Top shelf family gym. My 9 year old finds as many activities as her 12 year old sister and me to make the time spent there (family hours on weekends) well worth the trip.
Not much gym time for kids and parents together during the week - which rarely is needed with so many other activities going 9n.
Great place to find the right fitness program for yourself. There is something for everyone. The staff, including instructors, show respect for the members.
I sadly must say that the YMCA facility at Wycoff needs major improvements. Not only is the facility outdated (locker rooms, shower areas...) but it is also not kept clean. They do have two great pools, but the pools are overused, and dirty. The warm pool very often has extremely cloudy water, with debris floating around (hair, paper..., awful). There are limited number of lanes open to the members, which often need to be shared by 3 or more swimmers at the time, all other lanes are used for "private lessons" or swim team. We pay too much money to not be able to comfortably swim and use the workout to relax. I have recently gotten three eye infections after swimming in the uncleaned pool, and my wife periodically develops skin rashes right after swimming. We have brought that up to the front desk, along with overcrowding issue, but they never have addressed the issue, and if anything, seem to get upset by our complaints. Shower and bathroom areas are very dirty, especially in the afternoon and evening times. I understand that there is a very large number of members using the facility daily, but the staff must address that and have a better cleaning schedule! Also, a lot of things do not work, and seem not to get fixed.
Great location with much potential, but needs to be improved!
The Wyckoff YMCA is always very clean. The staff is extremely friendly and always helpful. Excellent value for my family membership (2 parents and 3 kids). They have a bunch of classes included in the price, diverse gym equipment, pool hours, basketball courts and discounts for the extra programs with full membership. I've been a member for over 13 years since living in the area and wouldn't leave for another gym. Great way to stay active and healthy. Recommend for all that want to keep motivated by having a diverse options in working out.
The gym is great because it is specific to your needs. You have educated staff and people from all walks of life entering the gym. simply amazing!!
I love this gym, I have been here for almost 1 year and I have greatly benefited from all of the instructors, the group exercise classes and the childcare. The tot drop for kids is full of great women, lots of them are moms and are so great with babies, they care for them like if they were their own. The instructors are amazing, they always find a sub if they can't come and class is pretty much never canceled They are responsible grown ups teaching the classes and never come late or miss a class. I am in the best shape of my life, I had 4 children in the last 9 years and this Y is a huge part of that. The HIIT classes every day multiple times a day are my jam. Swim lessons were also awesome for my preschooler and they have great programs for everyone. So glad I found this gem.
Very convenient, and a nice asset for the community.
We're members mainly to take advantage of the kids programming and the summer swimming area.
They have a great variety of classes for young kids; mine have taken swimming, soccer, gymnastics, rock climbing, and sampler classes. They like coming. It's not as crisp as a dedicated facility but it costs less and they have learned at their classes. Class sessions run for 8 weeks during the school year so you can change it up a bit if the kids decide they don't like something. On the flip side it feels like you're always registering for something. Prices usually work out to $10-15 per session (plus the membership fee) which is very low for the area.
There's a very good selection of adult classes for full members, at all hours of the day. The Y also hosts community events all year round. We've stopped by for open gym and free swimming during the winter.
The gym equipment seems a bit dated but kinda... Who cares? It's still a YMCA - a very good one. It gets a lot of traffic. The locker rooms aren't as nice as an Equinox. On some level you get what you pay for, but there is always something fun to do here.
A very good facility at a very good price. They offer a full-size lap pool, a man-made beach in the summer, a full gym and all sorts of fitness classes. The daycare staff is also very warm and experienced.
Amenity-wise, this Y compares to facilities that cost far more. But, in the locker rooms, you will have to deal with the ever-present cringiness of naked elderly people who have long foregone the modesty imparted by a simple towel.
Terrible staff - Extremely rude over the phone and incapable of answering a simple question regarding the membership.
Beautiful pools, very good instructors, but the gym Staff is not upbeat and the Shower area is always freezing! Plus they need to turn off the huge fan that's constantly running and makes a lot of noise.
I was also very displeased that we had to download a special App which sucks up considersble phone Power to listen to THE TV stations. It frequently crashes and then you have to reset it !! It becomes a real hassle- they should just provide the cable service so we can watch TV Easily!!
