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.

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!

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.

Great layout, good size, but dirty weights…read more I've been to the Ruddy Y (orleans), Taggart Y (downtown), and Carling wood (west end)...I would rank it 3rd among them. Pros: 1. Sectioned off nicely. Cardio machines are on the left side of the room. In the middle are the weight machines. On the right side are the squat racks, benches, and dumb bells. 2. The fitness room has soft flooring. Great if you want to skip in bare feet or hit some pads with a friend. 3. Has an area to do Olympics lifts. It's small but away from other machines. Cons: 1. The weights are pretty dirty. 2. No swimming pool. I usually went there in the morning. The racks and weights were free for the most part. I waited a couple of times for the machines. Lots of older people work out in the morning.

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!

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!
