The Works Field House

Fantastic experience: Lots of facilities like basketball court, yoga classes, etc. We especially enjoy the indoor track which is about 250m around. Very reasonably priced for a walk or run.

Positive experience: A good gym for exercising and sometimes for entertainment such as ping-pong or badminton and swimming.

Negative experience: Staff is never friendly, never a smile or hello, sometimes they just pass you the wristband without looking or speaking to you at all. This afternoon the guy at the counter was very very rude, ran after me and yelled at me for going the “wrong way up the stairs” even though I was not informed when checking in. Not enough benches, many machines very old and in disrepair. Will be changing gyms next month.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful

Positive experience: The gym itself is good, but the changing room security is a concern. My belongings were stolen twice after someone cut my lock, so I wouldn't recommend leaving anything valuable there.

Negative experience: I went here with friends to practice some volleyball, we never had a court because we don’t have memberships, at the desk we were told to find an empty court and just play, well we found a court and we were almost immediately kicked off it, after paying $10 each may I add. We went back to the desk and they said we could play in this specific court in 20 minutes. After time was up we went over and had to get a manager because we were once again told we couldn’t play there

Positive experience: Good, clean venue for the kids. Could use some benches or chairs around the upper deck as over seven hours for us over 70 spectators is rough. They also lost a lot of potential business by not having a canteen open. Parking is very limited for the size of the venue, although aided by the largesse of the church across the street. All in all, not a bad place.

Positive experience: Decent spot to visit

Negative experience: Workers kicked me out 2 min early I paid for 6-9 and only received 6-8:58 only good part about the feild house was my boy Zion. Clamp him Zion!!! Dayum

Positive experience: Great deal for students - fit classes for all levels throughout the year.

Negative experience: I have recently started going to the field house again. I actually dread interacting with staff at the front counter when I try to get a bracelet. They are extremely rude. As someone who used to work at a different gym, we promoted positivity and a welcoming atmosphere to all members. THIS IS THE OPPOSITE. I only go to the field house because it’s a MANDATORY membership to pay for MUN students. One thing I will say is that it’s a clean facility but the reason is probably because no one goes there. It has a large number of staff walking around that are paid by students who are forced to pay for the membership as I mentioned before.

Fantastic experience: The place offers wide varieties of fitness, aquatic, recreational facilities including workout lessons and schedules every day. Open to MUN students and the general public. Great place to have a try

Positive experience: Lots of options. Courts, track and workout options. Great weekday and weekend option

Negative experience: It costs $9 to drop in for to go to the basketball court and shoot around. That by itself is insane and too expensive. The staff never answer the phone so it’s incredibly hard to know if the court is free or booked until you show up. The morning and evening staff constantly tell me different things(in terms of policies) and I can never tell what is what. This is likely due to management not properly training the staff.

Positive experience: Went to a basketball game. It was good

Positive experience: Pretty nice facility. Great for anyone to walk in and use! I recommend coming here.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful place, really energetic, staff is also nice and helpful Everything is perfect over there

Fantastic experience: Good gym for students

Fantastic experience: Super well equipped. Can’t beat indoor walking with winter now here. Nice friendly staff.

Fantastic experience: Great variety of activities. Add a lot more excitement to your routine. Staff is great too

Fantastic experience: Great place for student to workout and play indoor sports

Negative experience: Recently had a not so pleasant in countering with the Field House Staff. There was a problem with the booking which is fine but for the workers AND the manager to be extremely rude is not okay. The manager came down and was so insensitive towards us and didn’t want to listen to anything we had to say. Was so disrespectful and had HORRIBLE customer service. I’ve never seen a worker, let alone a manger be so awful to customers.

Positive experience: Nice place.

Negative experience: Prices are very expensive and there are no offers for college students only for those who study at the university

Fantastic experience: Best place for MUN Student

Fantastic experience: Robyn's the best

Negative experience: The place was awesome but I felt the FOH girl are favourable to her friends. I felt so bad. She was wearing a glass and i reported that to manager in a relectful way but she was been rude to me. The manager was suppose to atleast listen to my words as a customer response . Felt very discriminated

Fantastic experience: Great facilities, great track cheap price.

