basketball, volleyball,dodgeball, yoga, karate and all sorts of stuff) but the schedule is so off for many imo 3/5 The gym is actually packed, full of students from Fleming & outsiders as well ig 2/5 The staff are friendly & helpful. However some of them are questionable 3/5 clean & well sanitised, changing room (not the best) 3/5 +1 energy drink from vending machines +1 there's a sauna/ hot steam thing

Fantastic experience: Easy to understand gym with a pool & clean change rooms

Positive experience: Went for the pool, open at certain hours to the public, weightroom was small and cramped with only one of each machine or exercise.

Positive experience: Very friendly and efficient staff. Objectively not great equipment, but they make up for it with variety. 10/10 of the organization and gym floor layout. Lots of room to move from machine to machine.

Positive experience: Great pickleball courts

Fantastic experience: Great swimming experience with drop in sessions .

Fantastic experience: Atmosphere is good, area is Clean and well maintained.

Fantastic experience: My son and I adore the Wellness Centre! The staff are phenomenal, a big shout out to Judo Instructor Sensei Paul and Swimming instructor Jocelyn! Thank you for being so wonderful and patient with the children while they learn new skills!

Fantastic experience: Nice place to play and relax

Negative experience: Kids dance instructor doesnt show up more then half the time

Positive experience: Nice facility, has a pool.

Positive experience: Friendly staff, clean premises. Not overly crowded. Good selection of fitness equipment.

Positive experience: Accessible and affordable fitness center in Peterborough. I did a drop-in session at the gym, and they also offer drop-in swims but be sure to check the schedule. Spacious and clean. Equipment is ~15 years old.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love it there!

Fantastic experience: My first visit and everything was good.

Fantastic experience: Great place to go for a family swim ‍♀️

Fantastic experience: Attended the Peterborough Seniors Showcase event. Well done!

Positive experience: Clean, friendly staff, great pool

Fantastic experience: Great, has everything you need. Pool is great too.

Fantastic experience: It is a good one..free for students of Fleming for 3 months.

Positive experience: Sports Camp was terrific. The signage for the camp was non-existent, so finding the camp access point was challenging.

Fantastic experience: A very nice, clean facility with loads of options and reasonably priced memberships.

Fantastic experience: The swim classes are great, and affordable. We don’t use any other facility other than the swim classes

Positive experience: Love this place just wish bathrooms were more updated and the gym equipment needs to be dusted and cleaned better.

Positive experience: Excellent facilities here. I mostly use it for the gymnasium and volleyball. Could be more space in the gymnasium itself on sidelines.

Fantastic experience: I participate in a gentle yoga aqua class once a week. I really enjoy it. Our instructor is fun and engaging.

Fantastic experience: Great place to workout. Gym, swim, dance or play, it's all here and the best part is that, it is the City of Peterborough's service for the wellness of the citizens.

Negative experience: I used to really enjoy coming here until the main gym started only running pickle ball, I respect everybody deserves to use the gym but it gets to a point where everytime I come here it is full pickle ball, other people are trying to use the basketball court too to play actual basketball!

Fantastic experience: Public place where you can swim 1 hour a day dipends from the day look the calendar online , have your lock with you . Membership cost 47 dollar for month ( swimming pool , Jim and possibility to book ather sport

Negative experience: Would like to report terrible customer service by the staff at the front desk at the Peterborough Wellness Centre, specifically the manager. Mar 18 2023 12:30 . Showed up early for fun swim with my wife and 2.5 year old to find a long line out the door. Manager came out to cut off the line right before us in line saying they were at capacity but we could put our name down and should be called soon as people left with about 20 mins. Waited in line patiently for close to an hour with a 2.5 year old before asking if we could go in as we noticed lots of swimmers leaving the facility and others walking right into the pool. Only to find that no one was tracking the numbers. Then when we along with other parents told them we witnessed at-least 15 swimmers have left, staff told us they were watching the numbers, which they weren’t. Only one staff was at the desk who was dealing with people signing up which would make tracking impossible. Then we see the manager we talked with earlier escort a large group of kids and adults ahead of all the families that have been waiting for an hour in front of us into the pool. When confronted she said the large group was a birthday party and they were accounted for in the capacity numbers. This after telling us that we were next in line and as soon as 3 people left we would be allowed in. When I confronted saying there was 15 people that left before she escorted the group ahead of us, she told us we were lying. She then cut me off saying she would talk to me somewhere else if I wanted as she didn’t want to talk about it in front of kids. We asked if there was any chance we are going to get into swim today, she wouldn't give an answer. I would be embarrassed if my employee acted in the unprofessional, disrespectful manner the manager at the facility did. I will never come back to this facility.

Fantastic experience: Used to go here for workouts a few years ago and now I go through the winter for Sunday morning oldtimers basketball. A very nice facility with good staff and clean conditions. Always being used but rarely crowded. Happy to take advantage of the facilities.

