Mount Royal University Recreation

Awesome gym! The pricing is great for what you get! Unlike other gyms in Calgary I like how MRU has all the equipment spread out compared to being cramped into one small area.Would strongly recommend. The only con is parking.

Good pool with very friendly staff! I had a lovely experience with Julia and Sydney, and look forward to coming back. As some feedback, the pool deck is quite slippery, and should be improved to make it safer for everyone. Would recommend to others for lessons!!

Terrible experience with my children’s swimming lesson. Better not be in any lessons than these ones. Instructors don’t pay attention.

I’ve been coming to this gym since 2013. Unfortunately the facilities continue to go down hill. The hot tub has been closed since 2019. Now the steam room is no longer working and the staff have no idea when or if it can be repaired.Really sad to see a gym that I’ve loved coming to for years become derelict and poorly managed.End of an era.

Decent gym, love the indoor track to keep moving in the winter. but the weight room weights are probably closing in on 20 years old. The 45lb plates are steel, haven't seen that in 10+ years. Could use upgraded equipment. Only 4 stars this time

I've been using this facility for over a decade. It's always clean. The staff is friendly. They have so many options for things to do. If you like being active, you're going to love MRU Recreation.

Excellent facility with lots of machines and equipment. Got just about everything you need for any physical activity you want to do; everything from climbing wall to Muay Thai bags. The turn offs are the amount of questions and identification they ask just to drop in or get a membership. Almost like taking a flight or renting a car.

The fitness facilities here are pretty good. There’s lots of space and area to do your workouts. They have multiple fitness facilities which makes it very good. The staff here are all very friendly. I prefer Mount Royal recreation centre to Westside Recreation centre. The only criticism I have towards this place would be that every now and then they would close down the running track for school exams and midterms. As well as other events. I think this can be a bit unfair for people who pay a lot of money for memberships at this place. I hope it can be rectified. A lot of people count on using the running track and the other machines upstairs. It’s not as crowded as the downstairs fitness facilities and the multi purpose room.

As I student I really enjoy the gym, it’s got everything and the staff are usually really nice and helpful. I’m just frustrated that I wanted to bring my brother who is 15 to workout with me (I’m 22) and I checked the website for prices and i talked to someone at the front desk a few days ago to see if it was okay to bring him. They informed it was all good as long he’s accompanied by an adult which would have been me. I got there and they informed me he’s not aloud to in the gym unless he takes a safe lifting course which they aren’t offering right now. I told I called and they didn’t tell me that. They turned us away which I understand is the rules but it would have been nice to know before driving 40 mins each way because gas isn’t cheap and I wouldn’t of gone if I was informed properly the first time.

The best facility I’ve ever used especially playing squash and yea great running track and fitness centreMOUNT ROYAL RECREATION THE BEST FACILITY IN THE CITY
