Prince Edward Fitness & Aquatic Centre: Opinions
Fantastic experience: This places family swims are amazing
Fantastic experience: Nice place, there are everything you need for a workout sessions. 5 stars
Negative experience: This review is in regards to pool and kids! Grandkids loved teachers, swimming lessons were ok, pool itself was cold small kids turn purple some cried and refused to get in, could it be cold!. Family swim time had no fun stuff like we have experienced at other pools. Grangkids are now travelling to Belleville warm pool and more of a fun atmosphere family swim has fun floats and stuff.
Positive experience: Friendly, reasonable gym with all the basic amenities. Olympic sized pool, sauna, showers and lockers. Staff is always helpful and many class offerings. The facilities are rather dated but sufficient. Overall, a good local gym in PEC.
Fantastic experience: Nice fitness centre, my husband and I did a spin class. The equipment is sturdy and reliable. Friendly instructor and classmates.
Fantastic experience: Gym has to be open till 6:00pm Saturday and Sunday plss
Fantastic experience: Friendly atmosphere - no shame - GREAT instructors and staff!!!
Fantastic experience: Love the Aquafina classes Different classes each day with different instructors
Negative experience: If the Dolphins swim club cannot be accomodated by PEFAC, It's obvious that County Council relook into their support for PEFAC.
Negative experience: Not willing to compromise on full rental pool use for the 35 years running swim team. Bureaucracy over community. As a “not for profit” corporation one would hope they would have community in mind. Appears not. Received $50,000 from County Council in 2020 among many other financial donations, as well as $150,000 in matured GIC’s in 2020 yet cannot give up 2hrs per week of full pool time (paid) at a time that works for the swim team. Abhorrent.
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, clean facility. Nice squash courts.
Fantastic experience: Really friendly staff, good variety of equipment and more than anything a very comfortable environment! They also offer great variety for fitness, such as swimming, squash courts and personal training. (Their personal trainer Conor is lovely!)
Positive experience: I took swimming lessons here, now my son is taking his lessons same pool. Great teacher we love Sydney. Only one word of caution, be careful what you leave lying around you'll never get it back. I've heard I'm not the only one that has left something and it was not there when I went back to get it.
Fantastic experience: It's a gym with a pool but with events and a sauna. Staff are very nice too.
Fantastic experience: Friendly efficient staff
Fantastic experience: I'm doing water aerobics there. It's a very good workout, with a different leader each time. Sauna is very nice after a serious workout.
Fantastic experience: I LOVE this place!! The people at the front desk are absolutely wonderful! The facilities are amazingly clean and the members and staff are extremely committed to keeping it that way. Fabulous facilities too: pool, sauna, squash, yoga/pilates/karate studios, spin cycle studio, tons of weights, and lots of cardio machines. But I totally mean it when I say that I just adore the incredible people at the front desk! Every one of them is an absolute gem. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this place! ❤️
Positive experience: Most of the equipment is pretty old and could a face lift. The price compared to other nearby facilities is reasonable. The staff was excellent, very friendly and welcoming. It was a gym with a small town feel.
Positive experience: A good club that I've been a member of for 28 years. Only public pool in Prince Edward County. Lots of improvements over the years. Kind of expensive, but the only option locally that has squash courts and a pool. There are a dedicated group of squash players who have improved the courts tremendously. Lots of classes, swim lessons, yoga, personal trainers, squash house league. Something for everyone.
Fantastic experience: Was in town for a day and used their weight room. It's an old school muscle dungeon. The sort of equipment that isn't pretty but will survive a nuclear war. Pure gains. Love it.
Positive experience: Great place for lessons. This time around with my grandson. Can't wait for the family changeroom( reason for 3 stars) Staff very friendly and accommodating.
Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism
Positive experience: Good workout facility with responsible Covid protacols
Fantastic experience: I used to go here regularly. I'd go back if I had the funds and motivation. My daughter loves to work out there now.
Fantastic experience: Great community of people and staff, privileged to work there!
Fantastic experience: This place is a great gym for the county area, as someone new it is a great spot and with covid being scary times they took lots of extra precautions to make me feel very safe and at ease.
Thank you for your review Maria!
Fantastic experience: PEFAC is definitely taking Covid seriously. Protocols are executed perfectly every time so I feel really safe in their facilities. Not many folks in the pool later in the day so that's my hot tip if you want to go when no one else is around. Loving getting my laps in, staff are all really friendly. ❤️
Negative experience: During the COVID pandemic, PEF&AC are terminating employees for calling in with COVID like symptoms. I wouldn't walk in this place of my life depends on it. Do you want COVID?!
Negative experience: Musty & exhausted.
