YMCA

The best YMCA in the nation! I love the indoor pool and the gym! The water in the pool is so clean beautiful and most of times are at perfect temperature except when pipes are broken once in a long while. Staff are nice. Most of all, they offer a very wide spectrum pool schedule starts at 5am!!! How great is this?! It provides moms like me can enjoy my early morning workout without compromising spending time with my kid during the day. Absolute LOVE this YMCA!!!

Great programs but locker room is so outdated. Gyms that charge far less offer basic amenities like hair dryers which are non existent at this ymca. Recently went there for a swim class and the pool was FREEZING. So cold that I couldn’t get in. On my way out I told the front desk who apologized and said that the pool was broken and that they ordered a part which would be in the following day. They added that it had been broken for the three days prior. They should have alerted me and the others in the class before went attempted to get in. Very disappointing.

I just started going to this gym. Let me say this the fitness classes are great. They just started with Les Mills Body Pump classes. If you are intimidated by working in the weight room this class is for you. You work with a barbell the entire class, you can adjust the weights. 800 reps per class. 12 songs, 5 min each, each song working a different body part. I suggest this for anyone who wants to tone up quick. As we all know lifting weights is essential in any weight loss or toning régime, this is fantastic way to get it all in. Great class.

My family has been members of the Glen Cove YMCA on and off for about 10 years. We started out as full family members but have dropped down to just program members for their swimming program. All four of my children have taken swimming lessons there — my daughters started as infants and my boys when they were in preschool. The swimming instructors are excellent. They have a lot of patience with the children and they make learning fun. Both my boys were able to pass the swimming test at our pool club at 4 years old. We have friends who are 8 and still can’t pass the test! While the instruction is great, the facilities such as the locker room and showers are very old and dated, some of the shower heads no longer work or work properly. So if you are looking for nice fancy facilities, this is not the place for you. But if you are looking for a bare basics club, this is the place.
