My husband and I are fitness members with the City of Ottawa, and we always come to this location…read more It is a little bit out of our way, but the facility is newer and much cleaner than the Kanata Wave Pool location. A big selling feature is that there are separate change rooms for the gym and the pool. This means that if you're going to work out you're not walking in puddles while trying to change, also, I've never seen a child in the change-room for the gym so it feels more comfortable for me. Also, the real reason that we got City of Ottawa memberships is because we aren't forced into a contract like with a regular gym. Instead you pay month to month, if you are going to be there. This is nice because I prefer to work out outside during the summer and won't be wasting money on a membership for those months.

My friends started to throw a few things and I quickly joined in. You would not believe how hard it is to smash a keyboard. Lots of plates and glass to break. You get a few baseball-bat , Crowbars, sledgehammer. I personally had so much fun smashing a radio. It's a different activity that's for sure. You want to put on a pair of shoes that is appropriate. I would also recommend that you wear a hat or tuque. Because glass will get everywhere. They provide you with a cover all, gloves and a protective face shield. It's a very quick activity. Have fun !!! Don't bring the children!

Do you like waves crashing down on you from a hot day of sweltering outdoors? Welcome to Kanata's…read morewave pool - a city of Ottawa facility. A great place to cool off, take in a class or just have fun with the waves! This place has an area dedicated for kids, a slide, WAVES, a hot tub area, and a sauna. The facility is well maintained and there's ample parking. I've signed up for a class in the past and was very satisfied. You've got to check the schedule online as for times of waves versus lane swim. There's a gym and multi-purpose room but with a name like Leisure Centre and Wave Pool - it's the pool that brings you in!

Ottawa is so lucky to have this facility. Located in the Riverside area near Billings Bridge it's…read moregot an unreal amount of stuff happening at all times of the year. Under their umbrella, there's a ton of fitness centres and wellness programs (like the Nepean Tennis Club!) under their "lifefit" heading. I had my first experience here in a summer camp when I was young, and then at a volleyball camp as a teen. As an adult, I appreciate all the clubs and sport leagues available. They also do training courses like CPR and First Aid, and have specialty classes like Fine Art which is cool. Their facility is a big one, and there's a ton to learn and see, so take your time and soak it all in. I'm a big advocate of checking out their website to see what might be of interest to your fine self. You can get an individual or family membership, and there's a lot of options, so if you get confused, maybe go in for a chat. The FieldHouse Bar and Grill is also a part of the centre and serves up breakfast, lunch dinner and snacks and drinks. There's also a sports shop that sells fitness gear like clothing, tennis rackets and they offer restringing which is helpful. They also have banquet and special event services as well as a massage and physiotherapy clinic! If you're looking to get active or make some new friends, this is an awesome place to check out. Also great for kids - they have a massive summer program!

I've never used the sports facilities here, but I really enjoy this location for conferences and…read moremeetings. They have multiple rooms that can be used for a number of different events. The lobby is nice and welcoming and the signage is very helpful to get the guests to where they need to be in the building. The food the catering staff creates is top quality and their event staff must be on point as I've never attended an event where anything went wrong from the venue's perspective. They recently added a temporary extension off the front. I'm not sure what this building houses. It includes an enclosed walkway from the main building to the new temporary building. That walkway is a bit awkwardly placed and makes cab drop-offs and pick-ups somewhat difficult. It's not possible to see the full driveway and getting passed the temporary walkway is a bit of a squeeze in order to get to the cab drop-off/pick-up. But with all new things come a few bumps, so I'm sure they'll figure this out quickly.

I'm extremely disappointed with my visit to Flying Squirrel. During our time there, we were…read moreconstantly harassed by an employee every time one of us tripped or fell -- something completely normal at a trampoline park. Every time, the same employee would rush over and tell us to stand up, even though it was obvious we had just fallen, not sitting around. Nowhere in the posted rules does it say you aren't allowed to fall. What made it even more frustrating was that plenty of others were doing way worse, but somehow we were the only ones being singled out. When we spoke to the manager, all they had to say was that it's the employee's job to "interfere when there's something." Like, of course Sherlock -- but maybe focus on actual problems, not people simply falling in a trampoline park. And as if that wasn't enough, the bathrooms were an absolute disgrace -- filthy floors and overall disgusting. Terrible experience! I've been here several times, and likely the last! I'll go in Laval where at least we are respected and not being harassed for stupid reasons!

