Hey I just found this list with the different gyms that are available in all provinces throughout Canada. Good to know if you are looking into a new gym, or trying to find one in your area. They even have youth sports camps etc, etc, as well as information on drugs and supplements.

Canadian Gyms (http://www.usgyms.net/canada.htm)

People can also try out YMCA. They are all over the world. :hurray:

Yes, I agree, YMCA and GOLD's gym just opened up in my city. Supposed to be a very good one from the very beginnings.

I always choose gyms that are IPFA affiliated (International Physical Fitness Association). Sometimes it can cost a tiny bit more on the membership, but with any gym that is IPFA affiliated, you can work out at as long as you have the documents to show your gym participates in the program & your membership is active, the gym you are attending participates, and it is not within 30kms of your own gym. I won't join a gym that does not participate, as, if I move or travel (even to another country), I can still use my membership. When you move you can transfer your membership to another IPFA gym, and use your current membership until it runs out (as long as you have had the membership for a certain amount of time). It is a fantastic program!

I used to be at the Y too. THe good thing about them is that they are cheap and have so many differnet facilities. Also I like extreme fitness. They have so many locations everywhere. But some of them suck - they are old and smelly
