| - Centennial Fitness Centre is runned by Town of Markham, so it operates a little different than the privated owned fitness centres.
There are no salepersons! no one will try to sell you any personal training packages, fitness assessment, peronalized fitness programs. They do provides them if that's what you needs.
There are no initial fees, membership promotions on the radio, the prices are the same year round unless you want to join the 3 months summer membership which is at a discounted rate. All the rates/fees are posted so there are no hidden fees.
Memberships includes:
A comprehensive fitness appraisal and counselling session
A personalized exercise program
Supervision by highly knowledgeable fitness professionals
Aerobic classes townwide
Use of all Town-owned pools, including Aquafit, lane swim and recreation swim
Use of Thornhill and Centennial Fitness Centres
The equipment room is nice and open with big floor to ceiling windows. The equipments are clean and up to date. There is at least 2 fitness trainers supervising and they are more than happy to show you how to use the equipments or the machines.
The changeroom has 4 showers, a sauna, a whirlpool and tons of day lockers for use.
And the use of town wide swimming pools for lane/recreation swim and aquafit classes is a plus! All you need is to flash your membership card and you get in for free!
The only thing is the fitness classes, you do need to enroll online every terms. So I ended up waking up at 6:30 AM to register in order to get in some of the classes! Fitness members are put on waitlist if not enough non members are enrolling then members got a spot. I usually have no problems getting into the classes I want because they are mostly non prime time classes!
The monthly fees are charged every month to my credit card around ($43) and you do need to renewal every year if you do want to continue with your membership.
There are specials for seniors, full time students and financial aids are available with proof of income.
