We visited the Montreal Olympic Swimming Pool and Olympic Parc on a full day tour of Montreal…read more It was super cool to see and hear about the construction of the facility and the pool for the 1976 Olympics. It's inside the giant, leaning, Montreal Tower, which in itself is really neat to see. In the Olympic Pool area, there is also a small museum too that covers the 1976 Olympic Games. On our tour, the guide explained to our group how the pool (and other smaller pools) were built for the swimming, diving, and other water sports. The pool is still used for recreational swimming by the citizens of Montreal, which I appreciate that they found a new use for it vs. tearing everything down and building over the site.

Coming here was the highlight of our trip to Montreal and if you like to swim I would definitely…read moreput this on your itinerary. Why? In 1976 the Summer Olympics were held in Montreal and this facility which is still in the same state as in 1976 with the Olympic rings outside the door was built for the swim competition. Now you have the opportunity to swim in the same pool as the Olympic Athletes. Canadians can buy monthly memberships but Americans can swim here for a daily fee of less than $8.00 CAD with a passport and proof of double vaccination. They even have the viewing stands so bring some friends and family with you to cheer you on like in the Olympics. The pool is super clean--the cleanest I have ever seen. And so are the locker rooms and showers. I had googles on and dove to the bottom a few times and it was cleaner than any pool that I have been in. You are required to keep a face covering on all times walking around except in the pool. ( I got reprimanded initially by the lifeguard for walking near the pool without one.) There are lanes for laps, a kiddie area, and free swim area. There are 2 lifeguards on duty on both sides of the pool. They even have a machine in the locker room to dry your swim suit--worked great! There are open lockers but you will need to bring a lock--we just used our small suitcase locks--it seems relatively safe when we were here. They have benches next to the pool for your towel and things. We took a Uber here from the hotel but if you are driving, park in P5 lot. Give yourself a few hours to come here because if you are not familar its a maze of Olympic buildings and once inside another maze figuring out how to get from the locker room to the pool without walking though another gender's locker room. I had to consult with other swimmers and such nice people in Montreal--they gave me an escort. Just a tremendous experience and we are thankful to the Montreal people for allowing us to "jump in."

Had been at the old location for years - and still miss it. Progym is not only one of the best gyms…read morein Montreal - but in Canada and the USA. Every time I took a friend from the US visiting - it was always stated once we left "can we come back tomorrow?". With the old location sold / demolished - it was a hard feat for the owners to find a location that could match its size/ atmosphere. It goes beyond training - it is an experience. Well, they managed to move. With trepidation the first time - could the formulae be repeated. It is a true lifters gym. You will find equipment there that is rare to find. The Legs section - come on - find me another place that has the amount of equipment / machines. Come on - 6 + different squat machines! Gym Size : I have been to gyms for NFLD to BC and many in between - nothing matches this place for size / space / equipment. It is now stretched out over two levels of intelligent use of space. Added feature : Meditation Room | Barber | Food Services with good seating (+access to microwaves if you brought something) | Supplements Shop | Kick Boxing Area + | Dentist Office | Tanning Beds | Private Closed Door Area for Women's Only Gym | Tons of Free Parking When it moved and was too far for me the time to get to - I tried EVERY other gym in DT Montreal and areas near - Sweet Dear God - throw head on table - Not The Same Thing! Pricing : Not only one of the best price in Montreal for all this equipment - but in Canada. In DT Vancouver it was $100 a month - similar hight prices in other cities with less equipment. Progym offers specials as low as $320 a year if you hit right! Hours : 24hrs /5 days- except Sat/Sun / closing at 9:00 pm + slew of Accredited Trainers (M/F) if required. Crowd : For most part - heads down - there to train and leave. From dedicated lifters to novices. Decent crowd for most parts. Go check it out.

Brilliant gym, new location is even better than the old, and the old was incredible (but maybe a…read morelittle further away from my friends). Easy sign-up, no crazy overaggressive sales tactics (like American gyms), key fob can be reactivated when you revisit or if you work remotely. Top 5 Reasons to join this gym: 1. Motivation. Everyone here is there to get fit, stay fit, and they respect the place and the equipment. 2. True training. A gym that's not just for getting in shape (e.g. gym muscles). This is a legit training facility. I haven't seen much of this in commercial gyms (only at say, college athletics training facilities). 3. Respect. No sales tactics. 4. No waiting. Multiple identical workout stations (if there's a unique machine or rack or board or bar you love and rarely shows up at commercial gyms, or if they have it, they have one. ProGym will have 4 of them) 5. Old school and latest tech. Missing an old school rack or tired of lugging your own TRX to the gym, they'll have it.

The gym opens at 6:30 am. you could use the Mind and body app to check the schedule and pricing.
