92nd Street Y Reviews

Horrendous for actual residents, terrible wifi, roaches in the bathroom, etc.

In addition to their gym facilities, the 92nd Street Y is renown for their programming; they always seem to get amazing speakers. There are plenty of activities at affordable prices, and the staff is friendly. If you live on the East Side this would be an ideal gym to join.

Although it is a Jewish culture center, I sometimes do classical chamber music concerts. Concerts are generally sold on tickets, and even pagans are fine if they are probably not anti-Semitic.

Great place for the entire family a staple in the neighborhood

Took a quick ceramics class here last night. I've taken 2 classes before in other locations but the instructors here were the best I ever had. Helped me out and taught me new techniques and hand postions and even showed me better control for being left handed when no instructor has done that before. My creative interest has definitely been reopened and I plan on looking into the other classes offered here and learning something knew. Hoping that all the staff is as knowledgeable and helpful as she was.

the talks are amazing, the people is very nice, it is well organized

My children went to the Dec camp and my son go get up by 2 bothers twice before the counselors even noticed. My son got a busted lip a black eye and kicked in the ribs multiple times. The assistant director called me to tell me there was A fight but my son went to the nurse but he's fine . I didn't think anything of it till my son got home and gave me the details. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't send your children if you won't them safe.

Cool place to take art classes at night. They will hound you about a membership if you ever give them your email. You have been warned.

Multi-purpose building lots of activities for the young and old

I love their ballroom dance floor. High ceiling and spacious room.

I had a great experience at the 92nd Street Y. My husband and I attended a lecture there with Jeffrey Eugenides (one of my favorite contemporary authors) and Jennifer Egan. The venue is fairly small, which provides an intimate and academic feeling, which I like. At the event, there were book tables set up outside the theater to purchase books, and the authors did a free signing after the lecture. I would recommend the 92nd Street Y for any similar author events, and I have heard great things about some of the other programs. I will attend another event there for sure.

The children are very under-supervised at the after school program. A parent video taped my kid while she was changing her clothes in the locker room. When I called to get an explanation, they put me on the phone with a lawyer instead of program staff. The lawyer was misinformed and not very smart. This is INHUMANE treatment and it felt like dealing with the mafia. I cannot in good conscience recommend this institution to any parent.

It's playtime! Ball pit, climbing maze, rings, tunnels, balance beams: the 92nd Street Y's indoor jungle gym has it all for the toddler or young child. I brought my 2-year old daughter here on a cold winter day and she absolutely enjoyed exploring all of the play equipment. Everything was so colorful, safe and enjoyable. There was plenty of adult staff spread throughout the play place to monitor each of the play sets. There were not too many children here when we visited: perhaps 12 at the most. I would definitely come back here for play time.

I love the programs at the 92 st y. Theres so any rooms and function halls. It s a new experience everytime we go.

Love you 92Y! Got to see all my favorite people here!

The programs at 92Y feed my soul. Their celebrities are always insightful and memorable.

Great place to exercises. if you have any disabilities they would assist you. Clean and comfortable

Great rates, good hours, never packed, and the staff are helpful. Gym includes a pool, basketball courts, and multiple classes, as well as locker rooms that offer guests snacks including coffee, disposable shaving equipment, and towels!

Love this place! Sometimes can be a little expensive depending on what tickets you get, but always intriguing discussion and excellent insights.

Good events, nice people, what isn't there to love about this place.

I've been hearing about this place for many years it was outstanding to actually be there and do hear Fern Mallis talk about her extraordinary life

The Current War advance screening with Director Alfonso Gomez-Rejon, Actor Michael Shannon & moderated by Annette Insdorf

We enjoyed the gym and everything about the facility. When we relocated out of New York City to have baby, 92Y understood the changes our family need towards our Membership.

It's a chipotle, what else do you expect? Although they do have online ordering for pickup and like everywhere else - No bathrooms...

Clean facilities, friendly enough staff (they all look like they are depressed, and ok equipment. Decent cruising spot. Lots of single city guys interested in a tall handsome county boy.

