Waterfront Pool & Fitness Centre - Temiskaming Shores, Ontario

We were in town for a work trip. We used both the fitness centre and the pool. My husband and son swam while I went to the fitness centre. For a reasonable fee we were able to use both. The staff was friendly. The pool was clean and having a hot tub was great! The fitness centre was good enough for me. Some equipment was older but it worked. There were 3 rooms, I didn’t realize there was a 3rd room downstairs until I was finished. So, plenty of space! We would definitely go back if we are ever in town again.

Very small pool with only 2 lanes but for the few days that I was in town, it worked! The pool water is excellent.I am a lap pool swimmer but I hate it when pool establishments assume lap pool swimmers want to swim in ice cold water! This water was approx 29 degrees Celsius and was superbe. There is a giant hot tub and a sauna in the change rooms. Love it. There is only one shower but the water is piping hot which is unusual for me. Most public lap pools have cold shower water. Staff is SUPER FRIENDLY and they speak French too which is a bonus for me as a Francophone. The entrance fee is very cheap. The pool is located on the Waterfront which is such a beautiful scenic area. Love this place. Great job Waterfront Pool !

$65/month for a gym with 3 treadmills That's insane. The only people who would disagree have clearly never left New Liskeard. Yes, it is the only gym available, which is why they are way overcharging just because they can. In the city $50/month is an expensive gym membership, and would include at least a dozen treadmills, much more equipment that is newer and actually functioning properly, and group classes, which are literally not even available here. And no, the layout does not make any sense. The view is great, but mirrors are more important than windows. There should be a whole section for mats, not have them hidden in a corner. And there is a lot of equipment that just isn't available. The town is expanding, people are moving here, its time for the amenities to expand. Especially for the amount being charged. Literally the worst fitness centre I've ever seen. Way overpriced. There's 3 treadmills and 1 elliptical, there's maybe a 25% chance you'll get to use the equipment you want, equipment is randomly scattered all over the place in no logical manner, some is hidden in random closets. Not worth the money at all

I'm only writing this because Of Melanie Morane's and others unfair reviews

Yes it's expensive, But it's the only gym in new Liskeard. I haven't had an issue with over crowding. You don't need more then three treadmills in a gym, just walk outside. The lay out isn't random like she says. The machine room facing the lake is arms and shoulders with some legs. The Machine room to the left of that is legs, back, and cardio. Downstairs is powerlifting, Bench, deadlifts, etc. The layout makes sense if you familiarize yourself with the gym.

A person said there wasn't a place to deadlift; there is...
One fellah left a 1 star because he hadn't paid to use the bikes and was told to get off them

I love almost every worker here, especially the pool staff. I think front reception should be much more attentive to facility access (i.e. not locking swimmers in the change room whilst soaking wet), with more authoritative decision making capabilities.

For a small community this facility was great!
Easy to find and lots of parking. Once inside the front staff got us quickly in to the pool area.
Changing rooms could be bigger but we were not there for the changing rooms. The pool is huge. A huge area designed for the younger kids. The staff were very nice and energetic. Hot tub was very large. The deep end of the pool allowed for the older kids to play in there own area. Definitely will be returning.

I like this gym however it is wayyyy too hot for a gym. The thermostat is set for 23° C. That is too hot for people who are going to get hot working out. I walk in ready to workout and I’m already sweating without doing anything, and I am someone who is always cold and likes warm temperatures. The heat is very uncomfortable and makes working out more tiring. IMO, a gym should be colder not hotter. I’ve mentioned this to the staff a few times and nothing was done about it. Other than that, the gym is good.

Friendly staff. There is some gym equipment to fit most exercises, but some of the other basics are missing like a deadlift platform. The cable and Smith machines are in good locations, but the room with the free weights has poor air circulation.

Edit: may not have deadlift platforms, but the Cross-fit room is a suitable alternative for deadlifting.

Edit: Gym etiquette is mostly okay, but some people don't put away weights, don't wipe down benches and I've been interrupted several times as I was about to start sets.
