PETERBOROUGH SPORT & WELLNESS CENTRE REVIEWS

This provides a wide selection of indoor sports and gym equipment to suit a variety of fitness interests. Members have many of options to choose from, so they may work out and do different things to suit their tastes. The facility's appeal is further enhanced by the addition of a swimming pool, which offers a chance for leisure and fitness in the water.

My son and I adore the Wellness Centre! The staff are phenomenal, a big shout out to Judo Instructor Sensei Paul and Swimming instructor Jocelyn! Thank you for being so wonderful and patient with the children while they learn new skills.

Great place to take your kids swimming. On weekends they have a fun swim and they open the slide up for older kids and adults. My 3 year old has a blast with pool noodles. They have floaties and life jackets for kids.

BALSILLIE FAMILY YMCA REVIEWS

I have been a member of this Y location for years, and I can accurately say it is a lovely space. The staff are always welcoming and warm (shoutout to Sami and Tricia!), the atmosphere is friendly, with families and folks all enjoying their workouts and birthday parties and swimming lessons. I say this all the time and I'll say it here too -- a Y membership is the best monthly purchase you can do for yourself.

I used the gym here and it was great, I come from a small town and it does not have the same machines as this ymca, plus they have more machines here. it was an awesome experience and I've never been there until today but you will definitely see me again, i will probably bring others too.

Whenever I visit my sister I can pop in and it's super easy to register, pay the small visitor fee, support the organization and get use of the entire facilities for the day.

TRENT UNIVERSITY ATHLETIC CENTRE REVIEWS

Great place to go for a gym. Sports like basketball, squash, and rowing are also available. Great crowd and employees. The place is neat and clean. It is also very well maintained.

Staff is helpful, professional, and knowledgeable. Very well sanitized. Can't wait for the sauna to open.

It's a very well equipped athletic centre. Got everything you could ever need to keep fitn.
