I’ve been a member of the Vaughan Center for over a year, and it is beyond incredible. Tons of cardio equipment, free weights, and weight machines. Free towels and a new filtered water dispenser to help push through your workout. I’ve also done personal training through the Vaughan. My trainer, Brett was fantastic and the rates(especially when you buy more than one session at a time) were great compared to many places. They have tons of different(free for members!) classes like Zumba and yoga to keep workouts fun. Indoor waterpark for the kiddos or kiddos at hear and two huge pools for laps or their aquatic classes. Adorable indoor playground and child area where trained staff will watch your kiddos for a very low price while you get your workout in. The only section I haven’t visited is the tennis courts. Huge parking lot, however BEWARE. It seems that most diets start on a Monday night between 6−8pm, so the place is PACKED. Avoid if you are able. I’ve dealt with the guest services a few times and each time, they are very courteous.

I have been a member of the Vaughn Center for 5 years now and am a very satisfied customer. There are tons of cardio machines– I have never have had to wait. They also recently upgraded most of the treadmills, which have the TV built right in. Checking in is quick and easy. The staff is always friendly and helpful. There is lots of places to go. I do wish the track was bigger, because in the afternoons there are always the pokey people meandering around the track in a group of two or three that takes up most of the track. Pools are nice and there is always adult lap swim. A hot tub would be a great add in though. My only complaint is the locker rooms. In the afternoon, all the swim lesson kids make the floor super wet, so your clothes get wet when you are changing. Also, the water feels soapy(or something). I feel like there is still soap on me when there is not. The showers are also not the cleanest. I used the nicer, extra cost locker room once, which was much better, but the water still had that soapy feel.

I’m not a member of this facility but I drop in to use their track when it gets to hot outside! The facility is clean, staff is friendly & it seems well equipped! I think the track on the other hand is a bit small but is of great help to me!

This place is basically a mini-indoor water park. They have a slide and big dump bucket. There are places for the little kiddies to play and the big kids to run, slide, and shoot water. It gets crowded on the weekends and the hours are a little odd, but it is a great way to spend a cold afternoon.

Went to Turbokick and it was a BLAST! It’s def not for the faint of heart although all shapes and sizes are accepted and there is no ego in this class. Theresa works it and works you hard to some pretty decent music. It’s cardio so you’ll def be sweating, only warning is to maybe consider a different class if your knees are bad because there’s a lot of jumping around and whatnot. Overall, it’s a good time!
