The J.A. Walters Family YMCA in Gainesville, part of the GA Mountains YMCA, runs a summer day camp for rising kindergarten through 8th graders. Camp operates Monday-Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. throughout summer break with offsite field trips (Chestatee Zoo, mini golf, wagon rides and more), and the branch also offers Camp Pine Mountain, an outdoor nature-based program in the Georgia mountains.

Powered by GoogleCame to see my daughter on her swimming classes,my wife came yesterday and no check in was needed she was sent straight to the window where parents can view the kids swimming. And today one of the STAFF members (not the clerk) stopped us and said we hat to check in, we asked the others parents and no else had to check at all,not sure why she did that,but it was an awkward feeling like if they didn't want me be there,they even said if u didn't checked in they had to removed us from the building......
I'll just say stay away from here, for your own good, for the good of your children if you love them, and for your own good. Don't try to experiment on your own; you might pay a very high price. Pay attention to all the bad reviews this place has; I'm telling you this from the bottom of my heart.
While looking for a home gym I read the reviews for this particular YMCA location and must admit that the reviews were somewhat offputting. I signed up anyhow with the sweetest girl named Mackenzie, she gave me a tour and was delightful. I went in during the holidays and things would've been confusing had it not been for her info and helpfulness. The staff at this location is amazing and very helpful and friendly. Ive been to other YMCA locations and this one stands alone with the hospitality. The hours are very easy to understand and very consistent 🤣🤣 anyone leaving a bad review must have their head in the clouds if you dont know that they are closing then you obviously have not looked at their hours.
We’ve had an excellent experience working with the YMCA and truly value the partnership. Our team recently completed a full sauna renovation, along with drywall and paint work, and we’re excited to continue with upcoming improvements, including the gym floor. Their staff is organized, communicative, and great to collaborate with from planning through execution. It’s clear they care deeply about their facilities and the community they serve. We’re proud to support such a well-run organization and look forward to continuing to work together on future projects.
Warning: Do not become members in this facility. The children’s pool is so disgusting. Today was our first day as members and I have already canceled our family membership. *Dirty pool with dirt and wig hair floating around. *The water slide stairs are deteriorated and falling apart. *If a child gets cut, a tetanus shot will be needed afterwards. Even if this facility was free to attend, I will NOT visit it even if it was for free let alone pay a family membership of $78 on a monthly basis. Very worrisome, disgusting and disappointing.
