Joey Dunlop Leisure Centre: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Great facilities and Friendly and professional staff. The gym is excellent and well equipped. Highly recommended
Fantastic experience: Go to health suite and aqua fit loving it. Aqua fit is suitable for people like me who have fibromyalgia
Fantastic experience: Fantastic, modern and hitech facilities for workout and relaxation. Staff friendly and helpful. Love it.

Fantastic experience: Love it, go every week.
Fantastic experience: Fabulous hidden gem for kiddies playtime.. downside no coffee shop
Positive experience: Went to watch my boys football match here.really nice modern place .the football pitches are down from the main reception area. There is a couple of pitches thus many matches can be going on simultaneously. The only issue I have is there are no where to sit. It's worse when it's raining you are just stuck there. I thought a place like this could do with a wee cafe and chairs for people to sit and away from the rain. Would recommend though
Fantastic experience: Great facility and friendly members! Please turn up the heat in the sauna!
Negative experience: Just about swimming ! New to this leasure centre , booked online where it said there is only ever 5 places available for lane swimming at the time I wanted, which I thought 'great, won't be over crowded '; I already know the schools go during the morning. As it turned out there were 9 adults trying to do laps in 1 Lane!! Which is unrealistic since we all have a different skill level, some fast, others slower. Trying to pass each other in a single lane and getting hit by another swimmer going the opposite way. I left anyway. Wanted to ask at reception on the way out when would be a better time but didn't bother because of the younger receptionists attitude
Fantastic experience: Great spot. Clean.
Positive experience: Spacious parking.friendly staff.clean.enjoyed it.
Fantastic experience: I use it for the shower facilities only, but the gym is well stocked with a variety of machines, there is a spa I have seen (but not used) that looks very nice. Have not seen (or been in) the pool. But it is chlorine (most pools in Calgary where I'm from are salt water... Easier on the clothes and eyes
