The guide

Where exactly

The facility is on the Southeast corner of Islington and Rutherford and can't be missed. It can be accessed via both of those major roads. The gym is located on the east side of the grounds and you know you're in the right spot when you see the glass/columns (as pictured). Entrance is to the immediate right. Parking is free and there is lots of it. From Hwy-400: Hwy-400 to Rutherford Rd. exit 33. West on Rutherford to Islington Ave. South (left) on Islington and the Centre is on the left side of the road. From Hwy-407: Hwy-407 to Pine Valley Dr. exit 63. North on Pine Valley Dr. (approx. 2.5 km) to Langstaff Road. Turn left on Langstaff Rd. to Islington Avenue. Turn right on Islington Ave. and proceed approx. 2 km to the Centre on the right (before Rutherford).

When to go

Hours: Monday - Friday: 5:30am to 10:30pm Friday: 5:30am to 10:00pm Saturday & Sunday: 7:00am to 6:30pm The best time for action is at night after 7:00pm, and right before closing Monday through Thursday. Friday, Saturdays and Sundays are less busy for cruising but a great time to have fun if you develop a regular buddy.

Etiquette

The cruisiest spot are the showers/sauna. Eye contact generally makes things happen but don't be too aggressive. The sauna has a light switch without a cover so if you like things dark, switch it off! This gym predominately has Italian guys at it. The early morning crowd are all the business men that want to get a workout before being at work at 9am. There is an older crowd during the day. Around 3pm the students/younger crowd start rolling in, and busy time is between 5pm and 8pm with the average age being 25.

Nudity: Full nudity isn't an issue in any of the private areas (locker room, sauna, showers, washrooms, urinals, etc.)

Safety

Many of the personal trainers and employees of this gym ALSO work out and make use of the facilities on a regular basis. Exercise caution when making a move, be sure they aren't an employee! If you're going to work out before hitting the showers, take a look at the personal trainers on the floor and then you'll be safe. Also, around 3pm the high school students get out and many hit the gym. Be aware that some of these guys. steer clear! You'll know who's 18+.
