Wilfrid Laurier University Athletic Complex: Opinions
Positive experience: Nice place, great and safe space for children
Fantastic experience: Good
Fantastic experience: Great way to spend your afternoon watching a soccer game! The students there play professionally and are incorporating amazing skills from advanced soccer even though they are not yet belonging to the big professional leagues. Thank you for your hard work!
Fantastic experience: Great place to play lacrosse
Fantastic experience: Loved it!
Fantastic experience: An experience to remember forever. Very nice court for the championships
Positive experience: It is a nice set up. Great place for basketball tournament. Awesome tuck shop to purchase goodies.
Positive experience: Beautiful center!
Negative experience: Loved the gym but the staff were just awful. Particularly the sports program coordinators, they did a terrible job of running the intramurals program - I had multiple complaints last term that went unaddressed and was completely disregarded by the staff who didn’t seem to care about anything my team or I said. Horrible staff
Hi Jack, we're sorry to hear about your negative experience with intramurals. If you'd like to share more about your experience, please email Kevin at [email protected] and let him know which intramural(s) you participated in.
Positive experience: Nice spacious gymnasium to play basketball, nice squash courts, and a spacious turf where anyone can go workout. It's very close to the other parts of campus as well. Can't wait for the new developments coming within the next few years.
Fantastic experience: Loved it!
Fantastic experience: Had a tour today. Quite the facility. Modern with a good flow. Impressive.
Positive experience: Equipment is amazing, but the music choices are absolutely horrible, I want to rip my ears out, not only are some repetitive as hell and also sound like other songs, some songs I find disturbing due to their explicit lyrics. Most songs don't function as "exercise music" as well. Otherwise the equipment is great, been making a lot of progress using the puller, bikes, treadmills But for the love of god, can we get some more music variability, moderation, and filtration? Maybe introduce a vote system if you don't have one already.
Hi there, thank you for your feedback about the music. We are interested in discussing this with you further. If you are willing to provide more about your experience, please email Wes, our Facilities Coordinator, at [email protected].
Fantastic experience: Great game on Saturday night!
Fantastic experience: Great placd next to an outdoor field for lots of sports...
Negative experience: Good gym with nice facilities but found that the sports programs for students were very poorly run and disorganized. Imo the staff running it were extremely unhelpful in resolving issues regarding intramurals and didnt care for student concerns
Hi there, we're sorry to hear about your experience. If you would like to discuss it further with our team, please reach out to Kevin at [email protected].
Negative experience: wouldnt give me my money back for a intramural bond deposit
Positive experience: a good enough place to work out with your free student pass, but it's usually very busy and gets quite warm and sweaty-smelling upstairs. the facility (and climbing wall... it's pretty much a tiny corner - EDIT: now open during much more of the week, the instructors are super friendly, but it gets hella crowded lol) is smaller than it should be for the amount of students at laurier. the staff are always polite and helpful though! the pool water is (imo) kinda cold.
Hi Nicole, thanks for taking the time to write a review! We wanted to let you know that to help accommodate increased interest, we have extended the climbing wall hours! You can see the hours of operation here: https://recreation.laurierathletics.com/sports/2021/6/30/86_132695382729867775.aspx
Positive experience: Clean, orderly, polite staff, helpful posters/diagrams on machines for how to do certain workouts, lane swimming has slots you can book, and has fair rules for entry. The few dance classes I took were fun and educational. Sometimes, the website can be confusing to navigate for hours during special events, but the staff always clear up confusion when I go in person :))
Negative experience: I didn't like the stage, nor the seats, nor the ceremony, everything was less than usual.
Positive experience: small stands
Fantastic experience: Great sport complex, clean & spacy place
Positive experience: Solid gym, busy 24/7.
Positive experience: Went for a swim lesson with R.O.W. swim club
Fantastic experience: My kids university. I love it
Negative experience: The club has good machines, decent plate loaded compound lifts but the free weight area is a nightmare; not 1 dumbbell in its proper spot, random dumbbells all over the turf, missing weights and the bench’s themselves are cheap and out of date, bench seat is fixed so it’s far more risky to do heavy lifts like shoulder press because form will always be off . Furthermore the lockeroom is filthy, dirty socks on the floor, garbage and a musty smell, I really don’t think it’s cleaned more than once a day. In addition (not the clubs fault) this place is literally stuffed packed aside from super early morning. If your a casual gym user and a Laurier student then this gym will serve its purpose as a free gym. If your a rat then the $10 a month for crunch fitness will provide you with an infinitely more fulfilling gym experience.
Fantastic experience: great place to swim lanes for fitness. It can be busy so choose your swim times wisely, usually early in the morning is best.
Fantastic experience: my home
Fantastic experience: A smashimg facility
Negative experience: The facility looks good from the outside. However, the Men changing room is disappointing and even dangerous. You can feel bad odor everywhere.
Negative experience: disgrace.
Positive experience: Please stop playing country music and get Spotify premium
Positive experience: It's a great place to exercise or do intramurals, but if you have an exam here bring a sweater. It will be cold.
Fantastic experience: nice and complete
Fantastic experience: Has twice as many benches as CIF
Fantastic experience: Laurier gym is blessed
Fantastic experience: Facility is really big and has great security. The gym is a very big and good place to train. The pool is also very nice and has a very good observation area.
Negative experience: Way to busy unless you get there before the crack of dawn! Facility is good otherwise.
