YMCA of Honolulu - Mililani Branch — Attraction in Oʻahu

This one star is based on the A+ program as I have used other programs in the past and recently. As a returning customer and school coming up, I submitted my child for the before and after school program within the first couple days of open enrollment.

8/15/2025 My doctor recommended that I join the YMCA -because of my spinal stenosis, I am unable to do normal land exercises so he suggested the pool would be good for physical activity for me. I signed up for a 1 week free trial. Big MAHALO to KiMO who gave an awesome, informative tour. The staff here are so friendly & wonderful and the facilities are great! Lots of activities, plus places to relax and take a break too. Easy to navigate the website and once you download the app, you can book for classes in a snap and even check in with your phone via barcode scan. Very convenient! Looking forward to my next visit- signed up for membership today...
