Review from Eric B.

Canadians don't let winter get in the way of a good workout. And whether I've been in Churchill, Whitehorse, Medicine Hat, or Sherwood Park, I have always found a big full service indoor community recreation centre available.
My first visit to Millennium Place was during December when the sun came up at 9 AM, went down at 4 PM and it was -40 C outside. It was after work and after plugging the car in at the hotel, I decided to stay in. The room was comfy, the hotel restaurant and bar served my needs, and a quick indoor walk led me to the Millennium Center for a workout and some great people watching. This place has almost anything you want - indoor ice rinks/soccer fields, gym, pool, track, fitness equipment, etc. The hours are also convenient for almost any schedule and the one-off price is very reasonable. -

I have been a downtown, central Edmonton girl for almost 10 years now. I was pretty hesitant to move away from all my convenient places, let alone to Sherwood Park. One of the things that was giving me the most anxiety was having to find another gym as good as the one I was leaving. I didn't know where to start looking when I moved, until my personal trainer fiance told me to go to Millennium Place. I was still skeptical of a public gym being the place to send my muscles, but I was convinced as soon as I walked in.
This facility is awesome! The gym is large, even larger now that they just expanded. It is often very busy but I have rarely had a problem getting a machine or weights. There is a track connected to the gym that overlooks soccer fields. The track has a small "hill" which I really appreciate for those days that I am doing sprints. It really beats being on a treadmill. There is a large pool here as well with hot tub/sauna/steam room. There are also a couple places in a food court, one of which serves pretty good sushi. I am always a bit sad though to smell french fries at a place that is focusing on personal fitness. There is also a Running Room attached that carries a full line of work out clothes and shoes.
Like I said, this place is often busy. That business extends well beyond the gym as there is hockey here as well. Parking can be a bit of a pain, but if you are willing to walk from the very very back then you should have no problems at peak times of day (extra cardio??). I really enjoy working out here by myself and with my personal fiance trainer as well! -

I wasn't expecting such a facility when I moved to Sherwood Park. I am not sure what I was expecting, but Millennium Place was not it!
This facility has quite a lot of stuff! For about $8, you have the run of the gym, the wave pool, the saunas, the hot tub, the ice rink, and some sort of kids play place. Best of all to me, are the drop in classes happening every day. There are several geared toward those who are older and active, and several geared for those wanting to prime their bodies. I take the adult swim in the lane pool which happens three mornings out of five, and the bootcamp which happens two mornings out of five, with another two or so in the evenings. I can't say much about the weekends, as it is usually swamped with kids, and I don't go.
The Millennium Pass is handy. For $40 a month, you get unlimited access not only to Millennium with its long hours, but also two other pools and fitness centers in the area. So you can work out or swim pretty much all the time.
There is no contract nor start up fee. Just a void cheque and a picture taken. Then you can go and scan your handy card as many times as you like. And best of all, there is no cancellation fee. So when I am in town for a few months, I can swim, and when I leave, it is simple! -

Our family loves going to Milennium place! It's an inexpensive venue with a slew of activities for the whole family. Kids under 12 are $3 (I think) and adults are about $8: that's for the whole day! You can choose from the following activities: swimming, ice skating, indoor play space and an indoor gym. i have a 5 yr old and 12 yr old and they both love it. The play space is great for my 5 yr old, while my 12 yr old really likes the pool and skating, so we can do it all.
The place is always clean and they have a good selection of healthy food in their "food court" area. A short trip from east Edmonton for a fun day of activity! -

what a great facility.
we came here for my daughter's friend's birthday.I went swimming with my daughter and then we let her play in the climbing park next to the ice rink.
everything was good until someone stole my wife's Puma shoes off the shoe rack in the women's change room. So they gave her a pair of sauna slippers to wear home. -

This is really as good as it gets when it comes to working out. Millennium Place has everything you could ask for. They have an indoor skating rink & indoor soccer fields, a gymnasium, a large workout area with tons of fitness equipment, an indoor swimming pool, a track, food court, and outdoor soccer fields.
The wellness center and track are open from 5:30am - 11pm and swimming and skating are open 9am-9pm, which allows for any busy person to get a workout. I honestly cannot think of anything to complain about and at about $30 for monthly membership or approximately $7 for any given day it is much cheaper than most other fitness centers that offer a fraction of the facilities.
I usually go with a couple of my friends and we do everything from playing basket ball to soccer to lifting weights and we never have to wait for machines or benches to open up. I have never found myself waiting around for something to free up. We occasionally go for a swim and they have lanes set up as well as a general pool.
If you need motivation to start working out I suggest you take a tour of this place and you will be convinced. -

Fab place! very modern, excellent facilities. The only thing this place this is missing is a squash court. Otherwise the best gym ever!
