Sioux Lookout Recreation Centre - Sioux Lookout, Ontario

Sarshad H.

I had an extremely disappointing experience at Sioux Lookout Recreation Centre regarding an incident of harassment and intimidation by two other gym members. Instead of addressing my concerns seriously, the administration completely shifted the focus onto a minor gym rule violation (not wearing shoes) while ignoring the much larger issue—two members aggressively confronting and intimidating me.

Despite video evidence clearly showing their aggressive body language and repeated confrontations, the gym’s leadership chose to protect the offenders rather than take meaningful action. Instead of ensuring a safe and respectful environment for all members, I was met with excuses, deflection, and an overall dismissive attitude.

Even more concerning, I was informed that the individuals who harassed me are long-standing members, implying that their behavior is tolerated despite previous complaints against them. This sends a clear message that intimidation and bullying are not only excused but normalized here.

For anyone considering joining this gym, be aware that if you ever feel unsafe or experience harassment, you may not receive the fair treatment and protection you deserve. The management has made it clear that certain members will be prioritized over others, regardless of their conduct.

I sincerely hope the administration reconsiders its stance on handling serious complaints, as no one should feel unsafe or dismissed in a community fitness space. Until real accountability is shown, I cannot recommend this gym to anyone who values fairness, safety, and respect

You closed for five months and somehow managed to make things worse. It’s infuriating that Dryden and Kenora have figured it out but Sioux Lookout remains the joke of the north.

You painted the walls and changed the floor - neither needed to be done. We need equipment that works and reliable facilities. You bolted the preacher curl to the floor in the absolute dumbest spot, the cable machine is still broken, you removed the stretching area on the track and removed the lockers - just a couple decisions highlighting how incompetent the management is.

Hours are lacking, some of the staff are racist, fees much higher than Dryden, but it's the only option in town. Needs more plates by the leg press and squat rack but good assortment of cardio machines.
