Jamie Platz Family YMCA

This gym uses their space really well and provides several power racks and a couple of platforms to allow for a multitude of exercises to be performed in a smaller space. The atmosphere is decent here too, with a wide range of people and abilities. I feel like their size limits what they can have here though, so there is something left to be desired.

We love going to YMCA and keep for work out, attend Yoga class, Zumba class, cycling and so much more!

I like that I have a sense of belonging, and feel included. I enjoy entering the building, and being greeted. That greeting adds to my motivation to do my best. In the workout centre there are plenty of spaces to do warm-ups, physio exercises, weighs, cardio and more. The people there are terrific!It's a great facility for everyone.

I had a bad experience recently at YMCA Collingwood area because last March 6, 2023 (Monday) we went there together with my kids for my son’s soccer lesson, so my son changed his shoes since his wearing a sneakers which is not allowed during practice, he put his sneaker in the family change room locker and unfortunately his shoes was STOLEN and i was frustrated because it was only worn a couple of times and it’s his favourite shoes. I reported the incident to the facility staff and I was told to to email the manager directly and sadly I haven’t gotten any response from the manager even after sending two separate email about the incident. I also tried calling the YMCA to talk to the manager but I was not able to get a hold with the manager because he was not on duty. Today, I spoke with the manager March 8, 2023 and she said she can’t do anything about it, i tried asking if they could look the CCTV footage in the lobby for us to identify the culprit and for then to help me with the incident. But sadly she can’t do anything about it. If only they could’ve offered me anything to help or maybe a discount or something that would at least appease the situation or the incident that we experience or even apologize for not responding in my email and ensuring me that he will report the incident so it won’t happen again and for the other members to be aware as well, but unfortunately I was only given a response that they can’t do anything about it. So, since this incident happen it’s hard to trust the facility for safety of your belongings especially it was a designated area to store your personal belongings.

I love all the group fitness options at Jamie Platz. Right now, I attend the evening Aquafit classes three nights a week and each night the session and instructor is different. I really enjoy the varied approaches each instructor brings. As well, because many of the same people attend the same classes, there is a real sense of family and community between us all. I look forward to my time at the Y and intend to continue to make it a constant in my life. I would highly recommend it to anyone who was looking to improve their health and wellness.

Love it!! Recommend it to everyone we know! Staff is amazing. Facility is super clean and well maintained. Awesome location with lots of diversity in options as well as great hours!!

I will rate 5 stars for the recreation centre but 0 for the reception. The lady who work today July 7,2023 at the reception around 3 ish was probably having a bad day, she forgot that she must respect and value all customers or people around her. I hope she had a training for good manners and right conduct. She seemed to be needing a lot of patience sitting in the front. She doesn’t have good communication skills. To the lady, pls. respect others. Thank you..

It's all good. Excellent staff both full time and volunteers, available programs, excellent equipment and workout area, online booking, change rooms, and the list could go on and on.

a very nice Kodokwai club in YMKA. Attentive approach to each child. Thanks to the coaches for their work

Kids were members of the swim lessons for years. They started at William Lutsky and continued at Jamie Platz. Two years ago their out of schedule due to unavailability of swimming schedule (talked with Manager at J. Platz), and this situation happened again this year. They have more swimmers than the available swim instructors/schedules. Seems no one tracking the swimmers numbers towards number of instructors. Keep adding new members but displacing older members by not adding new swim schedules. Good service is a responsibility of YMCA thus to provide all members a swim schedule. Thanks. Please improve.
