Minto Sports Complex Fitness Centre (MNO): Opinions
Fantastic experience: Tout nouveau, tout beau, tout neuf
Fantastic experience: Great location great building and facilities
Negative experience: Ice surface on both rinks is horrible during the summer. Soft and dangerous and has been that since the Rink was built. Friendly staff tho.
Positive experience: Very cool building on the ottawa university campus. It includes multiple arenas/fields and has the bar!
Negative experience: Poorly managed
Positive experience: I went there for a hockey event, it was fun and the food provided was great.
Fantastic experience: Top notch service.
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, clean dressing rooms, and a place to eat upstairs. Two ice pads - one doesn't have stands and limited seating on the second floor to watch. The main ice is used for uOttawa hockey games, so there's plenty of seating there.
Positive experience: The University of Ottawa has a good space for its students to play sports.
Fantastic experience: Nice
Fantastic experience: Very well organised, neat and clean!
Positive experience: Decent gym at best. Lacking good back equipment however. Worth a visit.
Fantastic experience: Great gym
Positive experience: Gym is pretty packed during peak hours
Fantastic experience: Nice gym!
Fantastic experience: Je ne commence même de fréquenter habituellement l'espace, je l'aime déjà!!!
Negative experience: I had to write final exams in here and I failed the exam. Would not recommend
Fantastic experience: Best place for swimming.
Fantastic experience: The varsity hockey games are always entertaining.
Positive experience: Great place but they need to add more staff at the reception. It seems like every time I visit there’s a long lineup.
Positive experience: I watched a hockey game between uottawa and uCarlton's teams here.
Negative experience: Doctors are amazing and very professional. The treatment to patients from the reception staff is incredibly rude and highly unprofessional from the blonde lady at the front desk. She speaks to people in a very unprofessional manner, not only me. When I arrived at the clinic she was already addressing in the same very rude way another girl that was there before me. When she wasn’t working there, I received better treatment from her co-workers and had a comfortable experience. She makes people feel very uncomfortable and have an awful experience even if it is just requesting information. Beyond rude.
Positive experience: good gym but its always overcrowded which is super annoying.. however the staff are really kind and i'm paying for it as part of my tuition so might as well make good use of it lmaooo
Positive experience: Really nice pool but it's a tad warm for working out hard.
Positive experience: Great
Positive experience: A great complex to indulge into multiple activities ranging from Lifting weights, Ice-skating, Ice- Hockey, American Football etc. The complex also consists of a health and fitness center where you can get regular checkups, blood work, vaccination etc. done. All the above facilities are preferably for the University students but can be used general public by paying extra charges and making appointments.
Fantastic experience: Great. All entrances open. Ice is hard.
Positive experience: Arena stuck and no more bar on-site.
Negative experience: Equipment is old, too many rules, their bench presses move so much. Get a GoodLife membership if you can.
Fantastic experience: Staff are very helpful, full experience. 2 ice pads, swimming pools, diving pools, an all purpose gymnasium, weight room.
Fantastic experience: There is a hockey rink, a football field, a tennis/badminton court, squash rooms, an exercise room, some study spaces, the university health clinic, a university bar, some classrooms, etc. Minto complex is a very accessible building too, with automatic doors and elevators.
Negative experience: The eduroam WiFi doesn't work in all rooms leading to many inconveniences for students and professors alike and the maps are sparce and not always helpful
Fantastic experience: Love the pool, very clean establishment
Fantastic experience: Such a Lovely Clean Centre
Fantastic experience: Good clinic !
Fantastic experience: Our lovely gym.
Negative experience: This gym is absolutely terrible. The equipment is old and terrible quality. It’s always overcrowded and the machines are places awkwardly so sometimes using machines your in other people way, especially the cables. There’s also multiple machines that are completely useless and just take up space. I HATE every time I have to go to Minto because mon petit is closed or booked up. Minto makes me dread going to the gym but there’s nothing better in the area. Compared to other university’s facilities Minto is a joke and honestly embarrassing. If you are a serious lifter find a commercial gym, I promise the commute is worth it. The rest of the facility such as the hockey arena and soccer field are nice and much newer than the gym. PLEASE UPDATE THE GYM!!
Positive experience: You can get your covid-19 vaccine in this building.
Fantastic experience: Great place for a night swim or hockey for kids. Love it. Number 1 go place.
