The free weight Olympic bars should have been thrown away years ago. no knurling left and the finger rings on a couple bars is completely worn down which takes over a decade. the benches are backed up into the wall making a safe spotter lift impossible also the 45s cant slide onto bottom holders because they hit the wall.the 1 Olympic bar didnt feel 45lbs. scale in mens locker room stays in middle from 216-222lbs so it is not calibrated. I can see this being used for the pool and racquet ball.but as for free weights the bars are unsafe and need to be replaced.also Olympic bars under 45lbs should be labeled on end caps with the weight. I have over 30years exp.if your the manager reading this and wonder why this is so dangerous here is the answer.the finger rings on the bar help the lifter identify when their hands are bilaterally symmetrical so when you lift off weight its not off balance.having 2 different weight Olympic bars (excluding female olympic) that are same length but 2 different weights will throw someone off if they use the heavy bar on a different day not knowing its heavier than the other Olympic bar. there is 1 cheap chrome plated bar there, that has finger rings but no knurling. YORK or TEXAS Bars made in USA should be bought for this YMCA.im sure local powerlifters would even donate some older TEXAS/YORK brand bars.other than that it was clean and the staff was nice. just needs more scales, and have them calibrated, quality Olympic bars and please spend the whopping $20 and get real bar clamps not those spring weight clamps which are junk.🇺🇸🦅💪

YMCA pool is a clean and well maintained. The only issue is that there is not enough shade to protect you from the sun.

I love going to the pool! It is clean, also the deck area, the staff and community is friendly. I was impressed how they kept the water cool on the majority of the hot summer days and in the winter months its heated!

Signed up right before coronavirus. They shut down before I ever had the chance to use the membership. No way to cancel online. Paid every month for at least 6 months. Cancelled and tried to request a partial refund since I never signed in or used the facilities or programs at all but was denied even though I read online that some YMCAs would refund up to six months because of coronavirus.

The Y is awesome and the front staff is amazing but not very well informed when it comes to the Pool. I like doing laps during weekdays after work 4p or so but the swimming team practices have changed their ways in utilizing the longer length of the pool for corridors! So I gave it another try yesterday I called and requested information about the Pool and they offered to transfer me to the Pool area office, The Lifeguard was very nice and gave me all answers to my questions :) LOVE MY Y

My family and I are long-time members of the Port Orange YMCA. My son participates in youth sports, after-school, summer camp (through last week). For weeks, these were flyers posted offering care options for Virtual Learners (No minimum participant requirement or deadlines to sign-up posted anywhere).This morning, on 1st day of school, we are told that the program is cancelleddue to lack of participants (After being provided registration paperwork). This all happened after Diana walks past the table we were sitting at filling out the registration paperwork. On the flip side, I called the facility (after I left) and the director(Diana)states we could be put on a list, however she never offered that option in person. On a separate occasion, Diana (director), also told me that day camp hours were from 9a-4:30p (Actual hours are 7a-6p) I ask her if she is accepting students on a case by case basis.Our family now, has to very quickly come up with another plan. This is very disappointing and a little inconsiderate, to say the least. It would have been nice to know in advance, that the program would be cancelled if there werent at least 25 students signed up.

Great place to work out. Lots of equipment and a variety of aerobics classes🙂 Plenty of sanitizer to sanitize equipment and for hand sanitizing. Friendly staff!

Review №19

I would not recommend this location. The director is incredibly rude. I went to her with a reasonable concern about my account and she cut me off while I talking. She shows no compassion and gives you a huge attitude when you try to work out a resolution to the problem. Yes this is a gym but a certain level of customer service isnt too much to ask.

Director needs to become more engaged.Notice poor supervision in some areas. She tends to care less. The help would be well advised to regularly police the premises.Its a people to people business. She likes to be in her office.Facility has tremendous potential.Things are improving. Director now very visible.

I use to attend the YMCA when I was a kid. My dad would pick me up after he got off work when I was like 5-12. Its a pretty nice place is you need an after school day care for your kids. They have a lot of activities to chose from and the pool I remember was always my favorite. Also they take the kids on pretty cool field trips!

I have never had an issue here. They have a few great exercise classes I attend, and I love swimming at the pool. I do wish there were a few more challenging classes, and adult sports leagues...but other than that, I always enjoy my workouts.

If I could give zero stars I would. I have been TRYING to communicate with Ginni in regards to swim classes because I called and was told to email her. She has responded to me ONCE, out of four emails I have sent her, I usually wait a week to see because I know I am not going to get a response right away but come on?! 4 emails! Every time I call, I am told I have to email her. She is NO HELP!!!!! I think I will take my money and go else where. The lack of communication is so distasteful. YOU NEED BETTER COMMUNICATION SKILLS, GINNI!!!!

My husband and have used the Y 3 times a week for 4 years. We used to enjoy. Now we find the equipment dirty and the temperature is above what it used to making it very unpleasant to try to get a decent workout. Ask staff about the air problem they said something about global warming and just ignored us. Sadly to say we have had to join another gym where global warming as not a problem.

