  If you go to this gym you know the horrific smell of B.O. The crazy part is some people act like it doesn't bother them. I used to have to put some cream in my nose when I go to the gym (NO JOKE!!!!!). The smell is simply unbearable! the stupid students who work there are just garbage!!!! and the guy who manages the gym is just a complete IDIOT!!!

  As a University sports complex, only students of the University of Ottawa can use it. (In general). Its decently equipped and usually busy late into the night.

  Decent enough equipment, but completely overcrowded all the time. If you train seriously, you basically have to go very early in the morning. If you want to do supersets, just forget it.

  People must really have low standards if they think this is a good gym. Check out some other campus fitness facilities in other cities for a better idea of what you deserve. For a university gym, Minto is severely outdated and lacking in every aspect. There's also the persistent rancid odour in the entire building that makes it unpleasant to have to come here. I've been in packed gyms before, but it's never affected my workout routines. At Minto, I can't do half the exercises I need to.

  It's possible to be there at 7AM and still not be able to use a squat rack for half an hour solid (exasperated by the fact that many of the students have no idea how to train and do way too many sets instead of focussing on intensity). I had to buy another membership at a commercial gym as a student, and I think it's stupid that you're forced to pay for a completely unusable service (but hey - bienvenue a l'University d'Ottawa!)
