Swimmers don’t go here, they have that YMCA flyers meet every single Sunday for at least 4 weeks. Posting only a day before which is not acceptable. Even if you ask them will that be the last week for the meet where large pool is going to be closed they will say yes and still happening next weekend.

Poor customer service (front desk)
Some of them are not paid for helping people, they are paid for challenging your endurance . They are like to sing in front of you after they won the little kids' argument game

Blasting music in neighborhood at 10AM on a Saturday morning, along with announcements over microphone every hour on the hour, with no regard to the apartments and houses nearby.

Thanks for playing Baby Shark as loud as possible, you have no empathy for those that work night shift and are just trying to get some sleep.

The only one that was really tasty.

My husband and I joined the YMCA about 2 weeks ago. We joined with the borough wide package. We really enjoy the steam room and working out! However, this particular faculty is not at all welcoming to other races. Though the majority in the area is Asians, I thought it would be ok to come! When you walk in it’s very cold, un welcoming and I automatically feel watched. A life guard by the name of Janelle made me very uncomfortable. I felt like crying when she approached me very mean, I have braids and all my braids didn’t fit in the pool cap, she said that I wasn’t allowed in the big pool and that it was for laps swim only , it was very cold, I felt like crying as she scolded me that I was being recorded as if I did something wrong. It was only my second day I didn’t know! Honestly embarrassing , my hair is different, she even called me names on her radio when Telling the other guards to beware of me! Wow wow wow! If your of any other race besides Asian you will feel they don’t want you there! It’s sucks because I really love meeting new ppl and don’t mind being around other races! I’ll be back for the steam room. But it’s really scary! As a woman of color going for a simple 1hr work out might just not be the go to spot! If you want to feel watched and unwelcomed this is the place to be!

?? ?? ????: Walkable gym, for $94+$44/mo. (ttl: $138/mo.), for 2 people is a good deal.

-1 ??: Communication with gym director re: the gym music
The current problem is 1) The music is not great, and 2) the music is ALL MALE.

I've had a few conversations with John Jopek, the gym director about it. HIs responses felt dismissive, evasive.

Maybe they should assign a volunteer or high school intern to do this . . . crowd source the playlist. Both Spotify AND Pandora make this easy. The streaming services do most of the work for you. There are SO MANY MORE amazing female musicians now compared to the 90s and 2000's. A lot more musicians who are women of color, LGBTQ. Their music should be supported and I think it is a sad missed opportunity that the SAME songs keep getting played over and over and over again, from *all male singers/bands*.
