The Northeast Family YMCA has a great environment & the staff is polite. On my first visit my experience was great. The fitness area is well illuminated with air conditioning. The bathrooms are well-maintained and are clean. I would definitely recommend utilizing their facilities.

Nice employees. Schedule not family friendly. Everything revolves around their daycare. Not the paying members and their families. Family swim. hours are on the weekends only. Childcare is a bust kids dont like it-not alot to do. Waste of money.

I have totally lost trust in the YMCA.1st my 6 year old daughter was allowed to leave the facility without being released to a identified adult (parent/guardian). I actually watched the staff OPEN the door and let her run out to a vehicle similar to mine.2nd, non of the staff are on the same page and you will receive different information from each staff member.3rd, Swim classes were canceled due to the pool closure and then soccer was canceled l. I decided to remove my daughter from the classes since there seem to be scheduling issues. I explained to the staff how my grandmother just died and it was a bad time for me to keep changing my schedule as the director of sports told me I would still be charged for these classes (which my daughter has not attended once). WOW… Never AGAIN

Some of the front desk staff need to remember that the members are not an interruption of their work; they are the reason for it.

I dont want to rate itI honestly feel its pricey for me, but that may not be for everyone. Customer service was friendly. I just want to learn how to swim, but Im not pay 99 for intial, 62 because you have to be a member, and then 77 for the classes. Its just too much

Thank goodness the pool is open again for deep water walking and the lifeguards are as attentive as always. Thing I missed most during the epidemic was the pool!!!

It was great we had 2 lanes to ourselves. Only 3 families allow at a time. Reservations required. Water a little cold but our 2 grandkids loved it.

I signed up my daughter (13 mo) to the swim starters parent- child class for 6-18 month olds. Class session was from 6/27- 8/15 (6:25-6:45) there were 7 sessions and 2 sessions were cancelled due to rain/ thunder. Of the 5 scheduled sessions there was not a consistent instructor, there were at least 4 separate instructors, that I can recall. It appeared to be unorganized. At the last class on 8/15, there was no instructor to teach the class. When I spoke to the front desk, they had someone check on it. They didn’t even know that there was no instructor. Then during the various classes the instructors seemed to not know what to teach. There was one substitute instructor who taught more than the others. I paid $96 for 5 sessions. I was using this experience to help guide me on whether I should join as a member; totally NOT worth it. Very dissatisfied. I’m going to try another YMCA location and hopefully I have a better experience.

I go every day that I am off. Very clean bathrooms gym pool childrens playground is pretty neat. They have a child watch serves for 2 hours so you can go work out or take a swim. They have family time. You do need a membership though. I believe keystone medical it is free to get in. They have all kinds of special classes. Tumbling for tots.

Came in after work to sign up, staff was some welcoming. I was given a full tour, signed up and registered for a class all within 25 minutes. Just the amount of time I wanted to spend after a day of work. Place looked clean and not too over crowded! Thank you for a pleasant welcome!

Please do not let Shantay Hodges sway anyone from signing their child up for swim lessons at the Northeast YMCA. I have witnessed firsthand her belittling swim instructors. I have signed my children up numerous times and every time I feel the instructors are wonderful. She should take a page out of her own book she preaches upon and learn to not down others, especially teenagers doing their best to teach her son who misbehaves. Google needs to do a better job weeding out these uneducated reviewers that make businesses look bad because they want handouts and freebies.

So I go to summer camp at the Y, and I 100% recommend this camp for your child. If you aren’t here for reviews on the camp itself, I recommend the ymca all together. It is an amazing place and has very friendly staff, clean bathrooms and lots of activities. I recommend a membership and or having your child go to camp. But, this is just my opinion

Im sure who or why anyone would call the staff rude.. I have been coming to the Y for over 7 years, and the staff is fantastic! They always greet you with a smile, make you feel welcomed. I had financial issues and Brian assisted me, and really went the extra mile for me. The facility is always well kept, and clean... if I could give more than 5 stars I would...

The gym is clean and family oriented and there is free child care. My membership is free because health partners pays the full cost. There are programs to join and it doesnt feel like a jock station. This place is great for families and single people. I work out, use the sauna and have a swim. Me and my nephew play basketball and I plan on signing him up for swim lessons and camp here this summer.

Review №59

The staff are very nice. But its nearly the end of October and the heated pool is sooo cold and when you get out,the locker room has big blower fans that make it feel like the AC is on! I used to love this place. But when the staff tell you that you have to go complain because when they say something to management they are ignored, it just might be the time to get a new place. When the temperature of the pool makes it unuseable,whats the point of having a membership?

Pool closes early at 9:30 am, even when other departments are more open to people. But after 8pm start cleaning the pool. The cleaning fluid is sprayed odor even in the pool water to swim there people there. It constantly makes the girl in the uniform of a lifeguard. Please stop is ignored. It seems that people are not respected..

Review №61

Full memberships will get you daycare (for members who have children- 2 hours maximum per day) so parents can have time to get fit, exercise classes such as zumba and cycling etc., a gym where you can play basketball, a small gym where exercise equipment is available (the machines for exercising) with small lockers (you dont need a lock, they give you one), and access to the pool with big lockers (times for free use of the pool varies daily and you must bring your own lock). I think there are about 1-2 private showers, one handicap shower, and a shared shower. You dont get all these things together as a package at Planet Fitness, LA Fitness people..

Worst place to send your child for swim lessons an swim instructor by the name of Jared Lord kept miss -saying my Son’s name purposely while supposedly teaching him how to swim , he told my son “he will call him what ever he wants until he learns how to kick his feet” ,then he called my son grandmom. Why would you say such a thing to a child, what an idiot. Like I’m so disgusted with this low class having individual, he shouldn’t be allowed to teach and belittle children anywhere.

Review №71

I was so uncomfortable taking my Son to this YMCA for swimming class. My son was not getting the proper attention while learning how to swim. He was neglect due to his speech barrier and other factors, which is disappointing and outrageous. I thought everyone is suppose to be treating equally, but I guess not at this facility. I WILL NEVER COME BACK TO THIS YMCA

Had a little trouble at the front desk but the facility is nice. I dont think it would be fair to rate the place based on my opinion of the staff. Not my kind of gym. But they accept insurance so they are a good choice for anyone who just wants a solid gym with a large array of equipment

Me and my mother signed up and we cancelled back in Oct we had to go in and fill out the cancellation form yet we are in march and she is still being charged. We called and they cant find the paper work so thats our fault. Called n Spoke to Brian n he said he would cancel it back in Dec and still nothing. Called today n the lady said she had to get ahold of Brian n they will get back to us. So everyone be careful if u cancel check ur stuff n make sure ur not paying for months on end that ur not even there.