Fantastic experience: A comprehensive gym and recreational facility. Well taken care of. A pleasure to workout there.

Fantastic experience: Great indoor gym and track.. Good place to get a little exercise if the weather is horrible.. With badminton, basketball, weights and treadmills and much more.

Fantastic experience: The works is good place for workout for students and staff of Memorial University as well as general public. Usually crowded in the evening but there is COVID19 protocol in place. You clean before and after using any machine and there is limitations to number of people inside each room. The perfect time for me is in the morning. ATM is also available for someone in quick need of cash.

Positive experience: Well maintained facility however, the music selection (almost always classic rock) and sports viewing in the cardio room (almost always includes female wrestling as opposed to other female sports like WNBA) make it feel like the target audience is not women or university students.

Fantastic experience: Love the pool and the work out areas is on of the top work out areas

Positive experience: Been going there since I have joined MUN. Affordable and decent place to workout, if some lives around MUN

Fantastic experience: An excellent place for exercise. I find the track very useful.

Fantastic experience: A great place to workout and get exercise.

Fantastic experience: Great place to make exercise all year long

Fantastic experience: I love to eat there

Positive experience: Well equipped and spacious only inconvenience is that if they are hosting an event you won't be able to use some of the facilities. Check with them before coming.

Fantastic experience: Lovely climate controlled multi sport facility with an indoor track. Friendly courtesy staff and inexpensive.

Fantastic experience: I play basketball here. Clean courts ! They provide basketballs also, no cost.

Positive experience: It has a large variety of things to do, nothing very specialized

Fantastic experience: Meow

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere

Fantastic experience: Great

Fantastic experience: because as there tims there so i can easily get a snavk when I want

Fantastic experience: Great privilege for MUN students!

Fantastic experience: Good Camps!

Positive experience: I've used the student gym area and the track for running, but I haven't used the student area since before COVID. The gym portion is not as bad as people say it is. They don't have a lot of dumbbells though, and it can get pretty crowded. The cardio area is fine, there's usually enough machines. The track is a bit hard on the feet, but it's well maintained and the best indoor track in town. Sometimes people don't stick to the right lanes, but it's doable to just run around them. The open area around the track is fine, but there aren't enough mats and not much dumbbell variety. The barbells are upstairs in a separate area, but there's not much more up there that's useful.

Positive experience: Maybe not as fancy as some other gyms but it's got all the equipment you could want and it's in good condition. Mornings are not busy at all so you rarely have to wait to use a piece of equipment.

Fantastic experience: Great gym and running track.

Fantastic experience: Always a fun time.

Fantastic experience: Love the works

Negative experience: Overpriced and inconsiderate staff.

Positive experience: Facility is older but mostly well maintained. Has small tots pool along side a very large pool divided into three sections. There's a water slide at the deepest end. Good for family swims. Also have some good programs. Website is in need of major updating as can't book anything without having to call... There is a Tim Hortons on site

Fantastic experience: Being an international student and fitness fan. The work is a great place to workout. Each and every equipment are available for each and every body type. Cardio, Toning, Weight Lifting, Running tracks, Basketball Court, Badminton Court. One can get everything who wants to bring their body in shape. The staff is very good. And people as always Happy to Help.

Fantastic experience: To a good time in the sun

Fantastic experience: On the campus of Memorial University, close to the Health Science Centre and Janeway Hospital, and across the street from the Aquarena. It has world class indoor track and everything that is everything to staying or getting in shape. A place where you see people of every age from young university students to aged seniors participating in all types of programs. Young students shooting hoops, cardio rehab patients; they are all here.

Fantastic experience: Indoor track, ping pong, badminton, weight room, pool and yoga/zumba all in one facility! Great place to exercise on a cold winters day or night. Next to the pool area is Tim Hortons! Have a hot cuppa Joe while waiting for your kid to finish swimming lessons.

Negative experience: Not the cleanest gym!

