I started working out about a month ago and it has been the best experience I could ask for. My instructors Rosie R., barbie, Dayanne, Kim W., Sue D., And the subs are the best. I feel great and starting to lose weight I have made friends and I feel safe to workout when my child is in Child Watch. The atmosphere is everything I could hope for and it keeps me coming back everyday.

Place is always clean, employees are friendly and welcoming. Facility has plenty of equipment and you never feel rushed or have to wait to use the equipment. I like the indoor walking track. Great for bad weather days.

The lifeguards need to be taught better. There has been multiple times where the lifeguards were rude towards my kids. My kids are very shy and gets nervous easily. They were devastated when the lifeguard was speaking rudely. Other than the lifeguards at the pool, everything else seem alright at the YMCA.

Love it so much here, it’s such a beautiful thing that now low income families have a safe place to go that has beautiful staff members who are always helpful and ready to give their all while at work. We love the childcare staff, it’s so much easier to try and reach my fitness goals while my girls are at the childwatch center. We love it!!!!

My family joined in May 2020 and we have so many good things to say:-very friendly morning front staff! (I’m sure evening is nice too!)-great childwatch staff, fairly open childwatch area, and my daughters (almost 1 & 3) LOVE IT.-plenty of equipment of all sorts (cardio, free weights, mini-workout area, etc...)-GREAT CLASSES. I have only taken from Kim W. But she is AMAZING.-Clean facilities and plenty of places to hangout if you need to get some reading or stuff done on your electronics.ONLY NEGATIVE: the outdoor pool can be VERY frustrating as a mom of 2 young kids during the summer. SEVERAL times we went we were not allowed to use the kiddie pool area. Every time I asked lifeguards why I got a different answer. There were typically 3 lifeguards sitting around so I don’t understand why the kiddie pool area had to be closed... very frustrating as a mom of 2 young kids who can’t swim and not being able to take them in the only “safe” area.

This is one of the cleanest, nicest gyms (?) Ive ever been in. We joined in October, its now February. Each visit Ive stepped into a clean, refreshing building. The ladies and universal dressing rooms are immaculate each visit. Circuit and weight room equipment is kept clean and organised as is the indoor pool area. Staff are visible, willing to assist as needed or requested.Ive been very impressed with the number of visible staff during each visit. My husband is impressed with the quality and quantity of circuit room equipment. I visit the indoor pool often. I watch the lifeguards rotate through the stations. They appear to enjoy their jobs while watching the many seniors using the pool. There is a system in place to test children and teens to insure they can swim before getting into the pool. Ive also seen them test the water quality in the pool and spa throughout the day.Having had memberships at various health clubs over the years I believe Im getting a huge value at McWilliams YMCA. Although I havent participated I know many classes are offered in cycling, yoga, water aerobics and many other interests all included in my monthly fee.

I love the cycle class and body pumpClass taught by Lynn. She was so welcoming and helpful to me as a new member and new to those classes. I love how she tells you how you can adapt things to your level. I’ve also been impressed with the child care and their friendliness. My kids love playing and learning there. I really appreciate the outside time that the children receive. Lastly, I love the events and programs like parents night out and the cooking classes. Thank you for offering so much and for being so welcoming to my family as we recently moved to Houston from Georgia.

I put 3 stars because i love the equipment it’s really great and efficient . But the main issue i have personally at this one specifically is some of the employees I feel like i cannot even ask a question without some employees giving a rude attitude and I barely started my membership at The Y. I’m always walking in with a smile and greeting everybody, but some cut me off mid sentence every time i have a question. i feel unwelcome and uncomfortable. Today I brought my cousin as a guest and she also felt the same way. I know some people feel differently but that’s my personal experience I’ve had here.

I like the variety of exercise classes offered multiple times each day everyday of the week. There is always something I can do. And I love the variety of offerings. I also love the energy and enthusiasm of all the instructors. They make working out fun and they push you to your limit without ever making you feel bad if you can not do the exercise as well as some one else. Which I at age 63 appreciate.

