Milne Rec Center
About
Milne Rec Center offers mixed martial arts and boxing training within a comprehensive recreational facility. The gym provides access to workout areas, a basketball court, and clean, well-maintained spaces that members consistently praise. Instructors receive frequent commendation for being fantastic and professional, creating an environment where members schedule their appointments around exercise classes to ensure they never miss a session.
Members appreciate the excellent weights and cardio classes available, noting the facility is always clean with friendly staff. However, some practical considerations exist, including limited parking availability where patrons often need to park in lots near Franklin Avenue and walk in. Additionally, the gym space is sometimes rented out for other events, leading to occasional closures or limited access, particularly on Saturdays and evenings, which some members find inconvenient despite their overall positive workout experiences.

Attended a free cardio class and loved it. The instructor was fantastic! It was my first time at the facility and I was impressed. The staff was friendly and professional.

Great recreations facility. Glad they have rehabbed the Milne Boys Home Facility and changed a portion of it into this YMCA Facility & this is way cool. Great use of space. Inside this place there's a basketball court, restrooms, a work out area, an information desk. Lots going on in here. But it's all managed perfectly well. My only concern is the lack of parking. The parking lot seems to be for employees and staff only . While the patrons that utilize the service are relegated to parking in the parking lot up front and have to walk in from the parking lot near Franklin Ave... Hello, not cool!!! To be noted: I did get a GREAT work out.

Love to use the weight/cardio room at this facility; excellent weights class. Wish the gym was available more, though. Nearly always rented out & closed on Saturdays; why cant the renters setup after they close at 2pm? Also, they close it too early before a class needs it & then leave it closed for the evening.
