This is my regular pool now. I learned to swim only in my late thirties. I used to go to Bonsor,…read morebut the chlorine concentration there is higher. Also, the folks at Bonsor can be awkward if you're a woman swimming alone. I've also tried Eileen Pool. Ultimately, I settled on this one because it's newer, more spacious, and forced me to get used to practicing in a pool where I can't touch the floor at all. After a few weeks of regular practice here, I'm no longer anxious when I cross the boundary between the shallow and deep ends (at other pools). As a bonus, I haven't had unsolicited creepy comments from anyone here - they seem to be generally respectful. They also have lockers that you don't need to pay for, nor do you need to bring your own lock. My chlorine sensitivity is usually not triggered by the levels at this pool either. They also have a leisure pool but I find it too warm to swim laps. The one thing to keep in mind is to check the timings when they're operating in a 50 m / 25 m configuration - and whether that overlaps with classes.

The place isn't bad. It can be enjoyable…read more This is why I am giving it a one star. RESPECT. So there are so many asians that come here, I believe they think they are the only ones that exist. They talk loud, get into arguments and deep discussions in mandarin or chinese. They are practically yelling at eachother in the sauna and hot tub. If you ask them to be quiet. They wont listen. IF you get the lifeguards to ask them to be quiet, they still don't listen. So my biggest complaint about this place is people from other countries that don't speak english do not seem to have any respect for anyone but people from their country. They have turned a public place into an asian cultural center. no non asians allowed.

My child attended this summer camp for two weeks and has been left with serious psychological…read moredistress. The instructors here showed an alarming lack of professionalism and misused their authority to unfairly target and humiliate him. They made false accusations, shouted at him without cause, punished him with arbitrary "time-outs," and consistently treated him with disrespect. Their behavior was not only inappropriate but also harmful. As a parent, I find this completely unacceptable. Children should feel safe, supported, and encouraged--not shamed, blamed, or bullied by the very people entrusted to care for them.

We were vising from the US and not used to seeing such great indoor facilities and kids activities…read moreat a city run aquatic center. It was a treat! The pool areas were very clean. The changing rooms were getting heavy use the day were there, considering that they were also clean. We used the family changing area and it was a little crowded, probably could have sent my husband and son off to the men's room. However we did have a shower and dedicated changing area after only a few minutes of waiting. The leisure pool was plenty big for the people there that Sunday. The toddler loved the easy entrance and stairs to get in and out and there were lots of floats around for the kids to play with! The older child (8) loved the slide. Yes it is short, but there was also no line at all and it was very fun with spirals and dips. Probably I would just shower the kids and towel them off next time (instead of trying to change them into dry clothes with the wet floor), but definitely worth it!

The indoor playground is for toddlers really, but is very cool for them and so needed on crappy days. The drop.im has plenty of toys, little tykes structures, bikes, etc. Probably a little intense for younger ones. The pool has a slide for littles, a super shallow pool, swirl pool that's awesome with floats AND a giant dump bucket. So awesome. The staff is awesome, facility is super clean, and I'm just such a super fan.

Gym review: it sucks…read more Good job Vancouver to have probably over million dollar worth of space and budgeting for community center and ice rink, yet you created the worst possible gym space. It makes no sense. There are so many reasons why community centre gyms sucks, besides the reason the steam room doesn't work. I have gym'd all over the world not only in the United States and third world countries like Thailand, Laos, Cambodia. This Trout Lake community centre gym is WAYY too small, it's just one upstairs space. There's a free weight area, 2 smith machines, 4 workout machines, 5 treatmills, 3 elipicticals, 2 rowers. There's an outdoor space where people can do workouts in the fresh air, but have the year you can't use it because rain gets onto it. And of course in Vancouver it rains half a year. There is no vibe here. As you can see in my video, it's dead quiet. You can literally hear ghosts here before hearing people workout. There's no music playing, even elevator music would be better than just silence. Everyone here is on their phone and not putting any energy into working out. I personally try to workout without my phone so I can actually put energy and focus into working out rather than wasting time choosing the next on your playlist. You can pay $7 for a drop in workout, which actually isn't a terrible price. So it's quite affordable, but actually the 50-60/month is totally not worth it when you can go to a different gym like fitness world for half the price. Yea these community centre gyms are incredibly disappointing. Vancouver gets all these tax dollars and this is what they give us back in return. Saddd

I've been working out here regularly for the last two months (3-5x a week). I haven't tried the…read morepool, but have tried all the evening workout classes at least once. The price is quite steep at $75/month. The price also varies depending on the type of membership (corporate, association etc). For a non-profit organization I think the price should be the same for everyone. Also, they charge a joiner fee and 1 month membership fee to cancel. I don't think they should charge a cancellation fee - things happen in life and you shouldn't be penalized for moving or changing jobs. The facility itself has options - there is a pool, showers, fitness centre, women's fitness area and 2 exercise rooms for classes. It is a very busy and well used location. I haven't tried the personal trainers, but have observed them training other people. They seem very knowledgeable and pay a lot of attention to the people they are training. If you do decide to come here and can afford it, it looks like it would be worth it. Personally, I didn't enjoy any of the classes. They are very full (30-40) people (except for spin and a few other classes that have equipment limits - still at least 15 people though). People also come late. This makes it very hard for the instructor because they don't know what to expect. The classes are good for beginners, but don't always match the description. Some of the instructors aren't open to feedback and will suggest taking another class if you provide feedback. The gym equipment is decent but not as good as a newer Steve Nash. They have most of the things you need but no kettle bells. In summary, the location is excellent and the centre has options. Because of this, it is VERY busy. The crowd here is your standard community centre crowd, so it's not intimidating and everyone is friendly.

Great staff. They really care. Nice and clean facilities and they offer discounts for low income…read more The facilities are first rate and the pool is great and so is whirlpool. It is a bit further for me,living in Kits, but well worth it. With Covid around the local city gyms have huge line ups,not here and Y.W.C.A tries to schedule properly. I tried Fitness World in KIts and was left feeling very unappreciated and Ron Z on 1st ave ,after I called seems to be a rude bully place. I now happily either take 10 minute bus ride D.T or drive.
