PRes Armouries - Weight Rooms

[TSpoon]

Hello, I wasn't sure where to post this so bear with me. I'm in the middle of an application with The PRes in Toronto. I was just wondering what kind of weight room the armouries have, if any. Specifically Moss Park Armoury, Fort York Armoury and Dalton Armoury.I tried searching around for answers but couldn't find any.Thanks for any replies

I can't comment about the weight room in toronto.  But when I went in and talked to the recruiter they gave me a tour of the building, including the weight room.

There's one in the Windsor Armoury.

I've seen it while looking for a breaker panel.

I wouldn't go that far,  at least not yet.  You might want to get into the Reserves first and check out the weight room and see if it has everything you want.  As well,  finding out how often you can access it would be something to look into.

Good point, hadn't thought of that. Thanks

We set up a CrossFit Gym at Moss Park a few year ago, there is still some stuff there but, no one (or unit) really takes care of the equipment anymore.

Probably the only place that has a decent gym will be the Denison armouries.  Before that place was built the CF would purchase memberships at local gyms for use by Class B pers.

Damn, Denison's a little to far from my house to be going there on the regular.I'll have to hope either the QOR or The 48th take me so I can still have acess to training facilities that aren't too far from where I live.Thanks

Which I was lead to believe is only for members on 3 year class BA positions. I lost a 2 year fight to have my gym membership paid for as a class B.

I had thought the YMCA offers free membership to CF members? At least that's what i was told about some YMCAs in Ottawa
