I don't recommend CGC. They charge twice as much as other pools for youth swim classes, and after I…read morebooked a class we were not actually eligible to participate in, I was told I could only receive a refund in person. I expect this is done to discourage people from actually seeking a refund, and seems like an incredibly outdated practice. I've never experienced any other kind of vendor that doesn't refund over the phone.

I like to workout. I…read moremean "I'm a gym rat" kind of work out. If I could live at the gym I would. It's what happens when you lose a lot of weight and actually come to realize you like doing crazy things like run marathons, complete triathlons and lift heavy stuff. As a newer member to CGC I have to say I'm pretty impressed with the set up. The cost is reasonable too at about $50/month for a year membership. I haven't taken any classes so I can't vouch for that portion of the gym but I do hang out upstairs in the cardio room quite a bit and so far so good. They tell me it's not too busy during the morning/day. As of yet I've never had to wait for a treadmill. When it is feeling a little "packed" I'll go run laps on the indoor track. It's a great way to get in some nice cross training in between some push ups or perfecting the pull-up. My favorite part about CGC is the pool(s). Olympic standard size and as of yet never too busy to not get a lane. Instead of chloride as standard chemical cleaner they use bromide (much gentler on the skin). Locker rooms (both wet and dry options) are spacious. Lockers themselves are big for that over stuffed gym bag. Showers are kind of funky but once you get the hang of them they're not too bad. And while I don't frequent Subway, it's very convenient to be able to grab a little nosh on the way out.

They should be reminded on a regular basis everything is donated to them. I will never step foot in a Valu Village store again. don't get me started on the high prices they stick on the donated items.

So many judges out there, searching for every reason to be dissatisfied with anything, and anyone now days. Instead of complaining, we should all make an effort to look for the good in this very broken world that we live in. We in North America are beyond spoiled rotten and have NO idea what it is to live without food and clean water, clean air to breathe, to live without the basic necessities of life. So, the next time we want to complain, maybe we should all take inventory of our own short comings for we ALL have them, nobody is perfect in any way, shape or form. Let us all be kind and appreciate what we have. A reminder - we are still a country without war. We still have a Value Village; be thankful. :)

Okay. Obviously this is a community rec center. I have to review this anyways. Yes there are plenty…read moreof things you can do, but that doesn't excuse this for the bad service and over-priced sessions! The people at the front desk feel like they are being forced to work under payed, and the activities are trainer - less, meaning you combined with the 10 other people who payed are just paying rent for the room they provide you. Yes, a volunteer to does come to see you and to ensure that no fight goes on, but there is no trained or anything. I mean, why pay $60 when you can gather some friends and play Soccer or basketball in the court or on grass? You are only paying to play with other people who are paying to play with you...

So, I can't comment on the entire place, because this visit was just to the "Wave Pool" but one…read morething I must say is: Holy cow! The place is looking great! Not the same rec. centre we used to go to when we were kids! Now, on to the Wave Pool... As I mentioned, I've been going to the Wave Pool since I was a kid. I spent a LOT of time learning backstroke and front crawl in that pool. It seemed deeper back then... Anyways, the pool is still great. It looks almost exactly the same as when I was a kid except there's some new equipment (a climbing wall in the deep end for kids...HOW COOL!!) and you don't have to pay for the inner-tubes anymore! I like this pool because it's good for swimming laps, just hanging out with friends or taking little kids swimming. It's got a gradual slope so it starts about ankle deep and moves out to 6 feet in the deepest part. Every 15 minutes, during family swims, they turn on the waves. Kinda fun as an adult, EPIC FUN as a kid (especially if you can grab one of those inner-tubes!) The place is pretty clean, but be warned: The locker rooms are FREEZING and sometimes have pretty sloppy floors. Other than that small issue, this is an awesome place to take your kids or just go swim some laps!

I started going to the wave pool when it first opened, and ad not been back for about 15 years…read moreuntil recently. There have been major renovations outside the pool, but the pool itself is still the same great pool it always has been. The prices are low, but have gone up since some of the prior reviews. We just put our daughter into swimming lessons and the instructors seem to do a great job with the kids making sure they are teaching to their level. My lane swims cost me $4.00 even, and the parent and tot swims are $4.50 but we will probably be getting a family pass in the near future. Great place, and if you've never been in a pool with indoor waves, I'd highly suggest checking it out.
