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.

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.

Replay's sports bar has some great healthy options and of course the regular bar foods ie. wings, burgers and beer. Food is good, price is a little expensive for a sports bar attached to a gym. The gym has lots of equipment although free weights are mostly on the far because of the lack of etiquette from other members. Big plus is a super clean and fairly large private women's only section. There is enough equipment in this area that girls don't have to leave and visit the co-ed section. They also teach mixed martial arts here with two studios, a ring and lots of punching bags. It's not the prettiest gym but for $20ish a month and 24/7 hours you can't really complain. They just need better decor and to check the equipment regularly.

The womens section is way smaller than back then. They now allow people over 55 to go into this small girls section which makes me feel SUPER uncomfortable because there's older men who just watch you workout behind and beside you ( even if there's 1 person in the co ed area). This is something I'd like for them to change. I assume the purpose of having a girls area is so women can feel comfortable working out without feeling self conscious. Other than that, they have a lot of equipment and is open 247. They have ample of showers and lockers (bring a lock for lockers) They also have parking. Please change the women area to an actual women area. It's SUPER awkward to have older men in such a small area working out with you. It forces me to either go the co ed section or forces me to go into womens change area ( they have mats) when I purposely signed up to use the girls section.

The cardio room is packed with treds, bikes, seated belt rower, elliptical machine and I think a stair climber. The weight room could use a few more key benches and one or two more machines.

It's never been packed and I've not had to wait for any machine or weights yet. I plan on speaking with them about putting in some new benches/machines, I'll have to write a follow up review to that conversation and outcome. I signed up for a year and don't see why I wouldn't sign up for another.

I wasn't very hungry so I just ordered a miso soup and the Avocado Temaki which came with two Avocado cones. It was a simple dish but nicely done. The family seemed happy with their food for the most part. Arctic Char looked very appealing. There was one dessert that didn't quite make the grade. I didn't try it myself but I heard multiple family members saying that the texture of the dessert was kinda weird and not very enjoyable. A dish got broken and the staff were very quick to clean up the mess and apologize for the incident. They also removed the dessert in question from the bill. Staff here are friendly, efficient and very polite. Two thumbs up for the customer service. Service: Great Parking: Upper parking lot if you're a member; lower parking lot if you're a guest.

We have dined here many times over the years, celebrating countless birthdays and other special…read moreoccasions. It has always been a restaurant we could rely on for exceptional food, outstanding service, and an unforgettable view. Once again, the staff accommodated us with a fantastic table, and we sincerely appreciate their hospitality. Unfortunately, we arrived unaware that the restaurant had introduced an entirely new menu. The concept is a significant departure from its previous offerings, moving toward a more modern, nouvelle cuisine style with elements of fusion and a tasting-menu approach. We decided to stay with an open mind and give the new direction a fair chance. One aspect we found confusing was the menu itself. It displayed pricing only for the three- and four-course prix fixe options, along with a tasting menu, but no à la carte prices. When we inquired, we were told that à la carte ordering was available, although the explanation felt somewhat reluctant and did not make for the best first impression. We ultimately chose the three-course dinner. While the food was well prepared and flavorful, the value was among the poorest we have experienced at a fine dining restaurant. For example, one main course consisted of two small strips of Wagyu beef (approximately 2-3 ounces), a few dollops of foam, and a single asparagus floret. The other main courses were similarly modest in portion, and the appetizers were little more than a few bites. To the restaurant's credit, the service remained exceptional throughout the evening. The staff were attentive, friendly, and professional, maintaining the high standard we have always associated with this establishment. Our biggest disappointment was not the quality of the food, but the overall value and direction of the dining experience. The emphasis now seems to be on artistic presentation and culinary theatrics rather than delivering a satisfying meal that justifies the price. While some diners may appreciate this style of dining, it simply did not meet our expectations based on our many previous visits. This experience was a reminder that even long-time favorites can change significantly. In the future, we'll be sure to review the menu before making a reservation. Sadly, despite many wonderful memories here, this visit left us disappointed, and we do not plan to return.