Positive experience: Large gym space with loads to equipment. But damn, the locker room needs plenty of cleaning.

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff for the vaccine appointment.
Positive experience: Good place
Positive experience: Set up for covid booster facility. Almost an hour behind schedule, but going flat out to get the jabs in.
Negative experience: Very slow vaccination clinic. Not enough people giving the shots to handle the traffic. Was much better in the summer.

Fantastic experience: Staff and facility both one of the best. Clean and well taken care of.
Fantastic experience: The people is super polite. I like it.
Fantastic experience: Very friendly and helpful staff in this complex.
Negative experience: Got a $95 parking ticket
Fantastic experience: We found lots of services
Positive experience: Gym is old and rusty
Positive experience: This ice is always wet here and doesn't freeze very well after the Zamboni is done. Dressing rooms are a good size.
Fantastic experience: I got my vaccine here was a pretty good experience the only bad part was the waiting part but other then that pretty good
Positive experience: No room assignment displays anymore. Staff are often clueless about their setup, disengaged. Rink is too often a swimming pool 5-8 minutes into the ice time... Train your zamboni drivers. Only rink that is expecting people to upload PHI on a buggy web app. How many times does someone need to tell them about 7/16" bolts sticking out of the wall 3" at knee height???
Positive experience: Vaccination center for July 27, 28, 29 8 am to 8pm. I was there July 6 and 12. Its 801 King Edward with Parking at 60 Mann at Sandy Hill Arena.
Positive experience: 2nd dose! Layout and signage was great. Zero confusion.
Positive experience: Spacious, clean and well-run.
Fantastic experience: Quick COVID vaccine
Positive experience: Went for my covid vaccine and it was fast and well organized.
Fantastic experience: Received my second dose there. Well organized. Surprisingly ran 10-15mns ahead of time. Everyone there was nice. There’s free parking available for people getting vaccinated in the lot across from the complex and you can’t really miss it because there’s a huge sign.
Fantastic experience: Had my second vaccine shot here today. Process was smooth and efficient, except that it was running 15 minutes late. It was convenient to park in the public parking garage right beside the arena.
Fantastic experience: Je suis allé là pour obtenir mon dernier vaccin. Très bien organisé par Santé Ottawa.
Positive experience: Espaces dégagés et fonctionnels. Stationnement éloigné, bornes de paiement compliquées.
Positive experience: A good place to work out
Positive experience: Nice gym
Fantastic experience: Excellent accueil et organisation du tournoi de rugby féminin universitaire.
Positive experience: Need heat in the arena. Froze!
Positive experience: Large facility major exercise room doctors are nice
Positive experience: Good facility just off the Queensway. Nice bar upstairs for posy game festivities
Fantastic experience: why don't we name every arena Minto or Sensplex?
Fantastic experience: This is a very biased review because I use to come here when I study at UO. It's purely nostalgia, the food isn't amazing, just standard pub food. But the memories ...
Positive experience: Wear sandals in the shower
Fantastic experience: Nice
Positive experience: Beautiful Pub located above the ice surface.
Negative experience: The gym offers nothing but stench, long wait times for equipment and awkward/rusty change rooms.
Fantastic experience: Awesome installation. Just what I need
Positive experience: Only thing that stopped me to give 5 star is smell of this place, air quality is not the greatest and you always can smell all ppl sweats
Positive experience: Very nice facilities. Tends to be very busy during the school year
Positive experience: Alright gym, not bad if you go when it's not busy. Too small during peak hours though.
Positive experience: !! A major note is that they don't warn you very well that you must sign your name to use the ellipticals or treadmills or else other people can kick you off the machine. Other than that it's pleasant place to workout with a nice variety of machines. The only other downside is the large amount of people that go to this gym.
Positive experience: Do not pay a personal trainer from here. it's a waste of your hard earned cash.
Fantastic experience: It has all that I needed
Positive experience: It's certainly Minto Sports Complex
Fantastic experience: Nice gym
Positive experience: Pretty good overall. I wish the width of the lockers are bigger, and I really hope that they clean the lockers from time to time.
Positive experience: Always busy
Positive experience: Pretty expensive GYM for the price if done with your studies. Its gonna be said 75$ per month. Comparatively its smaller and expensive.
Fantastic experience: The gym is great but it is pretty much always busy, even in the morning. It's definitely best to go at odd times so that your workout can be maximized.
Fantastic experience: Good