We also offer specialty fitness programs for youth and teens as well as Heart Wise Exercise Programs, safe and effective fitness classes for people with cardiac disease. Our indoor salt water pool is a great place to swim laps, take part in an Aquafit class, play with the family or just relax in the whirlpool. In the summer, spend the day by our outdoor pool. The SJCC's full size gymnasium is equipped with basketball nets and has squash and racquetball courts. More than just a fitness centre the SJCC offers a full gamut of educational and cultural programs for the entire family including Summer Camps, and After School Programs for children and language, dance, art and music for adults.

You pay up front to get in and when you leave they want to see the receipt for what ever reason. The "manager" is the rudest idiot in the world. Felt trapped and held hostage because the staff that took my money while entering messed up. The "manager" wouldn't let us leave until we gave them more money on top of the money spent in the place and the initial money. Wouldn't admit mistake or any type of reasoning other than to give more money. Wouldn't recommend anyone to go to this place ever! Worse $140.00 ever spent.

I went for the first time with my 2 year old daughter. The place is dirty and what bothered me the…read moremost is that it wasn't safe for toddlers. There were only two small spots where toddlers could play and these were generally monopolized by the older kids who would run through these areas as they weren't closed off. It isn't safe at all for the little children. If you're a parent with a small child, don't go!!!! You're child can easily be knocked down and pushed by the older kids. I didn't see any staff looking after these areas or the parents of the older kids say anything. My daughter could have easily received a few hits on the face and head by kicking foots/legs from the older kids. This isn't even deserving of one star rating!

December 8, 2016: As promised, I'm updating my review, now that we have had our event here…read more Really, I wish I could give this place a 6 or 7-star! It was STELLAR!! I recommend this venue for any event you might have in mind, be it with your work colleagues or a personal event such as a wedding or other special occasion. The food was great! The service was really good, the view was awesome, and the room was so nicely set up. Kudos to the Britannia Yacht Club for helping us put on an awesome event!! And now to describe our event in more detail: We had about 70 guests, and the tables were spread out in a relaxed fashion (not all crammed together, or in rigid lines), and were covered in seasonal covered linens (white cloth covered by either a green or burgundy / red cloth). The ceiling was decorated with white paper fold out globes and tule spread out from the centre. The BYC provided a screen and projector, and I brought my laptop with a slide show of the unit over the years since I've been there. This all functioned very well. As for the food, three differed main dishes were offered (All delicious!) - chicken in mushroom sauce, fish (salmon) also in sauce, and a pasta / vegetarian dish. Also available were the following items: a cold veggie salad in a marvelous dressing; rice, warm veggies in a mayo sauce. Beverages available were: coffee, tea, a fruit punch, pop, and water (which they refilled without being prompted - which I for one really appreciate!) and we had a cash bar for those who cared to imbibe in something a little stronger. And finally, there was a HUGE lemon cake that was moist and flavourful. It was good, but I had wished for a chocolate lava cake! Maybe I should have asked for this! The only minor glitch we had was that we could have used a microphone, but while planning the event, we felt we wouldn't need it. In hindsight, we should have requested it. But this is really minor, overall. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I am really looking forward to this! Our office winter luncheon will be held at the Britannia Yacht Club in early December. Once we have had the event, I will edit my review to talk about the food service. Planning for this event, they have been very accommodating, patiently doing what they can to put this together for us. From the pictures on-line, the upstairs room looks very inviting - a bit like being on a boat (of course!) - with wood finishes and table linens. They offer a cash bar, and they cater events themselves, like weddings and Corporate events, as well as their own functions. Their menu is quite reasonably priced. This Yacht Club has been around for so long (since 1877), that I'm surprised nobody has reviewed it before! So stay tuned - I will tell you about the food in the 2nd week in December.
