Iqaluit Aquatic Centre: Opinions

Positive experience: seems to be very well maintained and nice staff just wish they had wifi for their customers

Positive experience: To be very clear, this gym is not a Good Life Fitness or LA Fitness. However, It is the best gym in Iqaluit, and there are only two to choose from. The equipment is good, and the group fitness room is also good. The best time for me to workout at this gym is Saturday mornings. Of course, like any other gym, the worst time to exercise is after work (5:00pm- 7:00pm). The floor size is small, and you will feel it during the after-work rush. With that said, this gym will give you what you need to maintain and even lose weight. I was very happy with the VERY clean lockrooms (see pics). I very much appreciated the cleanliness. It also has a swimming pool and a co-ed sauna, which is new for me, coming from a gym where the sauna are men or women only. Try it out, I did, and I am still here :)

Positive experience: It’s about $110/month here. I’d say it’s reasonable given what is included in your membership. I really enjoy this gym! Great lockers and space to keep your things, be sure to bring a lock. Most gym members are friendly and you’ll see similar faces at times depending on the times you go at☺️ Some of the equipment is a little old but the studio is packed with a large variety of dumbbells, kettleballs, steppers, and other basics for a workout. There’s also a punching bag and lots of cardio equipment to choose from. Overall, this is one of my favourite gyms I’ve been to. I’m very privileged to be able to workout here. Many communities do not have access to such an a facility.

Fantastic experience: Clean facilities. Pool is a good size and great for kids and adults to enjoy, whether you're a novice swimmer or a "fish"

Andrew Smith 3 years ago

Negative experience: It was nice and clean. But no Sauna or hot tub which was why I went.

Mads Sandbakken 3 years ago

Positive experience: Nice gym and pool. However the sauna is rarely open and there has to be a lifeguard there to sauna. Makes no sense to me. If they can let adults use sauna whenever they want I'd add another star.

Fantastic experience: Great facility, can workout, join classes and enjoy the pool

Kent Power 4 years ago

Negative experience: Keep in mind this doesn't reflect the gym, as I have a home gym, this is for the pool only. Not a fan of the new post-Covid lockdown swim schedule. Two adult lane swims a week in the evenings? Reduced hours on weekends? Not sure how this helps the building cover its costs.
