This is a bit of an older centre, but could still merit 4 stars since it has a few things going for…read moreit: a warm kiddie/family pool, squash courts, multipurpose rooms available to rent (and you can rent the pool itself for parties), and a few other things. But what bothers me about this place are some of the patrons, and the lack of action on behalf of staff. My son has been coming here for lessons a couple weeks now, and it's common to see several parents walking through the showers and onto the pool deck with outdoor shoes on. You can literally see dirty water form whenever someone does this, and that's going in the pool or what your showing amongst. It's sad that it's not common knowledge and practice for all people to avoid this, but the facility also has a responsibility to post signs and enforce these rules. Both times I've spoken with staff, they agree with me but never acknowledge that they will do something about it and try to pass responsibility. (I.e. "talk to someone else). It speaks to the culture of this particular centre, as there's other city run facilities which don't have this issue. Please Loafer's Lake: address this.

I came here recently for a model train show. The venue was fine, though it was a bit cramped in the…read moreice arena. I had two issues with the place though: first, parking is tight and it was practically full by the time it opened. This isn't a direct fault of the venue as the hosting train club should have picked a larger area. Second, no ATM is on premises and for a train show this is terrible. You need money to buy trains (at least I do)! That all being said, it worked.

This newer location was bigger, more spacious, and had more obstacles and areas such as dodgeball & volleyball arena and arcade games (which you can play after finished with going through the obstacle course). I really liked the diversity of all of the courses. For some of them, you can choose the 'easy' or 'hard' version. Once you finish going through all of the obstacles in the course (which took ~30-45 minutes), you can play dodgeball, volleyball, arcade games, giant Jenga, giant 4-In-A-Row, try scaling up one of the vertical walls, or go through any of the obstacles again. Staff were all super friendly and energetic, from the ones who greeted us at the front and helped us check in, to the ones who explained the rules once inside. Useful tips: - Sign the waiver online to save time when checking in. - Bring a lock or you can purchase one at the front desk for $4. - There is ample parking space in the parking lot right outside the building, and TTC bus stop is 2-8 minutes walk (depending on which bus # you take). - There is a vending machine where you can purchase drinks. - It's better to wear long pants or leggings instead of shorts because in some obstacles, there are 'slides' component and parts where the surface can rub hard against the skin (and pants also do a better job at protecting the knee when crawling).

Great place. I used to go to Goodlife, but once we saw what they offered families, it was a good…read moreswitch. I like that they have an indoor running track - being a runner myself - which is especially useful in the winter, or even just as a better alternative than a treadmill. Otherwise, fairly standard gym area and never too crowded. There's also a pool, which you won't have at most other gyms. I'm personally into group classes since they keep me more motivated and interested than working out alone on a machine. Some really good classes and teachers. The only downside at times is if you just have a so-so teacher, since they're given license to plan the class. That can be an upside too if you have a really good teacher, but sometimes with other teachers you may not feel as challenged and/or feel a muscle group wasn't really targeted (at Goodlife, they have standardized classes which doesn't really matter who's teaching). I do enjoy that the group classes have a true 'group' feeling to them, and people will talk with each other. There's also a good balance of men in the group classes, so it isn't awkward like it often was a Goodlife in that sense. A huge value is having the family pass. The big payoff is once your child reaches 3, then they can be in child minding for free during your workout. The kids have options like a 2 story play structure, rather than just being a daycare-environment room. Most of the classes are included in the membership too, so our son has swimming lessons and multi-sports at no extra charge. This was the main reason we chose to join. Downside is the change area. It's very much like a public rec centre rather than a gym or a club with tiled floors, showers which take 2 minutes to get hot water and so on. There is a 'plus' area, which is more of a club environment. It has a steam room and whirlpool. I'd really love these, but it's literally a couple hundred extra dollars a year which is too much right now with a young family. Other gyms like Goodlife have a sauna for everyone, so I don't really like having to pay what is standard for most others. Only reason I can't give a 5 star, but I do really recommend this place.
