The Y North Shore Recreation Centre

Fantastic experience: We take the kids here for Saturday basketball - the coaches are great and the kids have got a lot from these sessions. recommend!

Fantastic experience: Went there for a trial. I like that they are open till 9pm. That is really helpful. The staff were friendly. The girl at the front desk on the first night who took us around the gym, showing us etc forgot who we were on the second night & asked 'have you tagged in?' I had no idea what she was talking about as I never got a tag as was doing a trial. I was so confused! She didn't remember us from the previous night although she spent time personally showing us through the gym. The lady upstairs & the men were friendly. The facilities are varied enough & it is spacious enough. There didn't seem to be much parking as it always seemed full but it is a large facility which makes sense, & luckily we always found a space. My service dog was no worries & next to me in my workouts. They didn't ask any invasive questions just accepted him & welcomed him with care. Thanks for the trial. I will get back to you!

Fantastic experience: A perfect Gym.

Fantastic experience: My wife and I have been part of this gym community for over 4 years. She’s here five times a week, making the most of the free classes included in her membership. The staff are always friendly and genuinely go out of their way to help. Unlike the flashy franchise gyms with deep pockets and glossy marketing, The Y is a true community gym. It relies on the people it serves—and has been around far longer than these modern, overpriced chains that seem more interested in draining your wallet than improving your wellbeing. The Y is an iconic name built on trust, connection, and accessibility. If you want a gym with zero politics, fair value, and the chance to meet real people and make friends, this is the place for you.

Fantastic experience: Gave these guys a ring to book a squash court. I really love how happy the person on the other side is. Clearly someone loves their job Great job Gabby!

Negative experience: Very disappointed with the service. They kept calling me to join the membership, but when I cancelled the membership and was told no more direct debit, but my account was still debited. I called and was told that I would get email confirmation, no email received. Have a second thought if you want to join the membership.

Negative experience: I strongly advise avoiding this place. I informed them on the day the new term started that my child would not be continuing with the basketball club. Despite this, they threatened to involve a debt collector to recover fees for the upcoming term. Extremely disappointing and unacceptable behaviour. Scam service.

Negative experience: I took my toddler to the gymnastics classes, they are pretty much free play which is nice. Coaches are really nice and all but I would have liked it to be a little bit more structured (like showing the children how to safely do so, etc). Also the manager “divesh” is not helpful at all.

Negative experience: I am not recommending ymca North shore my son had a terrible experience there they lost my son in the zoo. Besides they are not properly trained and still I am asking for the manager . A absolutely disaster.

Negative experience: don’t ever apply for a job here

Positive experience: Friendly staff ( review based on gym )overall a great gym - but personally the equipment available, is outdated particularly gym weight machines - for $20 a week better equipment should be available

Fantastic experience: Super friendly staff, great members, classes and equipment.... plus extra sports activities, kids sports and holiday programmes. A really lovely place to be.

Negative experience: Indoor soccer referee is racist and basically useless. Would NOT recommend this venue and I hate the fact that I paid money for a full season. Probably cut my loses and never go back. When I tried to a log a compliant I was escorted out by a police officer that was training at the gym.
