Trent University Athletic Centre

It's convenient for university students, but it's been extremely busy the past few months. Often the machines will all be busy, especially the cardio machines upstairs so you have wait or pick something else. Simply not enough available for the busy times. The space upstairs is poorly organized for dynamic workouts as well. However, it's great when it's quiet. No complaints about cleanliness, and the classes are great as well.

Good facilities. Having the cardio area look over the gym and rock climbing wall area is a really nice touch. Nothing bad to say about the overall layout of the place, except for when it gets busy. When it's busy because of the limited size of all areas it can feel a little overwhelming and claustrophobic. The one gripe I have is with the gym itself, and that is regarding the machines. Unfortunately because of the limited size of the area, there's only one hamstring curl machine, for example. When this machine is out of service, there's evidently no other machine and all one can do is wait until it is fixed. That machine specifically has been 'out of service' for almost 4 weeks now, at least. Other machines have started to be 'out of service' now, never mind the ones that have been for months already now. With the space being busy as it is for each session, there has to be emphasis on fixing these machines in a respectable time frame. Seemingly it is as though when one machine is slightly messed up or completely off kilter, its slapped with an 'out of service' sticker and nothing happens.

Staff is helpful, professional, and knowledgeable. Very well sanitized. Can't wait for the sauna to open.

Great facility. Lots of scheduled and free activities. Clean. My only qualm would be that the Physio and Massage department relies a bit to much on phone calls even though they have on-line booking.

Good facility with a 25m pool, 2 storey workout gym with a rock climbing wall, multiple yoga studios, squash/racquetball courts and a basketball court with upstairs viewing for both the latter two. Membership is a fair price and the staff is largely comprised of friendly students.

Probably not the best gym for swimmers (who aren't in a club). Mixed feelings. It's a lovely facility in a beautiful location, and has friendly staff. The pool is well-maintained and kept at a beautiful temperature for swimming. My locker rental is a reasonable price. On the flip side, the pool is so rented-out that lane swim offerings in the early morning and evening hours are pretty scarce - members are lucky to have access to three lanes for 90 minutes or less four nights of the week, and share the pool with public swims. The morning lane swim is from 7:30 to 9:00, which isn't great if you don't work or study at Trent. Trent's my alma mater and I love it there but after seeing the swim options reduce over the last year or two, I'm not so sure it's the right gym for me.

Super nice facilities!

It's okay, they have most equipment in the gym but the layout is terrible. Once there's more than 5-6 people in the workout gym it feels cramped

The pool lifeguards are incompetent. They regularly turn their backs to the pool when guarding. The supervisors don't seem to care as they have their guards do pool tests and run the rope swing while also guarding". Today there were 27 people in the pool and the one guard on duty was full on talking to his friend with his back turned to the pool. Would not recommend weaker swimmers come to this pool."

Pretty solid gym. Friendly staff and good machines. Its a but small but at the right times it's good enough
