L'Amoreaux Community Recreation Centre

Positive experience: One of the best free gyms in Scarborough. Gets a little crowded at times but that just speaks to its popularity. Just remember to be polite and considerate and you'll make friends quickly. Changing rooms could use better ventilation.

Fantastic experience: A very nice place, clean, people are friendly Has a lot of free programs

Positive experience: I just walked the trail. It was lovely

Positive experience: 还可以的社区中心，很正常，没有很特别

Negative experience: Not sure if centre is short staffed. Rarely anyone at the front desk, messages NEVER returned. This community centre offers many free programs so staff should be calling those who have signed up to remind them about the classes, and moving people from wait list into the programs for those not showing up for classes otherwise a waste of tax payers money.

Negative experience: The gym it god but the change room like the staff not use in bleach or anything clean up

Fantastic experience: 可以

Negative experience: Staff would endorse equipment hogger who stayed on a machine for over 40 minutes (I’m sure it’s longer since when I arrived the woman was already there) and refused to let other people to work in between sets because “there’s no such rules, she could stay on the machine all day if she likes”. If you suggest change be made, you will be dismissed “it’s not gonna change”. Btw according to the staff, treadmill time limit is due to “old people whining”, well that word choice really says something, the public is a nuisance to them. Oh if the woman is reading this review, just lettin you know that the staff said he’s babysitting us. So perhaps next time try not to play victim so soon? And perhaps 6 years is too long a time to learn proper gym etiquette? And to the male in cap this morning who has the audacity to claim that every gym in the world condones equipment hogging: how many countries have you been to? Canada can’t represent the whole world. I have been to gyms in China, Japan, a lot of gyms straight out says you should share equipment when necessary or you shouldn’t be on a machine more than 20 minutes. Ok fine we are in Canada, but to claim“every gym in the world” says nothing but your own ignorance and arrogance. You are not the only person who has trained in a gym.

Fantastic experience: The Halloween party this year was fun! My daughters had a great time going to the different activity stations in the gym. Too bad the movie started late and ended early but overall, a great experience!

Fantastic experience: Great location, amazing facilities

Positive experience: Great gym experience. Been going for about 8 years on and off to this fitness center. Being your own locks for the lockers here. Please don't bring your bags in the space, it takes up space. It's a great atmosphere and the people are nice most of the time. There are less instructions than most gyms, so you should come in with an idea of what you're doing. They removed some of the equipment for covid related reasons, but there was never really that many machines. Depending on the time of day, you'll get very different demographics of people at the gym. There's a 30 min limit on the treadmills, but you probably shouldn't be running for that long anyways. There are stair masters and bikes as well. They have a small space for floor work too. Be respectful and responsible with the equipment. There's usually no one recording anything, so you don't have to worry about ending up on someone's tiktok. I would say that it's a ratio of 5:3 for the men. I know some women prefer to go to the gym with as little men as possible, so I'd suggest 12-3 or after 8pm. From 6:30 - 9 am is usually retired folk. They have sports in the gym each day. Mon= Badminton Wed/Fri= basketball Thurs= volleyball. Different classes and programs are on the other levels. There's a daycare in the lower levels. It's an old school community centres, and it's great.

Fantastic experience: Good

Positive experience: Great little place. Has a gym downstairs and a little sitting area upstairs. Pretty active place

Negative experience: Ballroom organizers were rude, Complained to the front desk. She was even worst. She told me I didn't have to come if I didn't like it.

Negative experience: Very disorganized. Management seems lacking. This gym, activity rooms, and washrooms are filthy. Washrooms are usually lacking paper towels, toilet paper and soap. This is a busy centre. Staff at front desk never seen to have relevant information regarding programs at this centre. The registered and drop-in schedule online for this centre is often inaccurate. Many drop-in and registered fitness programs get cancelled at this centre because instructors are not contacted/scheduled. There's always broken glass bottles and garbage in the designated spots in the parking lot.

Fantastic experience: Fitness Room is decent and not overcrowded for the afternoon/evenings. Be aware that the place is closed for renovation this week until September 25 2022.

Positive experience: First day experience was good..

Fantastic experience: It's literally the backrooms, there's this weird buzzing noise and it's really dark and creepy. Love it!

Fantastic experience: I must admit this place is important to its community. I hope it prospers. May it elevates anyone that utilizes it

Positive experience: Great looking community centre, lots of amenities but communication about canceled programs/classes is poor. Staff upstairs very unfriendly.

Negative experience: The area for table tennis should be closed as the area is so small and there are so many seniors coming congesting to a tinny area that make it easy for corvid 19 to cross transmiited between players . The sooner to stop it, the better !!

