James, the membership at the Y is flexible so you can use any of their gyms.
I use the Markham, Scarborough, and North York gyms
Markham is the newest and most modern, but with the smallest workout area. A lot of new equipment, but a lot of teenagers too. Eye candy here is Asian, of course being in Markham.
Scarborough is older, but just got an influx of new equipment. The problem with this gym is there are lots of young black guys, all taking a 1/2 hour on the bench press and acting like they're a badass. No eye candy in this gym.
North York is down to earth, older, and has a workout area with no windows. Its got everything you need, including the biggest pool. Eye candy here is mostly a lot of Iranian girls.
I like the fact that there is no music playing in the gyms, which is usually dance/techno in other places.
Membership at the gym runs around 51 bucks a month, and around 70 bucks a month for the membership plus service which means towel service, whirlpool, and nicer changerooms. Hope this helps
