State College YMCA

First of all they are very rude. Second of all it is always dirty. Finally they do not consult properly and explain all the rules. They barely open their mouth and instead offer a paper to sign. Very unprofessional, unfriendly, and completely inefficient. It’s honestly unbelievable how bad the service is.

I'm sure you can find a gym with newer equipment, better classes and more amenities... But here's your bottom line: its adequate and supports a wide range of needs. The place is never too crowded, the equipment is good enough, it's got a lap pool and a therapy pool, it's got classes, tons of activities (including basketball courts and outdoor hockey rink) and it's got child care, all at a pretty good price. The North club might have better equipment but it doesn't have child watch or a lap pool. Fitology might have better classes but it doesn't have the weight room and pools. ... I've left to try other gyms a bunch of times but I always come back.

No padded weight plates or padded platforms for Olympic style lifts. Overall basic gym that gets the job done.

They are so bad at managing. They could at least send email when charging money from your account. They do not consult well and listen well.

I'm really let down by what I've seen at the child watch. While some staff members are genuinely caring and attentive to the kids, others just sit there, glued to their phones, completely ignoring the children. This inconsistency in care is really concerning. They have this rule where parents can only stay for five minutes, and I can’t help but feel it’s so we don’t see what’s really going on. I get that the program is free, but does that mean some staff feel it’s okay to just play on their phones instead of watching the kids? It’s really not what you’d expect from a place that’s supposed to be safe and nurturing for our little ones. There are some really mean ladies there.
