Mililani YMCA

The swim instructors are not very helpful or patient to begin with. Many of them are probably still in high school with little to no experience with children. For the child care center, kids are mostly confined to the small room, with maybe one or two trips outside at most. ⁴⁄₁₀ would not recommend.

It baffles me why the kids they hire to watch their preschool kids makes the preschoolers sit or stand in the sun but they are under the canopy or some shade.

This review is for the Biddy Sports program offered at the Mililani YMCA. Biddy Sports introduces preschoolers with their parents to the beginning of team and sports activities. It’s designed for your child’s first time experience in a sport and is aimed to help the child build confidence and a basic understanding of the sport.
They are currently offering Basketball. The class meets for one hour a week for 8 weeks, depending on the session. The fee for 8 weeks is $ 82 for non members and $ 68 for YMCA members.
For our first class, the kids started with some stretching and light warm up exercises, played a game of tag with the coaches, practiced chest passes with their parents, and ended with shooting some hoops. All, in one hour.
My son was a little hesitant to try something new, but he loved it immediately. The coaches were great with the kids. He had so much fun that I am looking forward to watching him each week.

I have been a member now just a little over two months, Im also a member at 24 hr fitness. The pool is much much better than the 24, and there is always a lifeguard, but the lap swim hours at the Y not great at all. I go for either the swim or the workout room, have not tried the classes. They also have nice clean showers and good water pressure with non see through curtains, lots of chairs and large room to change in and out of clothing, havent used lockers, but lots of them on premise.
The staff are all nice and friendly, especiall one personal trainer Jennifer, now she went out of her way to help me with an issue with the stationary bike. I needed to charge my phone and did not have proper hardware. Jennifer went out of her way to get me the things that I needed, Im sure she was busy with other things, since it was a busy open house that day. Jennifer was great and so friendly,
just full of spunk, she is a great asset to this Ymca. Thank you Jennifer, also just found out you can get a complimentary pass either through a member, or see if you can just get one.
I know on open house day they were giving ten day passes for the month of January.
The Y is smaller not loud and noisy more personal than a much larger gym type establishment.

I recently joined the Y for their summer special. It’s a really good deal and if you go 36 times in three months you get the fourth month free. I am all about free so I try to go every chance I can. I love their exercise classes during the day. Yoga class on Sunday is the best way to relax. And the Core class they have on Monday and Friday is definitely a work out. I used to be at 24 but the YMCA is so much better. It’s small and never crowded.

After mostly sitting on my butt for a few years I finally decided that it was time to get back into shape! I really didn’t want to join a gym or fitness center, been there and done that… not the friendliest atmosphere cause most are concentrating on their session.
Now that I’ve been coming here for a few months I can say that I really have enjoyed the classes! The morning aqua classes are mostly seniors, many who have been there for years. They are very friendly and easy going so even though I don’t get the hardest workout (depending on the instructor), I enjoy the camaraderie. Have tried the Tai Chi, many of the students know the routine. Most of the instructors are very good and enjoyable! It’s almost like being part of a club! I pay fifty bucks (no financial assist.) and it goes a looong way with so many classes to choose from! I can also go to any of the Y’s on the island too! Sometimes I have trouble deciding which class I want to go to and sometimes I just to to multiple classes! No extra $$$ to pay for it! Yeah!
Another thing I like is that they have fun stuff like the book club and just today, the chili cook off! I told the hubby that I should have joined the Y years ago!

A great alternative to 24 hr fitness. Cardio and weight rooms are small but has everything you need. Lot’s of classes if that’s what you’re into. Nice pool too. Staff are friendly. Basically it’s a cool place to work out. No BS.
