Powered by GoogleVery nice people and nice facility. I have only had good experiences here with the staff being extra helpful and the amenities being reasonably available when I needed them. The pool is very nice as well.
The lap pool is clean and well-maintained. The locker rooms are well-kept. The Y serves coffee until noon. It also provides a communal area with plenty of space. The staff is courteous.
Wonderful facility with kind staff! Great array of amenities and classes. Parking can be difficulty to find during peak hours— it feels like the overall gym should be larger it gets so busy sometimes! Rates keep creeping up. Lastly-and my biggest complaint: hours for the facility and its amenities are not clearly communicated across all channels. For example it opens late today because of bad weather but i was not aware until I drove there. I’m the primary account holder— maybe I missed an email communication??
This gym closes frequently and without notice. Their sauna is often closed for swim meets but the dates aren’t posted anywhere. A staff member told me the sauna closure was due to a member jumping in the pool so instead of banning him, they close the sauna. Today, the gym was closed for a party, which wasn’t posted when I went there 2 days ago. Staff directed me to the Y in the borough which was also closed. Additionally, this Y is closed on ALL holidays (nice for their staff I guess, but I still work and want to go to the gym after). Can’t recommend for a gym. Might be nice if you’re focused on other aspects.
This Y is incredible and amazing place for kids and adults. They bring a sense of community and Gary is GOAT there. We just celebrated a pool party and that went off seamless. The staff were so helpful, responsive and made her day really special. Thanks a million Y, I truly appreciate it from our family, Lamplughs.
