Reviews of Oshawa YMCA (Gym)

D B

Used to have a more sane price structure. No more early morning yoga classes. Family membership no longer make any sense. Hopefully they'll change.

Clean and full of fun activities, staff is great and it’s perfect for all ages

Ethan Ferjo

This is the best place to work-out or play basketball or volleyball I love it here

Adam White

I want to go to the Y.M.C.A. I feel energized every time I'm in the building and staff show a lot of care.

Dakota Leahy

The child care facility here is great, wish they had some more updated toys, but its hard for them im sure! Lots of programs to access here, never have problems finding parking when i come here, although i hear some people do, may just have the luck!!

Amanda Judge

Very open and big. Great space. Indoor track. Yoga classes daily. I love it! I like the people there too. Great staff and not like other gyms.

Greta Woodcock

Lifeguard refused my 8 yr old gr daughters swim test from the big pool on saturday after the same guy passed her a month ago,, and she's passed 3 other swim to survive tests in other municipalities including her grade 3 swim to survive test. Something to do with her style, i was under the impression it's "swim to survive" not swim for style, obviously won't be back and Def won't recommend.

I was never humiliated before with the Morning lady that works there. I was never told i needed and ID and she refused me entry because i believe i was colored. She had my membership card and also i was there the morning before and she walked me out because i had no picture ID. I was treated so unfairly and i can't believe that a YMCA would treat people like that. I will never register a family there because of her.

Pamela Kerr

Beautiful and full of diverse people.

Julia Pak

I attend regularly.

Brittney Ward

A little disappointed in the customer service I received when I came to register for the gym. I called ahead of time to confirm what documents I would need. The lady on the phone said all I need is 2 pay stubs and ID. I showed up with everything above and the girl at the front desk said it's not enough and was fairly rude with the way she was "explaining" how they run business. Waste of time.

Gord Letke

Kevin Barton

Since I was a kid in the 80s, I found this to be a problem for me since I am a special needs person. Those counselors are not something I shall tolerate nor do those boys made such uncalled abusive and threatening statements not knowing when to stay away from me. Since I am very displeased over this matter since the 80s as a kid, it is as worst I ever had in my entire life. Please protect all special needs kids over this!

Paul Schaedlich

Been going to the Durham YMCA for about 5 years. Great programs for kids and adults as well as a good place to make new friends!

I drop my kids there and they come home happy I think the staff are excellent however it's hard for some people to adjust to some environment because of there expectations but life have its challenges so my advice is treat other's the way you would wanted to be treated a little respect could go a long way be positive at all times.

Rj Jake

Great place!!!

It's ok here... But... Family Membership should include kids programs. The membership prices are already expensive enough. This place seems to be a ghost town compared to how it used to be... Looks like they have been losing a lot of members over the last year... Perhaps the ex-members have moved to other facilities where they are getting better value for their money??? The gym upstairs is decent enough. The pool is great - nice and warm. They have a climbing wall which is always closed except for Saturdays... Maybe open it so people can use it? The staff seem to be mostly friendly and try to be helpful. The Change room showers barely work and there is almost no water pressure... Can this be fixed, it's been like this for years...

Ryan Hawkins

Clean and staff is very helpful and friendly. I’m a teen and enjoy all the programs they offer here.

Daphine Duffy

Keeps me grounded. Physically and emotionally.

Darren Leung

I have been here since 2006, and what can i say? It's amazing.

Ryan Reeson

Great member the community. The Y has programs for families of all sizes, including 1.

Dianna Hendriks

Personal trainers are great and it's good that kids and parents can go at the same time. Not impressed however that fees just keep going up and up. I pay a membership fees and now they also want to charge per kids drop in program. Very unhappy. Supposed to be a family community centre and now it's to expensive for average families to attend. Such a shame.

Sadhana Thomas

its great and nice pool;)

Mohammad Sohail

It has all the fitness programs.

Sent my daughter here for one week of summer camp. Was $300 a week and only could afford one week, which is for obvious reasons, 300 a week!!! she was SO excited to go as she had not been out with kids since march! She has a stuffy nose in the morning which is normal for her, and on going which resolves in a hour after waking. They would not let her go inside. I understand Covid measures but this is ridiculous, I guess kids with any allergies are screwed, even though the symptoms state "unexplained new cold like symptoms" which hers are NOT.. I even spoke to my doctor and she said she agreed its ridiculous! Will NOT be returning. Did not even receive any sort of extra week or refund!

The family packs really should include kids classes, and staff at the front desk need be well versed in program requirements prior to calling memberships and or services. I was sold a summer family membership so as to take advantage of some mom n tot swim classes etc. Only to find out after my money had been taken that A. My infant was still to young and B. The classes would have to be paid for separately. I felt lied to and robbed as the person whom sold me membership knew my intentions and reasons for getting said membership in the first place. I will not be returning.

Randy MacFarland

Too expensive considering 85% if the classes are taught by volunteers. I went to the Y for more that 5 years and price kept going up and up. When I finally quite it was $55 a month. I went to a better gym for $40. I heard the fired all the older staff (ones that actually knew what they were doing) and hired a bunch of young kids to replace them to save costs but for what they were charging I couldn't believe it. No wonder that place was a ghost town on Monday nights when it used to be packed.

Jamie B

Too many etiquette rules broken and nothing done. Used to be a nice family facility. Not anymore. Not a suitable place for people with traumatic brain injuries, PTSD, on the autism spectrum and various other mental illnesses. Too many people dropping/slamming weights. I suffered from a TBI and the repeated dropping and slamming of weights causes anxiety/panic attacks. Was told by management that with my issues it would be better I find another place.

The YMCA is okay

alexander max
