Buell Fitness and Aquatic Centre: Opinions
Positive experience: Not the best gym i've visited on a base, but definitely up there. I would say it is probably the 4th nicest gym i've seen across every base i've been to.
Fantastic experience: Helpful staff and lots of equipment
Fantastic experience: Amazing gym and programming at an affordable rate for civilians.
Positive experience: Great equipment! Clean, friendly environment lots of space. The evironment was excellent.
Fantastic experience: Love the big fans in the field house!
Fantastic experience: Cara & Cassie are amazing & the facilities are really clean & modern!
Positive experience: Good clean gym but temperature is way too high. Even the change rooms are saunas. Gym area needs the AC to be turned up. Probably the hottest gym I’ve ever been to across Canada. Definitely not optimal for people’s health while exercising.
Fantastic experience: Clean, friendly staff, lots of parking and versatility. Lifeguards for programs are wonderful and professional
Fantastic experience: Nice place very clean
Fantastic experience: Best gym around here
Fantastic experience: Excellent gym with a ton of amenities. There are constant little improvement from month to month. The field house can be a bit loud in the morning with all of the group PT.
Positive experience: They really need to update their equipment
Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful swim. They have tube floats as well as a rope swing for the adults. Not to mention they're amazing hot tub. My body Felt So Good. And it was only $5 for a 2-hour swim.
Positive experience: Decent gym facilities some of the equipment though a little rough they could update some of it and for a military gym where strength should be priority one they're sort of lacking in the strength equipment. They need more racks, more bars and more plates
Fantastic experience: Great facilities. A little dates in the track area but weight room has new equipment. Great climbing wall. Facilities are extremely clean and kept up
Positive experience: Fun climbing wall
Fantastic experience: This one is probably the best among all bases.
Fantastic experience: Nice friendly customer service reps. Love there is so much on can do in this one facility for a day. Thank you for allowing the public to come out and play, in so many ways.
Fantastic experience: I've been to a few gyms, but this one really stands out as the best. They recently upgraded all their barbells and equipment, which is just fantastic!
Fantastic experience: Great facilities with squash, basketball volleyball running track, weight room, swimming pool . Great service and prices
Fantastic experience: Field House is amazing . Equipment and maintenance. PSP personnel very professional and welcoming. Always pleasure to workout here.
Positive experience: Honestly, I the feel and layout is a better than PSP Gagetown. The lights for one! Gagetowns fieldhouse is so dang dark.. why? Dunno.. the vibes are way off too.
Positive experience: I mean it’s a good facility for its buck , it has everything you need and some! The only thing I’m not pleased with is that when the sauna goes down their maintenance crew takes forever to fix it. As someone with PTSD I utilize the sauna on a regular basis for all it’s amazing health benefits and it’s one of the main reasons I train here because it has a sauna and I know for certain that a lot of the guys on base use the sauna for the same reason; after speaking with some of them and over hearing chatter in the locker room. This is an essential part of a lot of the guys routines and it’s quite frustrating to know that even know the federal budget is there to fix it (immediately) they still seem to intentionally take for ever to fix it. I don’t know maybe it’s man power, maybe they spend too much time shopping around for the cheapest contractor who knows ♂️. All I know is that it’s been down for a few months now and I noticed my health gets effected by this. I am unsure why the upper echelon at this place don’t push this issue. I know if I was a leader I’d want my troops as healthy as I can get them but this doesn’t seem to be a priority in our Canadian Military these days. If anyone even reads these it be great if you can get the sauna fixed!
Positive experience: Great gym. Lots to do from track, swim, workout equipment and much more. Friendly staff and always clean.
Positive experience: It's a military gym, you can pay per use or get a membership.

Fantastic experience: Squash courts!!!
Negative experience: It made me sweaty and out of breath and was very sore for days after. Stay away....lol.
Fantastic experience: Awesome staff and great place for exercise and family activities for all ages
Negative experience: My 1st experience at this facility sadly was not a good one. The staff was extremely rude when you approach to ask question. They would cut you off, snap at you and rolled thier eyes. wouldn't allow you to speak, it was a simple error on the facilities part with timing and an easy fix. But it was almost like your bothering them. I am appalled by this experience and how the 2 employees conducted themselves. No acknowledge on the staffs part to take ownership of the behavior even if the situation escalated to a point it should not have.
Positive experience: Buell gym is a large area to get lost in your fitness regime! Lots of different areas to accommodate every level of fitness. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars because some of the equipment is outdated, some equipment not working.
Fantastic experience: Good staff nice weight room, wonderful field house for mixing it up excited to try rock climbing another day
Negative experience: One of life guard are very rude. They destroyed my day with kids. One of life guard complain that my son was sitting on a rope, which wasn't true, because most of the time we playing with ball. Then life guard asked me and my family to leave, honestly for no reason. And in the end when I said, that I'm not gonna leave, because, there was no reason for me and my kids to leave, they call police On my opinion it was discrimination, and so unfair.
Fantastic experience: Fans really helped with airflow and there was lots of gym equipment to use
Positive experience: Good. .. force test. So ... no leisure
Fantastic experience: --had 1 month membership-- Great place overall. Very cheap and very nice facility. Clean as well
Fantastic experience: Greatest Cadet experience ever. Amazing rock climbing experience and track + sports like basketball! Amazing place.
Positive experience: Some equipment could use updating + in need of better air circulation in weight room
Positive experience: Nice staff,warm pool, amazing sauna...need more non military swim times during the day
Positive experience: The apron around the track in the field house is a little crowded and the one run-off area is blocked off and filled with the portable bleachers and, I suspect, non-serviceable equipment. The locker room is clean and functional and the sauna is very nice after a workout.
Fantastic experience: Bon gym plein d'équipements
Positive experience: Rustiest gym ever but free for military members.
Positive experience: Rustiest gym ever but free for military members.
Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, love the layout. Good staff!
Fantastic experience: Best gym I’ve ever been to for only $35 monthly
Negative experience: Brutal to be here on course during covid. It's impossible to get a time booked for the weight room and their rules don't allow for any kind of cross training in other sections. For example, you cannot use dumbbells if you have the racks booked at all. The staff aren't as welcoming as they used to be either and are clearly unhappy with how many rules they're trying to enforce. Save yourself the headache of it all and get a gym membership in town.
Fantastic experience: Outstanding facility.
Fantastic experience: This is a military establishment. Located on base borden. Total outfit. All sports gear, indoor track, gym dividing wall. Olympic size pool and out door pool. Weight room. Cardio equipment. Changers with showers. Full time staff qualified personal trainers. Barber shop. Probably milling some amenities. The military does their fitness support well.
Fantastic experience: Great gym. There is usually lots for military members and their families to do. Can't wait for it to get back to normal after COVID.

Positive experience: Not very happy since we pay for a membership and the pool is not able to be used until new year.... rebates should be given to family's who has memberships to use the pool.
Fantastic experience: Great Facility with lots of activities for kids to join.
Positive experience: The place is nice, I could've spend at least 2 hours there to lose some weight. What I didn't like is that you need to be in school to be part of the family group if you're over 18.
