YMCA: Opinions
Positive experience: All the equipment you need to get a great workout in.
Fantastic experience: Small gym, amazing staff.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful atmosphere and community, nice judgement free place to exercise and better yourself, no matter what your goals are
Positive experience: The gym is spacious enough, the machines are older and outdated but they do the trick. The complaint is some of the leg machines do not fit if you have long leg’s. It seems most of the people there are friendly community vibes. Good gym if you’re just starting off going and want a good cheap gym option.
Fantastic experience: Great spot love the people working there
Fantastic experience: I've been a member there now for about a month and it already feels like an essential part of my weekly routine. One of the reasons why the place scores so highly is that the staff is welcoming to people of all ages. The vive's rather diverse. There's a basketball court inside the facility so there are a lot of young people running around and shooting hoops, and there's also a group of older folks that participate in some of the group exercise classes, there's also a small group of men and women that are really there to pump iron so there's pretty much something for everybody. Much of the equipment is on the older side but they also have a broad assortment of machines. The facilities are very clean and cleanliness is made a priority. The membership rates are extremely affordable. That's part of the community effect. It's a community center and has been priced accordingly. If you're looking for a local charity to contribute this holiday season this place would be highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Good place to be in for workout sessions
Positive experience: Very good gym, some old equipment but it still works well
Fantastic experience: My girlfriend was with me so 5 stars
Fantastic experience: Visiting from Alberta for a few weeks, and the YMCA was the perfect place for me to go for my morning workouts. The facility was extremely clean and the front desk employee Lindsey was very helpful and kind. Thank you for an amazing few weeks
Negative experience: Not pet friendly!
Positive experience: Nice intimate facility with really friendly staff.
Negative experience: Management allows certain members to not adhere to gym policies, causing unsanitary and, at times, a hostile environment. The facility is often overcrowded, and equipment that breaks remains so for months. It was the worst YMCA I have ever gone to. That being said, there are volunteers and staff who truly care and advocate for a better facility. I fear that without a major change in the way the facility is managed, it will only get worse.
Fantastic experience: Awesome classes and inclusive atmosphere!! Sam is amazing!
Fantastic experience: Great gym and friendly people!!
Positive experience: Great gym. My son signed up again. Lots of different equipment to help you get active and classes as well.
Negative experience: Tried it out the other day and won't be returning. The staff I dealt with were not so friendly and not professional. No thank you.
Fantastic experience: Amazing helpful staff and great facility for young or old.
Positive experience: Well maintained
Positive experience: Day pass not super affordable for all but great place.
Fantastic experience: Amazing space for all your workout needs.
Positive experience: For gym options in the area this is probably the best you're gonna get for the best rate. The staff is incredibly kind and helpful and are definitely the highlight of this location. Theres lots of equipment, whatever you're looking to do you can do it here. However some equipment is very limited. one squat rack is very sad for a gym this size. Also a lot of equipment is well used with lots of damage and wear and tear.
Fantastic experience: Love the gym. Friendly atmosphere.
Fantastic experience: Good service I didn't sign up but still helpful

Fantastic experience: Great. Nice to see full house
Positive experience: A good weight room for training and a good selection of cardio machines. Friendly people and staff. A wide variety of classes are offered. There are dry saunas in both changing rooms. Very competitive rates
Positive experience: I've been to quite a few gyms across the province, and this one sticks out to me. The staff are wonderful, if you're interested in lifting weights or doing cardio this gym should have everything you need.
Fantastic experience: An amazing place to be....enjoy the staff (,super, super friendly) and enjoy the atmosphere of the gym. Equipment, helpful, clean, all the things you want a gym and fitness place to be.

Positive experience: I have been a member since 1995. The Y has great staff and is a clean facility offering a community and family oriented experience.
Positive experience: Gym is clean and comfortable. The staff are very friendly but it is a small facility though it gets the job done. REALLY WISH THE GYM WAS OPEN AT 5am ... I would never miss a morning.
