Broadway YMCA | Staten Island — Local services in New York

Great place for working out and family time!

Don't listen to the Bad reviews. These people don't know how good they have it.

Reasons why it's great:

1. Need an hour or two to workout and get you class on, than this is the place to do it. This YMCY has a clean new play room for kids to play with toys. Have art activity and be supervised by two teachers.
2. Abundance of kid friendly programs. Ballet, Swim with teacher class.(The swim with parents class was removed because kids were not trying since a lot of parents are overprotective. Myself being one. Not a Big deal. Their instrtors are more than capable to teach my kid.)
3. Holloween, Easter egg hunt, Christmas 2 hour drop off. This place is nothing if not fun for the kids. Aspecially for Holliday shopping. Drop off the kids and you can run to the mall for gift shopping. Hurray!
4. Classes for adults are in abondance. Spin class, step class, yoga, Zumba to name a few.
5. Enough exercise room equipment to last you a life time. With fitness coaches available to help you with your work out.

In short, this is a great place to keep healthy and work out. Don't believe me, drop by their front desk and ask to look at the available programs and schedule of classes.

And don't complain that you have to wait outside while your kid is learning to swim. It is not an...

Clean environment. Staff is kind and polite. Locker room areas are basic. We purchased a family pass two months back with the hopes of getting some time in the gymnasium for basketball with our 4 and 7 year old. Both gymnasiums are always full with senior pickleball players. When their is free gym, it's usually half a court and regardless it's always swarmed with teens and young men in their early twenties.

Pool is nice but again family swim time on the weekend is related to 1 -1/2 hour windows.

I joined to help get my family and kids exercise. When the courts were full I asked the staff if their was at least a room with desk where my kids can sit and color or do anything while we swap watching them and at least we get exercise and they didn't even have that.

If you have a family with older kids or are single, this is definitely a good option. If you have a family with young kiddos skip on the family pass. Unfortunately theirs nothing...

This gym sucks. Nothing wrong with the gym area itself, besides being a bit small, but the issue is with the etiquette of the other members and especially in the women’s locker room, where moms let their kids run loose screaming and playing tag. People dripping wet from the pool going into the sauna (which usually is 160° if you’re lucky, rather than standard 180°) and nude old ladies with their bare @sses on the wood. It’s absolutely uncivilized and undermaintained in there. There’s duct tape on the lights and the benches by the lockers are ripped. The air vents are so dusty and the tile is gross. This makes it not worth it to have a membership there, if you’re a young adult who’s not a screaming kid or a nudist old lady, this place is...
