Reviews of Centre Branch YMCA (Gym)

Cheryl Richardson

We just purchased our family membership and LOVE the swim and gym programming. Staff is friendly and takes great care of children! We can have an hour long workout and shower and still have time left over! The kids love it and the facility has wifi which lets me get a bit of work done if need be. Staff is always smiling and helpful. I don't miss my regular gym membership at all and the whole family is much more active!

Mary-lou Watkins

Patrick J Rumsey

Located in the heart of London... DOWNTOWN. It has something for everyone. Open early. Very clean and inviting. Great pleasant staff.

Mohammed Hayyan

I have good experience in this sport facility which provides a lot of sport activities including soccer, volleyball, swimming, table tennis, weight lifting, weight reduction programs, yoga for adults and children, active and Creative programs for children, painting, Karate for adults and children and many physical, spiritual and social activities. The programs are not well organized, they have very limited parking.

Andrew Walker

This ymca is great, friendly staff, lots of room and the classes are challenging. Not quite the same with cover but would still recommend.

The Y has changed my life. Fitness has never been a big part of who I am but since joining the Y that had changed. I watch what I eat and go to the gym often. The Central Branch Y is the perfect place for me to realize my fitness and personal goals.

Shlomo Levi

Best and cost effective gym. Swimming and sauna available. Excellent equipment including squash courts. Staff very polite.

The Mysterious Mr. Serious

It has a decent amount of equipment, the dumbbells are nice and they have a pool and a court

Laura Beauchamp

Clean, wonderful facility with many activities and an onsite cafe.

Ross Todorovic

really great place, very clean. Staff are great! they just aren't open late enough. sometimes i finish wirk and they start to close up before i can get there.

Hephziy Anyim

Wonderful. 2 different types of pool. A regular pool and a pool that it's deepness can be changed at anytime. Lots of exercising equipment

Scott M

Friendly staff, great programs, clean facility. It would be better if their online booking system was easier to use, but that's not the fault of the facility. My entire family enjoys the programs and facilities available. Highly recommended.

Carrie “Carrie YXU” Diamond

Very dated equipment. Rusty lockers. A homeless encampment on the south side of the building. (I do not feel safe in this area). Some staff are quite friendly but many are aloof. There are much better fitness club options in the city for less money. Not recommended.

Branwen Maden

Great facility. Friendly staff! Very helpful. Considering the times we're in right now, they're doing amazing. Very thankful they're open!

Victor M

A great place for basketball, squash and the occasional workout. Always very clean facilities and a friendly welcome upon arrival. Proof of vaccination needed

Tyler Watson

Good place, lots of activities, programs (and classes you can take), equipment you can use and showers / change rooms / pool and hot tub. City venue, so can get subsidized

Nelly Murariu

I swim two to three times a week here! It's the perfect place! I love the lifeguards and staff. So polite and helpful! Totally worth it!

K Hodgins

Its Okay but once winter comes good luck getting into there parking lot after 4pm. If you have small children wanting to attend the Mini Y or Kids Combo expect to wait, a while or go real early.

Tesa Bulanda

Clean, friendly staff and many amenities.

The Y here is once heck of a place to work out. I always come here almost every day to take some shots and drills in basketball. Staff are friendly, it's clean at most places, and it's just a great place to hang out with anyone. You're never going to have a bad time here, trust me.

E. B.

When are the hours going to change? I really wanted to renew my membership but the hours aren’t convenient anymore.

Charlotte Turner

I find the staff to be helpful and friendly. The changerooms are spacious and clean. The Aqua Fit instructors are excellent.

Christopher Kelledjian

Great facilities. Only downside is they've been removing keys from lockers which sucks. Awesome staff too.

Amy Vowles

Everything from staff to facility is amazing! Family rate is what an individual would pay for a private gym membership. This YMCA is located downtown and understandably, parking in the lot can be tricky (free parking!), but if one plans for it, it is not really an issue. There is always parking nearby, even in winter.

Paul Graham

excellent club, great facilities and pool. there is something here for the entire family. everything from pounding iron to a quick swim to a game of hoops!

Mark Joseph

This location is in need of an overhaul! Many dated machines & equipment. Rust in the lockers in the change rooms. Not very good value for the money. YMMV

ELIAS

Our five year old enjoys karate and swim lessons, ball hockey and soccer. Great facility and staff

Tt

Love this gym...Teen night is a little much ,stay away on Friday nights ,but otherwise great gym ????????

Thomas Kimonen

Sadly I will be cancelling my YMCA membership. This location has a fenced in area on the south side of the building. (On King St). I guess someone though it was a good idea to offer the homeless a place here. I see they feed them and …

Ted T

Getting out of this membership was quite a hassle. For some reason they require that you come in to the facility to close out your membership, which is rather complicated when you've already left town. I had to call and then email someone to have it cancelled and it took her a couple of weeks to get back to me. On top of that, they require 30 days notice even though you're billed biweekly. On the upside, they don't seem to mind if you travel frequently and visit Y locations in other cities.

Moe AlOthman

Too much love because you keeping me in a healthy mood ☺️☺️

Marcus Riedner

A nice moderately sized YMCA. Super friendly staff and clean. Weight room is small, but has everything you need. (3 power racks, 1 Smith machine, and a XFit area.)

Clark Home

I like the machine circuit but I think the leg curl and bicep curl machine could be better.