Positive experience: Beautiful swimming pool, 2 gyms, great customer service and help staff. Pickle ball was great fun and the washrooms were very clean. Would highly recommend this space for your workouts.

Positive experience: Common gym problems like lack of best machines and too many treadmills. But is only really busy from 6-7:30. Other than that really great... most of the ladys at front desk are illiterate. But the big gym guys that work there. Are over qualified. And impeccable

Fantastic experience: We visited the pool during the winter break. It was crowded but the kids had fun. There is a water slide and the water is kept at a good temperature, not too cold.

Negative experience: Worst gym I’ve have ever been too. Poorly designed with tiny free weight sections shoved in the corners. Bathrooms seemed to be always closed and the gym closes pretty early even on weekends. Place is fkn crowded

Fantastic experience: My girls & I always have a lot of fun in the pool under the watchful eyes of the lifeguards. 1st time were all able to go on the waterslide. Fun fun!

Negative experience: Without a doubt one of the most bizarre and incompletely run recreation facilities I've ever visited. If you want to pay for membership on a monthly basis, you're required to provide a blank cheque rather than the usual credit or debit card info, which is exceptionally invasive and unorthodox. Additionally, severe understaffing often results in 10+ minute waits to see a cashier and is just another frustrating idiosyncrasy of this facility that I've never encountered at any other similar place. On a positive note, the few staff working there are quite friendly and the gym equipment is new and in good condition.

Fantastic experience: Great indoor facility to spend some time playing basketball. The floor is well maintained to pair along with the 6 glass backboards and painted hardwood. lots of fun and good runs.

Fantastic experience: It is clean and open . The workers r amazing..helpful...polite. wheelchair accessible and walker accessible . Change rooms r clean . My first time there and can't wait to go back . I use to go elsewhere and got tired of not being able to swim half the time and other reasons ......so very very happy ..

Positive experience: A lot of the equipment seems to be rusting. Many of the customers using the equipment don't wipe down after use, and I noted someone simply wearing socks on the eliptical. The staff used to gently remind people about these issues as well as not wearing shoes into the changerooms...because customers don't read the signs, or simply ignore them. Now, anything goes...kinda gross folks!

Fantastic experience: Great place to take your kids swimming. On weekends they have a fun swim and they open the slide up for older kids and adults. My 3 year old has a blast with pool noodles. They have floaties and life jackets for kids

Fantastic experience: A clean and friendly place to work out!

Fantastic experience: Lots of options, good equipment and great staff.

Positive experience: Use the ball diamonds. They are ok. Not the best

Negative experience: Due to improper management 10 years ago I have not returned to the Peterborough sports and wellness center a employee stole my personal collection of rare hockey cards I found them on Ebay what a waste of time

Positive experience: Nice small gym, not a huge free weight area or lifting areas but works

Positive experience: Well maintained, equipped gym and pool. Staffs are friendly, enjoyed a lot.

Negative experience: Was very disappointed with how they approached waiting lists for swim lessons. I was told my son was 2nd on the list. They called during dinner time with information of another class opening up and a spot. In the 15 minutes it took me to return their call, they had filled up all the spots. That doesn't seem fair since we were 2nd on the wait list. Very disappointed mom and boy.

Positive experience: Sometimes it says there are drop-ins on the schedule but when you show up they say that that drop-in activity does not exist. when they run the drop ins according to schedule it is fun and works well but sometimes they forget about it. Good facilities and change rooms

Fantastic experience: I went there with my grand daughter Faith and my Pastor George and his wife beth and the rest of the family. Had a great time.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful pool

Fantastic experience: We love Ptbo Sport and Wellness Centre for the programs and activities offered for children. My son (4) has been registered in the Ninja Kids class with Sensei Paul and Sensei Georges and this class is amazing for teaching children the foundation of Judo. My son has made immense progress and both Paul and Georges are fantastic at instructing. My daughter (3) is registered in pre-ballet and I am thankful for the flexibility, patience and understanding the dance teacher, Julia demonstrates. The child minding is also a handy feature that the Wellness Centre offers. 10/10 for programs and activities offered!

Fantastic experience: Great staff, decent size therapy pool and good size regular pool. Can't wait for the waterslide to open back up again

Fantastic experience: Modern, clean, and friendly.

Fantastic experience: Great facility, clean, friendly staff excellent variety of classes and equipment.

Fantastic experience: I love the programs here, I love the look of the place, and love the staff. It's a great option for our community.

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience at this wellness centre. There were programs available for everyone. The staff are super nice and helpfull. I love the Sauna in the dressing room and the whole place was clean.

Fantastic experience: Had a wonderful time at the leasure swim this afternoon. The staff at the front counter were friendly and very helpful. There is also no shortage of gym equipment and its all in good condition which is a nice change from other gyms I've been to. Get yourself a membership, you won't regret it. You got this!

