Fantastic experience: Classes are awesome and coffee time afterwards is a good way to get to know our neighbours.

Lakeshore Recreation

Thank you for the review Lori. We are so excited to be open again and see all of our members come back. We're very fortunate to have so many great instructors to be able to offer such a variety of classes. The coffee after class is always a great time to socialize with friends and meet some new people.

Fantastic experience: Pickleball extraordinaire!!

Lakeshore Recreation

Thanks Dean, it was definitely a beautiful day to be outside playing pickleball. I hope you got to play on one of the courts we just re-surfaced. We are really proud of our 8 courts and thankful for so many wonderful volunteers who promote this game at Lakeshore Recreation.

Negative experience: So just had horrible experience at this place have been going here for a while loved it mainly cause as a single parent they let me bring my son in no problem they've even invited him to yoga . Well today this lady who said it's her frist day decided it was a problem wanted me to sign a waiver for him and then proceed to tell me that's how it's always been. Am upset will be calling to speak to someone tomorrow.

Lakeshore Recreation

Thank you for the review. We are glad you enjoyed one of our yoga classes after your workout. The hot tub would've definitely helped you relax. We hope you come back again soon to enjoy all of the changes and upgrades we've made since reopening. Perhaps add in the sauna next time?

Optimum 2 years ago

Positive experience: Great gym, can get a little busy some times, but the staff are nice and anyone is willing to help if you ask

Lakeshore Recreation

Thank you for the review. Yes, we definitely have times during the day that are busier than others. The two new rooms we've added have been a great addition so people can spread out a little bit more if they prefer to be away from the more active areas. We have a wonderful staff who we consider our 'Lakeshore Family' and appreciate your comments about them. Thanks for continuing to support us during this time, it's been a challenging few years for everyone.

Fantastic experience: Sauna, and locker room facilities are second to none in the area.

Lakeshore Recreation

Thank you for your review. The new Infared sauna is so relaxing. We have spent a lot of time over the course of the last few years and 'COVID closures' to update our whole facility including the change rooms. We're so glad you like it.

Fantastic experience: Simply the best!! Lakeshore Recreation has always gone above and beyond, but especially in these times of Covid. They put every membership on hold. In the past, they have offered up their class space as a safe walking alternative to anyone in the community during the winter. Ann, Gordie and the entire staff have worked tirelessly to update the gym and make it as safe as possible to allow us to continue staying active. Everyone who works there is so down to earth and are always supportive and positive. It’s time we support them! Let’s rally as a community to do anything we can after last nights storm and the devastation Lakeshore has experienced.

Lakeshore Recreation

Thank you for your review. We were so excited to open after such a long shutdown. We've missed seeing everyone. This storm has been quite a setback, not only for our staff and members but the whole community.

Love all the classes. Staff is amazing. Thanks for working so hard during COVID for all the updates and for keeping us safe.

Lakeshore Recreation

Thank you for your review. It's been a challenging time but we are doing what we can to ensure the facility is safe and better than ever for our members and staff.

Bruce C 4 years ago

Negative experience: I’ve always been a little bit jaded paying for my membership at lakeshore rec. The facilities are outdated and grimy for the premium rates they charge. They are aware that they have monopoly on the gym industry in port so it seems like they put 0 effort into buying new weights/equipment. Covid19 brought some challenges to this industry no doubt, but I am not happy with their changes to the hours. I bought my membership thinking I could work out on weekends and now they just put an end to that. If I payed for 7 days a week I somewhat expect that. I hope they have regular hours established before they unpause everyone’s memberships, because that would be downright shady. The only positive about this place is that the staff is always friendly. Fingers crossed a new gym opens up so I can workout on some descent equipment.

Lakeshore Recreation

Thank you for your review Bruce. We've spent the last 1 1/2 years (while closed for COVID) updating and renovating the facility. During that time all memberships were put on hold. Our hours have been updated on our website. We are very proud of the work that's been done and look forward to having you come and look at all of the changes.

Man S 4 years ago

Positive experience: Great gym, but the hours are terrible for shift workers. Locker rooms are dated.

Lakeshore Recreation

Thanks for your review. Our whole facility, including the locker rooms have recently been renovated including a new infra-red sauna. Check out our website for the new hours.

Steve 5 years ago

Positive experience: Not a bad place to exercise but the equipment is dated and so is the gym. Not worth the price but there are not many competitors in Port Elgin.

Lakeshore Recreation

Thanks for your reply. Since being closed due to COVID, we've completely renovated and upgraded the whole facility. Come and take a look next time you're in the area.
