Stopped by here a couple of weeks ago on a weekday afternoon and was pretty impressed with the setup for a facility that's been around this long. The staff at the front desk were friendly and pointed me right to the right entrance without any hassle. It's got that good old community arena feel, nothing fancy but well kept, and the ice was in solid shape when I was there. Parking around the block filled up fast but it was worth circling for a couple minutes to get in.
About YWCA Health + Fitness Centre
The YWCA Health + Fitness Centre is a premier fitness facility located in the heart of downtown Vancouver. With two convenient locations, members have access to a 30,000 square-foot co-ed gym and pool, as well as squash/racquetball courts and ample workout areas. The centre offers a friendly and supportive environment, with a variety of classes including dance, Zumba, and Pilates.
The facilities are kept clean and well-organized, with a wide range of equipment and machines. The staff are generally helpful and friendly, though there have been some reports of rude behavior from certain trainers. The centre is praised for its cleanliness, lack of overcrowding, and diverse range of amenities.
However, the membership comes with additional costs, such as a $20 per month suspension fee and a $45 cancellation fee. Additionally, the pool area can get crowded at times, and the centre is not exclusively for self-identified females, which some members have expressed concerns about. Overall, the YWCA Health + Fitness Centre remains a popular choice for fitness enthusiasts in the Vancouver area.

Excellent gym with swimming pool and variety of fitness classes downtown. There is a sauna room, steam room and hot tub. Staff are very nice and helpful and changing rooms are spotlessly clean. They even have an automatic machine that spins water out from your swimsuit and a steamer for your clothes if they are wrinkled so you can leave looking refreshed after your workout. The gym is well-equipped with all kinds of props for all your fitness needs. The fitness classes have excellent instructors and they provide towels and disinfectants for cleaning the fitness equipment before using. There are water fountains everywhere. There are tons of lockers in the changing rooms,… read full review
