This is my go-to climbing gym in Montréal, not the least because it's close, but also because it…read morehas an excellent climbing community, has constantly refreshed routes, and all the yoga and classes are included. They also have pass hold options and student discounts. The gym includes a small warm-up zone with a stationary bike, mats, campus board, hangboard, and some freeweights. The routes themselves are inventive and offer fantastic progression and technique development, a good combination of modern and outdoor technique, which is what keeps me coming back. Routes themselves are fairly graded, and are marked for different styles (power, balance, mixed technique, etc). The lead climbing progression is superb. That said, this is a smaller gym (as gyms go) so climbers expecting a massive warehouse space or a super large bouldering zone should look elsewhere. The roped routes are decently tall however, and there are good lead options available with roofs and overhanging climbing on several walls. There are a few things the gym could improve on: * As of 2025/2026, the boulder cave is not as updated as frequently as it used to be. When I first started climbing here several years ago, one half of the boulder cave was updated every two weeks, which was awesome. But in Summer/Fall 2025, the entire cave went without routes changing for ~8 weeks, and this seems to have stuck. Much more time is spent on updating the roped routes (especially for competitions, which can reduce available gym routes significantly, so check the calendar before going). So just be aware roped climbing is the priority here. * Safety with kids. There is a lack of climbing etiquette with children, including with the gym's own classes and teams. I have seen kids running circles around the gym, playing with ropes and belay gear, and rolling around on the ground. I have seen toddlers and babies in the belay/climbing zones. This is risking serious injury or death. This is a broader climbing culture issue. The staff are aware of feedback here and I hope are better instructing their instructors on how to handle children and teach them safe etiquette. * Be aware that the boulder cave can be overtaken with classes of kids at 5pm. I feel this should be clearly marked on the website / public schedule. If you arrive around 5pm, you will encounter classes of kids 3 of 5 days of the work week. Unfortunately the kids' classes need to be taught some etiquette in respecting other users of the boulder cave. That said, treat the kids with respect--I love to see the sport progress--and show them how it's done! * Even outside of classes, the boulder cave can be filled with unsupervised children, despite a sign on the door saying kids under 12 must be accompanied by an adult. Just something to be aware of. I find being assertive and safe is best. Overall a great gym, and I enjoy climbing here as a regular!

I do a fair bit of rock climbing in Toronto and want to put it out there that Toronto top rope rock…read moreclimbing is not at all the same as it is in Montreal. I came in super confident that I'll just quickly pass the belay test and try out the ropes. Nope. Their belaying system setup is entirely different. Be prepared to bring your own ATC or grigri, which you will have to know how to install, since only the ropes are hanging on each climb. And you also have to know how to tie the 8-figure knot and they are super strict with the knots, very unlike Toronto. The barrier to top roping is much higher at this gym. I totally failed my belay test given I had no idea it would be so different! I did some bouldering the first time here (since I failed the belay test). The bouldering section is upstairs and quite small but still a decent size to try for an entire session. It might get a bit boring if I had to see the same wall on more than one session. The setting was a bit awkward with most routes kind of similar with a reachy and overhang feel to it, which is fine, but a bit more variety would be nice. I did eventually come back to pass the top roping belay test and finally try the top rope. The walls are very high, my friend guesstimated it to be 80ft high, whatever that means. It's certainly higher than gyms that I usually frequent. Their top rope climbs are where it is at! Very interesting and challenging climbs for many levels. Women's change rooms are also impressive and nicely finished and very clean looking. The best change room I've experienced so far at a rock climbing gym.

Unlike other Canadian gyms, the "intro" portion for me was almost nothing so I appreciate the easy going vibe. One of those gyms I truly wish we have one back home!

It was $15 for the day pass and shoe rental which is a good price! My friend and I stayed for 1 hour and a half and I felt so tired afterwards. I think it's a great way to spend an afternoon.

An extra bonus that they have a "plus" change-room and I had access to that as well since that was part of my membership which they also honoured. There's certainly bigger Y's than this one - including the one in my suburban community. But bearing in mind that they're in the heart of downtown Montreal, it's still a pretty good size with a bunch of amenities. The gym area is on the top (3rd or 4th) floor, so I caught the pool, a couple studios, gymnasium and others on the way up. The gym was fairly well supplied and should have most of what you're looking for. I mostly just use free weights and a running track anyway which they had available. The plus change-room was really nice! Funny enough it was quite a bit bigger than my local one, though the rest of the facility is smaller. The provide towel service, carpeted areas by the lockers, a large and well-functioning steam room and a large whirlpool. Just note that you'll need to have your own lock. My Y has a system where you can leave your card in the locker in order to bring a key with you, but this one you need your own lock. I'm not sure how it works for the other change-room. Glad I made my visit here to get energized and make a small dent in burning the excessive calories I took in on my trip to Montreal. Staff were really nice and helpful too.

