Best Gyms with Child Care/child Watch near Livingston, New-jersey

I feel bad about giving a bad review but the YMCA mgmt. has left no choice. In spite of my dozens of complaints over a 1 year period, the Cardio section is kept at very cold 60-61 degree Temperature. I have cited OSHA & IFA recommended settings of 65-68 but they fix it temporary for couple of days & someone lowers it back to marathon runners requirements. It is flu season & last thing elderly members need it to get it from YMCA’s carelessness. Most members are elderly & I see them (& some of their trainers as well) wearing winter jackets in the cardio area even during summer. Strangely, the Basketball courts & weights area upstairs are kept at 68-69 degrees, but can’t understand what is the reasoning behind keeping cardio are so cold. Reception desk cannot adjust temperature & pass on the buck to their director. Unfortunately the NYSC closed down the only other gym in our town, town residents have no choice but to join YMCA or drive to next town.

West Essex YMCA is a gem of a place. The classes and services offered here are outstanding and easily worth the monthly membership fee. I encourage everyone to look into it!!!

The Staff is great! They have great equipment and awesome classes. Their hours are very convenient too. Doesn't matter how old or young you feel, they have something for everyone!

Generally, I’m very satisfied with the Y for working out.the gym is clean and the staff is super great. I am extremely unhappy lately of stage 3 swim class, they keep packing kids into the class. Each week there are new kids, and the instructor is overwhelmed. I have been bringing my kids here since Sept - and now I’m removing them because I feel they haven’t made any progress with the lack of staff showing the proper techniques. Picture below shows huge class with one instructor.

Very bad summer camp experience for my son in the summer sprouts program. Teachers don’t answer questions or reply messages in app Staff don’t reply emails (they said they replied to me but not) Staff don’t know how to handle dependent care program reimbursement Staff/teachers have conflicting statements The activity is not aligned with what they set on the schedule
