Great place. I used to go to Goodlife, but once we saw what they offered families, it was a good…read moreswitch. I like that they have an indoor running track - being a runner myself - which is especially useful in the winter, or even just as a better alternative than a treadmill. Otherwise, fairly standard gym area and never too crowded. There's also a pool, which you won't have at most other gyms. I'm personally into group classes since they keep me more motivated and interested than working out alone on a machine. Some really good classes and teachers. The only downside at times is if you just have a so-so teacher, since they're given license to plan the class. That can be an upside too if you have a really good teacher, but sometimes with other teachers you may not feel as challenged and/or feel a muscle group wasn't really targeted (at Goodlife, they have standardized classes which doesn't really matter who's teaching). I do enjoy that the group classes have a true 'group' feeling to them, and people will talk with each other. There's also a good balance of men in the group classes, so it isn't awkward like it often was a Goodlife in that sense. A huge value is having the family pass. The big payoff is once your child reaches 3, then they can be in child minding for free during your workout. The kids have options like a 2 story play structure, rather than just being a daycare-environment room. Most of the classes are included in the membership too, so our son has swimming lessons and multi-sports at no extra charge. This was the main reason we chose to join. Downside is the change area. It's very much like a public rec centre rather than a gym or a club with tiled floors, showers which take 2 minutes to get hot water and so on. There is a 'plus' area, which is more of a club environment. It has a steam room and whirlpool. I'd really love these, but it's literally a couple hundred extra dollars a year which is too much right now with a young family. Other gyms like Goodlife have a sauna for everyone, so I don't really like having to pay what is standard for most others. Only reason I can't give a 5 star, but I do really recommend this place.

Every member gets a smart key and free personal training session when you sign up. Then they go around with you to every machine, load your height/weight and they test to see how much weight you should be lifting. After that, every time you go by yourself, you just plug the key in to the machine, the chair moves to where it should be and the weights configure to the perfect arrangement (until you get stronger and have to reconfigure). The key also stores how much you've been doing over time, tracks your cardio, allows your personal trainer to message you and suggest changes to your program - it's great. The YMCA itself is a great facility for families - they have a lot of swimming lessons, day care stuff, exercise classes, etc. I've heard guys complaining that the free weight area sucks compared to Good Life (I wouldn't know, I think the little bin of 5 lb dumb bells and medicine balls are top notch). This YMCA loses a star for classes. They only have one or two classes every morning, then one at noon, and maybe one or two more in the evening - way less than the Toronto YMCAs. They don't have spinning every morning either (however, I like the Oakville spinning instructors a lot - all of the classes are very tough and challenging - no duds unlike some other facilities).

Choosing Westbrook Montessori was hands down one of the best decisions we have ever made for our…read moredaughter. From day one, we felt welcomed, supported, and truly treated like family. The love, care, and dedication that the teachers and staff show every single child is something very special and increasingly rare to find. This is so much more than a school--it's a community. Every child is genuinely known, valued, and encouraged to thrive in their own unique way. The staff go above and beyond to ensure each child feels safe, confident, loved, and excited to learn. Their passion for what they do shines through in every interaction. The growth we have seen in our daughter has been incredible. Not only has she developed academically, but they have also grown in confidence, independence, kindness, and social skills. As parents, there is no greater comfort than knowing your child is spending their days in an environment where they are truly cared for. What makes this Montessori exceptional is its unwavering focus on the children. Every decision, every activity, and every interaction is centered around helping the children succeed and feel supported. The teachers have become trusted mentors and role models, and the relationships they build with the children are genuine and meaningful. We are beyond grateful for everything this Montessori has done for our family. The memories, friendships, and foundation they have helped create will last a lifetime. We cannot say enough wonderful things about this school and would recommend it without hesitation to any family looking for a nurturing, caring, and truly outstanding Montessori experience. Special shoutout to Riz the director, for creating such an amazing atmosphere

The school has a warm family feel, so our children adjusted very easily. The teachers are great, and work closely with the students to help them achieve their full potential. My daughter graduated from the Casa (senior kindergarten) program in June, reading at a grade 2 level and had been introduced to grade 3 mathematics concepts. In September, she entered into a grade one French immersion program. Because Westbrook also introduces the kids to French, it has been a very easy transition for her. She took with her the drive for learning, and has progressed to reading chapter books, and writing her own stories. My son, loves Westbrook and shows a very keen interest in school. At 3, he's already recognizing short words, and enjoys books and counting. His learning style is very different from his sister's, but the teachers work with him in a way that works for him. Because it's a family oriented school, the Principal there, is very open and fair with the students and parents. As a parent, there's nothing like sending your to school knowing that they are safe and happy. My husband and I have been extremely happy with Westbrook, and always recommend it to friends and family who are looking for a great school for their children.

