Abilities Centre Review

The facilities were clean, staff were also friendly but I'm giving 1 star because when the covid-19 pandemic hit, they closed the building in March yet still decided to take payment from customers for March AND April. They then used this "lieu time" once they reopned on modified hours AND you had to book time slots in advance.
I filled out a cancellation form and was told it would be cancelled right away and that I would not be charged again (becuase I offered to pay my final month right then) but they still charged me. Bad business practices here and a lot of communication problems.
I will not be signing up here again.

One of the best community centre in Whitby ... Good place and lot of options for any age

Fantastic facility, full track, courts, activities for families. I haven't seen a better facility in the GTA that welcomes all!

Fantastic facility with amazing staff. Very welcoming to everyone, no matter age or ability. Being a member makes you part of a strong community, and it is a place that supports both mental and physical health and wellness. Programs and equipment are great. We're lucky to have a facility like this in Durham Region.

Great staff. Clean facility. Follows covid protocols

My family and I are very happy with our experience with this facility. It is very clean and open to all for a fair price.
The schedule offers many different types of classes for kids and adults.
If there were one thing I would say that could be improved it would be the early closing times - 8 pm on the weekends- 10 pm on weekdays..

Decent enough place, but way over priced. It says a lot when LA Fitness is better priced with better facilities.

Really large, clean arena encouraging rehab and also promoting active lifestyle

This is an awesome facility! Great choice of various fitness classes for adults, sports/arts classes for kids, super friendly and knowledgeable staff. Clean change rooms, new equipment. They also have a fun sensory room for children. This is an all inclusive facility for people with all abilities.

Amazing facility and staff. Thorough covid protocols.

This is a good facility. Good equipment and options for children as well. Well maintained.

Did not instantly turn into an absolute unit after working out here. Otherwise pretty good.

Excellent facilities for everyone no matter their age or physical ability.

A great place to meet and greet people and get a good workout for a great price with friendly atmosphere of people

Came to use the track on a very bitter wintry day. Overall a really great experience.

It's a Really nice place to workout and see Friend's there tom

There is a lot of opportunity for self paced exercises, classes, and programs.

The field house is amazing.

Excellent place. Affordable pricing for a non-profit that feels good to support. Great facilities and equipment. Great people and the sport facilities are nice. Only difficulties are out of the way location and closing at 10pm and earlier on weekends.

Excellent environment and a lot of facilities. Perfect for even just walking and jogging if you wish to do it indoors. Great family membership pricing.

A wonderful facility! The indoor track is great for cardio exercise. The programs and classes provided are great and plentiful.

I had really enjoyed it here and the atmosphere is comfortable. The loss of 2 stars is that they changed their rates and charged me double with no notification, just an unpleasant surprise.

This is a great centre / gym for families and everyone interested in staying fit. The Abilities Centre has many programs to choose from, - ie, 2 Yoga classes a day, spin classes, workout classes, an indoor track around 3 basketball courts, weight rooms, and machines including elliptical trainers, steps, bikes, tread mills, row machines, etc. Children programs and indoor playground. Pretty much something for everyone. The Iroquois Centre is right next door that offers a swimming pool and many ice rinks. The swimming pool is included in a membership with the Abilities Centre.
I recommend this gym for all its amenities and friendly staff.

Great facility with friendly staff. All the equipment you require for a workout. Great track and courts for all kinds of sports. Well worth the money.

Great place for exercise especially for people with disabilities

Good gym has a lot to offer for good monthly prices

Legacy of Jim Flaherty, kudos to Christine Elliott.

Great place to join exercise classes, walk the track , lift weights or spin cycle a little.

they kicked us out 15 min early in he cold when it was -20 outside and i have year membership.And people steal stuff in the change rooms so i dont recommend leaving anything in there.

Excellent gym for people who are differently abled.

Great centre offering various sporting activities for able body and those with various disabilities. Also, facilities for other events like banquets, etc.

Great place to explore and inquire about available courses and programs

I been there many times for my sports social nights, class trips, Thinking ahead nights, summer camp and dances. It's a very special place for all people to come and have a great time here.

Great staff, great facilities that are nearly open 24-7, great community vibe, and has all gym equipment needed for people of all abilities. Also quite a clean environment.

An awesome fitness facility if you're young, a senior or have a developmental disability. Staff are very courteous & helpful.

We were here for a Basketball tournament. Hovering staff complaining about ANYTHING the kids were doing. "Dont touch this". "Dont do that". "Cant play there". "Not allowed in gym" ridiculous. Will not return.

Very nice place for people with disabilities. All the stations are well accessible

The place is clean and has a family friendly atmosphere.

I going there for abouts 5 months. My cardiovascularrehab

Not your conventional gym! It had all the equipment and services I need and a great inclusive atmosphere.

Great gym, great people ... our family loves it here

Amazing addition for the Durham Region! Excellent Staff and Facilities!

We go there as a family. My kids (10 and 11) play basketball while husband and I workout. My one problem with the place is that my kids are rep athletes and would like to get stronger to help their game, well this place don't let kids under 14 use any resistance training tools even under parent supervision. Not the weight sled or the box jump, not even the resistance rope or any other accessories. When signing up, I signed a liability waiver, so I don't see what's the big deal. They're not using the machines!! At least offer a Hiit/resistance training class for kids?? I'd like training to be part of my kids life.

Solid place to workout... Good facilities. Rubber weights to powerlift and a decent running track. Good staff and no mest heads at this gym.

its a good time overall, come and visit for the best worst experience of your entire day

A really splendid facility. What is disappointing tough is that the only way you can get to the centre is in a car. It's not easily accessible from the GO Station or by bus and the entrance is set way back behind a sea of parking, this defeating it's purpose to be "inclusive" by excluding anyone who isn't able or wealthy enough to have add drive a car or be dropped off in one.

I am here now. I like the place where my son and husband can play badminton together. Have father and son time together.

Terrible experience. They say they are totally inclusive, but they would not accommodate for my disability and let me run on the track. When I formally requested accommodation they did not follow the proper procedures as outlined in the Ontario Human Rights code.
