YMCA

My son was doing swimming class. He is 7 yrs. during the class he got injured for poor supervision. The manager Brian is absolute rude and strong headed. He says the instructor said not to jump. He dis not listen. If a 7 yrs student dont listen and get injury, its your responsibility make sure he listen or take him out of the class. You can not allow him to cut his chin and get stitches. When asked for credit class they asked medical cert. You made him sick and should have your certificate. There was no follow up or steps to make sure this does not happen. I do not feel safe to give my kid under their supervision.

We just moved to Florida and the Y has been a great place to meet amazing people and families, their staff is amazing and really friendly and even when at 1^st I was not sure if it was going to work for us their classes for kids have been amazing, my son attends swimming and soccer loves both.
The gym looks smaller than what I am used too but it has everything you need, they offer a lot of classes the reason why I give 4 stars is because I feel that the building is dark doesn’t feel really open in there but you kinda start ignoring it with all the good things they have to offer.

The YMCA is amazing. The staff is wonderful and there are many activities and classes. Our sons play sports and love the child care.

I have belonged to the Boca Raton YMCA for over a year now. I am really happy with my membership. The gym is really clean and they are constantly updating all of the workout machines. They have a great schedule of classes with lots of variety and the times of the classes fit my schedule. I love that I can try different classes here all of the time so I never get bored.
All of my instructors have been very good and I have learned a lot since I started my membership. I haven’t really used the pool or any of the other activities besides the group exercise classes so I can’t really talk about the over Y programs but it is a great gym for someone who is looking for variety and it’s not intimidating to try new classes.

We have been members of the YMCA for three years. It is clean and updated. The staff is very friendly and incredibly helpful with everything. My daughter had been attending pre school for a year, and the facility has exceeded my expectations. During this time she has increased social skills, communication, speech, and learned how to swim. I honestly am not sure about the negative review regarding the staff and tours being rude. I have encountered many staff members each time I come in, and they are nothing but helpful and informative. The facility caters to elderly, and 55+ community, so they have patience. Not to mention its in the heart of boca, so their facility is above expectations. Their classes are affordable for members as well. Swimming classes are less than half the price than more swim schooled

Pleasant staff is something you will NOT find at this Y. I’ve been a member for about two years and you’re very lucky if you get a hello or good morning from anyone in this place. As far as upper management goes? They’re rude with very nasty attitudes. They are only nice to you when you ask for a tour or they are trying to convince you to join. Feel free to ask many of the families who were members but decided to cancel their memberships. I don’t want to be part of a place that treat you as if you owe them something. Don’t waste your time or money.

I’ve been a member of this YMCA for almost exactly a year, and I can still say it is a great neighborhood gym. It is a large but well-​maintained facility overall, and they have many different but typical fitness areas such as cardio, weights, spinning, yoga, etc. with a variety of classes offered. The staff has always been very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The equipment is in relatively good condition, and it does seem like they take cleanliness seriously, which is really important for a gym with so many members.
The only issue I’ve ever really had is with parking: there are plenty of spaces out there, but finding an available space within reasonable walking distance to the entrance can be tricky at times when they are busy.
Definitely a gym worth checking out!

Over the weekend, I went to my nieces swim class at YMCA and I was pleasantly surprised about how nice the facility was! I always heard great things about the Y but never been to one, now I see what all the hype is about! They offer a lot of different classes and activities for both adults and children. This would be the place to bring the entire family! Each member would be sure to find an activity of interest: basketball, swimming, weight-​lifting, cardio machines, Subway, etc. (yes…they have a Subway right inside!) I compared their membership with my current LaFitness membership and they are slightly cheaper plus you get more perks!

Nice family atmosphere, but there is a ton of old people, and a very real geriatric vibe. Good activities for kids. The pool is nice but, I am not a fan of sharing that water. Not too crowded. Overall a good place.

HIDDEN PRICES — Lack of Pricing Transparency
IT’S ALL ABOUT TRANSPARENCY. SHAME ON YOU YMCA.
From their website «a mission of putting Christian principles into practice»
I did not know that hiding prices from taxpayers is a ‘Christian Principle” !
YMCA is supported by taxpayers in many ways. They pay virtually no taxes, and receive taxpayer support from almost every governmental agency (City, County, State & Federal). In return for this massive taxpayer subsidy, they purposely hide the ACTUAL PRICES for membership from their website, preferring to treat the taxpayers considering joining to old fashioned ‘used car sales’ techniques. (THE FIRST STEP IN JOINING IS TO SCHEDULE A VISIT !). NO THANKS !
This is a disgusting slap in the face to the taxpayers in an age of increasing financial transparency. While consumers can now Google their prices and learn them unofficially, why should they have to ?
Please Note: OTHER YMCAs DO post their prices on their websites:

I’m a member of the YMCA in Charlotte and was pleasantly surprised to find out I could use this branch while in town this past week. They told me my membership came with a 14 day pass at other locations so I was all set! This location has done a 180 since I went there as a little kid for summer camp. The workout room was pretty big complete with treadmills, ellipticals and bikes but they seemed to be older models of Nautilus and Star Trac for the ellipticals — it’s Boca can’t they afford some Precors? The weight room is bigger than the cardio area with the standard machines that come with a gym but again, alot seemed to be older models and some out of service.
The locker room was very clean with a small selection of lockers, showers and a sauna. Even though my Y offers free towels, this one doesn’t unless you have it in your membership at that branch. The first day I got a towel, the second day the girl told me it was $ 1. Um, no. I will sweat it out thank you very much. Staff was friendly and their hours are much better than the hours in Charlotte **damn you Bible belt** All in all, a decent experience but I don’t think I would pay for a membership at this place since I like more of a variety of machines.

Been a member for many years. Competent and friendly staff. Never have to wait for a treadmill, bike or eliptical trainer. Brand new dumbells up to 100 lbs. Two pools and a beautiful gym. Great sports programs for kids as well as summer camp. Only complaints that I have heard that do not effect me are the lack of racquetball courts and limited free swim time.
