Silver Spring YMCA

This review is for the summer camp, as I'm not a member of the actual facility. I highly recommend the Y Summer Camp program, particularly the aquatics sessions. My daughter has a blast every day, and her swimming has improved through the experience. Chiquita, the camp director, and all of her team are compassionate and organized, and the camp itself is very well-run.

Max (personal trainer) rules. He has such a nice way about him, feels like a friendly cousin. I’ve never been interested in personal training at all. In a relatively short amount of time he really made my muscles burn and I left feeling exhausted and fantastic. The gym is pretty good. They have a lot of stuff. It’s expensive IMO, but I feel good about the Y as an organization so I prefer to go here than a cheaper private gym. That said, I’d prefer an option where I pay less a month and don’t have pool or class access since I never use the pools or classes anyway.

I go to this YMCA for private swim lessons for my daughter just because I like our instructor. Otherwise, I would use this crumbling facility. The building is very old and it is very poorly maintained. Recently, on multiple weekends, there was no hot water in the locker rooms. The hair dryer in the family room has been out of service since at least June 2018, and I have reported it so many times, but nobody bothers to take care of it.

Nice pool area but the rest of the facility is very dated and rundown. Swimming instruction can be hit or miss here. Plenty of parking compared to other locations in DC.

Did a tour and fell 💯 in ❤️ w/ the facility! I challenge anyone 2 find 2 heated pools (inside/outside) in the DMW 🤣 will be doing Aquatic Summer Camp and can't wait 4 yoga and zumba! Our new home away from home 🥳😎❤️