I just recently signed up here during the week that they were waiving the join fee and I am so glad I did so. The facility is so nice, clean and the amount of equipment, classes and activities they have is unreal. I know it has been recently renovated in the last year or two, and it definitely shows. Big thumbs up to this location!

I love the Y; the child care and kids activities are great. I just wish there were more activities geared toward adults beyond group exercise classes. I would like more sports, social activities, and personal enrichment classes and events that are at a convenient time for working adults, especially during the hours after work and weekend but when childcare is open.

My family and I enjoy the fun activities in McWilliams YMCA ‘s safe, clean and friendly environment. My children participate in activities and the daycare center staff take care off our youngest while we work out or attend a game. We’re very pleased with the services you offer and the amazing members of this community.

This location was completely rebuilt due to flooding by Harvey so is pretty now, I’ll give it that. But while changing post-swim right after the reopening, the bench I was sitting on fell off the wall—not being anchored to the floor nor attached to a stud it fell forward throwing me to the floor but trapping my shower slipper so was hanging by my elbows on the side of the neck with my one knee askew. Had I not been fit enough to lower myself slowly to the ground to get my foot out I’d have been badly injured. I made a report immediately and took pictures but never got a call from anyone. My back had been twisted and hurt for a few days but the point is nobody cared. We have never been back to that location.We have had complaints in the past anyway about their preference for children’s activities. They took out the disabled workout room and there are only four lanes for lap swimming with a very shallow area for water walking. But it’s pretty.

This place is such a life-saver for me. I park my kids in the childcare center for 2 hours almost every morning, and take some much needed time to myself. The childcare center staff is amazing with my kids, and they love coming here. Everyone here is so welcoming and friendly, and not just the employees. There is a strong sense of community here, and I love it. Its the best part of my day. I especially look forward to my Zumba classes. Lorelle, Mackenzie and Beth are amazing! Highly recommend.

I really like the McWilliams YMCA. I joined almost 2 months ago and have already recommended to people I know. This is such a clean facility with well maintained equipment; there are great teachers for excellent group classes and lots of wonderful staff to assist. The overall environment is awesome for the individual and family. My daughter loves the outdoor pool and I feel safe that she is able to come and have a place for her to do activities while I am working out.

I really enjoy this location near Willowbrook Mall. It has several workout machines. Has a an indoor pool. It has a gym with four basketball goals. The staff does not micromanage you even when you have kids theyre working out with you. They just want to make sure that theyre safe and supervised. Its a really nice atmosphere and I like the prayer wall as well where you can leave a prayer there.

The YMCA is a very good facility to workout at. The facility is clean, equipped with cameras, security guards, and other Professionals who strive to keep the facility a fun family filled environment. You have options to swim, hot tub, sauna, showers, workout group classes, weights, equipment, and much more. The gym membership is reasonable. There might be a gym membership discount available to you, by your employer, or by your income level. Dont hesitate to speak with a front desk assistant or Manager that will provide you with accurate information. Caution: Bring a lock for the locker you utilize at the gym. If more instruction, or discipline, or motivation is needed on your workout journey, the Y does have trainers available for you. I didnt retain a gym trainer at the Y, but the front desk can assist you too, if you are searching for a gym trainer. Dont delay your health results! Get to work at the YMCA and earn your exercise goals! (-alz➕❤♡☝️)

Horrible place. Horrible Pool director, horrible Lifeguard classes them guys are losers and Waste 4 days of my life and $380.00. Stay away from this place if you are looking to be a lifeguard.

Not the same Y it used to be. Open changing rooms, where anyone can walk in on you. No separation from cardio room and weight room. Just odd. Biggest complaint is no sauna or steam room.now we just cancelled our membership on time, and they charged us last month when we wanted to cancel, and now AGAIN. Biggest scam ever! Save your money!

