Such a beautiful location with such easy access and it is all ran and maintained by volunteers even though it is the other end of the world for me from Sherwood Park I will gladly drive here even if it is to just watch the horses. One of the people I was talking to had mentioned that they have a nephew with a disability and he comes every week for animal therapy. I seriously hope this is the venue for next years show as the space is phenomenal and parking is wonderful too! And if you want to spend a whole day, Fort Edmonton is right next door.

For a beginner it will take several classes to lead up to jumping so be prepared for a slow and steady approach to riding and a financial investment in lessons. There is no need to own a horse to take lessons as 95% of the riders do not own. The current location is extremely old and the parents, riders, and staff all seem eager for the new construction to be completed so we can all move on to the neighbouring location opening in the fall.

The MacEwan sports centre, which is located downtown, just east of some of the university admin…read more buildings, is a great place to work out or meet for a game of badminton or tennis. Parking's a bit of an issue, but if you're lucky enough to get a meter spot close to the entrance from the back at around 105 St, then you've got it made. The badminton courts are usually half-full, so just bring a racquet and shoes and you're ready to go. The work-out facilities are good, and the price is right. It's a great alternative for both students and the rest of the commmunity to membership at a private club or older city facilities. This sports centre is fairly new and has everything you need to get in a good, fast workout in a clean, spacious environment, without all the testosterone or intimidating buffness of more serious gyms.

When I went to MacEwan I loved using this gym. They have everything you need, weights, cardio…read moreequipment, a pool. They do have peak hours and non-peak hours, and students are only allowed during a certain time. The best time is during the day around 2 or 3pm. It was least busy at these times so you didn't have to worry about waiting to use some equipment since the place is smaller than you would expect. If you are a student here you should definitely take advantage of the facility.

After frequenting many different YMCA locations within different provinces, the same province and…read morecountries, the YMCA locations within Edmonton or at least the Jamie Platz location is sub par to the serviceS experienced elsewhere. the booking systems of YMCA of Northern Alberta will not book correctly. I booked my daughter in for swimming lessons when the booking opened, no confirmation email came, I went back in and noted one spot taken, but to be safe I booked again still no email, and no additional space taken. I did receive an email asking for feedback on the service right after, not the confirmation email I expected but sometimes wrong emails are sent. After attending this Y location for a period of time I began to feel that something was wrong. I didn't hit the gym as much, the atmosphere was wrong, and I was told that we should know our limits. A gym is to push your limits. To become stronger, to become better than your yesterday. That's when I felt I needed to ask reception to check the lesson booking, there was nothing booked, and nothing available. I will have a disappointed child, and this whole fiasco dysregulated me as my whole schedule has been booked around this lesson time. The NA Y have poor booking systems, I easily booked in lessons in Calgary and many other activities online in other locations. If you are looking to have disappointment head to the NA Ys and you will definitely receive it. I believe it was the manager I dealt with in this situation and his custoner service skills are definitely lacking. I then spoke to a member of the Y team and she handle my cancelling of memberships in a kind and respectful way. I only really got the membership for my daughter and swimming lessons, it was another expense that was dipping into credit but necessary for child mental health. If she doesn't have the swim lessons then I have no need of the membership. I also feel amazingly relieved as I didn't feel comfortable in this Y location.

Fast becoming one of my favourite places in town. Me, the girl whose commitment to exercise for…read moreyears has been picking up a pen and writing with it. After working my way through 2 years of nasty grief and health problems and other assorted issues (thanks, pandemic), I was determined to turn over a new leaf and begin really taking care of myself. Over the summer, I began walking around my neighbourhood, but I knew I wouldn't be able to keep it up over the winter. This place is so incredibly close that it fit the bill for contintuing my commitment to fitness. The indoor track is now my second home. I do at least a kilometer each time, and I like that they reverse the direction each day so you get a different view. It also overlooks the activity in the gym below, so you can chuckle at the kids doing karate or playing indoor soccer in the wintertime. There's plenty of exercise equipment. The Lifecycles are great because you can watch TV or internet, and power your usage with your movement. There's the studio where they have all the classes (Zumba, cycle, etc), the gym for basketball, volleyball, etc, and the workout room. Last weekend I got brave enough to try the pool. A little chilly when I got in, but the water was actually pretty warm once I was in a while. The day locker rooms are nearly immaculate. I like that there's a wet and dry locker area, with the handy cords for your locker key that you can put around your wrist while you work out. For an additional price, there are enhanced locker rooms with overnight lockers, towel service, etc. Everyone I've met here, staffwise, has been friendly and approachable. Make sure to wipe down the equipment after you use it. One of these days, I'm going to try out the smoothie bar in the lobby. Can't speak to the daycare or children's programs since I don't have kids, but I've seen all kinds of activities for them in the gym since I've been coming. If I was a parent, I'd definitely consider enrolling my kid in some classes or daycare here.

You can also take advantage of their open gym times and have fun playing on all the equipment there with your kids and this is all ages I believe. I can tell the kids just love being able to adventure around the gym. Just wait around for the big foam pit to be open towards the end of Open Gym. It's worth the wait to go and jump around in there. The staff are great, friendly and energetic. The facilities are kept nice, neat and clean.

The gym itself was very clean, organized and quite new. Today, the one staff member at the front desk was very busy getting people checked in and it wasn't clear as to what the process was. We didn't know where to go or the schedule, procedures, etc. Once we got that sorted (a half hour past start time), the students were organized into groups and rules were reviewed. The coaches seemed really energetic and positive. My daughter was very shy getting started, but they quickly got her busy having fun and she didn't even notice me leave. So, despite the disorganization first thing, a fairly positive first impression. Looking forward to tomorrow!
