Caroline McClure· 3 months agoGreat location and machines are always available 5⭐... Now the negatives 1. They have older people working there, just sitting at a desk, and no one available to spot you when you work out or assist on the machines besides one guy ... If you happen to be there during his shift. 2. Some lifeguards don't always remember to set the sauna so sometimes it's just not hot enough 3. The sauna opens at 7.30 but you need to wait a long time for it to heat. 4. I heard about an elderly gentleman trip over the floor mats in the men's bathroom cause they leave it rolled up after cleaning and forget to unroll it. 5. Lastly, there are super rude members who leave their stuff in the local room over night as if it's their personal locker. So... This is a 3⭐
David Connolly· 6 years agoOur kids play basketball in the youth league. Great facilities, clean, they recently re-did the whole gym area. They've got state-of-the-art equipment and machines, as well as classes you can sign up for, even swimming lessons
Breno· 7 months agoComplaints first - many might think 150 to 160f is hot for a sauna, for some it might be, but when you have 50 plus ppl coming in and out whenever they like in uni gender sauna room it's gives a lot of opportunity for the air to escape, also the seal on the door is not perfect and damaged, you can see the outside light coming from portions of the door making it even colder in there. The men's room is also pretty dirty but it's not a deal breaker. If this is fixed I will rate it 5 stars. im rating it 3 stars because for the price things should be better maintenanced and taken care of for such a expensice memership(if you dont have enough money at the time of your monthly payment they will add about 30 dollars on top of your memership fee the next time they try to run your card!!!!!!😡)! Other than that ymca is a great place to workout, meet friendly people, and get healthier with many different activitys avalible for you to explore.
Tonzathome· 2 years agoMary at the Englewood YMCA is awesome! We hosted a lunch & learn and it was awesome! Great turn out! Clean, friendly, beautiful facility!
CHUCK SMALLMAN· 5 months agoWoman in pool today was talking to lifeguard (older guy) expressing her hatred for our President and ICE. Mentioned that she’s so upset and thinks the world is in bad shape. Her liberal rant went on and on. The guard was agreeing with her which was troubling. It really was inappropriate at the pool in ear shot of other members. He should have changed subject or asked her to refrain from political discussions.
