We use this facility for the pool with the kids, and the library…read more The pool is not very big but decent, the instructors are very professional and experienced, nice with the kids. Family changing room is always crowded, there is almost no place to put your things (4 working lockers for any amount of kids at the time), not too clean. Note that while you are waiting for your child, there will be nowhere to sit so some parents have to wait in the car. The library is very small, open 4 days a weeks for a couple of hours.

This place has picked up in the cleaning, and last time i visited I enjoyed it…read more The pool is small but available to adult swimming almost everyday regular hours . if half of the chlorine were used , it would be exellent the gym equipment is updated . nice place to work out if you don't want a year expensive membership at regular health clubs. before 5pm and after 5pm prices vary, not much classes are offered in the afternoon for the afternoon visitors just early am classes, most good classes are for after 5pm prime price , a lot of concentration is put on children programs. love the big free parking lot space just for visitor and members only. you get an odd nutty woman with a baby in the car who just yells at people in the parking as wanneh be parking police lot but that is just the area or maybe xmas stress so have your earplugs mp3 player on your ears but good thing you don't see the stressed parents type with kids in the gym area where is more calm and serine place to work out.

Nice community center where I come to play badminton during the weekends. It costs $4 to play from…read more3 pm to 5 pm, which is an awesome price, considering many other places charge anywhere from $6 to $8. There are 3 courts for badminton, and the same space is used for other sports. There is also a running track upstairs where you can run 19 laps, which is equivalent to 1 mile. There's also a nice swimming pool, along with an area for ping pong. I heard there is a workout room somewhere, but I have still yet to explore the rest of the facility. Just today I discovered some music rooms downstairs!!!! This community center keeps surprising me with new discoveries lol. The quality of this place is not too new, but it's not falling apart either. It is nicely maintained. The best part.... free parking lol.

There's a small but smart weight room, great pool, gym with a new floor and lots of multipurpose and studio space. For new parents, families new to the area, or anyone who wants to get or stay active, it's the perfect place. My only criticism ever was with the kids karate instructor. He seems to like to make kids cry, seems to have a chip on his shoulder and in general isn't that good at karate. That's one minus in 3 years of pluses, so whatever.

The kids want to socialize, have no concept of working out. I will never use this gym again. Some are outright aggressive, use foul language, and ruin the atmosphere. Some act like they never seen a gym, its probably because they haven't. I also hate that low rider gym attire. It makes it look like they are there to fulfill their back-room fantasies.

Ooh, an FTR…read more Literally buried beneath the Ryerson quadrangle bounded by Gerrard and Gould streets, the Ryerson Athletic Centre is reminiscent of a time when Ryerson didn't have quite the financial warchest to throw around as it does now - rather than annex properties around the downtown core, it dug down. To wit: don't confuse the RAC with the shiny new Mattamy Athletic Centre in the former Maple Leaf Gardens. The entrance to the RAC is demarked by the façade of the former Toronto Normal School - you can't miss it. Descend the steps into the depths of this concrete jungle gym. I only use the squash courts here, which are open to the public. It's tough to find courts available to civilians without gym memberships, especially in the core. $9 per non-member is the price of admission - cheaper than $15 at a Goodlife - and again, neither player need subscribe to a membership. There are four international squash courts here (three glass-backed), with a viewing gallery at the top. Courts can be reserved in one-hour increments in advance via telephonic communication. I've found (at least during the summer) that courts weren't busy, and we weren't ever kicked off past our time slot. Likely to be busier during the school year. Unfortunately, during the summer this hermetic pit was hotter than a stinky, sweaty hell. Seriously, it was like playing in Dante's sauna. Not great. Also, the main gym thoroughfare transects the back glass-wall of the squash courts, so all the foot traffic can be distracting to your game. That said it also means a lot of university hotties passing by, which is definitely distracting to your game. Turn up the A/C in this AC. 15/30

The community center was big and included many different sports, even the hockey game. There was a separate building for Tennis too. There were 2 big swimming pools. One for adults and one for kids. The kids pool is warmer than the adult one. There is a massage pool on the side corner. Parent can view onsite. We live a bit far away, but the schedule for parent and tod is pretty good here. We like to come here.

I'd say this place is smaller than most other community centres. The hallways are narrow, so if…read morestrollers or groups of people gather on one side of the hall, it's a bit harder to get by. The rooms, also kinda small. The pool, actually I like the pool. Though it'd be great to have some seating for parents, I don't mind the low bench. And it never seems full (the bench) so I guess it's just enough for one class. BUT when the classes then over then it does get a bit crowded both by the bench and on deck while some people leaving ans some starting. I'd love to check out what else there is. Other say there is a gym in basement, I gotta check this out. The staff there, always got the answer I need a friendly.

The people at the front desk are very friendly and while the facilities aren't state of the art, they're more than adequate for individuals looking for a solid workout, whether in the fitness room or in the pool.

After exchanging a couple of emails with the establishment I was able to buy "10 day passes" for around $70 US ( in the lobby area) in The Fitness Center is open M-Saturday and opening and closing times change depending on the season and days of the week. The Fitness Center equipment is a bit out dated but serves the purpose so I was happy with that. They have showers, sauna and lockers available to use if you need them ( bring your own lock). If you are in the area this is a great place to get a workout in without having to jump through hoops or paperwork from bigger gyms.
