    I been there many times for my sports social nights, class trips, Thinking ahead nights, summer camp and dances. It's a very special place for all people to come and have a great time here.

    Hours have changed during covid, however the hours have not gone back to what they were pre-covid. So if you are looking for a membership mostly for the gym? It's not it worth it to get one here anymore. Especially that the membership fees have increased to the prices of other gyms or facilities. You're better off joining Good-Life or a similar facility like the YMCA etc.

    I love playing basketball here it's amazing. 3 full size NBA courts. My only issue is I really think you guys should pay a little more attention to the public that pays a monthly fee because almost everytime I call you guys are booked out leaving no time for public to use the gym and kinda defeats paying for a monthly membership. Like I said I love this place but I think you guys need to do something about the bookings and be a little more thoughtful to the public. Still giving 5 stars tho, but just a thought.

    Honestly, I joined the centre for the indoor track so that my dad could get in his walking but I have enjoyed coming in for the personal training, fitness classes and regular gym equipment. I’ve never been able to get into the gym consistently until the Abilities centre. The staff are friendly and the environment is so inclusive.

  • 5/5 Debra G. 7 months ago on Google
    My son enjoys his personal training sessions, unfortunately they’re extremely expensive. The facility is immaculate and the staff are friendly and courteous. My son has been on the waiting list for the Thrive Day Program forever. I understand the waiting list is extensive, given this, perhaps it would be prudent to have two Thrive Programs runnng? Given the demand for such programs in Durham, it’s certainly worth considering.

  • 5/5 Katiuska S. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic facility! Indoor track is perfect for all your running training, from speed work to easy runs to tempo. Outstanding place. Tons of different activities offered for all ages. Different weight rooms, cardio yoga. So glad that I can get to enjoy what this place has to offer. Worth the drive of 15 minutes each way every single time.

  • 5/5 Mehrzad H. 1 year ago on Google
    I was in the Abilities Centre to watch some parasport games. The building was well equipped with different kind of activity equipment. It was fully accessible and perfect for people on wheelchairs. The most impressive thing about this centre was its name: Abilities centre; it sees abilities in every person and it seemed to me that they truly committed to see that.

  • 5/5 Linsay M. 1 year ago on Google
    Such amazing and helpful staff! The classes with Pete are a must... He will cater to everyone's fitness level and is very encouraging. I'm a gym newbie, so I appreciate everything about this place and think it's a perfect spot to start my long-overdue fitness adventure.

    we rented a party hall.. a very nice facility . very clean and friendly staff..cudos to the management

  • 5/5 John C. 2 years ago on Google
    "Joe" personal trainer/staff member is awesome. He took the time to explain each machine and to suggest that a well rounded work out is better than a targeted one for my situation. Cardio for me and he has me on the bike one day and the machines the next. Awesome guy.

  • 5/5 HodHod P. 1 year ago on Google
    My first experience at this place and it has been very pleasant with nice and friendly staff and state of the art facility and equipments. What led me to this place was their recent program for pickleball. My only issue is that pickleball is offered at a court which is lined as a badminton court and sadly they are not even offering any badminton programs 🙄

  • 4/5 Sophie A. 1 year ago on Google
    Pros: Staff are always friendly and pretty approachable I love that there are wheelchair accessible weight machines All gym areas are great and usually clean Cons: There could be more wheel chair accessible weight machines It’s hard to find staff at times in the open court area to lend us a ball The basketball nets are not lowered for people who are physically disabled/ there’s no other section for shorter nets

  • 4/5 Sally T. 1 year ago on Google
    Was here for a sport event for PWD. EXCELLENT multi-use facility. Totally accessible with washroom/shower facilities. Lots of other rooms for other events. Not sure why it closed so early - 15h00 on a Saturday. Missing out on LOTS of opportunity to have more programs.
