My husband and I are fitness members with the City of Ottawa, and we always come to this location…read more It is a little bit out of our way, but the facility is newer and much cleaner than the Kanata Wave Pool location. A big selling feature is that there are separate change rooms for the gym and the pool. This means that if you're going to work out you're not walking in puddles while trying to change, also, I've never seen a child in the change-room for the gym so it feels more comfortable for me. Also, the real reason that we got City of Ottawa memberships is because we aren't forced into a contract like with a regular gym. Instead you pay month to month, if you are going to be there. This is nice because I prefer to work out outside during the summer and won't be wasting money on a membership for those months.

Ottawa is so lucky to have this facility. Located in the Riverside area near Billings Bridge it's…read moregot an unreal amount of stuff happening at all times of the year. Under their umbrella, there's a ton of fitness centres and wellness programs (like the Nepean Tennis Club!) under their "lifefit" heading. I had my first experience here in a summer camp when I was young, and then at a volleyball camp as a teen. As an adult, I appreciate all the clubs and sport leagues available. They also do training courses like CPR and First Aid, and have specialty classes like Fine Art which is cool. Their facility is a big one, and there's a ton to learn and see, so take your time and soak it all in. I'm a big advocate of checking out their website to see what might be of interest to your fine self. You can get an individual or family membership, and there's a lot of options, so if you get confused, maybe go in for a chat. The FieldHouse Bar and Grill is also a part of the centre and serves up breakfast, lunch dinner and snacks and drinks. There's also a sports shop that sells fitness gear like clothing, tennis rackets and they offer restringing which is helpful. They also have banquet and special event services as well as a massage and physiotherapy clinic! If you're looking to get active or make some new friends, this is an awesome place to check out. Also great for kids - they have a massive summer program!

I've never used the sports facilities here, but I really enjoy this location for conferences and…read moremeetings. They have multiple rooms that can be used for a number of different events. The lobby is nice and welcoming and the signage is very helpful to get the guests to where they need to be in the building. The food the catering staff creates is top quality and their event staff must be on point as I've never attended an event where anything went wrong from the venue's perspective. They recently added a temporary extension off the front. I'm not sure what this building houses. It includes an enclosed walkway from the main building to the new temporary building. That walkway is a bit awkwardly placed and makes cab drop-offs and pick-ups somewhat difficult. It's not possible to see the full driveway and getting passed the temporary walkway is a bit of a squeeze in order to get to the cab drop-off/pick-up. But with all new things come a few bumps, so I'm sure they'll figure this out quickly.

Great layout, good size, but dirty weights…read more I've been to the Ruddy Y (orleans), Taggart Y (downtown), and Carling wood (west end)...I would rank it 3rd among them. Pros: 1. Sectioned off nicely. Cardio machines are on the left side of the room. In the middle are the weight machines. On the right side are the squat racks, benches, and dumb bells. 2. The fitness room has soft flooring. Great if you want to skip in bare feet or hit some pads with a friend. 3. Has an area to do Olympics lifts. It's small but away from other machines. Cons: 1. The weights are pretty dirty. 2. No swimming pool. I usually went there in the morning. The racks and weights were free for the most part. I waited a couple of times for the machines. Lots of older people work out in the morning.

What a great YMCA this one is!!! I grew up in Orleans and went to this very Y when I was a kid. I…read moreremember when the basketball courts were upstairs and there was no swimming pool. These renovations are top notch!!! The weights got a huge upgrade. The machines are brand new and there are soo many of them. They even have a play pin for little kids to play in. This is excellent for the parents who want to do a quick 45min work out while their kids are playing in the jungle gym. The pool is absolutely gorgeous. I've been to many pools, such as the goodlife on st.laurant mall, the downtown ymca, and the ray friel centre in Orleans. This pool beats all of them by a mile. The water is clean and fresh. Look at the picture I took. The pool is 20 metres in length and always as a lane to swim in. Since it is a city run facility, the price of membership is fairly good for low income families and individuals, and students. Though, the price is comparable to a Goodlife or the Athletic Club. The staff is unbelievable. They are super friendly and polite. Even higher management is an email away. The only thing that keeps this from being a 5 star review is their washrooms/changing rooms. With all the new renovations this place had, I wish they upgraded their washrooms a bit. By no means is their washrooms terrible. Maybe to have actually shower heads in their showers would be amazing. Overall, I love this YMCA and it's the one gym I'll go to in Orleans.