Alaura

Absolutely great fitness and community center. Have been a member forever enjoying camps and kids programs as well as my own fitness. Much to offer London.

jack shilatos

very little parking. mostly full due to people using it to go to bars and restaurants downtown. they mostly allow anyone there without membership specially teens. and there the one that keep the place dirty and tear the place down. 60% of treadmills are broken. recently they took out the tridmills and promised they be getting new ones in. after a week they brought the same machine back and still 60% are out of order. you no longer have the virtual archive and no longer can track your activities by signing in. constantly jacking up membership year after year. the only good thing about this place was the hours (10 pm) . they manage to screw that up too; weekend till 7pm only.

Mike Whitla

Nice older building with a lot of facilities. Weights, gymnasium, squash courts and two swimming pools. Nice that there is free parking.

Matt Smith

No better place in the city for a workout also great for families due to the multiple activities availavle (fitness, sports, swimming, etc)

norman taylor

I am very comfortable at this gym. The girls at the front desk are Kool.

Micah VanNyenhuis

Hot tub, workout rooms, kids jungle gym, squash court, 2 pools, basket ball court, and great staff!

Matt Halpin

I enjoy playing squash here, but several times, the courts we booked were either double booked or not booked at all. Or if we book two, they only book one. On an occasion when we were told one of the courts was booked and could only have one, we arrived to find that the other court was booked by someone giving some kind of soccer lessons inside.

Vitali Golenitski

Fantastic staff and a great pool for your little ones. Pool adjusts between 2 and 4 feet allowing for great swimming practice

Joan Picken

I was treated at this clinic from January until the end of March by Christa Lindsay. I have nothing but positive remarks to make about Christa, the reception staff and by my treatment. I was always treated with respect and kind words. Christa is an amazing therapist and I want to say thank you to her especially for helping me recover from my surgery. Thank you Body Mechanics for hiring such competent staff. I am very pleased with my recovery and continue at home. Thank you again.

wade bain

Great physiotherapists and two beautiful pools and gym. Best bang for buck for a desirable place to work out.

BILL BUGLER bugler

One of the greatest places in london for the whole family or just yourself. The people there our a community and our considetate and helpful. The staff is the greatest and will treat you like you are family

marijana mihaljevic

Lots to offer for the whole family and reasonable membership fees. They are not open 24/7 and close quite early on the weekends. Some staff members are helpful and others have no idea what they are talking about (for example I was told 'I dont know, come back another time, or go to another ymca).

sweet juicing69

Nice place. I am disturbed by the lack of action by staff to stop grown single men from being the Family Change Room. They were looking at women and naked kids. Just disgusting. I did go back and the black man still goes in the change room. I just hide from him. Why does the staff do nothing? I called the cops etc. But no one cares of the

Ben Duncan

A really nice facility. I'm a gym only member but it has everything I need to get a good workout in. The staff are kind and friendly. Definitely recommend getting a membership here!

Justin Mullarkey

Pretty decent YMCA. Great facilities. Although you may end up waiting for machines during peak times.

Marney Kent

YMCA hosted the polling station for the federal election. Moved smoothly and took about 20 minutes.

ANN HUCKE

Great people to help....great programs...but wish could just buy program you want such as yoga and aqua fit. ..Over $800 per year....only want 2 things

sherry conly

Had my car broken into twice in there underground parking. Machines are very dated. Half broken down. Don't go there anymore

Nicole Madigan

Lovely place for our whole family. My 4 yo loves that the pool moves up to 2 ft for family swim.

Ric Dumas

Good prices, friendly people very helpful, great equipment. I am very happy with this facility!

holly pytel

I do really enjoy the big swimming pool. If you like to have a quiet swim with nobody splashing you in the face the best time to go is between noon and 3pm. Be prepared the water can be cold but refreshing. If you prefer the water to be warm the small pool has what you're looking for, and aquafit classes. The facility is clean but there is room for improvement.

Laurie Shaw

Very friendly staff and a non judgmental environment for the most part. Surprisingly, it's the seniors in aquafit that impact my day, and being that I have a non visible disability I rarely speak up. ???? But hey, I can do lots of other things.

Outcast Underdog

Great place to go! Workers are friendly and hard working! The environment is kept clean!

sheila lightfoot

I just wanted a nice swim. New to the area. I'm sooo pleased with the staff, the facilities and the atmosphere. Most welcoming.

Cathy Czuma

Rather a dead place, but excellent homeopathic store.

Shad Bastarche

This is the best gym in London if you get the plus membership. Plus membership includes a private change room with steam room, sauna, jet tube, towel service and private cardio and workout area.

Paul Stoyles

Used to really enjoy the ymca. But the handling of the pandemic by this gym has been absolutely horrible

Mary Caruana

My daughter is progressing lots in her swimming courses. Just turned 5. Swimmer 1 course

Catherine Morrisey

Alex Brown

JD Tremblay

Clean gym. Friendly staff.

Nahren Boulos

I'm pleased with this facility!! Everybody is so nice. I'm an adult, who didn't know how to swim,, but a big thank you to Maddy, she taught me from scratch!! Also, all the lifeguard team was great (Logan and Ethan) super friendly staff. Definitely recommend this facility!!

Luis Patricio

YMCA staff is always friendly and helpful. Great way to keep with a regular physical activity in a safe and welcoming environment.

Josh Williams

I absolutely love this Fitness Center. It is more like a fitness community in my eyes. There is so much to do and get involved in here. It is suitable for all ages young or old alike there is something here for you. I have been a member for …
