Guelph Gryphons Athletics Centre

Expérience fantastique: Best gym to workout in Guelph, nothing beats this.

Expérience négative: During peak usage hours (after 5 PM), the ventilation systems in most of the halls are turned off. This makes the halls unusable due to extreme heat and an incredibly substandard ventilation system. After expressing our concerns to the staff, we received astonishing suggestions such as opening the hall doors or using ice packs in case of heat exhaustion. Unfortunately, our complaints are not being addressed.

Expérience fantastique: Visited for my son's convocation. Proud day!! Due to COVID, I was my first day on campus in his four years!!

Expérience fantastique: Great gym. A bit too hot inside. Lots of seating in the lobby. Did not bench 225.

Expérience positive: Awesome facility. Change rooms are a little dusty and the gym floor itself is busy as hell but great gym overall!

Expérience fantastique: This is amazing. Very big sports complex, for all people. You can work out or practice almost any sport there.

Expérience fantastique: Nice facility

Expérience fantastique: Very good place for sports, swimming and gym.

Expérience positive: Very expensive unless you are a student.

Expérience fantastique: Like Playing basketball here

Expérience fantastique: Go Gryphons!!!!

Expérience positive: Went to see my great niece and her team of cheer leaders participated in a great contest.

Expérience fantastique: Great facilities, friendly staff and general a great athletics center.

Expérience fantastique: Great venue for a cheer competition! Found parking ok, washrooms close to entrance, found seating too.

Expérience positive: Can you guys please fix the steam sauna? The quality has been inadequate since the announcement of COVID-19. It smells soooo bad in there and the steam doesn’t work. I brought my friend one time and he had to walk out immediately. The only reason I stayed in there is cause I’m used to it. Do you guys not clean it anymore? Maybe get a guy to come clean it more often cause even at 10-11 AM that place will smell like things I don’t wanna say. On top of that, the steam room isn’t even hot anymore. The last 10 times I’ve been to Guelph I’ve only experienced the steam go off once. Don’t tell me it resets on a timer because there were multiple times where I tested it and waited an 1 hour so if you’re tryna tell me it takes more than 1 hour to reset the steam setting than that is absurd. When the steam goes off I shouldn't be able to see the person beside me…Overall the gym is a great place but your negligence of the steam room is a vibe killer for most because that is our recovery. All we discuss within the steam room is how it has gone to the ground. Let’s get to work !

Expérience fantastique: Great school arena, don't have anything like it in the Netherlands

Expérience fantastique: It is what it is.

Expérience fantastique: 1

Expérience fantastique: My granddaughters convocation was there

Expérience positive: Gym is good, but too many cardio machines.

Expérience fantastique: Fantastic place. High quality floors! Beautiful basketball courts.

Expérience fantastique: Very clean, bright, new facilities and lots of parking.

Expérience fantastique: Exceptional facility..fitness , recreational and varsity sports

Expérience fantastique: As a community member and UofG alumnus, I thoroughly benefit from this fabulous facility and feel a sense of belonging - both!

Expérience fantastique: Great Facility! Has everything you need to really achieve your athletic goals, i love it!

Expérience fantastique: Great facility at UG, we were in a basketball tournament - everything was clean.

Expérience fantastique: Guelph stands out with their university town. Super clean. They have special dogs that chase off the geese hence property is very pleasant. Athletics Center is awesome. Already one big reason this uni is being considered in our choices.

Expérience négative: I give them one star not because of the facilities and the athletic center, but because of the registration process. I have registered for the personal trainer in a group of 3 for 5 sessions, after registration and full payment, 3 weeks has passed and nobody contacted for the sessions. I just received an email that I have to find 2 other people otherwise the sessions are canceled !!! Nobody told me at the registration that it is my responsibility to find other members of the group and it is not written in the website as well. I am really dissatisfied about this service.

Expérience fantastique: Enjoyed a fundraiser event for the Squash team! Tournament was run very efficiently . Students were friendly, organized and attentive ! Great job to the Griffins Squash team!

Expérience positive: Id like to start off by saying I love it here, it's a great place and it's helped so many people better themselves. It's cheap for students, clean, and everyone is extremely respectful, I am extremely happy with this gym. There are some downsides of course. There are many machines that are never touched, while there are lineups for other machines or benches. This gym could benefit greatly from having more than 2 leg presses or leg extension machines for sure.

Expérience positive: Good gym with good equipment.

Expérience positive: Great banquet space

Expérience fantastique: Best gym ever

Expérience positive: Love this place. Their phone never works though.

Expérience négative: Not well orgainized, no booking time for my activity

Expérience fantastique: Amazing facility

Expérience positive: Convocation was good. Not too long

Expérience fantastique: Great facility, always clean! Variety of sports within, lots to access and do.

Expérience positive: It seems like a good place, just a little hard to navigate around.

Expérience positive: This place is very feature-complete... but it's built like the backrooms and has barely any maps. Also they have tours regularly walk through the gym, that's pretty annoying. I did end up finding a few maps of the building in the gym, wish these were easier to come by!

Expérience fantastique: What a fantastic place!!! I belonged to 5 different universities before UoG, and Guelph Gryphons Athletics Centre is the best gym ever!! Go to the gym right away!!!

