I did the two weeks trial and it was good except they don't have a squat bar which I really enjoy using during my workouts. I really loved the cycle fit group fitness class. Would recommend this gym, but the heating in the upper level is way too high, I wish the cardio space was the same temp as the cycling room.
This Y only protects donors and full fee members. *Do not expect support if you have a discounted membership or special needs.*
This is a medium-sized facility that is extremely aged and shows it. Limited equipment available and most of it is also showing its age. The classes and the indoor running track are the only good things here.
Consistently the best no nonsense health club/gym in the core with a distinctly urban/homelike feel to the building.
Excellent place! Very friendly staff and atmosphere in general. I love how the YMCA offer so many different options for working out at every hour. I can tell that I felt welcomed by everyone there :)
This is 3rd. update...
As far as the heat? Not sure it s getting better?!...
It is an aging building...but fans would help to circulate the stuffy hot air!
Unfortunately the folks running the YMCA at their head office, aren t interested in investing in this place!
With a building this old requires lots of maintenance...not coffee breaks!
Front desk staff are always extremely helpful and courteous...
The place overall...has a much cleaner look!
equipment is good...
GM is alway around to answer questions.
The draw back are some of the members or free passers are rude and selfish!
Visited the center twice during my 7 day free pass and won t go again. The staff at the front weren t the greatest during my second trip, and the cycle fit bikes are terrible and need some tuning. The heat upstairs by the free weights room is absolutely unbearable! They charge 66 a month with a 90 dollar sign up fee. Sure, they may waive that fee if you sign up after your first day trial session, but in my opinion for that price, you ll be better off going to GoodLife as it s only a 5-10 dollar difference max. The only good thing for me about the gym is it s location.
I m a regular member at the F45 down the street and definitely won t be switching over.
College YMCA is a great place to do activities. But YMCA web page is so difficult to find the activities. It should be more simple, it is so confuse. Each YMCA should have their own full daily page activities. Like the brochure that they used to have before, very simple.
Staff is great! Nice facility. Played basketball tonight. Would have been a perfect experience but my jumper wasn't falling. :-)
This review is about Management only and not the staff. The staff themselves are friendly and very helpful. Problems with management are as follows:
- Decreasing member services with no decrease in fee
- Unresponsive to members' concerns
- Refusal to fix defective equipment, some of which has been broken for years
- Allowing free trial passes to go on indefinitely which is actually quite disruptive to regular members due to many "free passers" not knowing or not following the rules
- And, apparently, cutting hours of part time workers to save money since the increase in the minimum wage came into effect
Basically, this new management is all about cutting costs, saving money, and disregarding members' valid concerns
