Prospect Park YMCA

★★Amy Krawczyk

We signed our child up for spring soccer at the park slope YMCA. We have watched every single practice and we are pretty shocked by the behaviour of the other participants. They are ignoring the coaches, not following directions for the drills, playing basketball and football with the soccer ball, calling each other names (loser, nerd). I'm sorry to say this, but the coaches do little to reprimand OR motivate participants. This has been a very disappointing experience and I would not recommend this class to others.

I’ve been a member for about two years and as a working class adult with no kids this place is pretty terrible in my personal opinion..aside from the locker room always smelling bad or old dudes with their Richard Nixon out, I come there to play basketball and it’s even a hassle to do that sometimes.. whether it’s them making you give your state ID just to use a basketball or slipping on the court because it hasn’t gotten waxed in god knows how long I can’t even get a good basketball workout in without getting kicked off the court because they don’t have another space for the kids to do activities in..atp I’m almost at the point of canceling my membership

I love this YMCA. People are extremely nice and want to help you out. Never had any issue with the service- have actually found the staff and team members to be quite accommodating of me and my young son- and love the classes (for myself and my son). Really great vibe and great options.

UPDATE: I canceled my membership. I joined for the pool and have been disappointed. They gate-keep the heated pool, reserving it mainly for adults with children. Adults without kids who can’t do weekday/weekend early mornings can only access the heated pool in the evening for 1.75 hours per week: 1 hour open swim and 45 minutes aqua zumba which is really water aerobics set to music. Also the staff is pretty rude. I will give it another month (which is my free month as part of the sign-up promotion) after posting this review to see if they make more time available weekday evenings and weekends during the day for adults without kids before I cancel my membership.

Main reason I got this membership was for the pools. So it’s extremely disappointing they seem to make no accommodations for working adults who don’t have children. Most swims are family swims for people with kids. It’s hard to get to use the pool because they hardly have any adult swims. When I signed up I had no walk through to learn the building. And I was told to cancel or pause would require a 15 day notice. Absolutely ridiculous. Thinking I may let my membership go because I am not available for the few times they allow adult swim. Seeing as many others complain and they don’t seem to care enough to change it shows they don’t care about customer feedback.
