You get a few hours of fun and the game may seem complicated but if you check out the rules it is actually pretty simple. Each team has a Jammer indicated by a star on their helmet. Those players score points by passing people on the track. Only the Jammer in the lead gets the points. Games are quite exciting as it is faced paced and very active. These women and men are very athletic! The games are licensed so you can enjoy some bevvies. There is also food things to buy. They often do baked goods or canteen food. There are also merchandise tables to buy roller derby associated goods. At the last game we were at they even had a massage therapist doing free 5 minute chair massages. So come out and try something new and have some fun. Support some local athletes and have a unique date!

Shortly after joining this gym and signing up for…read more personal training, I decided to cancel my membership and my personal training sessions for a few reasons. Every time I visited either the steam room, dry sauna or hot tub were closed/out of commission. One reason I chose this gym is because they told me it is child free, however there were always kids running around in the change room as there were swimming lessons taking place. These points are the least of my concerns however. When I decided to cancel, I was directed to the general manager Justin Moxon. He had told me that he was disappointed to see me go, but he understood, he assured me my membership & personal training was to be cancelled and I would receive a refund for the personal training I had paid for. They were in fact not cancelled, I met with him on multiple occasions and he insisted that it would be cancelled and I would be issued a refund. That was back in the summer of 2025 and it is currently February 2026. The issues I had with the gym are one thing, but constantly being lied to is another issue altogether. They are currently being sued by The FTC in the US for this, so beware.

I've been to the Royal Mayfair Golf Club two years in a row for a Christmas party and I must say,…read moreI've been very impressed two years in a row! Though I'm not much of a golfer (does mini-golf count?), so I can't comment on the course or conditions, the clubhouse is quite nice and I've always had a great evening and meal here! I was here just last night and left happy and full. The wine (and I can't remember what it was called for the life of me - though I'll be sure to update the review if I do) was one of the most enjoyable reds I've had in ages. We mingled over wine at cocktail hour between 6 and 7, then settled in for our meal. The set-up was buffet style. The line-up can get a bit long, but personally I love buffet! I'm on a healthy-eating kick, so I was able to load up my place with salad and veggies and salmon, skipping the gravy and dinner rolls. And the best part? Everything is *super* tasty. You won't find anything very exotic here - it's the standard caesar, spinach salad, turkey, mashed potatoes - but it's all quite delicious. The room was fairly good acoustics although they could have turned the microphone up a little bit. It's also much warmer in the area where the food trays are - I was a little chilly sitting near the window. It is quite nice to be in a room with windows, though! Dessert is even better! OK, I know I said I'm on a healthy eating kick, but I just can't say no to cheesecake. Delicious! I hope the organization continues to hold their Christmas parties here - it's an awesome choice! One minor complaint: the doors to the room with tables was closed until about 6:45. It would have been nice to set my purse down at our table when we arrived.

One of my favourite Gyms in the city! What I don't like…read moreabout this location and I try to avoid: There are a lot of kids and very noisy Lots of tournaments that affects parking and the whole experience Around 4-6 PM, there are a lot of high school students there and it's hard to do anything They are still using the old fashion wristbands for which are bad for environment! Other locations have started having reusable wristbands which are much better and easier. For the noise and crowd: I plan my workout time around rush hours and I completely avoid the place when there is a tournament. The customer service is awesome and the staff is always nice and helpful! I haven't had any bad experiences related to customer service! If you plan it right, you can enjoy your workouts here!

Shamrock is the coolest curling club (assuming you think curling is "cool"). The first time I…read morewalked in, I thought "my dad would love this place". It looks like it hasn't been renovated since the 70s in the best kind of way. The lounge is warm, cozy, and surprisingly spacious. Their long tables encourage socialization. My only criticism is that they don't start serving alcohol until 3pm on Sundays (they start at noon on Saturdays). It was kind of a bummer finding that out when we got there. The biggest bonus? Drift food truck does their catering and they are AMAZING. Renting a sheet of ice is very reasonably priced, making curling a super accessible sport here. They also periodically offer learn to curl clinics to teach you the basics. The clinic is only $20, lasts for 2 hours, and includes a drink of your choice following the lesson. Definitely worth checking out if you are a beginner. I would highly recommend Shamrock for beginner curlers because it is incredible inviting. I would also recommend it to more experienced folks for the same reason!

I've never curled before, so I can't comment on the ice or equipment, but this is a wonderful venue to spend a day. The club is two levels, with viewing glass both upstairs and downstairs. Both have great views of the ice, depending on whether or not you want a table or a couch to watch from. The downstairs area has a small canteen with food (menu varies) that is generally pub style. The servings are huge (and tasty)! Upstairs there is a full service bar and tables. There are some games to play if you are waiting between matches and bathrooms on both levels. I loved the community feel of the club, with regulars having their own beer mugs on the wall, and lovely touches like upgraded faucets and flowers in the women's washrooms. I had no idea what to expect from a curling club, and this is a welcoming homey place to relax with friends, whether you are curling or not.

People are always complaining about Deadmonton, which is completely justifiable, but hey, sometimes you have to make the best of situations (insert standardized, generic, cheesy line here). Well, this is one of my favourite places to hang out in the summer. You like to play sports? Specifically tennis? You want to play tennis on CLAY? This is the only place in town that has them. 7 clay courts - completely different playing surface than hard courts. There's a sign-up board. Hang your membership card up on the court you're playing on. Bonus that the people that play here are good peeps - if you want to make friends, I suggest going to: - Friday Night Socials (6:00pm - 9:00pm) - Signing up for a tournament: Davis Cup is a loooooooot of fun. One day tourny! - Joining summer league (men's, women's and co-ed teams): Interclub is great. The season is short (end of May - August) and you play once a week. Check out Tennis Edmonton Interclub for more dets. Membership is required here. Here's the 2016 rates. Note: Prices are cheaper if you get the early bird memberships. - Full-time adult: $275.00 - Daytime/weekday adult: $150.00 - Punch pass: $50.00 for 5 visits. This is actually a pretty decent deal if you have commitment issues. Also, if you're a cheap bastard, you can wait till July 15 for their mid-season discounted rates. - Full-time adult: $180.00 - Daytime/weekday adult: $100.00 Are you a noob? Or want to improve your skills? Here's more options. So many options. - Ball machine: There's a ball machine! It's awesome. I've used it once. - Box league: you play x amount of games each month against people your skill level. Sign up required. Not gonna lie, I joined and bailed hard. - Hit list: Sign up onto the hit list with your tennis rating (1.0 - Open level). Contact people to play. Easy peasy. - Monday night clinic (6:00pm - 8:00pm): free drop-in clinic for members. Can't say I've ever been but I'm sure it's great. - Lessons: private ($40.00/hour), semi-private ($50.00/hour) or group lessons (6 sessions - $135.00 for non-members/$120.00 for members). Whatever tickles your fancy. Can't say I've ever done these either but I should... There's also 3 beach courts to play on. Beach is SO much fun. I'm just sad I only played a handful of times this summer. :( Same deal as tennis but here's a few options: - Summer league: Runs May to August and you play once a week. I've never played in the league but really, really want to (it's insanely popular). It's beach 2's so you better be good. Monday (Women's 2's), Tuesday (Men's 2's) and Thursday (Coed reverse 2's) nights. $250.00 fee to play. - Sunday drop-in (6:00pm - 9:00pm): $5.00 gets you in. Good times. - Friday drop-in drills (5:00pm - 7:00pm): $10.00 to participate. Can't say I've ever done it but this will work on your beach skills. So that was informative right? Nothing like hitting a tennis ball/volleyball to make you wish you were as good as the pros.

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.

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.
