Anderson Munger Family YMCA — Attraction in Los Angeles

I’ve been the Y member since 2016 if remember correctly. I wanted to say it used to be better but …Due to my personal experience as an Asian(not Korean) in the facility, some front desk staff like to gossip which is very inappropriate not only in a workplace, but this is a Christian Association and lately they haven’t been showing any Real Christian Value. They need to stop being judgmental and looking down on anyone that different from them. Everyone should be treated equally. But nah, they pick and choose, EXTREMELY BIAS.

Also as of Sunday June 23 2024 in between the hour of 11 am to 11 40 window. I went there just to use restroom since I am a member. It was all empty in the family locker room.

This janitor that works at that date and time, had the intention to harass me by following me to the family locker room not too long after I just started to do my personal business( he saw me since I was walking into the facility because he was right there by the front desk), and acted like he needed to clean so bad. He created all these nuisances such as dragging strolling the bin and his equipment loudly into the family locker room. He was hovering around my door, had his key chains jingling as if we are in a prison. He clean that rusty moldy lockers and slammed them loudly (loud enough that it echoes in the hallway), he came by the paper towel dispenser which located by the room that I was using, and he started to whistle his music loudly and annoying. When someone is using restroom they supposed to feel unbothered, not this place. After that I finished my personal business, the yellow mop bucket was in the middle of the walkway in the locker room, as I was walking out he was just standing there at the janitor room right next to the Child Activity Center. So, I decided to walk there to the comment box and wrote down my feedback and dropped it right there where the front desk staffs could see. But guess what?, instead of him started to clean since he was waiting for me to come out of the family locker restroom. After that, he followed right behind me, as if he knew that I was writing something about his practice, the staffs should be able to see that as well unless they try to turn their cheeks. Then he stared to clean the women restroom by the front desk instead and tried to act like everything is fine. This is not the first time. This janator likes to hover around the restroom door rushing me to leave just so he can clean. It’s called RESTROOM not RUSHROOM. The funny part is that out of all the time that he could clean, he chooses to do it when I am using it, intentionally harassing me like a creep. This needs to stop. They need to retrain them. Stop just being all nice and overly friendly and act super pretentious like there’s something in the closet because there is! I want to blame the employees but the people that should take action and be responsible for incidents like this should be blamed because they are the one who hired them without throughly background checks. I don’t need to be contacted back. I just need to see some change. If possible, they should remove him from...

I am a former member of a great YMCA on Long Island. I was hesitant to join because it didn’t seem very diverse, but the front desk gave me a pass to visit at different times to see if I liked it and felt comfortable. They listened and were very kind.

Today, Friday May 2, 2025, I thought I’d see if I liked one of the YMCA’s close to home. I felt extremely uncomfortable and an unfriendly vibe from the team here. At first I spent time trying to give all my information to try to prove I was a member from almost 10 months ago in NY. While $55/month for an adult is a competitive rate for the area, it is still a monthly fee that should just come with friendliness. I had to ask for information on membership and just to highlight that they didn’t try to tell me, I asked if I can get it online. The representative said yes. She then told me I can take a picture. The staff talk more to themselves than to guests. The representative who started to help me greeted members more enthusiastically but he failed to tell me his shift was near over. I have no idea what happened to my personal information. I’m extremely disappointed.

If you are a current member and a black woman or man, it would be great to read a review about your experience. I didn’t feel welcomed and it was uncomfortable. I’m used to higher vibe gyms and YMCA’s. This one seems to only want to serve certain members of the community. The facility is nice & clean. The weight equipment seems good, there’s one platform and one rack upstairs for barbell work. If it gets crowded the weight rooms may get stuffy. I couldn’t get any info on PT programs because it just felt uncomfortable asking questions. It felt like they want you to leave. Well at least as a black person. It may differ for other people. I’m just sad this is one of the closest Y’s & the vibes...

Short Review: This place is awesome for families and fitness enthusiasts alike! I will definitely be back, and am sad it took me so long to find it.

Long Review: A family membership is $77/month.

If you are a member, you can park in there garage for 3 hours for only $1 when you validate the parking ticket.

There are three separate pools. The lap pool, a hot tub, and a kids pool. The kids pool is kept at a warmer temperature, and all of the pools are inside. There is also a sauna. Be sure to call ahead so that you know when the lap pool is open for families. They do have classes and designated times for lap swimming.

They have 2 hours of free child care with your membership! They have a lovely kids room with two teachers to look after you kids while you take a class or work out.

The locker room for the pool is well suited for families. Bring your own lock for the locker though.

There is a yoga room, cardio room, weight room, and two or three general fitness room. They have a LOT of free weights in the weight room. One of the best perks with a membership is that the classes (except swimming and Tae Kwon Do) are included in your membership. This includes yoga and other basic group classes. For those of you who like your pull ups and bars, they do have several nice chin up bars. Yes - you could master your muscle up here.

All the facilities were fairly well kept, and there were lots of staff around to look after...
