This gym is clean, well-equipped, and super convenient to access. However, it seems a bit small for how many students and the general public they serve. I worry that, even with all the work being done on the gym, its capacity will be far outpaced by increased demand, especially if MacEwan reaches their goal of 30,000 students by 2030.

I have been bringing my Nephew to his Monday evening swimming lessons the past couple of weeks. His Instructor has been amazing with him. However there is this other woman who I assume also works there who sits/stand and glares at specifically one of the instructor and there class. I can tell it’s making the instructor nervous. She looks like she’s about to cry when this woman just stands there and glares at her. If this is the case and this woman works here I feel as if she should fix her demeanour or something Because acting like that towards a colleague and specifically towards one certain colleague is never acceptable. I was gonna keep my mouth shut, but I just felt so bad for the instructor. and if this woman is a parent, I feel as though someone should talk to her about making the staff uncomfortable. Overall though I really enjoy my nephew’s instructor his instructor has been attentive, creative, and excited to be there. And we haven’t had any other bad experiences at this pool. This one instance, however, is really bugging me and it’s making me rethink about wanting to spend more time here than necessary. Edit: I was able to confirm that the woman worked there and that she’s Basically there to help the instructors. After watching this go on For a few weeks it’s honestly disgusting that they let their staff behave in this manner towards children and other staff members. Like you’re telling me you’re trying to help when all you do is stand and glare. I can’t believe Macewan university sports and wellness allowed this to go on for so long shame on this team.

My child used to enjoy swimming lessons here, but after being assigned to a particular instructor, everything changed. The instructor is impatient and doesn’t treat my child kindly, which has made him anxious and uncomfortable. I raised my concerns, but nothing was done. We’re now looking for a more supportive environment.

It's a good gym, and there's a great pool. The lifeguards are great, very friendly.The aquasize size teachers are amazing . Sometimes you go to the gym and the pool and it's completely dead, which is awesome. But I think that the gym could use more sanitation and cleaning. People wipe the machines down, but there's paper stating that we shouldn't wipe the screens down. The screens are really dirty and they're not wiped down or cleaned properly, that is gross . And it would be really nice if the staff could do more checking up in the gym. There are alot of loud screaming girls it's hard to even listen or enjoying a good workout at times when you can hear them over your headphones. It's not an indoor playground.

MacEwan University’s fitness centre has kind of an odd shape to it, kind of resembling a zig zag. Aside from that, this facility offers very nice equipment and the culture here is also very positive with the student population. It can be quite busy during traditional semester months (September-April) in the afternoons and evenings, but aside from that offers a really great environment to train in with equipment for any training style.