Fantastic experience: Been here for years. Been apart of youth programs, but I only go there for the gym now. It has a good variety of equipment for beginners and long time gym goers. There is no squat rack or deadlifting platform. It is free to go with registration at no cost to you, just proof of residence I believe.

Positive experience: Nice place for a short walk!

Fantastic experience: Nice and calm environment plus have a free gym

Fantastic experience: The city needs to upgrade the park lights. Very dark and unsafe. The parking area and roadway in the park needs more lights

Positive experience: It's an okay community centre, only came here because it was where I had to go vote. So this review won't be a fair review. Just based on this one visit there is ample parking and the interior was fairly nice in appearance

Positive experience: 非常好的社區中心，有教排舞嚄，

Positive experience: Very nice and beautiful place with more activities communicating by good ,active and corporative staffs

Fantastic experience: Play badminton every Saturday evening.

Negative experience: No squat rack. Not a serious gym for people who want to get some deadlifts done. The Smith Machine is also installed incorrectly facing the wrong way. Changerooms are dirty and mouldy. There's no soap for the washroom in the changeroom, and one of the urinals are out of order. Also no wifi, so there's really no incentive for the younger community to come here and do some work. Would not recommend.

Fantastic experience: Well maintained and clean building. Nice gym with sufficient cardio equipments. Wish they add some playstuff to engage younger kids.

Fantastic experience: I go there almost every week for drop in basketball and the staff is always so kind and friendly. They have so many activites avaliable to all ages. Great place!

Fantastic experience: It's one of the free community centres offered in the City of Toronto. Lots of great drop in programs to try a class for fun!

Negative experience: Today, as 2020 vicronvirus in Toronto, the centre hygiene is behind public health standards, eg wash rooms no paper dry your hand. It just matter some one get the virus soon am regular exerciser and have diploma on Science of exercise. Downstairs exercise room at the back of weight lifting equipment is wrong install, they reverse front to the back from the mirror. most trainer usually train in front of the mirror, that mean, the hand waist also need to reverse by holding the waist, that will caused hand muscle damage in long run.been mention to supervisor(Denise), not install correctly by the safety rule from manufacture. She said they need more space for more equipment. I do not believe body exercise safety less important than by install few more machine or new machine than long term chronic pain. As experience trainer need few good and safety machine than more machines also another new treadmill for senior, just walking only. but it hiding very danger, it is no emergency stop, it won't stop if he or she fall and also seldom use by adults

Positive experience: Nice ball diamond. Huge outfield.

Fantastic experience: Cousins wedding reception

Positive experience: Great place to exercise and walk around .

Positive experience: Good place really good gym

Positive experience: Many activities to sign up for. Meet new people make new friends

Positive experience: I only use weight room. Could be better if other patrons tidy themselves and put back their weights. Also if others can stop using so much hot water that the change room ends up being a steam room, that'll be great. Weight room hours: Mon-Fri: 0630-2130. Sat-Sun: 0800-1530.

Fantastic experience: Love the staffs! Denise is very kind and respectful. The gym is small but hey! it’s free. Free yoga and dances for adults/seniors. They’re improving with new machines and such. It’s a great place for free fun and activities!

Positive experience: Nice facility for the stuff, but not very clean

Positive experience: Free gym facility for community members but the weights are a little smelly. The front desk people have been rude before but sometimes they are nice. Other than that everything else is fine.

Fantastic experience: Great staffs, nice facility and if you live in Toronto you can sign up for a lot of there free programs

Positive experience: The program that I attended has been taught by Junet for many years. She has been great. The community centre may not been a well run environment, though.

Fantastic experience: Been going to this community recreation centre for years now to use the fitness centre. During the weekdays the mornings are filled with elder people who use the treadmill most of the time and go way over the recommended 30mins. The equipment is old but they have added some new machines.. Overall the staff is great and they provide a lot of activities for the community.

Fantastic experience: Run third party programs here and i live the staff

Fantastic experience: I go to this recreation centre for ballroom dancing every Friday afternoon (12:45 pm to 3:00 pm). The dance room is huge with well maintained hardwood floor. Dancing a Viennese Waltz is effortless on such smooth hardwood floor. The DJ (volunteer) is a healthy senior who has good taste in ballroom music. I like her ballroom music very much. Free entrance if you have Scarborough membership (which can be obtained from the office with your proof of address). The ladies staff in the office are wonderful! (Line dance also takes place on Wednesday afternoon from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm).

Fantastic experience: Good community centre. Great summer camps.

Positive experience: Great free gym

Positive experience: Very large and clean complex surrounded by a pond and park space. Lots of free parking available. There are Canada geese, heron, red winged black birds and robins etc. that can be seen on the grounds of the park. Lots of programs for seniors and lots of seating including being able to purchase coffee and tea. Definitely a gem in a fantastic location. I love the walkways surrounding the centre.