Expérience fantastique: My nephew came from Toronto to play basketball here Saturday and he and his family were so impressed. They claimed it was by far superior to where they played in Ottawa. It would have been nice to have vending machines and even better, food Trucks as we had to leave the campus to eat. But all in all it was a great experience.

Expérience fantastique: Best gym ever

Expérience fantastique: Love this place so much.

Expérience fantastique: As a University of Guelph student, I love having a gym membership. it's a good price for students, and they have so much to offer! there's a regular gym where you can work out on your own basis, and then there are fitness classes with an instructor and it's really fun! I believe you also have an option to get a fitness trainer with the membership, though I've never opted for one. as well, there are recreational sports where you can make use of the facilities and play sports like basketball, volleyball, badminton, and swimming! the rock climbing wall is additional, but I think it's really cool that the option is there! SO MUCH TO DO! if you go to the university or just live around the area, I think this membership is worth it!

Expérience fantastique: The rock wall staff are dope. My favourite place to be

Expérience fantastique: Fabulous venue for b-ball and lots of other stuff.

Expérience fantastique: Get place but fans should respect other people no vulgar language

Expérience positive: Good gym with good equipment.

Expérience fantastique: Has been an amazing part of my life even before working there. So #proudtobeagryphon

Expérience fantastique: Excellent. My #1 favourite gym. A bit expensive for people who aren't students at UoG but still worth the price for frequent gym goers in my opinion. Charges by the month with no sign up for non-students and by the semester for students.

Expérience fantastique: We are currently participating in a Futsal League here and University of Guelph has been top notch throughout the whole process. All persons are asked to do a COVID waiver check in upon entering and the staff do a really good job to make sure people are following the rules and keeping their distance during the matches. Very happy with the process and experience in the Futsal League at this location.

Expérience fantastique: My daughter's basketball team practices at this location. WOW, could not be luckier. Strict Covid guidelines are followed along with forms completed online prior to entering. Great job!

Expérience positive: Great facilities, friendly staff.

Expérience positive: Fine looking females go here. Gets kinda crowded at times

Expérience fantastique: New and modern.

Expérience fantastique: great prices and services

Expérience fantastique: Great gym to get into shape

Expérience fantastique: Great facility (although shower controls need attention)

Expérience fantastique: 2019 OVA Provincials great place

Expérience fantastique: This is a great gym. It is kept clean and we'll maintained and the gym floor is large enough to facilitate large crowds. During peak hours it can be very busy so be warned.

Expérience fantastique: Love the variety from badminton to swimming. Red Pool is soooo warm!

Expérience positive: GOOD

Expérience positive: Nice facility

Expérience positive: Small but decent climbing wall. No lead climbing unfortunately

Expérience positive: Don't get me wrong, it's a beautiful facility, but it's full to the brim 90% of the time. Should've planned bigger if they were going to build a gym on campus AND open the doors to public use.

Expérience positive: Renos have been good. I have been going here for about 10 years. Prices are too high for swimming for a day pass though. Should be a different price for swimming versus using the weight and fitness room since the pool hasn't been updated at all. It jumped from 4 dollars per session to 10 dollars over two years. Also having to sign twice every time I visit and get a day pass is a bit ridiculous.

Expérience fantastique: As a student here I absolutely love the classes, recreational Callander and service. It's always relatively clean and well organized.

Expérience fantastique: Go Gryphons go :). The only issue is paid parking! Otherwise, a great place to be.

Expérience fantastique: Fabulous

Expérience fantastique: Huge new renovated gym. It's very nice and clean

Expérience fantastique: Love working out here

Expérience fantastique: Great

Expérience fantastique: A beautiful gym with amazing equipment. Everything is so new and refreshing to look at.

Expérience fantastique: Idk if I was allowed or not, but I took a run on the track they had and it was nice

Expérience fantastique: Great brand new gym with good classes!

Expérience fantastique: I love U of G athletic facilities especially stadium and soccer complex. As an experienced soccer referee, I appreciate their passion toward soccer all the time. Perfect atmosphere for soccer! :)

Expérience fantastique: The gym is awesome! The yoga classes are high quality it's great that we have so many options to be active at the gym rather than just traditional working out!

Expérience fantastique: Love this gym, so affordable for students!

Expérience positive: A bit crowded

Expérience fantastique: Clean. Spacious. Great equipment, and plenty of it for the most part. Pleasant staff. Only thing, is that I'm a taller gent, and need a rack that I can OHP in and not hit any support bars overhead. They have two allowable options here, however they are usually taken and leaves long wait times for one to open up. They have about 6 or 7 other racks, tho all have support bars and I'd get zero range of motion then. Wish that all the racks were open style to allow for it (or at lease pins that can be set on the outside of the rack so nothing is overhead).

Expérience positive: Great new facility on the university of Guelph campus. Big new basketball gym, lots of team locker rooms, excellent weigh and cardio gym. Ties together with the old gym and pools in one building now. Has a "universal' locker room in addition to the men's and women's lockers - good for families or anyone not comfortable with the other change rooms and showers. Excellent, friendly staff always. Did I mention the climbing wall?

Expérience fantastique: Great bleachers and large gym
