I AM THE FIRST YELP REVIEWER for Ninja Tag!…read more Wow, I am impressed no one on YELP has reviewed this entertainment venue. I hope my lengthy review will entice you to try at least one and to let you friends and family members know. Of course, any events like these, please take safety precautions. From the outside, does not clearly say NINJA TAG, it says TAG, but the door says the entrance on the other side that says to use the new entrance around the West side of the building. When you enter you would be greeted by the front desk to fill out a paper waiver. Normally it would be a digital waiver on the screen, but the program isn't working at the time I went. One game is $10.00 and you have 10 minutes to complete the recorded game stats. But you can stay longer to just practice after your scheduled time. I stayed like 2 hours there and continuously played the different stations. They require you to purchase the non-slip socks that you wear when playing. It is an additional $3.00. And unfortunately you cannot wear your own non-slip socks from other events, it has to be the ones they provide. Plus they also get you to purchase a wristband which is another few dollars. Overall it was around $18.00 for this activity. The wristband can be reused, but I forgot to ask if you could reuse the same Ninja Tag socks. They have bins off to the side of the counter to store you clothes and shoes. For safety and security reasons, you can store your valuables like phone/keys/wallets behind their customer service desk. After playing for 2 hours, I found the stations fun and some challenging. Everything inside is very well lit with red and it feels like you are in a dangerous warzone of entertainment. The most fun station would have to be the very first station because you get to run up a sliding hill and the goal is to TAG with you wrist the colors. There are 5 levels of different colors and if I recall correctly, I was able to get to the 3rd color BLUE. Please make sure after you have tagged the color to go down the hill like a slide on your back and arms in the air or close to your chest. Avoid the elbows and knees touching the slippery floor, you can skin your human skin. I did this slide multiple times and skinned my right knee. It feels like a bruise but after a few days, my knee aches to walk. I have been applying Polysporin a medical cream every day to speed heal the skin. It seems to be working, but still very painful.

Although Harry Jerome is in the middle of a huge renovation, it still has the same small town, North Vancouver feel. It will be amazing when it is all finished! The only issue right now is the lack of available parking. There used to be lots of free parking, but now it is a huge construction site. Parking and traffic are awful everywhere along Lonsdale Ave., so you must get creative. It would be helpful to have more handicapped parking spots, but we will have to figure that out.

I love going swimming or skating here. They have great facilities. The pool, especially, is fun for…read moreeither fitness swimming (i.e. swimming laps) or taking kids to splash around with them. Most of the time, they are set up for lanes, but at public swim times, the waterslide and diving boards are opened up. There is also a nice big hot tub to relax in - although I've always been horrified by the many "No shaving" signs that dot the area. No running, no horseplay, but shaving? Who exactly is shaving in the hot tub? Some things are best left a mystery. I also like the authentic wooden sauna here, although it is kind of small. The best time to go is during one of the dollar swim or dollar skate sessions, although as you might expect, these are the busy times. But not too too busy, and probably the best little fitness deal in the city. (Harry Jerome is just near the top of the Upper Levels highway in North Van, so rather close, actually, for you brave bridge crossers.)

*Review mainly based on Gym*…read more South Surrey Recreation & Arts Centre is a community centre that has plenty of activities going on everyday of the week - from Art Classes to Badminton to Basketball or Spin Classes and more, there is bound to be an activity that will get you moving at all ages! My main use for South Surrey Rec. is for their Fitness/Gym Centre. Plenty of floor to ceiling windows allow for natural sunlight and openness, and the wooden beams add a rustic feel but all of the modern fitness equipment will definitely satisfy all your fitness needs! Also, I love all the mirror space so you can watch your body mechanics and check out your gains! ;) There is a dedicated section to all things Cardio - from ellipticals, treadmills, row machines, step machine, and stationary bikes. There are also different types of those machines so you can test out which machine works better for your body. On the other half of the gym, there are plenty of free weights (up to 75lbs) and cable machines. I appreciate that there are 3 squat racks and a smith machine - so plenty to ensure you don't usually have to wait for one to become free. Plenty of other equipment if you're not into machines either like TRX, medicine balls, bands, etc... There is a good amount of free floor space with individual mats with mirrors for other activities as well. They even have rollers too for your tight muscles. Inside the gym, there are 2 water fountains, washrooms for men and women, a scale and they have lockers (bring your own lock) and cubbies for your belongings. Air-con is great and the huge ceiling fans allow for great air flow - I don't ever feel stuffy or smell the gym stink. And to keep it that way, make sure to wipe down your equipment with the provided paper towels and spray! They play music overhead, sometimes softer but sometimes on the louder side - but definitely bring your own headphones if you prefer your own music or you don't want to hear people grunting as they work-out. Staff are around for help and they clean up around the gym from time to time. A majority of the time the bar weights are misplaced but you can generally find enough of them and don't have to go on a pilgrimage to find the weight you want - but there are labels so put them in their rightful place for good gym etiquette! Overall, this is my go-to gym. The space is huge, clean, great machines, weights, and free parking - plus if you have a Surrey Gym Pass, you can go to all the other Recreation Centres in Surrey! So get your heart pumping and muscles moving to burn off all that food you're enjoying!

The facility itself for the gym is great because there are a lot of machines you can use as well as good selection of classes to access as well depending on your needs and preference of working out.

Broken machines take a long time to repair as do out-of-service lockers in very tight locker rooms. Not recommended

I am a regular at the Cliffhanger gyms in Vancouver and Coquitlam, so I was curious to see how things might be done differently in this gym. The set-up of the place is cozy, and the people are really friendly. The space is not very big but the variety of climbs they offer, relative to the square footage that they have to work with, is probably the best I've seen. Low angle friction climbs, lead, overhang - and the first time I saw completely horizontal ceiling/roof routes. The routes are more difficult than that of Cliffhanger, with a closer simulation of the outdoors (they use some real rocks as holds as well). Lots of bouldering problems - most are not graded as V-something but just Easy/Medium/Hard. (But the "Easy" ones aren't that easy.) The place gave me an impression of it being a sort of "climber's lab" - where the good climbers experiment with routes and moves and techniques. They probably start out doing this for themselves or for their buddies - but the result is a mix of really interesting climbs that make you think. It was actually quite humbling. They didn't charge us for the belay/lead test, which was nice. The girl (Jennifer) gave us helpful tips during the tests as well. If the location were more suitable, I would love to be a regular here.

Good place for a quick climb, varied levels of difficulties for climbers of all levels…read more Doug, the owner is an awesome guy- always super cheerful and friendly. Same goes for the rest of the staff, however, I'd avoid this place from 11-1pm on the weekends since it's a hot time for children's birthday parties. So plenty of chances to get kicked in the head by one, or you know, vice-versa, but either way, bad. Definitely go for lessons if you're new, or if you need a refresher course. The instructors are all really helpful.

I passed by a room where I saw senior citizens having fun singing and dancing. Someone waved for me to come in and I did. I had a good time. The singing was mostly funny in a way. No expert singers.

His office just inside the Sing Along room and a good guy. Very accommodating and welcoming. I plan to fix my time and go back in the new year.