Review №32

Honestly just fed up with this. I pay $36 a month to mainly play basketball. The children are always taking up the entire court so that just defeats the whole purpose of me going. You guys tell me “come in the mornings when the courts are free”. I’m sorry I’m in college and have classes all morning but yet you guys give no discounts for Daytona State College Students. If you want to take the kids the play soccer, do it on the SOCCER field outside right around the corner, not on a basketball court. I hate the fact that the only reliable time to come are the weekends. I don’t utilize all the things here like I said I only play basketball. It’s so ridiculous how children are the reason I can’t play yet I’m still paying full price. You guys don’t realize that people have things to do in the morning and can’t always come. On top of that, the courts aren’t even good. I have basketball shoes with excellent grip, yet I’m slipping every time I dribble the ball. There’s so much dirt on the courts it makes playing a decent pick up game impossible. Probably because all the kids coming from the playground kicking dirt all over the courts and your employees can’t clean up after them for whatever reason. I’m honestly just considering permanently canceling my membership. It’s sad when a basketball court is mostly used for other activities non related to basketball. This has been an ongoing issue and needs to be resolved.

Place is pretty nice, but real issues with the pool. The pool being the big reason Im a member there. It was closed for a couple months over the Winter for renovations (cant say what was renovated, looks the same,)and now its only mid April and its closed with more issues.

This Y is OK. The Pool - which is lovely - and the best thing there has a tendency to close with poor weather or repairs. The facilities for family changing are similar to a Soviet era hospital while the adult changing rooms are nice. The staff are hit and miss and front desk can get snippy with customers. Mostly this Y caters more for senior citizens than families.

Review №41

The staff at the reception desk is quite unfriendly; no hello, no good morning, etc. They just scan they bar code as if they were not interested in being there. On occasion, they dont even utter a word. Awful welcome to a gym (or anywhere!). People working out sometimes are on their cellphones while on the treadmill. No one reminds them of the rules. The weight-lifting room is dirty, and I have seen guys bring their boombox (or version of it) and play their music with total disregard for the comfort of others. The trainers look so bored (like zombies) assisting or training members. Yesterday, there were two members talking with each other out loud near the treadmills; they were about 12 feet apart so they had to yell. No staff person came to remind them to tone it down. Somethings not right with this place.

The management at this facility are awful. The gym is pretty small and over crowded most days, the pool is closed more than it is open to paying members in Florida the SUNSHINE state, the $24/month membership fee isnt worth paying for what few amenities you actually get. I tried to cancel my membership over the phone and was never instructed that they require you to physically come in to the facility to fill out a cancellation form, was then transferred to an extension for someone on vacation who claimed, when I called them back a month later after seeing they charged my account again, that she got my voice mail but could not understand my name and therefore couldnt cancel my membership or call me back to let me know about the form, and all she could do was repeat there is a form you have to come in and fill out.

Review №44

The workout equipment is kind of old. Not a very clean space. The idea of wiping the equipment after you use is a good one, but you have to wait until the sanitizer liquid dries before you use it. Instead, they should have more sanitizer liquid stations in more places rather than only behind the front desk. The staff at the front desk rarely smile or say hello, as if they did not want to be there. Its kind of rude. Its a bummer once you pay for membership and youre welcome like that.

Its ok but $24/month seems expensive for what they have to offer. Theres only one spot for benching and about two of the rest of the machines. Theres plenty of treadmills. And it seems like the place is mostly for their yoga etc. services

Review №52

Very disappointed with the lack of organization and communication at this YMCA location.Im part of a group of 15-20 people who have been coming three days a week to play pickleball at the gym during the reserved time of 8:30a to 11a on MWF. However, it has not been uncommon to show up at 9a and the staff hasnt finished setting up the nets or havent begun at all. I shouldnt have to repeatedly ask for the facilities to be setup for the scheduled activity.While thats been frustrating, its nothing compared to being told one thing by the staff at the membership desk, specifically Yes, you guys have the space reserved on Monday, only to show up on Monday and have another staff member tell you that they wont put up all the nets because they want to let the basketball players have a chance to play as well? When the calendar outside the gym confirms its pickleball scheduled for the entire gym for that entire time slot...??Or, in the middle of your reserved time (which, again, the calendar outside the gymnasium confirms) a staff member walks in and just says, The gyms closed today.I dont just use my membership for pickleball, but Ill be canceling it because of how poorly managed their program has been. Its not worth putting up with when there are other locations to play for free (The Shores) or for much cheaper (Port Orange Rec Center). LA Fitness will get my business for my other fitness needs.

Review №53

First of all, I would like to talk about the misuse of the basketball courts, many of us dont appreciate that when we go to the YMCA solely to play basketball, it is taken up by childcare, because they have to separate the boys from the girls just to protect their innocence. I also am against the rudeness of the manager towards the children. Many of the children who go their from anywhere, are the only ones who go their out of anyone in their family. If the rudeness doesnt stop, we will cancel our costly memberships, and go to the much friendlier Port Orange Recreational Center, and thats valuable money lost. Also, when we tried to bring a guest, they wouldnt let us, because they call it a liability even though none of us have ever suffered a major injury. The only reason why I didnt give it a zero was because, first of all 0 stars is not an option, and secondly, the staff, other than the manager, tries their best to be friendly. One other thing before I conclude, when we tried to file a complaint while we were physically at the Y, the manager followed us, and told us to step away from the customer service desk. Since that happened, thats why Im posting it here.
