    Generally I love the downtown Y. The diversity of people, all class backgrounds at different fitness levels I feel pretty at home. The weight room can be a bit intimidating with lots of muscle guys at times but as i get more comfortable with using free weights it seems less intimidating and that most people are just busy doing their thing or will offer tips if you are struggling. Don't miss out on the rooftop garden, track and area for stretching. I only just discovered this! The $2 towel is a bit much in my opinion but i just bring my own. the rental locks are very tricky so bring your own sometimes the women's washroom is a bit gross they do clean it very regularly but there is a lot of traffic and its not a new facility. I have only once had a bitchy staff member, she was likely just having an off day like we all can, mostly they are awesome.

    Worst gym ever! They are not professional, but my son likes going here. I could go on, but who wants to hear my rant. .

    The people and the vibe here is the best! We had a wonderful time getting in a little basketball on our trip. Thank you.

    Visited this YMCA as my friend is a member, and I checked in to register myself and 2 kids, boy (8) and girl (6) to go swimming.

    I found another fantastic Zara Man jacket in excellent condition! $23 with donation coupon discount…read more20% so great deal at around $18. I love this location at Bloor West and Landsdowne.

    I really like this store, very much. I live right, RIGHT downtown and yet I journey out to this…read morelocation on a Tuesday for Geriatrics Day and I love not only the outing, but the treasure hunt. Over and above the great discount on geriatrics day - as a member of their loyalty program I am incentivised by emails offering further discounts, and recently a free reusable bag for my purchases. So well done V V for engaging customers like me. Now about the store specifically - there is ALWAYS a treasure to be found. I do a lot with office stationery and the selection here is ever changing and I always find the right things I need - binders, journals, page dividers, sheet protectors, address labels for the printer - the list goes on. And the prices are a tiny fraction what you would pay at Staples or elsewhere; plus they are 99% of the time brand new, unopened, so the savings is huge. I have a tiny great niece and nephew and the myriad of books and toys and things for them is staggering - I have to show restraint! I do look at clothing too primarily T Shirts - I have found many with original tags on them from the shop they were purchased from. I have no problem buying these as gifts as they are unworn and unused as well for myself. The staff at this location are engaging too. I think they take a lot of abuse - like elsewhere these days and I don't for a minute think they deserve that. Any I have dealt with have been very pleasant and helpful and certainly engaging. I often wonder when people bitch about the staff - if it wasn't they themselves who are the nasty ones - NOT the staff. They are not predisposed to being unpleasant but I suppose they can be if approached by a negative and miserable nasty customer - which there is no need for. There is NEVER a need for unpleasantness. I like this store very much or I would not journey on TTC from downtown. I will be terribly sad when this branch closes, which is the inevitable as they are slated to close I understand. So while we have this location I shall continue to go and enjoy my journey and treasure hunt. Finally I hear people bitch about pricing. The simple solution is to remember - people vote with their dollars - if you don't like the prices - GO ELSEWHERE, no one cares about your unsolicited opinion. Do you bitch about the prices in every shop you enter? This is a for-profit shop they have every right to charge what they do - don't like it - go elsewhere. And finally remember what your mother said - and if she didn't let me tell you - If you haven't anything nice to say - say nothing. Cheers

    Never expect too much at a Value Village.

PLEASE - if you change your mind, bring it to the staff at the front. They'd much rather have it in their cart to put back than finding it all over the store. To the review - this donation center is great. The staff is always so helpful and cheerful. I like dropping off items here when I need to get rid of well conditioned items. Shopping here is a hit or miss, as always with thrifting. I do find that I am more likely to find something I like here than at other locations. I think it's because I find this store a bit more spacious, so I'm more willing to spend time looking through the aisles here. The pricing here leaves me kinda iffy about wanting to shop here sometimes. They keep bringing up prices so sometimes, things aren't even a good deal anymore. It's suppose to be for non-for-profit and environmentally friendly to thrift. But here, I've definitely found over priced items, broken items still being sold, and items priced higher than the original price tags attached. Be patient, spend some time... anytime you're thrifting, you need to be willing to spend time combing through each item if you want a chance to find something great.