This is by far my favorite YMCA. There is a closer Y to my house but my daughter is terrify of the child watch there. So I normally just drive to this Y where my daughters all enjoy the child watch while I exercise my mind and body. It has virtual classes too. The staffs are friendly. Location is clean. Staff go around cleaning equipments regularly. I would highly recommend signing up for the Y for single adults and adults with child(ren).

Family bathrooms vs Unisex bathrooms!! We re-joined to this location last month, but decides not come back again after two weeks. They changed the Family bathrooms to Unisex bathrooms. We saw men without kids in these rooms and notice the signs now are Unisex bathrooms, not ‘Family’ like before. We missed the old YMCA!!

If your child visits the YMCA D. Bradley McWilliams @ HWY 249 & Cypressword. BE CONCERNED!!! Ask your child about their experience every time you pick them up. Ask them if they feel safe? Ask them WHO makes them feel unsafe? And if your child doesnt talk, and something happens that just doesnt feel right, ask to see their footage. QUESTION EVERYTHING!!!

They will refuse to cancel your membership and conti use to charge you. Every single person you talk to will have a different policy they will tell you they are going to refund you and ask you to fill out a form and then deny the refund and just extend your membership end date again. Do not get a membership at this facility if you ever intend on cancelling.

Review №54

Camp was very disappointing this year!!! Due to the flood the main building was closed. Therefore all the kids had to stay outside with no AC and barely any water throughout the day. (Of course they dont tell you this when you sign up and pay). If I pay for something I expect to be told these sort of things. Especially when it comes to my kid. My kid got sick several times. On top of calling me saying she doesnt feel good almost every day. This was my kids 4th year there. Not once until this year did I ever have to go and pick my kid up from being sick or her not want to be there. AND come to find out she wasnt sick she was having heat strokes. The place is ran by a bunch of teenage kids who look like they can barely take care of them selves let alone a bunch of kids. Not happy. We will be looking for something better for the future. Not worth the money!

Review №56

First, as an adult it was a awesome facility and experience. Second, the people working and clientele were lovely, but if you have children who need to come to the Child Watch especially in the evening please be very vigilant about asking them specific questions about their experience and treatment everytime they visit, mostly when the younger staff is mostly present and especially if Matthew G, Rachel, Vallerie are present. My daughter is autistic, epileptic and has a genetic disorder and was targeted and bullied. I found out about it after it had gotten out of hand and mostly while in her therapy. Wrote letter and reported it to Cody Meredith and a his director Ms. Stephens. I am writing this because my daughter also mentioned 4 other children and situations that were not okay and as a parent I would want to know about. And Cody and Ms.Stephens expected my daughter to remember dates and times she is 9. Please talk to your children and report anything that is unacceptable. They are not licensed by the state or overseen by anyone the only people to speak for your child is you and make sure it is corrected is you as a parent. Please talk to your children, even if its always positive. Because it just takes that one negative experience to totally destroy a childs self esteem confidence and security.

We love, love, love the YMCA. We have been members for years. It is so much more than a gym. It is also a vibrant part of our community, with special help for the elderly and the disadvantaged. Unlike most gyms, they do not attack you with high-pressure sales pitch, and they even treat their staff well. Our beloved Y is now on hard times, due to being flooded by Harvey. At this time, we have a mini YMCA (a smaller building with workout equipment, child care and 3 classrooms) and an outdoor pool. We cant wait until our full facility comes back sometime in the fall.

Review №65

I was waiting anxiously for the new facility to open. I absolutely loved this Y before it flooded. They completely removed several things that made this facility great. The Womens Center is gone! It used to be a hit, so I dont know why they would get rid of this. No more sauna or jacuzzi in the womens bathroom...no more racquet ball...I know racquet ball is not at all gyms, but it made this facility unique. Also, where did all the employees go? I went there with my mom recently and was immediately stopped because her card didnt scan, but in the meantime a group of about 10 people walked in without scanning any card! How are they deciding on who to check? I feel like they should be discounting the monthly fee due to the fact that they do not have all the amenities they had when I initially signed up years ago. I will be looking around for a new place to go.

