I have been staying here the past two nights a part of the BC Bike Race and enjoyed the pool, nice grounds, and the use of the rec center food room. What did I learn today? There is no one around the area that will deliver pizza here. So sad.

yesterday I was at the rec center for some therapy. I use…read morethe steam room, hot tubs and therapy pool. I also do rehab on my shoulder in the tiny lap pool. I was in the steam room and two guys came in. One was 'training for a fight' and had to lose 5lbs in a day and made sure everyone in there knew about this. These guys started barking orders at people, and talking at people, that didn't want to be spoken to. I asked them to please be quiet in the steam room because the staff never did anything about it. At first I asked the lifeguards (3 different ones) to get a handle of the situation. They didn't. So when I asked these young men to please be quiet. I got an earful of insults. "why are you such a c.. " " you miserable human being" " when was the last time someone .... you good" "you must be depressed, you should just die" and the list goes on.. (the irony is I am clinically depressed, and this is not what I need at a community rec center) Not one single staff member or lifeguard took control of this. I left there.. more miserable than I did walking in. This is a facility for therapy, this is a facility for family and kids.This is a place for people to come and relax, and you know. rehabilitate.. it's what it's meant for. This is not a place for professional trainers to come to and start barking orders at other patrons to follow suit to his needs I am completely turned off at how the staff handled this, and that excessive talking and loud mouths are even ALLOWED to be acting like that in a steam room, or just act like that at the facility. I didn't come here to listen to your life problems. Not only that I was insulted over and over again until I had to remove myself from the situation. So I never got to do my physical therapy I am required to do right now for my shoulder. IF the guy was trying to lose 5 lbs in one way for a fight. This to me sounds like a personal problem, and someone didn't do their proper training. Instead we all got stressed out by this guy that wouldn't shut up about himself and his needs the entire time. He's probably not going to do well on that fight either. You can't lose 5 lbs in a steam room in one day. I might never come here again and take the longer journey to west van rec center just to avoid this awful experience/feeling and the fact that the staff doesn't do anything about this reckless behaviour.

The gym is decent but the weight section seems jam packed full of equipment, which makes it difficult to move around and such when it's busy. The staff and trainers were all just kind of hanging out talking to each other but still helpful (A trainer came to help me when he noticed me staring at a machine with a confused look on my face and he didn't even make me feel stupid because I didn't know how to use it!) Standard sign up sheets for cardio machines but no one seems to really take notice, it was basically just grab whatever s available. The pool is huge and great. Loved the steam room and sauna, as they are both clean and spacious. Changing rooms are very large. The pool area is pretty empty if you go late morning/ early afternoon but the gym seems to always be busy. The restaurant boasts "fresh homemade snacks" on their website but I've only ever seen them serving hot dogs, hamburgers and sometimes those prepackaged sandwiches.

Since I have rediscovered my love for pools I've been coming here a lot, not 2 or 3 times a week…read morebut 6-7 times a week! The pool has 25m swimming lanes, 2 diving boards, warmer non lane swimming pool, big hot tub, steam room and sauna. The best part is $2 swim nights. From 9-10pm at it's $2 to go for a swim. They also have family swims on Sunday and Monday evenings they are earlier for $2. This is the reason why I'm there so often. Change rooms are ok, can be a little dirty at the end of a day but I'm used to that now. Also even though there are "no shoes" signs everywhere you can bring dedicated pool shoes like flip flops as long as they are clean. Don't be that guy that walks in with your dirty shoes on!

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. Music's good and they provided little coffee and snacks. But most of all, as a senior retired, I was amazed at how good this center is and how inclusive. I was told that the big boss is Francis. 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.
