This is my go-to place for fitness. Been going here for years. There are many types of physical activity classes. Zumba on Wednesday's is very popular. There is also a good variety of martial arts to choose from (karate, taekwondo, Chinese Wushu). Can also learn to play a musical instrument too. Quality of the classes are quite good at an affordable price. Facilities are a little bare but functional. Exercise fuels my Foodie appetite! read more

Kerrisdale Community Centre is a great place for active people to be active, relaxing people to relax, or people watchers to watch. The Kerrisdale Community Centre has a nice indoor pool with lessons for everyone from beginners to people who just want to play in the water. A single visit to an adult to the pool is $5.36. In addition, the centre has a fitness area with a one month pass for adults that cost $30. There is a large basketball court, a youth area, and loads of activities for per-school and school kids. There is also a seniors center and a library under the same roof. I would highly recommend stopping by the centre and grabbing the Recreation Guide with all the details of the Kerrisdale Community Centre. It is well worth your time. I went just a couple of days ago to just sit down in the lobby area and watched people walk by as I studied for a major exam. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Their were several people in and out of the centre of all age groups. There was even a birthday party in one of the rooms that is for rent. I was able to study and use the library with free Wifi from the lobby area. Highly recommend... Check out what the centre has for you at www.kerrisdalecc.com read more

Kerrisdale Community Centre - Community Centers Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Just attended an intro to first aid for older adults workshop this afternoon. Hosted by medical students, it was informative and free (!). They even played victims to let us practice on them. Overall the session was conducted in a fairly professional manner and even though it overrun for a bit, I left feeling slightly more confident and knowledgeable on the various emergency-related topics. read more

This is a very busy centre with lots of kids programs, seniors hanging out at the Senior Centre and lots of adult programs. This review is for the Swimming Pool Aqua Fit program. The Pool have 3 different Aqua Fit class every weekday. Since I have not been doing any Aqua classes for a while, I decided to try out the Mild Class. I realize MILD is a subjective term.. Keep in mind, on a Mid Day Week Day, the pool is surrounded by seniors. Average age is 70 so how hard could it be? Wednesday was taught by Lauren, it started off nice and easy, then getting harder as the minutes go by.. by the end of the hour, I was so tired I can barely walk home.. Friday class comes around, I figure I will be better.. Denise the Drill Sargeant is teaching.. No one told me she was harder than Lauren.. This is all I heard.. Sprint Cross Country Ski Uphill Moguls Suspension Jumping Jacks T and A (What?!) Russian Kicks Scissor Kicks High Kicks Frog Jump Rocking Horse - Ok, lets go again.. All the 70 year old ladies were kicking it.. I just about died.. MILD workout..totally NOT! I cannot feel my legs and every part of my body still hurts 2 days later. All in all, they have a very popular swimming program good for babies to seniors and the exercise challenged like myself. read more

Review #8/30 This community centre has been my go-to place for my educational needs as it houses a small library where I got books for research. The staff I talked to had been generally very helpful. I once asked about the membership for the gym in this centre and they gladly let me try it out for free for one day. I found the gym a bit old and small in size but well equipped. Communal showers and locker room were small as well but clean. It sure did not look as sleek as some other community centres but the fee for this gym is one of the cheapest in the city. If you are an avid swimmer, you will also be glad to find an indoor pool here as well. Together with plenty of rooms and a basketball court for community use, this is certainly one of the best centres you will find in Vancouver. read more

Just had my daughters 3rd birthday party here and was totally blown away. The space leaves a little something to be desired and the decorations were pretty sparse so I'm glad we brought our own to fill up the room a little. They set up two tables. One for adults and one for kids and they were perfectly spaced. Adrienne was our leader and she was AWESOME. So good about being in touch via phone and checking in with me and answering any questions I had even though I forced her to hound me a bit with my hectic schedule. She was always completely professional and polite and I happily pushed some cupcakes on her and the other girl she had in to help. The play room was FANTASTIC. The kids loved being in the bouncy castle and playing on the slide and plasma cars, plus the room was big enough that 10 kids could run like crazy without any collisions. It was a bit of a bummer that there were only 3 kids allowed in the bouncy castle at a time, considering how big it was and how small they were, so it would be nice if they amended that rule based on age or performance. Maybe a strike system would be more appropriate. There was some disappointment and crying because friends couldn't accompany friends in. Otherwise it was a really wonderful time. There was music playing and they dimmed the lights for us at cake time (which I totally dropped the ball on). I would definitely book a party with them again. read more

