😐 If this branch had better hours it would be 5 star. It opens late (so I can't go before work), closes in the middle of the day weekdays, is closed Sunday and has limited Sat hours. I would just go to another branch, but I prefer this one because of open air section and all the outdoor equipment. For... People often mention hours, YMCA,

For people (of which I imagine there are many) who prefer this healthier option it is very disappointing.

    I love the gym and it’s typically very low key. I work from home and would love if it was open from 1-3 that’s the only reason it’s a 3 star. It would be a 5 if it wasn’t for the limited hours They changed it back to normal hours!

    EXTENT YOUR HOURS, please!! I am from Point Loma, a member of this Y for over two decades. And I would love to be proud of it and use it more often!! But I am sad to see that "our" local Y is not trying to serve those who have a job! Sundays are closed and Saturdays are opened till 3 PM, weekdays closes at 8 PM... What a shame! I can overlook that the public swimming hours being so very much limited in the late afternoons, I can tolerate the not always clean and old locker rooms, as this Y is really low key and that is what makes it nice. I appreciate this Y classes — some are extraordinary (e.g. HIT Wednesday at 5.15PM with Diana Riggs, one of the biggest assets to the Y as she is not only an excellent coach but unconditionally devoted to the Y). But to see NO EFFORT to put the hours to pre-covid time shows a lack of ability to lead an organization effectively. And the monthly fees are the same for many less hours of operation. But that is the least problem. I hope someone capable will come soon with a plan to reopen the Y with more convenient hours.

    I liked the pool and equipment, but I really wasn't a fan of the group shower room the women's locker room has going on. It looked like it had not been cleaned in a while. Also the showers don't have much pressure.

    I have a hard time with this review. This is my local YMCA and they have provided me and my family a lifeline of amazing services. This is also the VERY first time I have had a YMCA membership and I have gone all out. We use them for after school daycare the YMCA system for Summer/Winter Camps, soccer, swim lessons and would even use our membership if they were connected to the YMCA of the Rockies which they aren’t unfortunately. Nevertheless the 3 stars are for the following reason. The facility is arguably the most run down and least updated in the entire region. Somewhat neglected. Also, I was incredibly disappointed with the soccer program as it was haphazardly run, the field is neglected and the coaches seemed disorganized. We won’t be returning for soccer. We signed our son up for swim lessons and those are great. Great staff and facilities. However, it is absolute torture as a parent to be poolside. They are always running workout classes that blare music really loudly nearby. And today for example there was a teenage/preteen class that had about 20 kids screaming at the top of their lungs. My sons coach couldn’t even instruct over the 90 dB noises. It was my idea of hell. Overall the staff are 5 stars Character Builders is 5 stars. I love their services and ethos and will continue to use them. I just hope the little things can be addressed. Update November 2023. Reduced to two stars from three due to our ultimate wholesale cancellation of our YMCA membership. They failed to provide adequate push in support for our son and ultimately failed to be able to support us as a family for day care. The manner in which we lost our daycare was also very inconsiderate to the imposition it placed upon my family. After paying for 3 months of Character Builders and not using a single day we were denied services after only using it for one day. Don’t rely on this YMCA if you have a child with special needs. I conversely found the opposite at Toby Wells. They at least were good about providing push in support.

    Awesome staff: really friendly and helpful. Facility has all kinds of workout equipment too: I like the focus on more functional equipment rather than just machines. Outdoor areas are a nice perk. Hours could be a bit better on weekends.

    Great spot. Quiet in the mornings. Has dumbbells and barbells first thing when you walk in, then machines and treadmills further inside. Pool access looks great, I've never tried it Quiet and friendly staff
