    I was so happy when I heard that the YMCA was starting to operate again. Imagine my disappointment when I noticed that because of a crisis, they have jacked up the prices in order to compensate the time and money lost. Dear YMCA officials, you are not the only ones who lost money! You have proven that you are only trying to use the rules of "supply and demand" when you were once known as a family friendly organization. For this reason I can only send one out of four family members to your programs and have appointed the rest of my family to other gyms. After looking at your present family programs, gone are the days that they made sense.I am only looking for what you were best known for when we were members for 4 years using all of your facilities at family friendly prices.

    We were firm supporters of the YMCA. My entire family would use their facilities. My children did the swim and Taekwindo programmes. Unfortunately after covid things changed... prices have been hiked up and each programme is not cost effective anymore. The YMCA was our family oasis... now we just drive by.

    A great location for vaccinating locals. Lots of parking, reasonably easy access. As it gets colder I would recommend increasing the area for people to stand in a more protected area. Also maybe on the appointment confirmation HIGHLIGHT NOT TO ARRIVE ANY MORE THAN 10 MINUTES BEFORE THE SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT TIME!

    my son is suffering from gastrointertitis after back from the March break camp of YMCA, the camp was actually fun, the only issue that is the Wednesday night’s dinner of drumstick was raw with blood. Many kids complained of that during camp time. i hope it could get improved after that.

    I'd love to give them 5 stars because the facilities are amazing! Clean, well maintained. But customer service is really lacking when you need any program- specific support, and front desk is not trained to answer questions beyond membership and hours. Via website, you can find the contact info of the department you need to reach, but it will always go to the answering machine, and you're lucky if it's not full. E-mailing them is also a hit or miss, they may or not reply. Registration to their swimming program could use some re-structuring as everything is centralized with one person (Nadya) who happens to not be very accessible or friendly. This person needs to give your account access to visualizing the swimming programs available for your profile and open for you to register at that timeslot. Unfortunately you can't register online, or make modifications to your account online (such as change the swimming class day or time). We also found an error on the YMCA program schedule, which hasn't been corrected and front desk wasn't able to confirm the schedule info until we showed up at the scheduled time and instructor was not there, so front desk reached out to program responsible to confirm it was not posted correctly. In summary: great facility and great potential, but very poor execution. The community needs this kind of program, it would be amazing if service could be improved.

    I have been a member here for about 7 years now and I got to say it is a great place. The staff are amazing and kind each day and there are different things to do like working out upstairs, playing basketball at the court and swimming.

    It’s probably the worst community places I have ever been. My daughter went for swimming lessons for 2 years, and frequent change of instructor, no learning plan, feedback. No accountability whatsoever for the place. On top of that the customer service desk showed attitude even if their administration is at fault for not informing for cancelled class, closed pool etc. how can you expect praise without really doing anything good - having a nice building is only aspect of it. I think I just had enough so cancelled everything. Even if it means paying bit more to someone who knows what they are doing… thanks YMCA for giving away business.

    From the moment I walked in, I felt a genuine sense of warmth and dedication from the staff that sets this place apart. Miguel is very kind and professional. He helped me with my registration. The gym is equipped with top-notch, modern exercise equipment that caters to all fitness levels. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned athlete, you'll find everything you need for a comprehensive workout.

    This is a modern facility with nicer equipment than other locations however in another way it didn't feel as welcoming as other Ys I've visited. Being that I also use another gym company I've used my key fob at several locations without issue. At this location they request photo ID which I haven't experienced at other locations. Then when you enter the actual gym on the upper level you have to scan in again which feels redundant and pointless as you've already entered the facility and likely locked away your card in your locker. The change rooms were clean and were being cleaned while I was there. I may consider visiting this location in the future but the jury is out.

    Poorly designed website. Spent 20m navigating and still couldnt figure out if there is a gym, the amenities or the rates. its just programs programs programs. After finally getting ahold of someone. 22$...... extra just for hottub and sauna use. Someone needs to go back to buisness school. Unless you enjoy being scammed avoid this place. Pool and pool amenities are suppose to be included as one. Never seen any facility so poorly managed.

    A true family (and budget!) friendly place. Very clean and well maintained. The staff is well informed and always eager to help. They have a wide variety of activities for you to choose to stay fit and healthy. Sometimes can be a bit crowded, but still I recommend it.

    A great space for all members of the family. An excellent aquatics program where my children attended lessons and continued with swim leadership certifications. The facility has a well staffed fitness area with a variety of resistance training and cardio equipment, free weights and numerous fitness classes. A very clean and bright space with very friendly and helpful staff. Weekend hours have been extended to accommodate members staying later on Saturdays and holidays.

