University of Manitoba Recreation Services: Opinions
Positive experience: locker room space is a bit dark and limited.
Negative experience: Bad experience. I was playing badminton and it flied onto the roof and got stuck on the ceiling because there were pipes on there. I asked the guys who worked at the gym to see if they got anything could help me to get it down. They said that they currently had no access to the machine so it would be couple of months till they could actually get it down. Theses dude keep digging our money every term so we have to pay for the gym for mandatory and what I want is just to get my badminton back but they couldn't. What a brilliant idea of service!
Positive experience: A great gym. Thanks for their programs for adults and children.

Fantastic experience: It's a great place to workout and love all the facilities here. Just one feedback: can someone please update the Google page to reflect if it's open or not ? Sometimes on holidays google page says it's open but when we arrive it's closed. I know there is sign on the chalkboard or other banners but sometimes people don't go for a long period due to reasons and they can miss it

Hi B.L Cumberbatch. This is the business account for U of M Recreation Services which are responsible for adult instructional programs, gym membership, personal training, and other services. If you have a complaint regarding a professor I would recommend taking it to the Faculty of Kinesiology general office located at 102 Frank Kennedy Centre. Please consider removing your review as it is irrelevant to the services we offer and does not provide any value to potential customers.
Positive experience: It this gym free for U of M student ?

Positive experience: Really good gym. Has many equipment available and more than one per equipment. Has many activities available such as swimming, volleyball and a big track space.
