Long Island City YMCA

I have been a member of this gym for a while and I said no more! There is no supervision of children in the weight and machine area, as well as no supervision of older people using these machines. The air conditioning is horrible, you never feel it, it is so uncomfortable to exercise in the heat. The bathrooms look old and dirty. There are machines that have been damaged for a long time and they do not fix them. To clean your machine, the times are that you do not get the paper to clean. Pay $80 for a membership to this gym, for much less you can get something better. It is a disappointment to be a member of this gym and see how decadent and little attention is paid to the infrastructure.

I recently got a membership for the L.I.C. YMCA and so far it has been a great experience! The staff and members are very friendly. Its a very nice atmosphere and located in a convenient location. Also has a parking lot, I never had issues finding parking.(its an extra fee with the membership but worth it) Tho alot of people join the YMCA, its not extremely crowded. The pool is spacious and well maintained, the locker rooms are clean. I mainly joined the Y to have access to a pool year round and happy I found a nice pool to go to not too far from my home and job.

I had a terrible experience at the YMCA. The staff is beyond unfriendly — it’s like they go out of their way to be rude. Every interaction felt like I was inconveniencing them, and they made no effort to help or be welcoming. It’s honestly baffling how they work in a customer-facing environment. From the front desk , the attitude is the same: uninterested, dismissive, and occasionally downright hostile. It’s not just one bad day either — I’ve been there multiple times, hoping it would get better, but nope. If you’re looking for a place where you feel comfortable and supported, avoid this YMCA. There are better gyms where the staff actually cares about their members.

My kids just came back from teen swim and they were harassed by a lifeguard who is hispanic mid 40’s with mustache. Told my 17 year old daughter she is 30 and a grown women who can’t be in the pool for teen swim. She told him she can show her permit that shows she is underage and can be in the pool. And then proceeded to tell her no and then told my 15 year old son that he looks 25. And only talked to them in Spanish when they were talking to him in English. This happened on 06/06/24. Also there is people who dress inappropriately at the gym but the workers dont say nothing. This man is wearing boxers to workout to the gym where there are a kids!!!!!

I signed up the whole family and took swim lessons. I had a good experience in terms of the gym. Great gym to work out in. Especially appreciate the indoor track there. Unless you are willing to pay for parking the parking is hard but otherwise good experience here
