Kind and polite staff. They have different activities for people to take part in. But who have to take a swim in the pool. If you haven't and you like to swim, it's beautiful. A wonderful experience. Great location. Check it out the online for more info. May God Bless you. Cheers. πŸ™πŸ˜€πŸ˜·πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘β€πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

    This is one of the best places I've worked out in Ottawa. Everybody there seems to be very friendly. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Compared to the YMCA I found this place a thousand times better! To each his to own

  • 4/5 Maria M. 8 months ago on Google
    Place is very good for basic work out. Also, for people who need to work out for physio - rehabilitation purposes. Gym is clean and staff are nice. Very helpful to me after knees replacement surgery, to continue my special and regular exercising.

  • 4/5 Bryce D. 5 years ago on Google
    Outside of needing a bigger gym this community centre is a perfect fit for the golden triangle. Good staff and service, but especially good for those rehabbing from injury or with physical limitations.

  • 3/5 Jason 5 years ago on Google
    Cheap gym but zero oversight in it

  • 4/5 Inonge A. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice community centre and amazing staff. This is a great centre to try if anyone is interested in swimming lessons. They have a clean heated pool. Love music and dance, thinking of joining the dance class. For all the art lovers, there are new art classes starting soon.

    i went to the after shcool program a few years ago and it was actually really good it had good counselors. i also went to elgin so it was nice that there was a comunity center near us so... yea! it was cool i recomend!

  • 3/5 Son A. 5 years ago on Google
    It is a beautiful center with its gym and its pool, the only inconvenient are those who come to chat in the pool with enough impertinence and bother all who want to swim and do a little exercise. Two people talking are capable on the line, they are able to hamper swimming and exercise five. I think the lifeguards would have to take measures to get these discontented and disrespectful. I think the pool is for swimming and not for meetings for pep talks. .

    Nice hot water pool in basement! Shallow but good for little laps and exercise.

    Love the warm water pool. My son who is nervous about swimming has really taken to this smaller pool and the kind swimming instructors

  • 3/5 Sally T. 9 months ago on Google
    Was here for a meeting. The room was very large. It easily accomodated the 20+ people who attended. The elevator to the second floor is too small to accomodate more than one person in a wheelchair at a time, so it took us awhile to all get there. Didn't use the washroom.

  • 4/5 Enas A. 1 year ago on Google
    I visited the center today, This community center is lovely and boasts a clean environment with friendly staff. The gym is top-notch, offering a comprehensive selection of equipment for all your workout needs. They offer various programs from time to time! Check them out!

  • 4/5 Jo A. 1 year ago on Google
    I liked the facility from what I saw of it. I went to play badminton with a group of ladies but the front desk didn't know that was going on. Can't blame them though if it's not in their calendar. Anyways. We had a grand time whacking the shuttlecock around. I'll be back next week.