Fantastic experience: Love the fitness center, it's on the smaller side but has everything that larger gyms have. Usually not too busy, I've never had to wait for anything I wanted to use. I love that everyone gets their own towel and cleaning spray to wipe down machines, it makes much more sense than having everyone use the same spray bottle which is what every other gym does.

Fantastic experience: Pool, multiple gyms (courts), a fitness centre and a studio. Great spot and they offer family memberships. There is a therapy and larger pool with some great add-ons (a water slide and splash features). The large pool is smaller than an official Olympic size. The courts are excellent and offer badminton and volleyball sometimes, but you are also at the mercy of the Fleming Knights athletic schedule. The gym is pretty good. Lots of cardio and enough free weights to get the job done. The studio is large and offered fitness classes. There are also a fee rooms off the main hall that are used for martial arts and birthday parties. The staff are incredibly friendly and always very helpful. (NOTE-- there are no squash/racquetball courts)

Fantastic experience: Less crowd very well organized. I went to play badminton my son loved it.

Fantastic experience: We've been taking our little one here to use the pools and take swimming classes. I really appreciate the COVID protocols as you aren't wearing masks when you're in the pool. The pools are really well maintained and the instructors are competent. The change rooms are also kept fairly clean and are good for family use.

Positive experience: Friendly staff

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym i ever had

Positive experience: Excellent outdoors walking area for a masked and socially distanced meet with a good friend. Very clean and open.

Positive experience: It has all the basic equipments for fitness lovers and comes with a pool as well for a reasonable fee. There are other sports facilities as well in it which can be of interest.

Positive experience: Was okay to work out in and the swim was good.. unfortunately I didn't find the front end staff friendly when I asked a question for help on the machines..and the people at the end of the day that come in to check if you're still there aren't very friendly either with the way that they ask you to " remember that we're closing" Overall the swim is about the only thing I enjoyed for the $15 I paid for a day pass

Fantastic experience: They have a good size gym with a great pool, indoor dry sauna option and gyms. Definitely recommend it.

Fantastic experience: Ninja Kids Judo with Paul was awesome! My kids count down the days until their next Judo class. The building was clean, lots of available hand sanitizer. Not busy when we went in the evening.

Fantastic experience: They are doing a very good job of traking who is in the building and keeping equipment sanitized.

Fantastic experience: Great place, great equipment, good covid protocol. Also have the option to borrow equipment for sports

Fantastic experience: Very clean and well kept for covid restrictions well done everyone A+

Fantastic experience: Swimming lessons during covid. Class size was cut in half and there were very few people in the change rooms. Lots of safety in place and we felt very comfortable with our 3 year old, I was happy I made the choice to sign us up!

Fantastic experience: great service fun times in the pool and gym

Fantastic experience: Always very clean and reasonably quiet. It's never been crowded when I visited. All I could wish for is that the main pool was kept only about five degrees warmer, I found it too cold to enjoy.

Negative experience: Looks pretty empty now.

Positive experience: Pool is kept too cold. Most of us complain about it.

Fantastic experience: Great trainers ( Carleigh for me), facilities and pickleball.

Positive experience: The urinals here are have great chewing gum. These college kids'll spit it out before it even loses the flavour.

Negative experience: Just heard that my friends sister, cant use your pool because the accessible chair for those in wheelchairs has been broken for months and you don't plan to fix it This is unacceptable!!

Negative experience: The indian girl working there as a personal trainer is very mean and rude. She does'nt have any sense of talking. Spreads a NEGATIVE VIBE When she's around.My overall impression and experience of the gym became totally worst due to her. Recommend not to go there untill she's there

Positive experience: Great indoor recreational facility in the west end conveniently located on Brealey south of Lansdowne. Burn calories, have fun, go to camp or learn stuff.. it's all here. Organize parties or events if you need to. Well staffed and maintained. They have a large pool for member & public swims and a decent sized therapy pool as well. Swim lessons for all ages are available. Gym with a variety of equipment and an indoor track too. Plenty of programs offered, so check the Peterborough recreational and living well guide which gets published every so often. Free parking and a local transit bus connection from the facility is available. Fully accessible and washroom facilities are available.

Fantastic experience: Great for swimming reasonable price. $5 per person 15$ for a family of 5...and they have a water slide⁰

Fantastic experience: Great little gym with fantastic fitness classes!

Fantastic experience: Summer hours incorrect on google. Fitness floor only open: 5:30am-9:15pm (weekdays) 7:00am-6:45pm (weekends) Will go back to regular hours (5:30am-10:45pm) in September which is what is posted on google.

Fantastic experience: I take my little guy here swimming for parent/tot swimming. The water is very warm in the therapy pool. They have toys and floaties. It's always a fun time!