The community centre has a ton of activities for a small neighborhood place. Today they had booths set up to wrap Christmas presents and to sell hot chocolate. It was kid run and very cute. The place could use a renovation though. Paige who works at the front desk was very helpful, I didn't know there was a gym there until she told me. She's super friendly and should be the manager. read more

I started a beginner senior's ukulele class today (January 19, 2019). My friend and I were waiting outside the room before the class began while the room was being set up for our class. A woman that I presume was a volunteer rudely told us not to enter the room. We certainly had no intension of doing that but she continued to harass us. The class began and the instructor was really good. However, the same women kept interrupting him and telling him what to do. It was annoying and not her business to do that. She was not a paying student but a volunteer that took attendance. What I'm getting at is that it was not a welcoming atmosphere and the community centre should monitor it's volunteers. read more

I would avoid the swim lessons at this pool. My child had passed a level at a different pool, and we registered her in the appropriate level. The instructor kicked my child out of the class. Another parent in the waiting room said his child had an assessment at Kerrisdale, enrolled in the appropriate class and was also kicked saying the child was not ready. The requirements are clearly laid out by Red Cross and our child is clearly able to do requirements laid out for the passed level. We registered at another pool and there has been no problems This may be why Kerrisdale seems to always have open spaces in classes while lessons at other pools are full with waiting lists. read more

Rating is for swimming lessons only. The instructors follow a different set of standards for Red Cross Swim Lessons than at other community pools. Kids pass their levels at different pools and then are told to move back 2 levels when arriving at this pool. Many of the instructors are humourless and inflexible; the head swimming instructors shouts insults at the students. It sure kicks any enthusiasm for swimming lessons out of a child very quickly. I wish I had seen the other poster before registering at this pool. read more

Well this review is for the swimming class only. My daughter took a pre-school swimming lesson here. I can't believe my eyes when I saw they played "wheels on the bus" stuff in every class. This obviously is at the "water baby"level, not for a bunch of 4/5-year old . Besides that, the instructor always looked around and didn't pay attention to the students. All she did was to use some activities or toys to kill the time. Wrong kicking? It is none of her business. In one class she finished 10 minutes earlier because she thought she'd taught everything. In anther class she was 10 minutes late. If you want you child to learn something out of the swimming lesson, please avoid this. read more

Vancouver Vipers Water Polo Club has used the Kerrisdale Community Centre pool for training for many years. The staff is friendly, helpful, and hardworking - helping us maintain the positive and safe team atmosphere that we aspire to have! read more

Fantastic place with character and a family friendly feeling. The facilities aren't catered to snobs and muscle dummies, which is very nice for a change. read more

Very rude receptionists. There are two ladies who look so grumpy, ignores clients, and are so ignorrant. They made me wait 40 minutes to pick-up pickup my member card after playing billiards just because she was registering someone for a camp. Afterwards, when she was ready, she took a quick glance and says there is no cards here. Ends up being on the floor. Horrible service? Then flicks the card at me; how rude. The other lady is free but doesn't even offer to help. Though their facilities and youth room is really good; other staffs are helpful. Recepionists gotta change; terrible. Who are they: The two recepionists at 6:05PM Wednesday August 17 2016. Please deal with them accordingly directors of KCC. read more

I have been coming here to use the gym for a few years, but was recently harrassed by man who was on the board of the KCC in the parking lot. I had parked in the lot, as instructed by my employers, while I was giving a concert for ASK Friendship Centre across the street, and he told my brass quintet not to park here as it was only for the KCC, and we apologized. Ten minutes later, the man followed me in his car while I was walking to my car, screaming at me and yelling obscenities, and he blocked my car in with his car so I couldn't leave. He took pictures of me and of my car, and banged on my car windows, all because he wanted to tell me again not to park here, though my brass quintet and I had already apologized to him. Following me, physically blocking me from leaving, and yelling and swearing at me was very scary and I feel very bad about the incident. I reported it, and received a disappointing apology letter from the KCC at the request of my employers. The letter was making excuses for his behavior, which he honestly could have been arrested for if I had called the police. Unfortunately, I no longer feel safe coming here anymore, knowing that no action has been taken to remove this aggressive man from his position in KCC. Though I am losing money by not using my gym pass, I have not come to the KCC since and have no plans to return. read more
