Northern Sport Centre

Positive experience: The northern sports centre has some of everything, but not a lot of anything. For strength training, there is a limited amount of equipment to use, and to make matters worse, some equipment is not useable at times due to exercise classes taking place. The staff at the northern sports centre are great and very helpful, and there are a variety of other facilities to use as well (ex. Running track, etc), and so for people that make use of the rest of the facilities it may be worthwhile.

Positive experience: Mostly disappointed there's only one single stall gender neutral bathroom and no gender neutral change rooms/showers. You'd think with it being a university gym, it'd be more progressive. The equipment rooms and the studio with punching bags are quite small, the building mostly centers around large open gyms for ball sports.

Negative experience: Weights rooms are small and can often be crowded.

Fantastic experience: Great place to workout, huge variety of equipment. Love the track! And friendly staff :)

Negative experience: Not professional! Everytime I have to sign again and again to renew the membership. Didn’t like their service. They don’t know what they are doing. May be it’s just us but annoying.

Negative experience: If you are looking to seriously just go and do your workout this is the worst place, it is the most overcrowded gym in PG, lots of teenagers groups texting, chatting and taking ownership of a machine for 40 minutes, not to mention that you will be doing loops and driving around for 20 minutes before you find a parking spot. Didn’t have the best experience. Staff is not trained, always have new staff and they’re not friendly or helpful. Hygiene is bad, the cleaning stations could have an empty bottle for hours or the paper towel could be empty for hours before an staff member goes and replace it to the point that I’ve had to call the front desk and ask them to replace so I can wipe the machine. Due to all these I canceled my membership and got charged for a full month after I gave notice of canceling my membership and they won’t refund or respond to my emails. Wouldn’t recommend at all.

Fantastic experience: Pretty good gym among BC universities

Positive experience: Nice sports center located at university. Helpful staff and lots of space for various services.

Negative experience: Lot security police the parking lot HARD! I was barely parked before two of them were looking for proof of payment for parking. They must experience terrible vandalism in this underutilized parking lot. Not even half full at 8am. After getting my gym bag together I was approached again with more information about pay codes and temporary parking passes. Not the most comfortable feeling knowing I am being watched and policed here. I can only presume there have been terrible things happening in the rec centre parking lot. Also, 13 dollars to use the fitness room. Most expensive rec centre I have visited in BC during this summer of travelling. Astounding.

Fantastic experience: The best physio department in Prince George!!!

Fantastic experience: Awesome centre! They have a proper water bottle spout now!

Fantastic experience: My favorite gym in Prince george

Fantastic experience: Great facility for the Prince George and all of the North! I like walking at the track!

Fantastic experience: Really like this gym! Front staff are friendly and it’s super cheap for healthcare students which is a bonus. Has multiple areas so you can find a spot that isn’t too crowded. Has everything you need, but doesn’t have every weight training machine in the world. Track is great if you’re a runner. Would be nice if you didn’t have to pay for parking though.

Fantastic experience: Lot of good sporting things to wish for

Fantastic experience: Good equipment/space for excersise

Fantastic experience: Anything you could want. Friendly and helpful staff.

Fantastic experience: One of the top options in the city for indoor workouts. The track is the main draw in my mind, but there's also a ton of cardio options, scheduled classes, as well as the usual weight rooms. The juice bar is a nice addition

Fantastic experience: Best gym in town !

Fantastic experience: Got some "Col juice" from here that was amazing.

Fantastic experience: Good place to work out

Fantastic experience: It is the best place to work out in pg.

Positive experience: Best gym in Prince George. Would have been excellent if they had a swimming pool there.

Positive experience: Indoor track is great. Outer lane is 280m. Plenty of weights, bikes and treamills upstairs. Lower level weight room does get quite busy at peak hours and tight for space.

Positive experience: This facility is great, but they need to keep the bathrooms on the field levels unlocked as we our athletes running up a flight of stairs to use the restrooms. A few our kids almost had accidents. Other than that, friendly staff as always! Our kids love it there!

Fantastic experience: I love all the different classes they offer. And the instructors are amazing

Fantastic experience: Great place. Especially the track

Fantastic experience: Variety of activities offered

Positive experience: Loads of facilities and very helpful staff. Locker room "system" feels very institutional.

Positive experience: The indoor track is really nice but it is expensive.

Positive experience: Pay parking and out of the way. Gyms are seperated making you walk back and forth. Little costly. Nice to have an indoor track, running on the outside though so a little weird.

Fantastic experience: I've been working out here for just over the past year and I have nothing but good things to say about the place. There are tons of machines which are all new, clean and maintained well. The staff are super friendly and helpful. Plus they're tons of classes offered free with a membership. Only negative thing about the place is the mediocre older water fountains.

Fantastic experience: Great facilities and friendly staff. Can't ask for more!

Fantastic experience: Awesome

Fantastic experience: Always loved being able to just walk in anytime during school and spend time at this gym. The top track is a bit small and you run around it to fast but there are good basketball courts, weight rooms and much more. I personally loved going to the spin classes in the mornings! The instructors are great and really keep you motivated during the morning workouts. If your thinking of heading to UNBC its a great gym within a couple minute walk to the school and residence and its very cheap for a student (like a one time payment of $10).

Fantastic experience: I used the Sports Centre quite a bit as a student. Nice facility, large, great indoor fields. They offer a wide variety of classes too.

Fantastic experience: Great facility. Cappy parking
