    I was a member here for 8 years. While I have a ton of good memories from playing soccer here, unfortunately it's all marred by at least a dozen incidents that I see as blatant racism. Yes some of these were by other members (e.g. team captain banning foreign languages), but at least half involved NSC and Timberwolves staff. Unfortunately reporting these to higher management lead to absolutely no change whatsoever. Overall, as an immigrant and a minority individual, I don't rate NSC as culturally safe. Sad that for a bunch of services, I can't really recommend an alternative in PG (because there is none).

    Let's start from the begining, boxing bags were removed except upstairs immediately in front of other people working out so it was extremely uncomfortable to use & when brought back it was what 1 bag in the room? The equipment regularly didnt work properly. Children until recently were allowed to climb all over equipment and disrupt work outs. They never emailed me or called to state they were reopening DURING A PANDEMIC & then charged me causing me to be also charged 40 dollars overdraft since I hadn't known they were even opening again yet otherwise I'd of had the funds ready. They have all my info to charge my bank but cant give me a simple refund despite having direct deposit forms. So now I get to risk covid in their plague-den they created by opening during a PANDEMIC. I would NOT recommend the gym. Go literally anywhere else. No Im not going to wait weeks for a cheque to then have to take it to a bank. I've already have had to wait how long just to hear from you?!

    Really like this gym! Front staff are friendly and it’s super cheap for healthcare students which is a bonus. Has multiple areas so you can find a spot that isn’t too crowded. Has everything you need, but doesn’t have every weight training machine in the world. Track is great if you’re a runner. Would be nice if you didn’t have to pay for parking though.

    Been going here for a few years and it's my favorite gym in PG. Weight rooms could be bigger/have more equipment as they get pretty crowded during peak hours, but the track upstairs with other equipment in the corners makes up for it. Staff is nice as well as the people who workout here

    Lot security police the parking lot HARD! I was barely parked before two of them were looking for proof of payment for parking. They must experience terrible vandalism in this underutilized parking lot. Not even half full at 8am. After getting my gym bag together I was approached again with more information about pay codes and temporary parking passes. Not the most comfortable feeling knowing I am being watched and policed here. I can only presume there have been terrible things happening in the rec centre parking lot. Also, 13 dollars to use the fitness room. Most expensive rec centre I have visited in BC during this summer of travelling. Astounding.

    I've been working out here for just over the past year and I have nothing but good things to say about the place. There are tons of machines which are all new, clean and maintained well. The staff are super friendly and helpful. Plus they're tons of classes offered free with a membership. Only negative thing about the place is the mediocre older water fountains.

  • 5/5 Jaron P. 7 years ago on Google
    Always loved being able to just walk in anytime during school and spend time at this gym. The top track is a bit small and you run around it to fast but there are good basketball courts, weight rooms and much more. I personally loved going to the spin classes in the mornings! The instructors are great and really keep you motivated during the morning workouts. If your thinking of heading to UNBC its a great gym within a couple minute walk to the school and residence and its very cheap for a student (like a one time payment of $10).

  • 5/5 Dan W. 5 years ago on Google
    One of the top options in the city for indoor workouts. The track is the main draw in my mind, but there's also a ton of cardio options, scheduled classes, as well as the usual weight rooms. The juice bar is a nice addition

    This facility is great, but they need to keep the bathrooms on the field levels unlocked as we our athletes running up a flight of stairs to use the restrooms. A few our kids almost had accidents. Other than that, friendly staff as always! Our kids love it there!

    Pretty good gym among BC universities

  • 1/5 White Peak A. 6 months ago on Google
    Roof of this building is leaking everywhere upstairs. They turn the ventilation off at night to save cost which is against the building code. Mould in the change rooms they neglect to fix. Parking passes and the rules around them are ridiculous. Facility is over priced due to having basketball, soccer and squash courts but they are always booked up for tournaments.

  • 1/5 Sonic F. 6 months ago on Google
    The parking passes are a joke they are only good for 1 vehicle and if you don’t have it with you they expect you to pay additional on your membership to use the gym and won’t issue a temporary pass which they have a stack of behind the counter.

    Nice sports center located at university. Helpful staff and lots of space for various services.

  • 1/5 Brandon L. 6 months ago on Google
    Black mould in the men’s change room downstairs reported it 2x, it’s been months and has not been fixed.

😠 I had eaten there prior to it closing. Worst service and food ive had at a restaurant in a long time. We had ordered wings--on "wing night" and it took over 45 mins for them to come out. When they did, they were so small and dry like they were sitting out for a long time. Also, the price for them wa...
