North Canton Community Building YMCA

"I love the Y, and I love this Y too. I think this one is the swankiest one I've been to. I dropped Anytime Fitness and paid only $5 more for Stark County's Y. Anytime Fitness objectively doesn't have a pool, sauna, steam room, a gym, lessons for your kids, watch your kids, etc. The Y is the best gym membership you can get. You can play racquetball here if you want, probably set up pickleball somewhere. There is just so much and it's $5 more than AnyTime Fitness which is just a gym room with trainers. The staff is friendly, they call you back when you call, they genuinely seem happy and friendly. Never had a billing issue, and for Stark county, I do think this one is the gold standard. When you read bad reviews, they are a bit particular and even a bit petty. When you have services, all that I listed above and all that I am forgetting, and the price is reasonable, something is bound to be imperfect to someone."

"There are pros and cons to any gym/YMCA. For some reason they like to keep the locker rooms as freezing as possible. So much so that we had to stop swimming here as soon as summer ended. They can't seem to keep staff for the pool so we keep getting excuses as to why our son can't have a swim test done. Most people do not clean equipment after they are done with it. No one does anything about it. We do like the child watch staff. Our daughter enjoys going there. There are tons of cardio machines and little else unfortunately. It seems to be clean for the most part thankfully. It's definitely not the best one I have been to. For as much as you pay for a membership it's kinda not worth it. Especially with the pool situation."

"I’ve been going to the North Canton YMCA for nearly 5 years. Every time I visit it’s a positive experience. The staff are professional, polite and always very attentive and helpful. The equipment is always in good condition and kept clean. I no longer live as close to this location and have one closer but still frequently visit because it just feels like home."

"They have a wide variety of exercise machines. They offer financing for those who need it. They have trained staff and personal trainers. They offer a variety of exercise programs for everyone. They have personal trainers for a extra fee who provide one on one training. They also have a swimming pool, steam room and sauna. The pool is available now. However, the jacuzzi is not working yet. They offer child care for parents with young children. Members can rent a locker but many are free though. There is a basketball court with a padded walking track above it."

"This is a very nice YMCA. However, when I walked in, a few areas were closed due to a flood including the pool, spa and racquetball courts. Very bummed. Hope it reopens soon and I will come back. Staff is nice. But since I’m from Medina County and not Stark, I had to tell them I’m visiting from another county. Took a lot more time than expected. Heads up, if any of you guys go to a YMCA that isn’t your local YMCA, unfortunately you have to tell the front desk that you are visiting another YMCA from a different county. They have a different sign in screen on their computers for that. More positive things about this YMCA, the locker rooms and showers are extremely clean and huge. Changing rooms are clean and organized. The whole facility is well kept. Gymnasium is huge, restrooms are clean. They also have a game room which is huge and very fun. They also have a variety of both men and boys locker rooms which means, men’s locker rooms are for 18 years or older and the boys locker rooms would be for any boy under the age of 18. That’s cool. I just want to see the pool, spa, and racquetball courts reopened soon"
