Hi, thanks for the 5-star review. We look forward to seeing you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Went and paid a drop in fee for the rock climbing wall and it was definitely worth it. The way you they had the wall set up was definitely not for beginners but I’m under the impression that they change the set up from time to time. I enjoyed the extra difficulty as it was actually a challenge to get to the top unlike a lot of other walls I have done before.
Hi Matthew, thank you for the 5-star review and the feedback! We look forward to seeing you back on the climbing wall soon!
Fantastic experience: Had an amazing experience with gray he was super informative and a pleasure to deal with

Positive experience: What a beautiful place
Hi David, thank you for the review. We hope to see you again!
Positive experience: Great gym. Have been to all the gyms in PlaP and the RecPlex is my fav. Lots of equipment, free weights and machines, walking track is great and a variety of cardio machines. The adaptations that they have had to make due to covid is very much appreciated and they are doing a great job of providing a clean facility. As a high school teacher, my students love when we get to go there for class and they are very accommodating for this to happen.
Hi Jo-Anne, thank you for the fantastic review. We are so pleased to hear that you and your students enjoy the RecPlex and we hope to see you all again soon!
Fantastic experience: Great place to workout. Clean and friendly.
Hi Riley, thank you for the review. We'll see you at your next workout!
Fantastic experience: The South port Rec Plex is a first class operation. Staff are pleasant and knowledgeable. The equipment is generally in top condition and there are stations for every exercise, many with duplicate or multiple stations. The facility is kept very clean. Occasional 'out of service' units are typically repaired quickly.Large wall TV's set to different stations offer visual relief between sets. The indoor running oval is 110 meters. Timing clocks hang from the ceiling, easy to see. Weight scale, sanitary wipes in abundance are complemented by generally polite and accommodating members. I have been a member for nearly 15 years and treasure it.
Hi Dean, thank you for your glowing review. As a longstanding member of Central Plains RecPlecx, it is wonderful to hear that you enjoy our facility. We'll see you at your next workout!

Fantastic experience: Staff are helpful and friendly. The current system of booking 2 hour time slots to come to the gym ensures appropriate occupancy during the pandemic. Keeping the gym sanitized between bookings is also appreciated. I wouldn't choose any other gym facility and the size of the rec plex makes physical distancing easy. So glad they are open again!!!!

Hi John, thank you for the review. We hope to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Best gym in the Portage Area hands down. Stride is too small, and Co-op is too old, grey, and janky. They have tons of weights, machines, and bars, 3 squat racks + Smith machine, 3 dedicated bench press benches, 5 more adjustable free weight benches, lots of cardio variety too, isolated mirror spaces, free rent lockers with keys, a running track, free rock climbing anytime for members, fitness classes if you want, and they have the same price as Stride or Co-op. As a certified Elite fitness coach, and holder of a Kinesiology degree, this is the un-contestable best gym in the area.
Hi Brad, thank you for taking the time to write this review. We are pleased that you enjoy our facility and hope to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Not busy. Immediately orders new items on request, very friendly. Open access to the rock climbing wall for members, if you dare!
Fantastic experience: Beautiful facility - lots of equipment and the staff are very friendly.
Negative experience: Booked my sons party here & they kicked us out of the multi purpose room we booked right away i could have paid the difference for another hour but they wouldn't allow us. the workers were rude & would watch us through the cameras like we were thieves while were tried to sit and enjoy our food, the people who cleaned up also stood and stared waiting for us to leave while we tried to eat our food. We also booked the gym and was specifically told the kids would be allowed to play with the gym equipment but they didn't let them play with anything. First and last time booking here. Going with stride place next time worth dishing out more money for better service. Was told we couldn't book it an extra hour because there was another party and when ask again if there was really another party but one of my guests the person who was working replied with "no who said that?" .

Negative experience: After 3yrs membership with Rec Plex, staff removed items out of my “locked” locker and items were stolen. I was handed my toiletries in a garbage bag from the Manager. He then stated that my items were possibly donated & that I was called. I had not received a call or a message. When I asked what number they called he couldn’t find me in their systems nor could He find my paperwork. I wanted to discontinue my membership & was told by the manager to cancel it at my bank. The Manager (Mark) was rude & did not offer an apology. He acted as though It was an inconvenience. I called their financial department myself to cancel my membership. After 3yrs I’m saddened by lack of care & customer service.

Fantastic experience: Rock Climbing is amazing for kids. The staff have helped our friends and kids on their first visit several times in the last few months. The staff are knowledgable and helpful. It's a great activity for kids. They can push themselves and try to get a little higher each attempt!
