My whole family has been going to the Bloor JCC since we moved to Toronto many years ago.
I now live in the area and spend a ton of time at the gym. It pretty much has it all:
- nice facilities
- a new basketball court
- every type of weight and machine you could need
- a salt water pool
- a great saltwater hot tub and wet and dry saunas
While not everyone lives in the neighbourhood, the JCC is perfectly located at Bloor and Spadina right on two subway lines.
Most importantly the people who run the place and people I meet by chance are all great. The staff get to know people by name and are super friendly and I have made some good friends just randomly meeting people while working out.