This is a review on their gym facilities. I signed up for a 3 month memebership through groupon. While it's not fancy gym it provides all a person needs for a workout. Plus they have a pool and classes for people who need to learn. They also provide two towels and a clean locker room. I would recommend the facilites for anyone around that area and is looking for a new gym. I didn't renew the contract because it was simply too far to travel especial for someone who was living in Brooklyn.

I wish to visit street Manhattan it s so wonderful I wish that

I have just watched on U-Tube your debate between Christopher Hitchens and Tariq Ramadan from 1910. The best ever. If that's what you do please open a branch in Tel Aviv.

92nd Street Y is great venue with diverse programs and classes. Have been to a speaker event as well as a ceramics class there - both were very organized. The instructors for the ceramics class were very patient and knowledgeable. Inside of the building reminds me of a school - which is cute. I'll definitely check out their schedules to see other programs of interest.

It is a gym. I am not a big fan of the place because the classrooms are scatter on many floors. It is a bit confusing to find things when you are there for the first time. Lucky the staff is very helpful.

A historic institution. Come for the art gallery and stay for mazing talks that rival the Times Center.

The pool gets overly crowded because it s not that big. However, it is clean, not overly chlorinated and has great lap hours.

Love it!! A great venue for some seriously good cultural events.

I only went there for the gym, but I can say that the equipement is adequat, less people after 8pm, I have two complains : no windows in the cardio room, and way too many dudes walking around without a towel in the locker room

Excellent Senior,Adult Teen and Children activities. A "Beacon" to the local community.

I have mixed feeling about this place. We have had our daughter s third birthday party here. It felt like the staff didn t really know what they were doing or moved slowly and unsure. The music was a failure. I ve made a playlist of my daughters favorite songs but their ancient player couldn t connect (and they admitted it happens a lot). The whole gym maze experience is okay, we live very close so will come back but only because it s the closest indoor playground. The gym doesn t seem clean, and looks cluttered

Amazing and reasonably priced experiences here...did everything from a painting class to a talk series with Dave (whatever his name is from Arrested Development) and Bob Odenkirk. They offer classes in almost everything.

Great place for events and activities! Something different and fun.

Took a tour and would totally join but they don't have childcare services. Bummer.

Really nice and cozy hall.. I saw a really beautiful guitar concert and I'd recommend getting a seat closer to the stage because the sound is low in the back.

Also if you're less than 35 there are great discounts!

Well maintained gym, locker rooms and sauna. The pool is pretty good too. They have a great number of classes everyday as well.

Really enjoyed my stay here! If you are into board games, checkout the residence office for some great choices.

I remember coming here as a kid. And now coming here as an adult so many good memories. This place has changed so much. But with time everything does. All good memories. I like the classes they offer and the people and friends I have met. 92nd Street Y is pretty awesome.

Place to build up your physical health & attend clutural events. For Adults-children to pre-screening of tv shows & Q&A with author's, concerts, seminars from topics A-Z

The 92Y is a wonderful establishment offering creative and athletic classes of all kinds: pottery, drawing, swimming, and so on. The May Center within the 92Y is a great place to get some exercise. Reasonable rates, large space, top notch facilities. Premises is clean. Staff is friendly. A boon to the neighborhood. Classrooms in the art wing are somewhat dated but the supplies are plentiful and the instruction is patient and thorough. Taking a class here is both fun and a great way to meet people.

We registered our daughter in the polliwogs swim class. Instructors were nice and the classes themselves were good and fun. Our issues were that the swimming pool itself is too cold and also the family locker room space is limited. We ended up having to drop out after only 4 of 14 classes for unrelated reasons. We tried contacting them multiple times for a credit for a future season. We got no response to our emails or messages. Perception was they are unorganized or intentionally unresponsive.

