I had to line up just to get changed. Facility it self sucks. You get what you pay for. here's a kicker, they tell you no cancelation fees then when you go to cancel they tell you that you have to still pay for another month. That's a cancelation fee!!!! you cancel because you dont want to go there so why would I want to go for another month? avoid this place and pay for somewhere else a bit more. This place is a dump.

The free weight area is not big enough and I witnessed people ready to fight each other as the fly benches do not have enough space between each other. The smell of the mens washroom is sickening, and the urinal will not flush. The gym floor has lights burnt out everywhere. Come on management, lets get on the ball or get on the bus.

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.

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!

Horrible parking on weekends…read more Don't go there on a weekend! There is insufficient parking there. I spent a half hour looking for one spot with at least forty other drivers. This has happened several times In the last year. I'm not going to book my children at the Saville Community Sports Centre for weekend programs anymore. What good is the place if you can't park there? Very frustrating.

I've been visiting the Saville Centre for various reasons for about a year now and overall I am…read morevery happy with the facility. My first few visits were to attend a Bootcamp exercise class. I absolutely loved it! The teacher was incredibly supportive and encouraging. She got me to push my limits in ways other classes haven't. The class usually only had 3-4 of us so it almost felt like semi-private coaching. I ended up taking another Bootcamp class with a different teacher the next season and again, the teacher was great though this time the class was more full (not a bad thing). Unfortunately the next season, Bootcamp no longer fit my schedule so I decided to start using their fitness facilities by myself. The gym is fairly small but usually not too busy. I've never had to wait for my prefered cardio machines or for weights. It is clean and tidy and there is always a staff member available if you have any questions. While there are fancier gyms in Edmonton, the Saville Centre has everything you need for a basic workout and lots of opportunities for group fitness classes. Plus the membership fees are very reasonable, particularly if you are a U of A student or alumni.

I have been to a few events at the attached Celtic Hall which have been fun (but that should be another review). As for the Sportsdome these days the only reason I have been there was for a bicycle swap event and a few times for Roller Derby. It has 2 big indoor rinks and the E-Ville Roller Derby Club uses one for their bouts. If you haven't been to Roller Derby you should at least check it out once. See my review of E-Ville Roller Derby for more info. The rink makes a great flat track for derby bouts. The facility also has a children's play area, mini-golf, and a bar. I have never had the reason or inclination to use the other areas so I can't comment on them much. Overall the facility seems a bit run down, dreary, and dated. I suppose it fulfills its purpose if it is being used but I only see it during Roller Derby bouts so it is quite empty except for that. I miss the indoor Golfdome : (

ERHL is a non-contact men's hockey league (although some teams have a few female players). I've…read moreplayed in the league for four or five seasons and had a ton of fun and met some cool people. The hockey is just your average beer league hockey, not too fast, not too slow and not too chippy. They have both a summer and winter league and I've played in both. I find the summer league is a bit rougher and players seem to be a little less responsible than the winter season. I think there are about 15 games in the summer season, plus playoffs, and 30 in winter, plus playoffs. In winter, the ice times are not ideal, so be prepared to play at 11 p.m. on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights and the occasional 7 a.m. weekend game. There is usually one game per week. The ice times in summer are much better, usually between 6-9 p.m. on week nights, with two games per week. The league has a newish website which has box scores, schedules, stats and standings. Pretty much everything you would need on the site. The refereeing is not bad. You just have to remember you're an amateur player that makes mistakes on the ice and they are amateur refs who make mistakes too. The league is also good at handling suspensions when they are necessary, which keeps things in check. Like any hockey league, you have the odd idiot on the ice, but that really can't be avoided ;) But I have never felt unsafe and only really felt like someone had intent to injure me, but it was dealt with appropriately.

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.
