I have a tour in the Olympic pools and fitness center yesterday. Here are the pros and cons of the place in my opinion:
Pros: The place is huge, there is a standard size pool and a fitness center with 50+ machines. It is located in the heart of Newmarket. You can either park across at the warehouse parking which gives you 1 hour free and the next hour is $2.00. There are also parking at the back of the building which Olympic can give you a discount rate but according to the staff, warehouse parking is the cheapest. They also have sauna and spa pool available. If you are a member, they will give you a fitness assessment which is included in the membership fees.
Cons: The place looks kinda dated. Since I hate swimming, their fantastic pool did nothing for me. They do not have any membership level below 3 month, which I believe is a huge committment, especially for someone like me who don't know how long my determination for workout will last.
Bottomline: If you are looking for a swimming pool with a fitness center, Olympic is a good choice for you. Since I am looking for just a gym, I would look for another gym to try to find a better deal or one that have a trial period.