Fantastic experience: First time there and I had a nice brisk walk. It was awesome

Positive experience: Mainly use as a student that has decent facilities only criticism is something different always seems to be broken

Fantastic experience: Deadly gym. One of the only gyms around with a punching bag and running track. Lots of bodyweight and functional fitness gear. Geared towards students so the best equipment is in the student sections.

Positive experience: Welcoming and not too crowded

Positive experience: Awesome pool! Great staff! Love that there are Groupons for the works a lot!

Fantastic experience: Wonderful people wonderful place

Fantastic experience: Wow wow wow what a great place to go for ANY type of exercising. Staff are professional. Love it there

Positive experience: Huge pool, thought even it can be crowded at times. Extra star off for removing the saunas

Positive experience: Plenty of equipment and a large track, if you're a student at MUN the membership is part of your fees so you may as well take advantage. Friendly staff, clean facilities, and convenient hours.

Fantastic experience: Great place for multiple Sports

Fantastic experience: Great place for maintaining your body. Badminton court is so great

Negative experience: Probably the worst gym in existence! Equipment are beyond outdated, rusty, and very limited in number. Would give it ZERO stars if I could!

Fantastic experience: Good equipment, space and staff. Easy to get to. Highly recommend.

Positive experience: Needs updating but has good potential to be great again.

Fantastic experience: Very comprehensive gym

Positive experience: Good pool and staff but can be crowded in the evening.

Positive experience: Great atmosphere and well equipped

Positive experience: Well equipped, friendly gym.

Negative experience: I am a mun student and used to love go to the works for work out,but I feel really hurt feeling this time case I was doing skipping as usual,but there is a lady who works here stop me and force me to go somewhere else case she think I will hurt somebody ‍♀️‍♀️but THERE IS NO ONE THERE! and if someone see me skipping I think normal person won't go really near me! I try to talk to her ,she just push me to go,this is unacceptable case I pay my gym fees every semester! and I didn't distrub anyone!

Negative experience: Staff was quite rude...Paul Reynolds beats the Aquarena hands down.

Fantastic experience: Lots of fun for the whole family.

Fantastic experience: Memorial University sports complex.

Positive experience: Clean area and free with Mun tuition. Gym is well kept and contains a nice spot to play table tennis or badminton. Just be careful it does get quite busy during the semester so reserve spots ahead of time.

Positive experience: Good atmosphere, and a lot of access to all equipment but the female showers are terrible. No girl wants to use open showers, it doesn't cost that much to hang a few curtains...

Positive experience: Life guards were incredibly rude to the people around us, not the friendliest environment to be in. Also the locks on the lockers didn't work after we tried several times with quarters.

Fantastic experience: Best place on campus to get a workout in between classes/after class!

Positive experience: The Works is a nice clean pool. It has two water slides as well as diving boards. The changerooms are nice and spacious. It can be loud but there is lots of room to swim.

Fantastic experience: It is place where one and friend can go for a serious workout

Fantastic experience: I love it

Fantastic experience: Excellent badminton courts

Positive experience: A great way to spend a few hours between classes but the showers suck

Positive experience: Clean facility, never run into a douchey meathead there (only super chill, polite meatheads so far). A little crowded but great free weight setup- multiple flat/incline/adjustable benches, several squat racks so I rarely have to wait long for one if at all, and more than enough dumbbells to go around. Could use a more diverse machine setup though, maybe a couple hammer strength machines. And definitely needs a seated calf raise machine.

Negative experience: The works is an excellent place to go for a workout and a swim until you find out how dirty it really is. I may change my review on the works depending on how well the renovations are but the works pool is dirty and the water rarely ever gets changed. Their lifeguards are also unqualified (most of them anyways) and their change rooms are falling apart.

Positive experience: Not bad ... Clean

Fantastic experience: Probably the best pool in St John's. Also it doesn't offer a hot tub this pool is known for its slides and amazing swimming lessons. Even though it's awesome for swimming the lifeguards here suck. The Works offers jobs to kids who don't have their full life guarding certificate just because it's cheaper.

Fantastic experience: Even has a swimming pool!

Positive experience: Convenient
