Tri-County YMCA

I recently dropped my membership and requested that the monthly deduction from my bank account stop also. I was informed that due to the bankruptcy that they could not stop auto-​billing and I should contact my bank. Seriously? So I had to go to my bank and put a stop payment on their auto-​deduction from my bank account.

This place feels very 1970s/​80s. But that’s because it is an older building. The equipment is up to date, or at least relatively modern. I cannot compare to many other fitness centers, because I haven’t been to anything but a ymca, or my work’s fitness center. The pool is nice, and a separate pool exists for laps and aqua zumba and deep water aerobics vs. The kids pool. So that’s nice. I never really understood the hot tub in the locker room, nor have I used it. Why are people naked in there??? Old grey hair stew. Gross. There are incessant warnings about not leaving valuables in the lockers. That amazes me, because isn’t this supposed to be a place with Christian values? Thou shalt not steal apparently isn’t being taught anymore. A nice place to workout, nonetheless, with lots of varying running machines, gazelles, elliptical type stuff, bikes, recumbant bikes, a track, weights of all kinds, and weight machines. Zumba, kickboxing, taekwondo, etc… and areas for children’s activities too.

I have been going to this YMCA in and off for almost a decade now, and I can definitely see all the improvements they have made! It looks very nice now that it is newly renovated! They studios are HUGE! I definitely recommend it for the whole family!!!

For the past few decades, I’ve worked out and and seen the transformation of the Tri-​County YMCA. As I’ve lived in other places, I’ve also called other YMCA facilities «home» as well. At the end of the day, I usually come back to the Tri-​County YMCA even though it may not be the closest. For me, it is always the most comfortable.
What do I like? This YMCA is clean, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The facility is modern with equipment to match and everything is in good repair that I’ve used. The instructors for their group exercise programs are great — I especially enjoy the Zumba and Aqua Zumba courses. They also have special programs like the Idle Ironman to help YMCA members reach their goals, try new things and meet new members in the process.
I also enjoy that they have family and adult-​only locker rooms. It allows adults a little extra privacy and grants access to the whirlpool and sauna as well.
What would make things better? It would be nice to have a co-​ed whirlpool in the public pool area. Also, Aqua Zumba is available for an additional fee. The Feith Family YMCA in Port Washington included this class in their membership. I am not sure if this has changed, but if not, it would be nice to have more consistency in pricing.
Other items of note: I did see signs to leave your valuables at home as referenced in other reviews. Personally, I have not had any issues nor has anyone else I know that uses the facility. With that being said, I don’t leave valuables in my car or bring anything of particular note to the gym when I workout. I also make sure my locker is secured in case someone feels compelled to steal my socks or tiny shampoo.

The place is clean. But apparently there have been a few robberies from lockers boo. Lots of posted signs about not leaving valuables in your lockers… Unfortunate.
The instructors are really nice and the gym doesn’t smell awful. I would recommend but be careful what you bring with you.
