Review of Kerrisdale Community Centre

A great place to come for a quick workout or swim!...

A great place to come for a quick workout or swim! They have a good selection of cardio equipment and easy to use weight equipment. They also have a separate area for weight lifting. There s two squat racks! Amazing! The bars have good knurlings that doesn t make it slippery. They also have little mats for when you want to deadlift. One rule to powerlifting in this gym is to not do what you don t know... So, please don t do any jerky upward/downward movements as it s a safety precaution to yourself and other participants around you. The gym is also an unsupervised area ( there s a large warning sign for everyone to read). The two downsides to the gym is that the weight room is a bit too cozy for me and that the upholstery for the bench is well worn out. This just means whenever I did bench, I found my shoulders slipping and I couldn t properly make my back arch because of it. There are also cubbies and lockers to use. However, you would need to bring your own lock.

The pool is a excellent cool temperature for swimming lengths. The pool water is clear and isn t murky. They have a master s swim program in a binder where you can follow the set workout. There s also a very popular aquacize/aquafit classes here with terrific music selection. The pool length is a standard 25M and has a good depth!

Overall, a fantastic community to workout and socialize. Everyone is welcoming and warm! I would definitely recommend friends and family to come try it out.
