Facility Features
Our 7060.6 square metres field house houses a 200m MONDO© Track, 3 full basketball courts, 5 rock climbing walls, a high ropes obstacle course, an accessible outdoor playground, and 7 Olympic weightlifting platforms. The MONDO track is cushioned to absorb the impact of the foot hitting it and transmit it into the floor rather than back up at the runner/walker. This results is a lower impact to the bones and joints.
Our aquatic facility features 2 swimming pools!
We have a 25m long, 15m wide deep pool with a depth that ranges from 1.5m – 4m. It is divided into 6 lanes by Antiwave © lane ropes (developed for the 2000 Sydney Olympics). The pool temperature is kept at 30 C.
Our recreation pool is a shallow 15m by 15m pool with a maximum depth of 1.5m and a .6m shallow end. It is equipped with assistive railings around the edge of the pool and a gradual ramp leading into it. This pool is also kept at 30 C.
In addition to our 2 main pools, we have a 33 C hot pool. This pool is very shallow (approximately .6m) and has high pressure jets along one side of it to give you that much needed post-workout massage.
Our Cardio room features the latest equipment from Life Fitness, Technogym, and Matrix. Over 30 machines including treadmills, elliptical machines, Concept II rowers, Summit Trainers, recumbent and standard bicycles, stair climbers, and hand cycles provide a variety of ways to achieve your cardiovascular workout.
With over 10,000 pounds of weight at your disposal, our state-of-the-art weight room features the latest equipment from Atlantis, Apex, York Barbell Co., and Ivanko Barbell Co. The Apex line of machines offers the adaptable quality of a removable seat that can accommodate wheelchairs and power wheelchairs of all varieties. The Atlantis line offers a full range of adjustability in all elements of the machine. Weights can be adjusted within 5lb increments. Our plates are made by the York Barbell Co. and are of the highest quality. Our dumbbells are made by the Ivanko Barbell Co. (recognized by the International Powerlifting Federation).
