Central YMCA is a top notch YMCA in the city center, considered a great place and an institution. It offers a wide range of amenities for the price, which is hard to come by in the neighbourhood. The facilities are nice, featuring two large full court basketball courts, a well-equipped gym across multiple rooms and floors, two swimming pools, and activities like swimming, squash, basketball, and volleyball. However, some aspects could be improved. For the price, the quality and state of the equipment, the digital app experience, the check-in process, and the hygiene of the men’s locker room have received criticism. The open showers and sauna are often noted for poor member manners and hygiene, with many members wearing dirty workout wear or underwear. Customer service has also been described as very rude by some. Despite negative points, many emphasize it provides a great value for the amount offered, especially compared to other downtown gyms. It is recognized for its value to the community as a place for physical activities.
Community that is inclusive? No, not at all. There are too many “old” members disrespecting and not welcoming the new comers. Families with kids or disabilities, please don’t go there.
