My YMCA is the Robert Lee YMCA downtown, so perhaps I'm a bit spoiled--the Robert Lee YMCA, which…read morewas renovated in 2010, is gorgeous -- spacious, lots of light, and nice decor. However, the Langara YMCA is just gross. A couple of months ago, I tried out the Langara YMCA, and the atmosphere was just ugh--dark and ugly, like that of a run down community center. To get to the change room, you must go down a long, narrow hallway with grey walls. The lockers are old and battered, and not very practical. The Robert Lee YMCA has lockers of various shapes and sizes--full sized lockers, half lockers, wider lockers--to accommodate your belongings (large or multiple bags, just a jacket, etc), but the Langara YMCA only has full height, very narrow lockers, making it difficult to squeeze all your stuff in, and wasting space since the number of lockers is limited to wall space, of which there is not much. (I have no idea what people do during busy periods--there just weren't a lot of lockers, and unlike the Robert Lee YMCA, there weren't extra lockers outside of the change room.) The benches in the change room were impractical too--very narrow so it was not comfortable to sit on or place anything on them, and they were placed too close to the lockers, making it a tight squeeze to get your items out of your lockers, while leaving a lot of wasted space in the change room. There only appeared to be one main exercise floor, where all the machines were, making it feel very crowded. (The Robert Lee YMCA has one main exercise floor, split into two areas, as well as another small area on another level with more machines, so that it doesn't feel too crowded.) And the room was dark and ugh. I really didn't like the place, and it's unlikely that I'll ever go back. It really doesn't compare to the Robert Lee YMCA. [Yelp collections: Fitness]

I have been a member here for a few years now but I am cancelling my membership because it's…read moregetting so bad. It's very run down, very dirty, and very crowded from 5pm until closing when people finish work. It would be ok if people attending were respectful of others workouts but they hog the machines/ work out space, they drop weights on the floor and leave them rolling around, they don't clean up after themselves or wipe down the machines. It's ver frustrating to work out there. The staff is not attentive and lets things get dirty, it seems they are mostly there to hang out with their friends. The locker rooms used to be well maintained by 2 ladies but since changing cleaning companies it's always messy and there are always dirty paper towels in the lockers. In the ladies locker rooms people are very loud and have no concept of personal space.... including when they are not clothed which can be very uncomfortable. You will also find people using the blow dryers to dry things other than the hair on their heads... Every year my membership cost increases by $1.00. I am now paying $56.00. It's getting to be too much to pay for feeling frustrated and pretty grossed out. I will be joining another gym ASAP.

Good - 10 visit punchcard ($54.00 + GST) - this is the cost with a Be Active Pass card - 2 squash courts and 3 table tennis tables - Squash league ($18.00 to spare (up to 3 games), $63.00 for part time (up to 8 games) and $147.00 for full time) - Large multi-purpose gym for volleyball, badminton, basketball, soccer, etc. - Multiple drop-in times for sports (ie. Friday volleyball is very popular) - Less than 10 minute walk from the Metrotown skytrain - A couple of EV charging stations ($2.00/hour) Bad - Archaic booking system (no online booking system available. You have to call to book a squash/racquetball court) - Half the time when you call, staff doesn't answer - Downstairs weight room is cramped - 1 combo court (normally used for squash or racquetball but they currently refuse to move it) - 50% of the time the men's shower facilities don't have body wash You get what you pay for at Bonsor. Don't expect much and it does the trick.

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.

I've been paddling out of Dragon Zone for the past two years through my dragon boat team. It's a…read moregreat place to go paddling. Olympic Village is a beautiful location and convenient compared to the FCRCC in Granville Island. I like the nice facilities, such as the shower and change rooms, the paddles and life jackets to be borrowed, and the many boats. In the fall, they host an equipment sale which is 40% off the regular price. They also host many workshops for people who want to try paddling for the first time before they commit to a team or as a fun, team-building activity. I will say that I would prefer if rules and regulations around boats were enforced more. Many times, the boat my team reserved has been taken and other boats have come into the dock where we were supposed to be. Even after notifying Dragon Zone multiple times, it keeps happening and it's always the same teams with no consequences. I have also noticed many complaints about the lack of OC-1 and OC-6 despite increasing the memberships significantly in the past year.

On Sundays, you can drop by the Dragon Zone trailer and for only $10 you get to spend at least an hour on the water, learning how to paddle on a dragon boat team. It's so much fun! There have been a few occasions where I've gotten a few friends together and we've gone down to spend the afternoon with the Dragon Zone crew. Absolutely NO experience is required, and it's got the added bonus of being a great workout. If you really enjoyed your time on the water, as I did last year, the friendly folks at the Dragon Zone trailer will give you more information on how to join a beginner's dragon boat team. It's such a great experience, and you get to meet a lot of cool people. I highly recommend Dragon Zone for anyone curious about dragon boating. Besides, you get to have this cool exchange at work on Monday: "So, what did you do this weekend?" "Oh, not much. I just spent my Sunday DRAGON BOATING." Yeah, buddy.

I went here for the one day belaying lesson at the climbing gym. I picked this place as they offer…read morelessons at more affordable price (65 CAD) compared to the the other competitor within Greater Vancouver area. Climbing shoes, harness, and grigri rental is included in the lesson price. The instruction given was clear, and helpful. They also tested me by purposely doing things wrong (grigri on the wrong side, the rope is too long, etc), and asked me to verify that everything is good to go. I got the chance to belay the other lesson taker, and the instructor would pointed out what habit I need to fix. After the lesson, I got a piece of paper to review what I learned today. I also got a bit of free time to climb on my own. 7 days trial is included in lesson so that you can climb and practice more. The oval climbing gym offers bouldering (small section), lead, and speed climbing. Pretty solid climbing gym in my opinion!
