    Visited today with my kids for them to try out rock climbing. A massive thank you to Briany who showed them the ropes. They couldn't ask for a better teacher. They are very keen to come again if you end up having regular weekend sessions. Very good climbing wall for the kids

    I joined this gym 1 week ago and had my induction with Neil. He was very friendly and never made me nervous at all and gave me a workout for what I wanted rather then what I need. I have been to gyms before and have felt uncomfortable but here at the YMCA it’s so relaxed and not intimidated at all. All staff are very friendly and welcoming .

    All the staff are really friendly and helpful and the people I have met have been nice too. I wasn't sure how the classes would match up to what I had been doing but they're difficult which is good and the spinning offers something different to what I've done previously. Plus, super convenient!

    I have nothing but praise for the fabulous work that the YMCA team do. They are so aware of the needs of the young people who attend. Lots of variety for the children. They are welcoming and friendly and I am always given an update on how he has been. They also take security seriously making sure everyone is signed in and out. My biggest problem is getting my young man to leave. Thank you guys.

    The children had lots of fun! Adults were able to sit and enjoy a catch up knowing the kids were safe and having fun. Perfect size with lots to see and do. The table service was quick and easy for drink orders. We will definitely be coming back.

    This is a review for the new soft play. Went last week with my 3 year old and baby. Absolutely fantastic, my eldest was able to play on her own whilst I watch her and my baby was able to play in the smaller soft play. Drinks delivered to the table. It maybe smaller than some soft plays but this is definitely our new favourite, also a lot cheaper than other soft plays in the area. Highly recommend.

    Soft play for the under 7s is fantastic. Everytime we have used the facilities they are always clean, tidy and ready to use. You can order coffee, tea or a selection of food items delivered to your table whilst still enjoying the soft play. 10/10

    I've been going to this gym for a while now and really like many aspects of it, such as the quality of the equipment and the friendly staff. However, there are a few points that I have noticed that I would like to address. Firstly, it doesn't seem to be a common practice here to use towels. Instead, members are encouraged to sanitise the equipment after use. This leads to a huge amount of waste, mainly from the paper used, which shocked me. At a time when we should all be trying to live more environmentally conscious lives, I find this practice quite concerning and in absolute need of reform. A simple towel would make it way more efficient. Secondly, I also have to criticise the cleanliness of the women's toilets. They are often in a poor state and the lack of toilet brushes makes it difficult to improve this situation. It is really surprising that such a basic hygiene tool is missing and I think this should be addressed urgently.

    I'm 75yrs old and I have attended the YMCA gym for many years. It is a great gym with a friendly atmosphere. Bryony the Fitness Manager will always help and put you at ease when you need help or reassuring. I can't recommend it enough.

    Visited the soft play with my 10 month old today. Absolutely loved it, the place is clean and there's an under 2's area which was great. Great system for offering food and drinks on your phone which are brought down from upstairs. Great baby changing and toilet facilities and super friendly staff. We'll definitely be going back.

    Spin Class. Brilliant studio. Visuals lighting and sound are superb and help you immerse yourself into the class. Before you know it, you have done 45mins. The coaches I have experienced were full of passion and drive that is so encouraging to help you get the job done. Fantastic experience

    First visit to YMCA soft play for my Granddaughter 20 month old On arrival receptionist very polite and helpful explained what and were to go. loved the safety for toddlers with the key fog.the soft play was amazing. So clean everyone is so friendly. Lillie loved it for her age. The Cafe is so reasonably clean and a bonus to be able to order and have it delivered. We take our grandchild to many soft play areas around Plymouth this is the best. L would highly recommend and definitively be back thank you Mrs S Landricombe

    We had our sons 1st birthday party here in there soft play room with bouncy castle and I couldn’t of been happier! The staff were so helpful and the room and facility is amazing kept the kids happy and playing for two hours! Couldn’t recommend enough!

    Loved having my daughter's birthday party here. The staff were so lovely throughout and checked on us now and then to make sure everything was going well. We booked two bouncy castles and the catering. All the kids loved their whole time there. The catering was a bit of a show stopper since it kept all the kids quiet after running and jumping around. There was plenty of feed for adults too. Thank you again for having us. We'll definitely be back!

    We had my sons 6th birthday party here and the hall was ready as planned with two members of staff waiting for us as we arrived to make sure we had everything we needed…. Nothing was to much trouble and they kept popping in to make sure everything was okay! We had the disco bouncy castle and the slide and it was a good choice. Definitely recommend having a party here to anyone.

    Went for an induction and had a personal plan put together for my personal needs completely for free. Monthly subscription is very well prices too. The staff are brilliant, professional, friendly and very willing to help with any assistance or questions. The gym itself is absolutely top of the range, it has anything you could need and more. You can even jog on a treadmill, cycle or use a cross train while watching your favourite Nerflix show. Just to top it all off, there is a fantastically set up cycle class that has 25 bikes, a cinema screen with different simulation type tracks, very cool lighting to set the mood and the best sound system I’ve ever heard. 5 ***** easy.

    Had my child's first party here. Could not fault the venue, staff were friendly. The bistro upstairs did party food boxs too and they were really good and great value for money!

    We had my daughters 7th birthday on Sunday 24th July and the staff couldn’t of been any more helpful. They came and checked we had everything! They gave me the cutting cake knife and bin bags I forgot to bring and also came and checked everything was okay at the end of the party. Really pleased with the venue and staff. Will 100% come back to have more parties here. Thankyou again

    Ocean city soft play absolutely fantastic. Great landmarks,The children loved it great value for money for the 90 minutes great choices at the cafe and you didn't even have to move from your table. Will spread the word at nursery/play group. Will definitely be revisiting. Lovely warm welcome from the receptionist and very helpful. I did ask before we left would there be an option for parents to use the gym whilst Children played in the ocean city soft play with supervision with my husband being away I find it difficult to get to the gym for physical exercise so this would be a fantastic opportunity for me.

    My wife and I booked the Studio Soft Play Party for our Sons 1st birthday party. The room was kitted out, upon arrival, with everything you would need for an early years birthday party, including bouncy castle. There were 15 under 2’s plus parents in the room and at no time did it feel cramped. Staff were at hand to help throughout and helped tidy the room at the end. I would seriously recommend this party package to anyone booking a pre-school party!

    The YMCA was recommended to me by a fellow Children's Physiotherapist as a welcoming inclusive environment and I have not been disappointed! Bryony was fantastic during our gym induction and her positive attitude made myself and my client feel extremely welcome. The space is accessible for wheelchair users to exercise; there are automatic doors to gain entry to the building and good parking facilities. The whole gym is level access from the reception area and is spacious. Some of the CV equipment is quite close together so an attendant is required to move it but this is easily done. The gym and wheelchair accessible toilet are accessed through non automatic doors so again an attendant is required. I look forward to a long and happy relationship with the YMCA. Thank you so much Bryony.

    I hired the YMCA half hall for 3 hours, and then hired my own inflatables through a separate company. The hall was clean, affordable and the staff were very friendly and provided me with chairs and tables to use. My son and his friends had a wonderful time celebrating his birthday! Will happily use again and recommend to others.
