Fantastic experience: Price can’t be beat ($3-5 per drop-in) and it’s spacious, clean, and has good vibes. Hours are limited, but I prefer going here for the price and equipment, opposed to a place open 24/7. Monday to Thursday: 5:30 am to 8 pm Friday: 5:30 am to 6 pm Weekends and holidays: 8 am to 4 pm I love working out alone here. Thanks to the nice staff!
Positive experience: Fantastic campus gym. Yoga is 10/10 recommended!!
Fantastic experience: It’s a nice place to play basketball. The price is pretty reasonable. And free parking everyday! Before you go there do yourself a favour. Check the schedule for the gym.
Fantastic experience: The university's rec centre is good. It's never over crowded and there's good ventilation throughout the center. The shower rooms are nice and clean. There's table-tennis, badminton and basketball court inside the rec center. There's even a seperate section for weights. Highly recommended for university students to take full advantage of these resources!
Fantastic experience: Really pleased with this facility. They have all the equipment one might need, fair prices, it’s located in a beautiful campus, and it never gets crazy busy where I need to wait 30 mins for an equipment.
Negative experience: Still require vax pass, out dated - would not support this low quality gym

I am very sorry for your recent experience with the Rec Centre staff. This is very disappointing as we take great pride in the quality of our customer service.
Positive experience: Beautiful sprung floor
Negative experience: Open up the swimming pool!! The facility has a beautiful swimming pool that has been covered up. It was the best part of the whole facility!!
Unfortunately the pool has been closed since 2003. However we will have a beautiful new Learning and Teaching Auditorium building in its place opening in a few months.
Fantastic experience: I went here for work only
Fantastic experience: Great place to get some shots up
Fantastic experience: All right guys. Get ready. This is by far THE best gym ive been too in the past month I travel full time and shower at gyms. GO TO THIS GYM. Shower feels like your floating in the clouds with God himself okay. Like a waterfall, in the clouds. The gym is big with tons of quality new equipment. FREE TOWEL RENTALS
Positive experience: My dog and I like to walk around the grounds. We meet a million other dogs, with people at the other end of the leash -- there is enough space for all of us. Dunno about the University facilities ( my wife loves the gym) but the grounds are great.

Fantastic experience: What are you looking for in a gym? Have you asked yourself? What is your philosophy of use? Reflect and ask yourself what you are looking for. This University Based Gym on the Campus of Royal Roads University is a small medium gym with free-weights, cable machines, treadmills, stair climbers, stair-masters, personal trainer access, squash courts, 1/2 basketball courts with access of badminton, pickle ball, separate aerobics room, hosts events like boot-camp, yoga, spin classes (sign up required), they also offer bike rentals to explore the historic campus, this gym has access to showers and fresh towels, squat racks and bench press. Times vary, however, I've never had to wait for a bench for types of workouts. Staff here are very nice, friendly, it's service with a smile. You may borrow locks as well.
Positive experience: Gym is pretty good, could have some newer weights in the weight room. But it's nice because it's rarely very busy. the aerobics studio is a great size, staff has always been friendly. The change rooms are nice as well.
Positive experience: Overall a good place to workout. The squash courts need to be refurbished as there are too many dead spots on the walls and floor. Plenty of gym equipment to use.
Positive experience: decent equipment not too busy
Positive experience: Basketball court? Drop in too?
Positive experience: An okay place for me.
Negative experience: A couple of machine on a basketball court,as Micky mouse As Disney.
Fantastic experience: Great location hidden away in the RRU forest. Old and rustic building but all the equipment you need is there. No line-ups or waiting. Awesome friendly staff and I love that sometimes there is a dog helping with greeting the customers. Reminds me a little of the gym in Dodgeball.
