St. Francis Xavier Sports Centre

Positive experience: I've been a member for 7 years and the only time it was hot upstairs was in the summer. Now it's hot all the time. They won't turn down the heat because it's too much trouble. The gym should ALWAYS be cool. There is no air conditioning which is understandable, however just because weather is cool or cold in winter, doesn't mean the heat sb cranked up. I can usually feel the cool air circulation blowing but there isn't any at all! Also they used to have the radio going through speakers, what happened to that?

Positive experience: Sometime the facility closes without a warning

Fantastic experience: Great setup for basketball games. Bleachers are on the second floor to watch the games.

Fantastic experience: My Son and I really enjoyed the variety of different exercise machines and free weights and more, including the indoor track as well as the Gymnasium and last but not least the staff are very professional and friendly and approachable and a friendly environment for Myself and Special Needs Adults, my son has Autism and Globally development delayed as well sensory issues. I found that my Son really enjoys coming here to exercise and interact with others and I enjoy pretty much everything,.St.Francis Xavier Sports Recreation Centre.

Fantastic experience: I come here to play in the ESSC league. The place is big and very clean. Always have a good time playing volleyball here.

Positive experience: Booking was efficient, you need to set up your own volleyball net that may takes your 30 minutes booking time, they should subtract the set up time to your booking time

Fantastic experience: One of my favourite rec centers. Very big and open, and very well taken care of.

Fantastic experience: Fun nice gym

Fantastic experience: Always free and respectful.

Fantastic experience: Good place and nice employee at the front desk

Positive experience: New, clean facility, always busy with programming. 3 gymnasiums are nearly always busy. Running track on the third floor, with a few cardio machines I rarely see anyone on in the evenings. A good option for west Ender's looking for recreation options.

Positive experience: Wonderful place for sports etc....my son was actually playing in the aboriginal basketball tournament that happened the weekend of Sept 29th-oct 1st, it was epic.

Negative experience: Oddly spaced gym.

Negative experience: Not a good experience. The front desk was welcoming, but to my surprise, there was a running track on the 2nd floor and a few random pieces of equipment in the 4 corners of the track, no treadmill. No proper workout area or equipment room. And no music to help encourage the only 2 people working out.

Fantastic experience: My home Rams rule

Positive experience: I like playing basketball there and close to my school overall a really good vibe

Positive experience: Closed until July 28 for maintenance.

Negative experience: Hi nBy

Negative experience: Save your time. Glorified rec centre for St. Francis Xavier high school.

Positive experience: Outside are the tennis courts, inside are the basketball and skating courts. Lotsa teams, games, tournaments.

Fantastic experience: Really impressed with how we are treated at the rec center today. Our club was treated well and our members had a good experience today.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful and clean kept volleyball courts. Locker/change rooms also very clean. Received a friendly welcome when I walked in. Can’t wait for my ESSC schedule to have me playing there again!

Negative experience: The gym they have there for lifting isn't big at all they have a bit of cardion at one corner of the track, some fixed machines at the other corner and then 2 benches with some dumbbells at another corner. If you're looking for a good lifting session I wouldn't recommend this facility

Fantastic experience: The locker area was clean when i went, might want to come early if you want a spot because it is first come first serve. The gyms are also clean and is big. They have a variety of sports to pick from and nets to set up.

Fantastic experience: Its really nice

Positive experience: It may have minimal equipment but good enough for some games and exercise to make you interested in working out and play.

Fantastic experience: Really good sports centre, super clean and have great gyms

Fantastic experience: Great facility and great services for almost everything

Positive experience: Beautiful facility for basketball and volleyball. Would give this place 5 stars if they could improve on two things. 1) add more workout equipment and other accessories. I would go more often if they had more gym equipment or maybe an extra room or two with weights, machines, squat racks, etc...facility is so big I think they can definitely add yoga room (for other classes on level 2 ) or maybe use one of their courts on level 1 to add extra equipment. Because I feel like they went a little excessive with the basketball and Volleyball courts. Lots of wasted space here It’s also missing other important gym feats like a mirror, kinda weird to be lifting without a mirror to see my form. 2) Also the hours are very limited, not everyone can make those times. Overall a lot of underutilized space in a beautiful facility.

Fantastic experience: Super clean gym perfect for almost everything

Negative experience: The facility is clean and staff are great. Please turn on some air conditioning in this heat the walking track and weights are on the top floor. Yesterday is was 27 degrees up there.

Negative experience: I would give the facility 5 stars, however I would give the person at the front desk named “Mohammed “ 0 star. He Was very rude and his costumer service skills not up to the right standards. He need more training on his customer service skills.

Positive experience: Good place to exercise but I wish the weekday hours could be extended When it opens at 5 makes it more difficult to attend Monday to Friday

Fantastic experience: Good facilities. Bring photo ID and proof of vaccination.

Positive experience: Beautiful facilities! The only challenge was the lighting in the gyms - I was blinded while trying to play badminton, and suspect other sports requiring you to look up would be challenging as well.

Fantastic experience: Really nice and friendly facility, had a great time on the track.

Fantastic experience: Excellent facility for playing volleyball every week. Staff friendly and helpful.

Fantastic experience: good facility, with three separated full sized gyms, a running track with gym equipment around it on top surrounding the gyms, and nice, clean, decently sized change rooms, this is a nice place to go and play basketball, volleyball, or even handball. very clean facility.

Negative experience: In the west side of Edmonton, this is the only Recreation center that is open to the public, wich is only open from 5:00 to 9:00 pm. Since they are not open in the morning I have to go to south and the north with my friends. It is really poor. Please try to open it in the morning. Thanks

Fantastic experience: Floors have really good grip.

Fantastic experience: Good facilities. Bring photo ID and proof of vaccination.

Negative experience: got bad experienced here. a instructor dont want to share the bench and weights because they rent the space for 1 hour. even the desk says i can. ..

Fantastic experience: Three sets of courts, divided by a plastic divider which drops down from the ceiling. Sound carries quickly from one gym to anouther, but a nice clean facility. There is also a running track which encircles the gyms and small quantities of workout equipment in each corner of the running track.

Positive experience: Whenever I stop by here, I am always greeted by the friendly workers at the front desk, which is greatly appreciated. A nice, clean facility also. Stop by if you're in need of some exercise.

Positive experience: I was told by 311 that I could buy my bus pass until 10 here. They closed their till at 930. I still have no bus pass for may. I will give a 4 to be fair but the till should not be closed at 930.

Positive experience: Nice clean facility and a great place for dry land training for our football club in the preseason.

Positive experience: If you're looking for a track, this place is great. There are three gymnasium, but I've always seen them in use by the high school classes or teams. There are a good selection of free weights, and one of most machines, so if someone else is using it then you have to wait your turn. Over all, it seems acceptable for the price paid.

Positive experience: Offers lots of options for your fitness needs in a clean facility.