Birthday party review:…read more We went to the gym for a 4-year-old's birthday party. It was one hour of supervised play (2 instructors) followed by snacks in a small party room (the host was in charge of providing the snacks). The play area was a small rectangular space. There was a rope swing, cushioned stairs and mats, a small trampoline and a cushioned swinging column that kids can swing on. My kids are 1- and 3-year-old stayed mostly in the pillow pit and bounced a bit on the trampoline. After a bit of free play, the kids were told to run through the circuit, but my kids didn't quite grasp the concept. The older kids seemed bored. I'm not sure what the optimum age is for this type of party... Maybe 5 year olds? After the circuit, the kids took turns on a harassed aerial swing. This seemed fun and the kids were pulled quite high in the air. The gym does provide tumbling and gymnastic classes. I peered into the large gym area and it looked legit (I don't know anything about gymnastic classes though). There's also parent and tot classes too. The birthday party might be fun for kids around 5-8 years old. I wouldn't host a party there myself as the play area is small and the activities were somewhat limited, but if my kids are invited to a birthday party there, we'll attend.

We went here for a…read morekid-friend's birthday party a few years ago and at the time were already sending our children to another gymnastics school close by. If we weren't so loyal to the lovely people at "our gym" I'm sure I would have put my kids here. I recall two separate gyms and a "party/eating room" and saw a bigger room where parents could sit and watch the class through a wall sized window. The room our party was in had a lot of different gymnastics equipment that a range of differently aged kids could play with. The party was well organized and they did I nice job incorporating activities that put some nice attention on the birthday kid, to help celebrate her. (I find a lot of indoor playground birthday parties to just be a space rental and that's it. Nothing wrong with that, just know from what I remember, that was a nice feature of this place.) Sorry I can't say much first hand about this place as a gymnastics school. Our friends' kids went there for years and were really happy. They only "quit" because they moved out of country. I'm new to this whole writing reviews publicly thing but the single "1 star" review for this place caught my attention and I felt compelled to add my perspective. I've only been here once, at around the same time as the other review by Jeska P. (Please also note the follow-up response from Kids SuperGym itself - it seems likely that the review was meant for another place - it's a real shame Yelp doesn't do anything about this! This place has been sitting with a single 1 star review for over 3 years??!!) And I give them 5 stars because in my opinion, for what this place is and what our experience was, they deserve this. Is it the ultimate gymnastics school in the world? I have no idea. Did they do "anything wrong" in my opinion to warrant "docking" them a star? Not at all.

In few words, Its a child care where teachers are hired once a year ( When the summer camps runs). They are picked randomly, mostly without proper training about handling kids. For younger kids it can be quite a decision for mothers, as this can account for safety. Children have free access to television. I would day, one of their days curriculum is watching movie. The owner justifies this by saying those are interactive play/ education etc. but primarily these are children movie. It is played so that children can spend time watching them , so as free the teachers from their responsibilities of child care. Less attention is given to the kids for food, play, etc. They are primarily on their own . The owner talks about passion about childcare education and all. You can see her doing all this while parents are around,. But really this is just a way to earn money. We went to one of the day trips with them. While traveling in the bus, a small girl probably 4- 5 years old, slept and fell from the bus seat. She hit her head , but was okay, as teachers sitting in the near by seats came rushing. There was no teacher sitting with her or on her seat for assistance. They were sitting with other teachers. It was sad. We tried to complain, but the owner has her own excuses. I would recommend not to send your kids to the summer camp. Its unsafe, with the owner having little response from these small accidents. Today, these accidents seems small, but big things can happen as well. So, Please avoid sending kids to this summer camp. Its for their safety. As the response to the Business owners' comments I have the following to say.: Parents can very well go there and see what is right and what is wrong. It was only a review to help parents. And definitely , it is the parents discretion , what they perceive right and wrong. This is what I felt as a parent, when I sent my kid to this summer camp. I hope the review helps. Business owners don't like negative comments .. however, Parents should write what they think is right, whether positive or negative review..Its helps us to know and guide in parent hood.