I love the Y. This Y in particular is in a perfect location if you work downtown. They have…read morediscounts to give to you if you work for certain places, which is great. Recently they changed their pay structure to be biweekly. If you're regular price individual, it comes out to a little over $30 for two weeks, around $60 a month. The facilities are decently taken care of. Nothing is too messy and they frequently have cleaners going in and out of the change rooms. The studios are pretty clean and spacious (though some classes are PACKED, even if it's inside the gym.) the change rooms are okay, I've never had issues getting a locker before. There are a variety of classes you can take and all of them are fun! I've tried quite a few of them and I don't remember any being bad at all. The teachers are great and are bilingual. Because classes are often busy, they can't really focus too much attention to you during classes. However, they are always open to speaking with you after classes. With the Y membership, you also get 10 friend passes to use and 2 fitness instructor training sessions. You have to renew your membership yearly (no, it doesn't just roll over). Staff are extremely kind and helpful in the front desk as well.

It's near my apartment and only 30 minutes so it's much easier to commit to than most workout classes. I also like the music selection they normally have which skews Pop rap. The facility is simple but nice and clean. I did an intro week and then bought a package of classes but of course they're cheaper if you buy multiple monthly passes. Price is about average for this kind of thing. Would recommend for anyone trying to work up a sweat in 30 minutes !

Honestly if you're someone…read morethat has zero motivation to go to the gym or doesn't know how to challenge yourself, this is the place you need to be. All you need to do it sign up and show up, they take care of the music, the warm up and the work out. The workouts are half an hour long and start from 7am and run until late into the evening so you won't have an excuse to not be able to fit it into your schedule. If you think 30 minutes doesn't sound like enough I dare you to try and tell me otherwise. They mean it when they say "high intensity". Apart from that, the coaches are superb. They will be there for you whether it is learning a new technique or pushing you to your limits. Classes at this location cap at 12 people which allows you to get some friendly competition and also some one on one with the coach if you're having trouble with something. There's a reason this place has become my second home!

Bravo and kudos! After going here for 5 months, I've learned a lot of things. Having gone to Nautilus since I've lived in Montreal, the initial visit to this gym was jarring. The space was smaller, things were more cramped than I was used to. A bit too chaotic (during peak hours) I thought. But now as the time has passed and I understand the gym's "groove" more I gotta admit that the vibe here is quite excellent. A very social and friendly crowd whenever I attend. There's always smiles and banter between members, members and staff, the staff amongst themselves. And that "chaotic" vibe I got during peak hours is now something more poetic and playful. Very cool gym! Sarkis, the big honcho there, is a totally cool chill helpful man. Very friendly and receptive to feedback. The man knows how to run a great gym spectacularly.

The trainers are friendly, fun, and very knowledgeable. They charge $25/hour, and if you have exceeded 30 training sessions, then it becomes $20/hour. The space is not the largest, but good enough, providing all the weight training and cardio equipment you may need. To be exact, 10,000 square feet of training space, with 75 up-to-date cardio machines, and 75 strength stations. It is not constantly jam-packed, but does have its peak hours. They also provide a towel service, and have made the vicinity wheelchair accessible. The gym is in the perfect location for those who live and/or work downtown, study and/or teach at Concordia, and use the Guy-Concordia metro often. It is also in the ideal location to find a quick bite before or after your workout. There are a variety of classes offered too, ranging from yoga to pilates, martial arts to kick-boxing, and many, many others. They last for about a month and a half at a time, and incur a separate charge. To me, this is one of LeGym's downfalls, as I wish it provided full access to classes, as well as the gym's facilities. Despite this, however, you still get great quality for what you're paying. I'm a regular and I love it here.

There is also a lot of squat racks, machines, pull up bars, a nice dumbbell area, and for people who enjoy indoor cardio there are plenty of cardio machines. But there is only two benches for bench press. The fact that it's so awesome and so well located is also the cause of it's worst inconvenience: past 3-4 pm (and even as early as 7am) the weight section will be crowded, all of the squat racks and the bench press stations will be used. So you have no choice to work in with someone else, which is inconvenient as you are usually using a different poundage, or a different exercise. In those cases you have to strip and put back the weights on non-stop. So there you go; if you enjoy all the perks (and the low price I didn't mention earlier), and you don't mind sharing a bar with one or two other lifter, this is a good place to build an impressive physique or reach a new strength level.