Review №66

Its great place but the lifeguards are horrible!! Both inside and outside. There have been multiple times when I have been in the pool in an area that I shouldnt. I am asked to move out the area and I completely understand Im in the wrong and do get out. Of course someone of another race comes in and does exactly what I did and they are allowed to do so . I always wait some time to see if they are going to tell them something and they never do unless I walk over and tell them. Its horrible to think that this has something to do with my race.

Review №67

The new fitness areas and bathrooms are great. However, it is new but not improved. No sauna or private womens only whirl pool. No womens gym, no snack areas just vending machines. The virtual reality exercise is literally a large projected video in a dark room with good sound. There are barely any classes for kids. Just seasonal sport camps that meet off site and tae kwon do. Mostly I am bothered by the kids area. Part of the reason I chose ymca was because of all the awsome kids stuff. Wow the website made it look great! The poster next to the room says virtual reality as their number one activity. And they dont have it yet. No clue on when its coming. The otherstuff is basically kids using tablets and legos. Not impressed. And a guy there andrew as well as a few others were totally uninformed, cocky and just plain rude. When I ask people normal questions about my new memebership I get alot of cold dumb stares. Management needs to train and hire decent staff in the kids area.

Great place but the lack of professionalism is not. Was just on the phone with a lady at the front desk telling her how we have had several problems come up when scheduling semi-private swim lessons (which are already paid for).

Took a tour of the place a and while it was nice its too expensive I would say. Online the price for a family was 58 but when I went in for a tour they told me that it was only for 2 months and from there the price would increase to 103. Looked nice but not sure if I would spend that much especially since they close early.

Review №72

I am not at all happy with the YMCA at this location or any other for that matter. Unfortunately, because of where they are located they are the best option for my family. I have a 31 year old handicapped daughter who they charge the full rate for even though the only thing she can use is the swimming pool. If we get her into it 3 times a month we are lucky. The swimming pool seems to be the source of most of our issues. We struggled with trying to share the indoor pool with the numerous adult floating classes, the swim lesson classes and the constant threat of lightning because they have yet to ground the pool. If you like to float or take lessons you are fortunate. If you actually want to swim it is hit or miss at best. Aside from that their mission statement is far from what actually seems to be the case. They are over staffed and under supervised. The reality of their mission statement (from my view) appears to fall into a Walmartish realm greet customers at the door with a cursory hello and good day & hire minions to stand around and watch others workout.

Everything is great the gym even the daycare! But not the staff at the pool! The lifeguards are most of the so rude and take a long time to do a swimming test. Not only that , but they need to have more respect for other peoples This does not include all of them but most of them are just rude. One time a lifeguard took like 30 minutes to do a swim test to my little sister and for a moment I Even thought he was ignoring me. I had to tell him more that 10 times and my sister only had like 20 minutes to swim in the pool!

I just wanted to disagree with the last review on here. About the kids area. (The Y is the best one) ...Anyway, I have found that the kids are always involved in group activities! They are playing musical chairs, games, and even dodgeball!... maybe it depends on the time that you are there, but every evening that I have gone, my 5, 7, and 12 year old enjoy themselves.

Review №79

My son attends Camp Run-A-Muck that is ran through the D. Bradley YMCA. He really enjoys his time spent there and the staff. They have 3 days of swim, 1 field trip day and Fun Fridays every week (7/8 yr olds) so they are keeping busy and having tons of fun! The garden that the kids and staff built and maintain is very pretty. The staff is very organized with pick ups/drop offs and will make sure your child is safe.My only complaint is that it is so expensive! $195/week for one child and no family discounts seems pretty steep, but for my sons happiness it is worth it to us. Not sure that we will go back next year as my daughter will be old enough and paying nearly $400/week seems nearly impossible.

