Princeton Family YMCA Summer Camps

★Kathleen Branco

Applied for the low income discount program end of March and was accepted. I brought the signed paperwork in. Called numerous times left messages never received a call back, never got the membership

The facility is okay, but one of the staff members is highly unprofessional. They never informed me about a certain rule before, but suddenly got angry and demanded I follow it out of nowhere. Very rude and unpleasant experience.

I visited Princeton for a week long conference at the university. The Y offered me a free trial, week-long gym membership, and it was a great experience. - Staff was kind and helpful. - Machines were functional and in relatively good state. - Locker rooms and showers were a bit smelly, but still ok for me. Overall a great experience. I can’t speak for the price and signup experience because sadly I had to leave.

The fitness center and men's locker room are shockingly out of date and look like they haven't been cleaned or repaired in decades. You have to go up and down stairs to get between them: the top level shakes (???) and the basement level smells horrible. There was almost no useful equipment (bands, dumbbells etc) that most gyms have in the yoga studios either. Very limited equipment, bathroom and water bottle stations available. Honestly embarrassing for Princeton that the facility is in such a state.

2.5/5 — Good facility, confusing fees/cancellation. Read before joining. I used the Princeton YMCA from July 15 to August 8, 2025 as an alternative to Dillon Gym. The equipment and facility are clean, well maintained, and solid for weight/functional training. However, several policies felt confusing and unfavorable to members: The monthly fees is around $80 which was made clear on their website but $55 one-time fee (for new members) appeared only at online checkout during my signup. In my experience, this wasn’t clearly disclosed up front. 30-day advance cancellation required. If you want only July, you basically need to sign up on July 1 and submit cancellation immediately, or you’ll likely be charged for August. No proration for mid-month starts. If you join mid-month and cancel right away, the 30-day rule still pushes billing into the next month --- effectively another full month. Locker room privacy: Showers are open (no partitions); expect people walking nude between locker and shower areas. Account deletion: I couldn’t delete my account online; I had to email/call to request removal. Bottom line: Great gym equipment, but the billing/cancellation rules and limited online controls make it easy to pay more than expected. If you do join, start on the 1st, budget for the $55 fee, submit cancellation immediately if you’re short-term, and confirm current policies before paying. This is my longest review because I felt some of these policies are unfair to unsuspecting members.
