Attending the YMCA for about 5 months now. Staff are Friendly and seem to enjoy working at this location. I enjoy the Spinning Classes with Greg and Tasha some of the bike could use a little TLC though. The Pool is clean offers a good change of pace workout. If you lift weights YMCA weight room is the real thing, just Machines and Free Weights in a compact space. Overall a Decent Place to Workout.

It was the glowing Unilocal reviews and three dollars that drew our family to the Maui YMCA Christmas 2013. Being members at other YMCA’s we expected the quality facilities and family orientation, but what we encountered set the standard for all Ys. From the different front desk employees to all the various instructor personalities, we enjoyed everything each person had to give. We took at least 8 classes and loved each one. We bought cool Maui YMCA shirts and also enjoyed chatting with Christine. We had one sad encounter with a yoga instructor who regretted the interaction she had with a visiting couple. Fortunately my standoff distance was greater than the gentleman who had unknowingly laid his mat near her usual area. Her choice of words and gestures combined with her entry of «Don’t you guys have anything better to do» betrayed her gifts and turned away the upstanding unsuspecting couple. Like a family she and the class worked out her holiday stress, but sadly without the polite man and his wife who had left. I wish that articulate couple would have stayed so that we could have given her a hard time together. The best vacations are the little experiences that reveal a culture and its people. Thank you MAUIYMCA for making our vacation so much more than we could have planned for.

I would like to give 5 stars but to be realistic I need to make it a 4, but I also want to make it clear I would go back here in a heartbeat. Such a friendly vibe and comfortable atmosphere… We had a great experience here… Ashley & Michelle at the front desk were VERY friendly and helpful, with a great sense of humor too. The gentle yoga instructor, Darnita, was good also… very kind and sweet with such a peaceful demeanor that’s perfect for this class format. We only paid $ 3 each as visiting members from the Mainland under the YMCAAWAY program. Great deal! Why do I subtract a star? Well, it’s an older facility(though kept up well). The cardio equipment and spinning class are all in the same room and it just happened that the class was in session while we were on the treadmills. It was a bit distracting since the instructor was REALLY enthusiastic — which of course is a good thing if you are in that class. :) As I have said in more than one of my reviews, 4 stars is still good and I’d rather see someone come and be pleasantly surprised by a 5-star experience than to expect high-end luxury and be disappointed. Especially if you are a Y member, you know how the Y is so much better than a typical gym for those of us who just want to work out. Enjoy!

After a few carb-heavy eating days, I was desperate for a gym. I had poked around a bit online and found this place was actually pretty close to where we were staying. They have s good variety of cardio machines, racquetball courts, and a smallish weight room. The woman at the desk was friendly, and the machines were clean, and well maintained. This is not a fancy schmancy gym, no TV’s, no towel service. Personally, I don’t need that stuff, so it was completely adequate for me:) I would absolutely come back next time I’m in Maui.

Everyone keeps asking me why I’ve always been a member of the YMCA. Apart from the fact that I enjoy a relaxed atmosphere and hate having to contend with musclebound freaks for weight machines and free weights, and that I enjoy keeping to myself and not dealing with the pathetic people who pick people up at the gym, the AWAY program is heaven for travelers. And usually, they don’t even charge you(but if they do, it’s like $ 3) I’ve used the YMCA in lower Manhattan a dozen times, the one in London(which would be like 35 pounds for a day pass otherwise) and even the one in Istanbul(where the gym culture is not as prolific as it is here), and now the Maui location on several occasions. It’s clean. simple. they’ve got a smith press, lots of machines, mats, yoga balls, bosu balls, free weights, a little rust(thanks to the humidity) on everything, but if you wear gloves it just brushes off. The racket ball people here are freakin religious about their sport btw. And there’s tons of free parking and everyone there is super nice. Regardless of whether you are a haoli or kama’aina.
