Facilities look nice. My wife and I have been to this location several times wanting to join each time we are told there is no one there at that time to help us and that we can not make an appointment. We have been told to come in early morning during the week however we both work at that time. So looks like we’ll be looking elsewhere to join

For the second time, my kid was left off the roster and coaches didn’t contact us.The director told me everything is posted to the website for us to know, basically it was our responsibility and for us to contact them if there’s an issue. Does that include contact information to inquire about practice time?How can we ever a hold of anyone if no one ever answers the phone when there’s an issue at the main office or different departments?Very disappointed in their lack of communication, professionalism or helpfulness.

The revamped Y is amazing! Welcoming reception area, always someone there to assist, large weight room, very clean ladies locker room, and many more facilities. Fantastic upgrade from when I visited in 1995.

MISOGYNISTIC! misogynistic. Old fashioned and awful experiences with staff. Went in a crop top and was told nothing about it the day I signed up and did my entire workout but when I come the next day scan my card and walk in the women at the front desk say nothing to me still and smile at me, but the lady who’s cleaning the gym says I’m not allowed to wear a crop top or show my belly button?So she told me to pull my tank top down and cover my belly and “Make sure you don’t do any workouts that would make your shirt come up”she’d rather me pull my shirt down and show all of my cleavage than to show my belly button?0 stars if I could. I’ve never felt more disrespected as a women in a gym before.And she later came the check up on me during my workout to make sure my shirt didn’t come up.

Edit: I was contacted by a manager and there was a discrepancy in understanding the policy by the staff member. The manager reached out to me same day and was apologetic to the treatment I received. The policy as it stands is due to the facility being a Family oriented facility and is not new.Very disappointed my first time working out in the facility. No issue with my attire was brought to my attention as I walked in... stood at the front desk and had a 2 min conversation with the lady... walked past 3 people wearing YMCA shirts ( to whom I gave a cheerful good morning). Then halfway through my 1st set one of the 3 people aforementioned interrupts me to tell me the lady at the front desk failed to tell me I couldn’t wear a crop top but I was okay to finish because my high rise tights covered my skin... oh and it’s a new rule because some of the MEN (really?! Ohhhkay) didn’t like them.Well, I won’t be returning and I will be making sure that everyone I know knows that apparently we aren’t there to workout but instead the “men” can observe and pass judgement on females attire. Just pathetic!

Good gym for a quick workout. In my opinion, the only Con is some of the employees literally breathe down your back just watching what you do and walking back and forth like crazy. Feel like Im being stared at all times. Not even done with the weights and they asked me to re rack if I was done. Other than that its very clean and organized.

Child care horrible just because my daughter was crying and throwing toys they kick her out that how Kids are why work with kids if you can’t handle them cancel my membership! First day in child care my daughter they had her in time out and every time I would take her this one lady from child care would make these face like,” ugh this little kid again. “

I’ve been going to the ymca for years & today was the first day i left unhappy. I know the dress code i know all the rules. But today one of the employees Juana told me i couldn’t have my shirt tied. Didn’t give a reason why i couldn’t. She was very rude & disrespectful towards me & pretty much embarrassed me in front of everybody in the gym. People were staring & i wasn’t even arguing with her at all. But i didn’t have extra clothes so i was forced to leave & i was only there for 10 minutes. I know how to dress at this gym. I know not to show too much or wear short shorts. She also told me i couldn’t put my weights on the bench in front of the mirrors but I’ve never been told i couldn’t before, i only do it so my weights aren’t in the way when people are trying to walk around me, i wouldn’t want anybody to trip & hurt themselves. I’ve never came across such a rude/disrespectful employee before at this gym until today.

Moved in apartments beside it and they give us a free membership to the YMCA. I got a membership at anytime fitness too. But this is right beside my apartment so its convenient

Love the gym, but not how they run things. Apparently if you have a nice curvy body, you’re only supposed to wear baggy sweats. I’ve been in trouble for wearing spandex that in no way show my butt. But smaller girls let their cheeks hang out and the employees don’t say anything to them. Also only certain girls can wear crop tops/certain guys wear cut off shirts. I guess they have favorites? Saw an old man walk around without a shirt today and they didn’t say anything, but god forbid the old lady working sees my thighs

The facility is new and clean and the pool is awesome. I wouldnt recommend youth sports through them as the youth sports and aquatics directer avoids addressing concerns from parents at all costs.

Some staff at the Y are kind and accomadating but the ones that arent are especially aggressive. I had been going for 2 solid months while being harassed by the lady (if you would call her that) named Juana. Between rude remarks that embarassed me and my wife, language used by her that my children shouldnt ever hear, or the blatant disregard for YMCA guidelines and harassment for 2 solid months, I cant recommend this facility to anyone. When I brought the issue up to the other directors/managers on staff it took several calls and several days worth of communication to get ahold of anyone or to have any communication from them. Once the communication was established the issue was blown over as if it wasnt serious. One particular time, the unwelcome demeanor and words from that employee had my wife leaving there in tears. Upon my mention that i was so upset I was considering filing a complaint on the employee and just working out at home, I immediately had social services called on me by the same employee in retaliation for my comment. The investigation is closed now with results being unfounded. This employee to the best of my knowledge still works at the Y. I am a professional web developer, computer repair tech, and rancher in my community and this heinous womans actions as well as the Ys tolerance for it have made my family feel forever feel unsafe there and we have canceled our membership. Also at least 8 other families/friends/coworkers I personally know have revoked their membership for similar reasons.If you value peace, respect, or the safety of your family. DO NOT go to the YMCA of Victoria as it is anything but family friendly.
