Wouldn’t recommend doing business with this establishment, especially considering they will try and take your employees and hire them behind your back . Making it extremely hard for small business owners to stay in business. Pertaining to a YMCA contractor it’s an absolute nightmare , a joke , the only reason as to why they even are in business is because they take from SMALLER BUSINESS. Save yourself the hassle, the trouble, the headache and stress and this place is super unprofessional.

Pros: The staff are friendly. Lots of parking.Cons: Expensive for the quality, in all honesty. The weight room and cardio room are in the basement of the building, and have a dingy feel. The equipment is fair enough. It's across from a high school, so outside of school hours it's often busy, and flooded with high school kids, which can make your workout experience annoying and cramped. Not the YMCA's fault, just a product of their location.My biggest gripe was the issue with cancelation. I left the area in May, and inquired about canceling my membership with the front desk. The woman at the desk told me to email online, as the membership director wasn't in. No problem, I emailed the address ASAP. I moved, and traveled for four months. Upon return, I noticed that my account had still been billed for June, July, August, September, and October. After two weeks of trying to contact the Membership Director, I finally got a hold of him. He canceled my membership immediately, but said he can only refund me two months. "It's on our guests to make sure they're checking their statements". Left a bad taste in my mouth. I know it's not this guys' fault, and he probably can't get approval to refund beyond two months, and I'm certainly not the "speak with your manager" type. It was just frustrating that I did what the front desk asked, and my email was received and I suppose, ignored, and now I have to foot the bill for $240-worth of membership fees because I wasn't checking. I will most likely pursue this remaining $240 that I paid, but I know it won't be easy.All in all, if you live nearby, it's an alright place. If you like pickup hoops, there's good runs on Tuesday nights with some solid guys. If you like to workout, try and go on your lunch breaks. Unless you like bumping elbows with 80+ high schoolers, with only half of them-or-so actually working out. I don't live on Long Island, I just worked out there, but I go to a place in the city with better amenities, and better space, for $20 a month. About 25% the cost. The cancellation piece is just a fair warning of the practice and care for clients. Two stars because all the staff were friendly!

This review is for the indoor pool only.I am the type of person whom Jim Gaffigan would kill. Because no matter what I get up at 5am daily and go swimming religiously. And don't give me wrong I do love McDonald's too. Lol!Despite there has been often lifeguard stability issue, the indoor pool has been providing much pleasure and benefits for me and countless others. The water quality and temperature have been maintained very well at most of the times. If they occasionally fall short, the management would adjust soon as they get emails or verbal messages from members. Yes, I have to admit we are a bunch of pool snubs. Lol! Thank you the management team for spoiling us. Even during the Covid time, you tried very hard to keep the faculty, all classes and pool functioning fairly smoothly. I heart my YMCA. The best Y in the entire NYS.

March 4, 2019. 5stars for indoor pool management and the new team!Many swimming early birds have been amazed by the new indoor pool management and all staff. Indoor pool s 5am shaft has been very much on time even in a snowing weather like today’s. standing applauds from all 5am early birds! Thank you, the management team, lifeguards and facility !November 7, 2018. 5 stars for Samone (I went the front desk to get her name spelling:)), one of the sweetest, most down-to-earth people. She dedicatedly cleans the entire open faculty and women s locker room daily!!! And she ALWAYS shows up with a smiling face and warm personality that make you feel going to this YMCA is a really pleasant treat:)). Thank you, Samone, for showing us such a beautiful and joyful face of YMCA at Glen Cove.Today this one STAR is solely for swimming center manager! It has been a problem for indoor swimming pool since this incompetent man has come on board. HE either cannot get life guard on duty on time in early morning shaft or he himself is LATE! And today is the worst ever. We are the daily 5 AM early bird swimming group and we waited 1 hour and 21 minutes for the swimming center manager to get to work!!! How ironic is that!? One hour and 21 minutes are ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE!!! IT is HARD to understand how a person can respect himself to respect his job. Please,, PLEASE director PETE, would you find a responsible person to lead the swimming center.Five hearty stars for Bodypump instructor Melisa. My new favorite is personal and BodyPump instructor Melissa M. She is very petite yet very strong with pleasant soul to train with. She changes BodyPump routine once a while to make it more fun and effective. Recently she conducted a fitness evaluation for me and gave me some good advice. Thank you, Melissa!

Place is nice and staff is usually helpful. Many clowns who think it is cool to drop the weight bars after a lift rather than place it on the ground. Most gyms do not allow that kind of obnoxious behavior. The staff should not allow that lack of respect to other members.

Very disappointed in the YMCA. Wanted to sign my son up for just one month to see if he likes it. Credit card ONLY! Would not take cash. What if you don't have a credit card? Not fair. Discrimination.

ive always thought of the ymca as a benevolent, non-profit organization that offers communities services WITHOUT DISCRIMINATION to any race, religion, nationality, or economic status. yesterday i discovered that theory IS NOT TRUE AT ALL! ymca glen cove is a facility meant ONLY FOR THE CREDIT WORTHY!! if you do not have credit nor are you elgible for credit due to low income YOU MAY NOT JOIN!!! i took my 14 year old son to register and pay for membership so he can join all his friends there and get some excersize to be healthy like his rich friends do. we had cash in hand to pay for the membership on the spot and to our horror WE WERE REFUSED BECAUSE WE WANT TO PAY IN CASH AND DO NOT MAKE ENOUGH MONEY TO HAVE CREDIT!!! my son and wife were HUMILIATED to hear that our economic status will DENY MY CHILD THE SAME RIGHTS TO ENJOY LIFE AS A CREDIT-WORTHY FAMILY OF HIGHER ECONOMIC STATUS! this socio-economic DISCRIMINATION has now harmed my childs mind and he just wants to stay home and play video games now because he feels hes not worth the same as his 'rich' friends. this may result in a lawsuit for FRAUD AND DISCRIMINATION and the story may get NATIONAL COVERAGE as the ymca CLAIMS not to discriminate against those of lower economic statuses. my family NOW KNOWS FOR A FACT that is a bold-faced lie and constitutes FRAUD. by the way we are a white family we just dont have credit or credit cards. they even REFUSED payment by debit card as well!!! i asked the receptionist if EVERY member has to be credit worthy to purchase member ship and she said YES!! this is clearly contrary to the ymca basic motto and biz model and should be tested in a civil courtroom. now my child will need therapy to understand why he is lesser than his peers and cant have all the same opportunities and fun in his childhood that everyone else has. all becuase of the fraud and discrimination of the glen cove ymca. we were willing to pay but now we will make the ymca pay us in court now.

I’m here almost daily. It’s a great facility, very clean, wonderful staff. The classes are good, the pool is well-maintained and the weight room and cardio room have everything you need. The price cannot be beaten. Downside is the clientele in the weight room is 75% teenagers, the pool is often 75% seniors, but in a way, that’s encouraging.
