Capital District YMCA - Troy Branch

★Katie

Why is membership so expensive? What adult has $60/month and $100 for a one time fee to spend on the privilege of using a pool run by a nonprofit. YMCA is a feel good kind of organization, but it's only affordable if you're low income. Moderate income individuals and families are priced out of the opportunity to use the facility.

I've been going to this location YMCA for sometime. I realize the building maybe old to make people like me that is disabled to get to certain places but I'm alright with it. Their all very friendly & welcome you. There's one person that always, always has a big beautiful smile, encourages the correct way using equipment & is very patient. Any questions I've got he helps me. Over & over. I hope the YMCA reads my review. I'm 70, have serious spinal cord issues & neck, neurothopy & fibromyalgia. Austin you have really helped me so much. Hope you read this too because I was writing of you. You are the greatest & I hope others will not be afraid to ask because you do know your stuff. Thank you. Thank you YMCA in Troy, New York.

The gym is amazing, very well lit and adequate equipment. It has a swimming pool, sauna, and steam. They have racquetball courts, but one is converted into a gym storage or a gym. The second one is open, but the walls are bulging out from different places. It looks like it used to be good, but it is not good anymore. I didn't have my racquetball kit when I went there. They say on the website that they provide racquetball racquet and balls. But the racquets provided by staff were from a wrong sport or not a standard size. Out of two balls they gave us, one was ripped. It is good to have a racquetball court in at least one of the capitol district YMCAs. But the situation is sad!

Me and my fiance go to the Y in Troy, everyone there is always extremely friendly and helpful. We’ve also been doing the personal training with Austin and he’s been an incredible resource for us in terms of learning our way around the gym, improving ourselves and not hurting ourselves along the way! Funny and professional and always makes training a good time.

While this Y is slightly smaller than the other Y’s in the capital district, the facilities are still very nice and the staff is incredibly personable and helpful! My fiancé and I have been seeing Austin for personal training since late October, and we both have witnessed really wonderful progress in both shape and strength. Austin makes training a lot of fun, and breaks down each exercise in an easy to follow and unintimidating way. As two novices to working out, we were at first a little overwhelmed by all the equipment, but with Austin’s help, we feel so much more confident and are getting wedding ready!
