I gave one star because of poor communication. I reached out to the Y two weeks ago for child care and was told that someone would give me a call. After a week passed i stopped in physically to inquire and talk to someone and was told “the child care person was on the line and couldn’t come talk to me” number was taken down for someone to reach out and a week later still no correspondence.

The facility itself is great. Our family has trans folks in it and we felt really uncomfortable there most of the time. Actively misgendered every time we came in. It was so uncomfortable even in the family locker room my kids no longer wanted to swim there. We got stuck paying for an extra month because of their 30 day policy so be careful about that. The staff didnt seem concerned about the transphobia, was told they cant control other patrons. Not a safe place for queer or trans families.

CUSTOMER SERVICE:Terrific staff thats friendly and courteous! Its like one big family or a meeting place for neighbors here, its awesome.ATMOSPHERE:Has all that you need. The staff does a decent job in keeping the equipment updated, along with new equipment. The only area improvement thats lacking would be the aesthetic appearance of the entire facility in terms of the walls and TVs, the hallways and locker room generally resemble those found in an elementary or junior high school.Overall, while the appearance of the facilities is a bit outdated, its got all the necessary resources you need for fitness. The staff are fantastic people. Im definitely glad to have this as my go to gym!

My Mother-in-law and I stopped by and registered as Silver Sneakers members. The Staff were very courteous and helpful in getting through the process of obtaining our informed consent plus obtaining our demographic information. They also provided a Welcome package with schedules for various Senior-related activities.

I was able to get some basic info. Not the things I wanted to find. Their website was not that easy to use.

Don’t trust the website or phone for gym or pool hours...its often wrong. Call the front desk every time you go and make sure it’s open before you waste your time and go over there to find it’s closed when the website and phone say it’s open.

Ive been a member there for going on a year now people the staff are all nice bathroom and locker rooms are clean a lot of variety of classes you can take in the morning. Be best to download the app to keep up with the changes between summertime and wintertime hours.

Made some gains here. Still increasing. Copacetic. Everyone knows each other here which is nice in a smaller gym.

This is my local y! Theres a thousand reasons why its always better to be at your Y then at your other Big Chain fitness center like LA Fitness or Planet Fitness or whatever. But really the biggest thing that separates it from those other experiences is the fact that it is community-based. Seeing the kids running around from their after-school programs and Daycare Two organizations having meetings there for seniors theres always something that makes it feel like youre in the right place when you go to the YMCA.

The Roxborough YMCA has a definite family-oriented feel to it that you will recognize as soon as you step in the door. This, combined with the friendly staff committed to the community at the location, creates an atmosphere that you wont get somewhere that functions simply as a gym, like Planet Fitness. However, it can also cause issues; especially during the summer, some of the Ys nicest assets, such as the indoor swimming pool and basketball court, are completely taken over for the majority of the day by the kids who go to camp there. For this reason, the extra money for membership as compared to some of the cheaper options in the community may not be worth it if you are simply looking for a way to stay in shape.

One of the main reasons I love to come here is because of the incredibly friendly staff especially the child watch crew. They really know how make your kids feel comfortable and at ease. The facility itself is also very clean. Every time I come there is someone cleaning the bathroom, the gym, the halls etc. My family and I love it here and looks forward to coming almost daily!

My wife and I signed up for this so we could take our one year old for swimming lessons. He has since also gone to tumbling as well as dance class. The child watch is excellent for being able to get bring your kid with you while you work out. The staff really care and get to know him personally. I just wish they had child watch hours all day.

Offers independent, w/trainer, individual, and group exercising and classes as well as, Olympic size swimming pool, basketball court, gymnasium, daycare full-time or while you work out, pre-K accredited and in conjunction with SD of PHL. Truly one of the best YMCA facilities around with a broad and diverse set of programs. Membership required for participation in most programs.

Theres plenty of parking. A lot of activities but its smaller than the Y I usually go to.This one only has 1 pool. It was divided into three lanes. Two were used for lap swimmers & the third section was for everyone else. Which was OK but 10 people package to one side of the pool made it difficult to enjoy oneself.Then the pool closed at 6:00 of 6:30 and the lifeguards (who spend more time talking than watching the swimmers) said rudely yall gotta get out the pools closed there was no signage nor announcement prior to him saying it the way he did.Eh, well stick to our Y.

Just saw some controlling font desk people loudly kick a kid out of the building who was literally just sitting on his phone in the lobby. Its freezing outside and I gaurentee no one was complaining about him. Gives a bad taste to see such petty drama at a place that should be concerned with the well being of people.

I dont like the Roxborough YMCA because they tried to say that you have to sign up with Roxborough just to bring someone with you to work out when the rest of the wise just let you bring someone and enjoy your day and your workout
