Tait McKenzie Centre

The pool was so clean and it was just the right temperature. The change rooms were also clean. The staff was also friendly. 5 stars.

I’ve used the swimming pool and the gym. The swimming pool is clean and not very crowded. It’s 25 meters long. The gym was a bit cluttered and busy when I was there.

This is a great place to write final exams here at York University. As a York University Alumni, I liked that this exam center here at Ian MacDonald Boulevard and Thompson Road had lots of tables and comfortable seats available with a nice quiet environment enforced by the invigilators to help students like myself achieve the highest level of success possible for their courses while trying to keep the assessment as fair as possible by making sure that no cheating is happening during the exams. I would like to revisit this building one day to use their recreational facilities like the gym, the basketball court, or the pool instead of always visiting this building to write my final exams for my courses because I have heard from other reviewers that are students like I once was myself saying that the gym membership is very affordable compared to other fitness chains, the gym is very spacious with lots of equipment to choose from depending on the muscle group that you are focusing on for your workout routines, and although it may get busy in the peak times during the semester, it is a great place to workout before, in between, or after classes, so this is a gym to think about visiting when I return to this campus to pursue either a Master's Degree, a graduate certificate or both. I have also heard that this facility has squash courts, softball courts, tennis ball courts, grass playing fields, a pool, aquatics classes, and many more amenities where you can rent these rooms with other people to have matches and challenge yourself against one another, which can definitely take your athleticism to a whole new level, so these amenities are something that I may consider in the future when I visit this campus for graduate studies, and want to take up and learn the skills of many different sports during my breaks besides lifting weights at the gym. So, this is definitely an attraction that I would like to revisit purely for my own entertainment purposes instead of always visiting this stadium for academic purposes to complete my final exams for my degree that I just finished here at York University.

Apparently you need to buy a locker to protect your belongings. Put my stuff in a locker and had my own lock to use while i was occupied. Came back to see my lock gone and had to ask the front desk about it. Apparently they will cut your lock if you dont buy a locker in the change room and do so with no repercussions. As much as they enforce on buying a locker in the change room to milk out the money the school already does just for tuition, they wont reimburse you with a new lock just for the inconvenience. Now left with a broken lock and asked if I wanted to buy a new one from them...

Been going here since september, mostly like to go in the mornings because it tends to get busy after 11am. Lots of machines and lots of dumbbells with max weight of 110lb I believe. Other than getting very busy during 11am-4pm it’s convenient if you go to york keele campus and would like to get a workout in.

Probably one of the worst facilities to do business with. Been trying to rent the facility for a month and have been negotiating the entire time for an event that was originally 2 month away. After weeks of negotiating the price kept rising from $1,122 to $3000+ to $5000 a month out. Reluctantly were going to agree then they responded and said they actually decided to decline they event. One month out of our event which means possible a cancellation due to bad faith negotiations. I highly suggestion not doing business or renting from York as you have to deal with unions to prepare the facility or space and a management group that is willing to leave you hanging dry after 1 month of negotiations.

It’s nice to go to during the quieter times like the summer but during the regular school year it’s very busy so there’s long waits.

We went for northern karate graduation ceremony. Place is wonderful.

I had a good experience so far with some minor problems. The gym is usually empty in the mornings which makes it ideal. It is also clean and the staff are friendly. You do have to book your time slot well in advance and you will only have 1 hr to workout, warmup, access the locker room etc. Time can be tight depending on your routine.

Great stuff! It has more than enough equipment to accommodate even the busiest hours. The machines are clean, safe and in good condition. There's machines for every muscle group and the free weight area is equipped as well. The core and strength area is perfect for deadlifting and other strength exercises. It's spacious and has the right amount and type of equipment, not to mention that it is neat and tidy too! Sometimes you might have to wait 1-2 minutes to get the machine you want but that's with every gym. If you're a York student, with $15 a year, there's a lot to like and if you live on campus, I highly recommend it!
