The ping pong table gets wild and competitive with some older gents that will pause when you walk by to the women's locker room that connects to the pool. The locker room area is always clean, the showers are hot, and there are plentiful lockers. They also have a rotating class schedule, including zumba, water aerobics, karate, and a lot of other things. I have tried the water aerobics classes, but I stopped during the winter because the pool wasn't warm enough for me. The Wednesday night water aerobics instructor is amazing.

These reviews are funny, so I'm chiming in with my two cents…read more I was a UM student from 2005-2009; from 2008-2009 I lived about a 5-minute walk from the CCRB, over on Wilmot St., so I mostly went there for exercising. I remember the exercise room (with the treadmills and ellipticals, which is what I mainly used) to be a bit crowded, but I could usually find a machine. The pool was (is?) definitely older too but had at least a few lanes for swimming laps. Locker room was also older. I actually preferred the NCRB's pool, so I'd sometimes shlep down to South Campus for that, but I've heard that in the past few years they closed their pool ... so if you want to swim, I'm guessing the CCRB is your only option nowadays.

Oy. When struggling with motivation to go to a gym, this place just gives you the extra dose of…read morede-motivation you really don't need. The building is worse than my inner-city high school: it's even more reminiscent of a prison, and with worse lighting, wall colors, and HVAC systems. It is always disgustingly hot in any room, though some rooms have giant moveable fans that ease the nausea for us heat-intolerant folks. Even when it's slow (normally after 9pm is when the place stops being a mad house), you're always sharing a room with at least two other people, and they're likely to be image-obsessed meatheads and sorority girls. Granted there are others here to join me in the ranks of freaks and geeks but not enough to temper jock-fest '99. I know the point of going to the gym is to physically exert yourself, but the fact that there is no nearby parking is particularly frustrating when either pressed for time or up against inclement weather. Plus the longer the walk, the longer I have to hear passerbys talk about the epic frat party last night, bro. At least there are tons of machines and most of them in decent shape. No state-of-the-art stuff but stuff isn't falling apart either. Plus, they're open quite late which is great for last-minute stress-release. This place is free for me, but I'm about to drop some money for a rec center membership that's external to U of M just so I can be surrounded by people who make me feel more comfortable and so I can be in a building that doesn't depress me.

The two staff members were not welcoming toward us and seemed bothered by even the simplest questions. Instead of taking a moment to explain things, they told us to "refer to the pamphlet," shutting down any attempt to clarify what we were looking for. For a place that's supposed to promote health and community, the lack of basic courtesy was really disappointing. First impressions matter, and this one made it clear that customer service is not a priority here. I won't be joining.

They give you glorified world of fitness and they tell you all the classes are free but they don't tell you that for all the classes you have to register ahead of time.. If you miss the registration deadline which is every 3 months then you cannot go to any classes. Some of the classes you have to pay money also though you are a member. When you go to become a member they don't tell you that you have to plan ahead to register for the class. Somebody like me who works in the hospital and my schedule varies cannot go to the classes because you have to register. When I signed up in June for membership, nobody told me that you have to register for class. It would be better if they have registration every month. So if you skip one month you can register in second month. It doesn't help when you have to register every 3 months. When I called staff was very rude. Though I paid a lot of money for my membership, they act like we are going there for free. The staff is really rude. When you call they don't say please wait there is one person ahead of you. They just say hold on and they start music. When I called and asked for the classes the lady said I have been working here for long time and we always register for classes. They treat you very bad. It is very sad that Canton community became like this. I have lived in Canton for 27 years now. They need to train their employees how to talk and how to be nice with everybody.