    I had some sessions with Momoko (personal trainer). She is amazing! I have some back issues and she helped me focusing on fixing my problem. She is knowledgeable and really cares about her clients.

    I had a very bad expériences with their swimming lessons. My kids who were able to swim before coming, forgot how to do so while going to ymca. My youngest coach used to through him balls in the water and ask him to pick them.up even though my youngest is a swimmer, at least used to be.

    I've been attending their boxing class since the spring but just recently joined the YMCA for the weight/fitness sessions and I LOVE Mary's workouts. They are the perfect balance of strength and cardio that makes you sweat 👏. What a deal to get this kind of training for the price of the YMCA. Money well spent!

    I like this gym facility. The staff is friendly and gym is clean. They have lots of free weights and nice exercise machines. My only negative comment is that in the men's plus change room, the locker area is less than 160 square feet. It can get crowded when 6 or 7 people are changing at one time. They should consider building a bigger new plus change room since these members are paying a higher monthly gym fee and deserve a better bigger change room.

    Friendly and clean. A good family environment, just wish there were more badminton and pickleball time slots in the gym.

  • 1/5 Steve L. 1 year ago on Google
    Its unfortunate but the Management at the YMCA has really let the membership down. For months I've been hearing that they are gettting back to pre-covid hours. Still reduced hours at the Y. Covid ended folks. No more early morning workouts, they're more concerned with profits then members. If your looking for a gym that truly has their membership in mind, go elsewhere. The plus membership is also one of the most expensive in Halton.

    Beautiful and very clean place with lots of different activities. Very friendly staff that’s willing to help at any time. I will definitely recommend checking them out.

  • 5/5 Mia D. 4 years ago on Google
    Absolutely wonderful! Great staff and facility. My children love game on and family gym kids. Great value for the price. Swim lessons and child minding are included in the membership for my children. Strong by Zumba is my favourite program. I highly recommend.

    Ymca Oakville On Saturday November 18 2023, at the Ymca in Oakville on 410 Rebecca Street. I experienced the worst case of racism in my life. I was called a “security threat” and “safety concern” by a short Caucasian woman with curly hair by the name of Anne Marie. My son was playing at the newly built jungle gym, and I was sitting on the bench with my headphones on listening to music as he played by himself for approximately 2-5 minutes. Two children come into the jungle gym and started to play with my four-year-old son. One of the children had a potty accident on themselves and left the jungle gym the other child followed. My son, was playing by himself alone in the jungle gym once again. Shortly after Anne Marie walks in calls for my attention and says “Excuse me not to be rude but you need to leave, there is a birthday party that booked this room, so if you want to come back when there done you can”. My response was “why do I need to leave it’s a playroom, there’s nothing wrong with my son being there room. There’s nothing stopping the rest of the children from playing?”. Anne Marie’s immediate response was “because you’re a security threat and a safety concern none of the parents know you and I work here and you don’t and I’m telling you, you need to leave or else I can go get my manager”. I simply said “go get your manager”. The best part about this entire scenario is that my son was playing on the jungle gym, while the birthday party started to head inside the play room. The children from the birthday party and my son we’re continuing to play like kids. Then proceeded two young men, walk in to the playroom. The first young man said calmly “excuse me, but I’m going have to ask you to leave because of birthday party had booked this room”. My response was “ok not that I’m a security threat or a safety concern because that’s what the other employee” said. The other Ymca male employee’s response was “yeah actually it is a safety concern”. He begins to explain why am a safety concern and a security threat to the birthday party. As I was going back and forth with the YMCA employee on how I’m a security threat, and a safety concern the entire time, my four-year-old son, and the birthday party children who came into the jungle gym we’re playing. So finally, I agreed to leave I stopped, and I said “you know what you do me the honour of calling my four-year-old son and taking him off the jungle gym and explaining to him why he’s a security threat, and the safety concern to the other children. The two young men called to my son and told him a four-year-old that he needs to leave. My four-year-old son started hysterically, crying and didn’t understand why he needed to stop playing with the other children. I then looked at the YMCA employees. The two young men and I told them “They should be ashamed of themselves”. Then the male Ymca employee said “I’m not ashamed of myself. You guys are a safety concern to this birthday party and you need to leave. This is not the time or place”. Calling an African American woman with a child, a security threat, and a safety concern is typical targeted racist terminology to describe Black people.
