Eastside Family YMCA

5 stars for a world class gym. Speaking of the number 5, this is how many lifeguards we on duty to watch one kids pool– A+ for safety YMCA! This place is so safe it makes me wanna say… Y. M… C… A (you know u wanna sing along!!)
My ramblings aside, I will be going back and using the you know what out of my free 12-​day holiday promotion :-)
Free coffee too– WTF! Move over Equinox!

Great all around gym. I have been to and worked at tons of fitness facilities. If you have kids this place is a no brainer. The amount of activities that your kids can do with or without you is ridiculous. Plus they have new and excellent equipment for anything you need to get your adult workout in.

Absolutely love this ymca although even after the remodeling it is a pain to get a full workout in on the weight room due to the amount of people there…

Sad to say but I think the Eastside Family YMCA is racist. I drove about 20−25mins with my brother in law all the way out here because we wanted to try a different Y location and we hear this one is very nice. When we got here my brother in law had forgot his ID but when a guest forgets their ID there is a consent form that they’d have to fill out and the member holder will have to sign it. They refused to let him in and they acted like they didn’t know what we were talking about. I don’t like to argue with people and couldn’t figure out why they were acting like that and the only thing I can think of is because my brother in law is African American. I told them I drove a long way but they didn’t care.
It was too long of a drive for me and to see how they treated us I won’t be returning.

Good things — Clean facility, very good weight room, fairly large selection of classes (although I wish they offered classes that start at 6:00 am or 4:00 pm), great personal trainers, nice friendly non-​intimidating Y atmosphere. Pools look good (although I don’t use them). Lots and lots of kid stuff. Very nice and cool in there (IMHO there’s nothing worse than a hot gym!).
Not-​so-​good things — Turning left out of there will kill you. Annoying piped in radio in the locker room. No hot water in locker room sinks. Everyone on their cell phone in the locker room (hey, CAMERAS ladies!). Awful, stinky, gross unisex bathrooms upstairs where you need a bathroom the most (and there’s only two so you better not be in a hurry). Classes can be uncomfortably crowded.

Gym is pretty good. Pickleball is a highlight and I love the pool. Front desk staff is a little off but I suppose they try. The circuit is a little odd they should just let people do whatever they want as far as working out. No fun waiting in line for equipment.

I gave it 3 stars because, it’s really hard to find a machine. It’s always so busy! The staff is friendly and will explain and show you about the machines, which is really important to me because I often have no idea what I’m doing when I go to the gym. Wear flip flops if you’re going to the locker room! I got a nasty case of plantar wart on the bottom of my foot, which took over a year to get rid of! I also had to deduct some stars because of the following event. Now before I get into it, I will state, that my youngest child is a problem child. He is often out of control and really needs rules stated and ENFORCED during supervision. Their «daycare» complete chaos. Kids are running wild, screaming their heads off, having fun. Which is for every normal kid, a dream come true and are able to control themselves without going too far. Well not for my out of control child. He takes this unique type of a freedom from this daycare a step too far. Which often leads to them calling me to remove my child from the daycare. I really wish they offered a quiet daycare option for kids like my youngest child. The equipment in this gym was and still is state of the art. Overall, it’s a good gym. But VERY pricey!

Top Notch… It is extremely clean– there is always someone emptying garbage, mopping, scrubbing… Employees are always making sure you have everything you need and saying hello. If there is a problem or a concern they are on top of it in a matter of minutes and it is resolved without questions asked. They are all about customer service.
There are so many machines on the floor there is never a need to compete. It can get busy at rush hour but even with that there is always a machine to be had! It is amazing.
The pool areal is fabulous– clean and there are events and programs for the entire family. The locker rooms are spacious and you never feel like you are in anyone’s way. They have enough changing rooms for privacy if you want to be modest as well. The Cleaning Crew is amazing about making sure ther puddles are cleaned up in the shower area as well.
There is a lot for kids to do on their own as well to give mom and dad a break. There is a child watch with a climbing room and a baby room. There is also a teen area with video games and some fun ways to get exercise.
The amount of classes and services they provide is amazing. From Zumba and Pilates to Personal Training and Massages! It is just a fabulous facility.
I have been to other gyms and this is by far my favorite. It has a country club feel without the pain of the country club fees.

I echo what others have said – this is by far one of the nicest gyms I have ever been to – and it should be for the price for a monthly family membership.
Even during peak times when the gym is crowded, I have never had an issue waiting around for equipment or finding a parking spot. Even if I did, it’s well-​worth the wait: the staff is friendly and the facility is clean.
I use the child care facilities when I work out and the staff is AWESOME. The best in-​gym daycare I’ve been to.

This is one of the nicest Y’s I’ve ever been to period. Beautiful pool with giant walls of windows, huge rock climbing wall, kids gym area is a lot of fun, the gym equipment is not only newer but well laid out. The staff is friendly from your check in to the trainers assisting & thankfully not selling you PT sessions to you (waves at RAC!!). My only complaint is a big one, they are always PACKED. That poses a problem. Not into waiting around for equipment. Between that and finding a parking space I was there for 2 hours instead of one on a regular basis. Ultimately this is why we dropped our family membership after 1 year.

My family recently joined here as my wife canceled her RAC membership last month. So far, so good. We have two children and they don’t charge extra to watch them. The place is very clean and welcoming. The staff are fine but the members make it. No issues here regarding «tough-​guys» owning the gym and making you feel like you don’t belong. Friendly, family people make up most of the members here and it shows. Great equipment, pool, sauna, indoor track, etc. My wife couldn’t be happier and I am a fan.

This Y is an excellent place for families to go! The facilities are practically brand new (opened in 2006). This $ 15 million facility is the largest in the Monroe County area, measuring approximately 69,000 square feet (
).
Eastside Family YMCA is complete with a swimming pool, hot tub area, sauna, a large gym with Nautilus equipment/​weights/​aerobic equipment, a multi-​use recreational room, a gymnastics/​dance studio, and a lap track. There is also a rock-​climbing wall and a little tea/​coffee area to sit and relax. The locker rooms are large, well-​lit, and very clean.
The staff are friendly and the general atmosphere is very upbeat. Definitely recommend this as a top-​notch family health club.
