Then I met with Sean at the office the following week, he asked some personal info and what program am I interested, then asked me how would I like to pay $49.99 right now, debt or credit. I was very shocked that I have to pay for the trial when it wasn't mentioned over the phone. He also insisted on letting me take Muay Thai courses and buy the gloves when I specifically mentioned I'm interested only in sambo. I didn't do the purchase, Sean then told me if I think it's expensive I just can't afford the program, I just can't afford martial art. which was very disrespectful and unprofessional. Sean appeared to me to be a very greedy person, all he asked for was money, he did not show me the facility, did not show me the coach, asked me money first before anything else.

They mentioned the vents were broken and that fixing them wasn't a priority, and I was struggling to stay cool in the waiting room. Second, and I think this is the biggest problem, is that the main instructor, who I won't name, doesn't let us drink water until about five minutes before class ends. Those are the main things I wanted to mention. Even though all of these things are a bit annoying, it is still a very fun place to learn taekwando Cheers, John Smith

Far better alternative than the University of Ottawa fitness centre or any Good Life in the Ottawa…read moreregion. Beautiful Olympic size pools, newer complex with several recent additions. Staff are usually serviceable but sometimes just students getting through a shift so take time to familiarize yourself with the facility and all it has to offer. Gotta say I don't love their summer hours- especially for the lanes since the school lends its pool to third parties, but I will see how this summer schedule goes and report back. Can't comment on membership rates as I am a student, but the actual centre has a lot to offer so if it is not out of the way and you are shopping for a gym, you may want to weigh this option.

The Carleton Athletics staff does make the gym stand out! The gym has a great assortment of cardio machines, lots of natural light, and tvs for those who are so inclined. I wish that they had more free weights, especially in the 15-30 lbs range as sometimes it can be a wait to get your hands on a set. Also, the line ups for heavy lifting can be long, especially at peak times. This can be a little frustrating.
