Trent University Athletic Centre

Positive experience: Good gym but the sauna smells like old socks

Positive experience: Overall, pretty good equipment variety and clean facilities. However, gym is busy as is with students, but it’s irritating the level of busy-ness it gets since it is open to the public. Students shouldn’t be forced to pay for the Student Athletic Fee and should be allowed to opt-out considering how busy the gym is always. They also take way too long to repair broken equipment.

Negative experience: Unfortunately it's not the same anymore. Parking is always full, there is not enough equipment either. There are only one pair of weights so you have to wait so long for your turn. Staff frequently lock the session rooms and you're not allowed to use those for one reason or the other. The facilities are not enough of Trent students, so I won't recommend taking a membership if you are not studying here. It would be more beneficial to look for other options. I would be looking elsewhere for future.

Positive experience: Decent

Fantastic experience: Amazing facility, great staff!

Fantastic experience: Great, modern gym

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this place !!!

Fantastic experience: Great coaching at volleyball group my daughter participated in.

Fantastic experience: It's a very well equipped athletic centre. Got everything you could ever need to keep fitn

Negative experience: You deserve 0 stars. The place is packed with students. If you’re a member of the community it’s not worth the cheap membership to wait in lines for equipment. The session rooms are always interrupted with staff. What a joke. Stick to students not people from the public. Parking is always full as well.

Fantastic experience: Great place to go for a gym. Sports like basketball, squash, and rowing are also available. Great crowd and employees. The place is neat and clean. It is also very well maintained.

Positive experience: It's okay, they have most equipment in the gym but the layout is terrible. Once there's more than 5-6 people in the workout gym it feels cramped

Positive experience: Would have got a 5 but no one in weights area of gym wearing masks

Positive experience: Pretty solid gym. Friendly staff and good machines. Its a but small but at the right times it's good enough

Fantastic experience: Super nice facilities!

Fantastic experience: Dope

Positive experience: Good facilities. Having the cardio area look over the gym and rock climbing wall area is a really nice touch. Nothing bad to say about the overall layout of the place, except for when it gets busy. When it's busy because of the limited size of all areas it can feel a little overwhelming and claustrophobic. The one gripe I have is with the gym itself, and that is regarding the machines. Unfortunately because of the limited size of the area, there's only one hamstring curl machine, for example. When this machine is out of service, there's evidently no other machine and all one can do is wait until it is fixed. That machine specifically has been 'out of service' for almost 4 weeks now, at least. Other machines have started to be 'out of service' now, never mind the ones that have been for months already now. With the space being busy as it is for each session, there has to be emphasis on fixing these machines in a respectable time frame. Seemingly it is as though when one machine is slightly messed up or completely off kilter, its slapped with an 'out of service' sticker and nothing happens.

Fantastic experience: Staff is helpful, professional, and knowledgeable. Very well sanitized. Can't wait for the sauna to open.

Fantastic experience: decent gym, good vibes

Positive experience: Great facilities

Positive experience: Great swim lesson instructors

Positive experience: Busy place and the equipment needs some upgrading but the view when running on the treadmill and watching the river is amazing

Negative experience: I understand that the therapy pool is closed Do u not plan to reopen it? Doesnt everyone deserve access?

Fantastic experience: Great athletic centre with every kind of facilities

Fantastic experience: Efficient and spacious

Fantastic experience: Perfect gym with all the equipments

Fantastic experience: Lots of equipment. Clean and the staff are courteous.

Fantastic experience: Safe environment with a great variety of equipment!

Fantastic experience: Amazing~~

Fantastic experience: It was awesome my grandson was fighting there.

Fantastic experience: Great workout

Positive experience: Great facility. Lots of scheduled and free activities. Clean. My only qualm would be that the Physio and Massage department relies a bit to much on phone calls even though they have on-line booking.

Positive experience: It's convenient for university students, but it's been extremely busy the past few months. Often the machines will all be busy, especially the cardio machines upstairs so you have wait or pick something else. Simply not enough available for the busy times. The space upstairs is poorly organized for dynamic workouts as well. However, it's great when it's quiet. No complaints about cleanliness, and the classes are great as well.

Positive experience: very roomy and good place

Positive experience: Clean, bright, good equipment

Negative experience: The pool lifeguards are incompetent. They regularly turn their backs to the pool when guarding. The supervisors don't seem to care as they have their guards do pool tests and run the rope swing while also "guarding". Today there were 27 people in the pool and the one guard on duty was full on talking to his friend with his back turned to the pool. Would not recommend weaker swimmers come to this pool.

Positive experience: They used to have long swim time for kids. Now pool is constantly crowded with lane swims and lessons. Loved coming here for the Tarzan swing and diving board but running out of options

Positive experience: Good facility with a 25m pool, 2 storey workout gym with a rock climbing wall, multiple yoga studios, squash/racquetball courts and a basketball court with upstairs viewing for both the latter two. Membership is a fair price and the staff is largely comprised of friendly students.

Fantastic experience: Great facilities and wonderful people. They have a very good family membership rate. Our family spends a lot of time here. :)

Fantastic experience: Good size for the student body, very spacious change rooms, plenty of big windows and a great view of the river.

Fantastic experience: Clean. Has ample room, good quality equipment and additional services eg. Wall climbing.

Fantastic experience: Great facilities. Always clean and staff are helpful. Just wish parking was free.

Fantastic experience: Trent in motion is excellent physio therapy. Dr Dobson is highly professional, efficient, courteous and kind.

Fantastic experience: Great place. Clean, friendly staff and lots of facilities (rock Climbing wall, squash courts etc).

Fantastic experience: Wow, wish I rowed. We were there for volleyball would have loved a go in the pool! Really amazing facilities!

Positive experience: Probably not the best gym for swimmers (who aren't in a club). Mixed feelings. It's a lovely facility in a beautiful location, and has friendly staff. The pool is well-maintained and kept at a beautiful temperature for swimming. My locker rental is a reasonable price. On the flip side, the pool is so rented-out that lane swim offerings in the early morning and evening hours are pretty scarce - members are lucky to have access to three lanes for 90 minutes or less four nights of the week, and share the pool with public swims. The morning lane swim is from 7:30 to 9:00, which isn't great if you don't work or study at Trent. Trent's my alma mater and I love it there but after seeing the swim options reduce over the last year or two, I'm not so sure it's the right gym for me.
