YMCA of Pictou County

Love it here. Staff is very friendly, sauna included at the swimming pool, and free WiFi. What more could you want from a Wellness Center??!! Regularly return here.

Went with our two kids ages 5 and 7. They loved the lazy river. Swimming pool is nice. Kids were sad they couldn’t use hot tub but I understand why they have an age limit. Change rooms were very clean. Price was a little high - $35 for family of 4. We visit a lot of community pools on road trips and the going rate is usually $20 per family. Kids were cold after an hour. Pool was warm but air inside was cool.

Complaint ....I hosted a birthday party for my son on January 28th and I could not believe how rude the staff and manager were. First I was lied to when I booked the party and inquired about the large pool and offered to pay extra, I was told they don't book the big pool but if no one was in it the boys can use it as they are older and in swimming lessons. When we got there the boys jumped into the big pool as there was no one else there. They were told to get out and when I explained to the manager what I was told upon booking she called me a liar and said no one would have told me that, that's when I got mad and decided I would never book there again. One of my guests came late and instead of asking if they were with us, the life guard went up to them and pointed at the door and said OUT". I was blown away.Then we asked for the tunes for the lazy river and were told they didn't have them

Absolutely wonderful place with countless options for kids and adults of all ages‼️

This is just based on the fitness centre: The gym is pretty small, and not the best for an intense leg workout. However, it’s not usually that busy (from the times I visited anyway), and they have a nice variety of attachments for the cable machines. The staff are nice and the gym is pretty clean. I do wish there was a washroom upstairs, though. If there is one, I could never find it…. The Change rooms are on the main level are sometimes a bit messy.

Love bringing the kids here to swim but I find the cost of close to $40 for a family of four to swim is outrageous.

The plans are terrible, age restrictions should not apply. Do what every other family plan does and allow 4-5 members on a plan. Not every family dynamic is the same and every family should be able to not only find a plan for the entire family but one that is affordable. If you want to be inclusive, build a family plan that is, especially if the price is $145 a month plus a $50 signup fee and proration.

I was ignored at the front desk for almost 15 minutes and was appalled at the price of a 1 hour family swim for myself and my 3 year old. Needless to say, I left.

One of my favorite places to visit. The staff is very friendly and my children love Tina at the front desk :)

Membership is good especially as a student and there is no long term commitment. You have access to the pool, gym and court which I would rate the facilities a 7/10.
