YMCA of Ithaca & Tompkins County

LS 5 months ago

This review reflects my personal experience at the YMCA facility. Overall, I found the condition of the building to be below acceptable standards in terms of cleanliness and hygiene. Several areas appeared poorly maintained, with noticeable odors and an environment that did not meet reasonable expectations for a facility serving families and children. Although I was told that one particular room was more suitable, I did not find it significantly cleaner than the others. It may be slightly more tolerable, but in my view, it still does not meet appropriate hygiene standards. Furthermore, despite clearly expressing that another room had a strong odor and poor cleanliness, this was normalized and dismissed. I find this approach unacceptable and not aligned with the standards expected from a service-oriented institution. I was also informed that my daughter must use the “family room,” and that children under 11 are not permitted in other areas. I find this type of rigid restriction inappropriate. If a child is accompanied by a parent, such limitations should be applied with more flexibility. As a paying customer, it is concerning to be told what can and cannot be used in such a rest

For a $2 million operating budget and being a member for over 10 years and now bringing my kids, the downfall to witness and the amount of resources this YMCA has is ridiculous. At the least, this place should be spotless with all the funding it receives an available programs, etc. Nothing against the people, people are great but come on guys visit any other YMCA in New York State and this is hands-down, the worst as far as basic cleanliness and maintenance.

I love this Y - have been going since about May and it is a wonderful alternative to the busier gyms. Less packed, good amount of machines, weights, everything you could need. Wonderful cardio room. And don’t sleep on the pool - almost always available for laps - which is a must. Thank you Y, for existing!! My only potential concern are the young ones that find themselves in the weight room, and weight room etiquette, which most are typically good at reminding others about.

I love YMCA! They added more group exercise classes - my favorites are Rumble, Strong Nation & Boot camp! , and several strength small group training classes - Yay! Total Boost & Women on Weight - recently and they are great! There are many options all day long. The swimming pool is much cleaner than before. Staffs are super friendly and efficient. I am so glad I live near Ithaca Y :)

I just got my membership about a month ago and I could not love the YMCA more. I am a Marine Corps veteran and they gave me a very generous 10% discount which they offer for all veterans. They have just about every piece of workout equipment that I could ask for, a very friendly environment, and the staff are very kind and helpful. There are a ton of amazing perks and amenities, the pool is wonderful, and they offer two free hours of child care while you work out per day... what more could you ask for. Awesome!! 👌
