    Had 2 kids attend this daycare. Staff is very friendly and good with kids but their accounting dept is terrible. They constantly make mistakes and over charge. When you finally get a hold of them they make excuses not to return the money and give you the run around. For this very reason I would recommend if you go with this centre do not do any sort of automatic payments. My children are no longer there yet the took money from our account without consent and now we're getting the runaround again to get our money back.

    A great place full of Heritage and Italian culture .........on July 25th , 2018 the Preservation Office of the City of Toronto has declared Columbus Centre a place of interest, therefore Columbus Centre has been registered in the Toronto's registry, as a Heritage place, in order to preserve it. The Italian Canadians Coltures, history and traditions are considered very important by the City of Toronto being part of the multicultural history of the GTA.

    I visited the athletic facilities. The squash courts with the glass back wall are much better than the ones in the basement. Overall the place is very clean and the facilities are good. I don't know why the pool closes earlier than the rest of the athletic facilities. Also it is a bit on the pricey side compared to other gyms.

    Absolutely horrible how they are discriminating against people based on their medical status. My rating is actually zero stars because even a 1 star is too high of a rating. Me and my family have supported this facility for decades having had multiple celebrations in their venues and was a member at the fitness centre...now they basically threw me out like a piece of trash. Shame on these people. Now they are denying my children the ability to go swimming because they won't allow me or my spouse to accompany them. I will never recommend this place to anyone ever again.

    Great community, amazing organization, lots to do all season, check it out if you live in the area. From music, to art, to restaurant, to out door activities, to gym, to yoga, to day care, classes in abundance for all your needs. Staff are super sweet. Highly recommended it. March 2023...it's open and running events normally.

    I’ve come here on and off for years, but my dad has been a long-time health club member and loves it. There’s an indoor pool, tennis courts, a restaurant, gym, fitness classes, upper level track, and much more. The gym itself has significantly improved too, including pretty much every machine you can think of! The age range of members really varies, from high schoolers to older adults. I recently started personal training as well. Both Mercedes and Kabir have been incredibly supportive and helpful throughout what typically would be a very intimidating process. I love that goal setting isn’t based on just the scale, it’s about a complete life change to make progress sustainable!!

    Found out about this Community Centre while looking for a venue to hold my sisters party. They have different sized party rooms with very reasonable prices. For the room we booked, the Columbus Room, we don't pay for the venue we pay for the in house catering for a minimum of 40ppl (we had 50pax in the end). They had a variety of price options for the menu, their food is very good, and they also had a reasonable price for the open bar and other amenities. The best part about our experience was their staff, they made sure to take care of our family throughout the whole process and they were with us throughout the evening.

    I've been coming here since 2009 and love the atmosphere and the mutual respect. I am happy that the men's room have been totally renovated.

    They should definitely rename this place ! As a BIPOC individual I wouldn’t take my kids there. We probably can’t afford it anyways 🙄

    I have been taking classes with Juliana and I'm so appreciative of all her work. She's so knowledgeable and motivational. She takes her time and she's showing the exercises and modifications. Her energy is also incredibly infectious. I take her Monday classes and coming into the room to see her smile and warm welcome makes you want to get exercising and go hard. I would recommend that everyone have her as a teacher. I hope to one day have her as a trainer! Mercedes' steps and strengths class is also a fun one. She plays great music and really works hard at getting the class motivated and make sure we enjoy ourselves. She's a great instructor with a bubbly personality. She's awesome!

    They are stealing people's money, I was doing fine at first, but then I wanted to cancel my membership, then they told me that I had an agreement with them and that I had to pay for 6 months, and they still continue to withdraw money from my account every month. It's a terrible place. If you want to go here, change your mind immediately.

    When I registered, they said you can cancel your memebership whenever you wanted. I went for 2 months and then they said I had a contract with them and they continue to take my money every month even though I don't go to the gym.

😠 I came to the gym tonight. The lady at the front desk was having issue with another gym member. I scanned my membership and wanted to proceed to the gym, Homehr.

🫤 This gym was pretty reasonable for a while, given the perks of the black card membership. However since the beginning of the summer, it has been absolutely crowded with young high-school aged teens that show up in groups of 4 and higher chatting around the equipment. I recently realized that high-sc...