These guys have done a really excellent job with the way they enforced a safe and very clean environment since re-opening compared to probably other gyms in the area. Its an even BETTER environment than it was before Covid-19! Its never too crowded, even in peak hours, and everyone stays socially distanced, with masks required when using weights/strength training equipment. Definitely recommend working out here.

Loved this location and all its amenities.and classes for many, many years.......was a member for over 6 years until we finally had to quit this year. We simply arent going enough to justify the $95 a month family membership. When we started we paid less than $75 a month years ago......but it has steadily increased annually, no longer making this a good value unless your whole family goes DAILY most days of the week. The class line up had gotten a little stale so we really stopped going, thus, we were paying each month for very little. Bummer.

I am ready to give up our family membership. This simmer has been awful as far as the staffing of the outdoor pool. Today We arrived at 12:30 have to wait until 12:50 to do swim test, while they are running slides....and my son and his friend cant do them....they both pass swim test then they close slides until 2. Not enough lifeguards. Now theres one over the deep end where no one is swimming and 4 in the lifeguard room.....😠 And this is the norm, not the exception. Really?!?

Review №89

UPDATE: The nice folks responded immediately after I sent them a friendly email about the situation. while they can’t change the swim test requirement (it’s a national YMCA rule) they did offer to set us up with help from their swimming instructor in order to help my son with his swimming skills. They were prompt and courteous and I can tell they want to figure this out.What a nice family pool! Sadly we were unable to fully enjoy it. I would like to suggest that the YMCA rethink their super strict swim test policy and to accommodate children with special needs. My son is 7 and is on the autism spectrum. He loves swimming and slides and I thought this would be a great place to take him on a hot summer afternoon. This YMCA has two gentle looking taller slides and a kiddy splash pad with a small slide. In order to be allowed to use the taller slides you have to swim about 20 feet in the deep end and then float on your stomach and back for Five seconds each. We gave it a shot and my son was able to doggie paddle the 20 feet but didn’t quite understand the command to float. So he failed. Was given a red tape wristband and we were told he could not use the slides. So we proceeded to the kiddy area to try to use the smaller slide. But were informed my son was too tall to use that slide. His heart was broken and he just didn’t understand. I asked the lifeguards if there was anything we could do? As the slide dump out area is only 3feet 8 inches — a depth that my son can easily just stand up in, no back floating or paddling needed. Plus there is life guard stationed there at all times. No we’re we’re told... no slide for you. Needless to say this was an unpleasant swimming experience and my son cried the entire time we were there. Won’t be coming back for a long time... I guess until we can meet those overly strict requirements.

I basically was raised in this place as both of my guardians were there constantly. And Ive never had an issue granted we never had a membership but then it was free for the reff.

Disorganized location - the right hand doesnt know what the left hand is doing. Called to sign up my daughter for a week of summer camp. The lady at front desk said there were still spots available. After an hour of going through registration process online it came to a page where it said: waiting list. Calling back, asking about the available spots the lady (Shannon) said she talked to a Program director (Donny) and that we can come Monday no problem and pay at the front desk. This morning (Monday), showing up with my daughter at the front desk - they cant find us in the system, 2 girls at the front desk are incompetent, basically told us there are bunch of people on the wait list, we cant do anything. My 7 years old is standing there, her eyes full of tears. Why did you make us come here if you knew you wouldnt let us in?Thank God, there are better YMCAs in the area, called the Woodlands YMCA, theyve found us in the system right away and were able to enroll besides the fact they were full as well.

Terrible gym. The equipment is alright but the hours are absolutely terrible. They open later than most gyms and close extremely early as well. Would recommend most gyms over the Y.

The front end staff is really rude and awkward. I mean Im sorry but acting like Im not a paying member and trying to act like Im getting in for free because I didnt realize my card didnt scan. Isnt a good look. I will be changing to a different gym. The rest of the staff is okay.To add to that my car got broken into. Like i don’t understand how you guys don’t have security.
