when i first moved to ONtario 6 yrs ago, the Y was technically my first gym...for some reason, i lvoed it...everyone would smash the place, but i felt so comfy there...pool, sauna, gym, cardio..its got it all...and unfortuneatley, it has alot of kids and people that are not there to work out...to advance my bodybuilding lifestyle, i had to make a choice and leave there...
for the recreational person who is not into hardcore bodybuilding, the YMCA is quite accpetable (4 out of 5 stars)
Body DEVELOPMENT: not long open, near christoper dr and champlain, its new, which is also scary as its not a proven success. it has decent weights, not overly huge, nice carido and somewhat decent showers...not a huge gym atmospehere, but its what you make of it. 2.5 out of 5
BODY QUEST: suks...too many "bell-heads", and machines are so cramped together... 2.5 out 5
fit-4life: now being renovated...cant comment on this one
BLITZ 4 men: stay the hell away..comeplete joke, i could make this gym up with $350 and a trip to a zellers liquidation event... .5 out 5
POP-EYE's: even though in kitchener, it is the gym of gyms, 24-7 different floors of varying gear...awesome stuff... 4 out of 5
hope this helps somewhat...lord knows it brought back some awesome emmories form the Y...lol