One of my good friends had the pleasure of staying here and really enjoyed it. I actually am writing this because they just wouldn't stop talking about it so hopefully this will help. The biggest thing he told me was how amazing the staff was to him and how accommodating they were to all his needs. He got there late due to a flight but was still able to check in and get all settle into his space. He was even able to extend his stay another day when his flight got delayed. It was a great space and friendly atmosphere. I even thought about staying there if I needed a vacation!

I came here once for a ceramics class and was rather impressed with the classes they provide, as well as the other community events they hold, such as talks and performances. From my limited experience with the staff, they were helpful and nice and I would love to be able to take more classes here if I'm in the neighborhood.

I used to go to this place when I was a teenager, it was a little off the track for my friends and me, but they had a lot of great equipment and a really nice swimming pool

So much under one roof.
It would be easy to simply write this off as a Y (as in YMCA) but it is so much more - from the beautiful theater space, to the amble changing rooms, to the reasonable and tasty cafe (on the third floor). If you live near (or it's an easy commute) there are so many classes and benefits to joining this Y (including readings and orchestra - not just gym "stuff.")

Note: There is security at the door. The security is VERY friendly and helpful.

I was fortunate enough to take a 6 week ceramics class at 92Y, and when you walk into the building and head over to the studios, you really get a good feeling as you enter a space where so much creativity is fostered. People are friendly, and the staff is passionate about what they do, which can be contagious. I really hope to take more classes there in the future!

Wonderful auditory, nice helpfull stuff, interesting speakers!
I had a pleasure to listen Melissa Rivers, a dauther of Joan Rivers!!!

These guys are self hating Jews. They aFctually invite as their guests rabid promoters of BDS. Apparently freedom of anti semitic/anti Israel speech has now become the obligation of the 92nd St Y to promote. They're so open minded in that place, their brains are going to fall out...

Have many things there including even a swimming pool. I know best Israeli Folk Dancing there that is there every Wednesdays (expect Jewish holidays) from 8:15pm-12:45am. Dancing alternates about every half hour between Couple and Circle dancing. Usually every time they teach 1 Circle dance and 1 Couple dance. Notices of dances are sent in advance to people that come and put there name on email list. Teaching basics (pre-registered series) is before 7-8pm. Current fee is $14 per person. Now usually on 4th Floor but was on 2nd Floor Ballroom and now also there some of the time. Few Saturday nights a year there are parties. BIG Marathon party is always evening before Thanksgiving holiday until 4am where lots of people participate. Really fun and good exercise.

The adult brain learns best by being caught in action,

I went to this location with NFTY NAR Winter Kallah on January 30 and I went in the pool there with them and they made everyone wear swim caps in the pool and I don't like to wear swim caps but there pool was good the water was 83 degrees and it was 8 feet deep. Another Reason I don't like to wear swim caps in the pool because they fall off a lot and I can't leave it on. Unless you find a pool that don't require Swim caps I would not recommend this business.
P.S
Safe to say I will not go back there to swim in there pool again

It's was not to bad had the venue changed was not a good time. Went from assigned seats to general seating so those who paid extra for their seats got shafted. The show was great saw Koronus Qaurtet with Soo-Young was fabulous.

Mixed bag...some rude security guards (way too many of them too), really bad elevator service, and its a maze. Limited equipment for a gym of its size. Not too crowded though and nice gym staff

I've only been here one time. I enjoyed the performance. The space is small and unique. Due to the size it feels like you are part of the performance and all the seats are good ones. The details on the walls and inhaler the ceiling are worth the visit on their own. Three only downside is that the acoustics are not that good.

There is a Olympic size pool; very famous speakers I have seen including Presidents. It is very community based.

My year as a member of the 92Y was incredible. I love the gym and the community. Great place!

I lived here for 6 months when I was an exchange student. Amazing facilities, top security and very good apartments. Great place for young people!!!

After a day in the office, 92nd Street Y is the place to be! I had an opportunity to check out their ceramic class and had a blast. The instructors were amazing; not only did they provide clear instructions on how to create a bowl but they were also patient enough to help you out with your own project. It was messy, sticky, dirty, and I loved it!
