YMCA at Glen Cove

"Wouldn’t recommend doing business with this establishment, especially considering they will try and take your employees and hire them behind your back . Making it extremely hard for small business owners to stay in business. Pertaining to a YMCA contractor it’s an absolute nightmare , a joke , the only reason as to why they even are in business is because they take from SMALLER BUSINESS. Save yourself the hassle, the trouble, the headache and stress and this place is super unprofessional."

"Don’t do business with this YMCA AS A CONTRACTOR THEY WILL STEAL YOUR EMPLOYEES VERY DETRIMENTAL FOR SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS TO STAY IN BUSINESS IF YMCA TAKES YOUR TALENT STEPPING THIER BIG FEET ON THE LIL GUYS BACK IS HOW THEY STAY IN BUSINESS, I AM NOT A HIRING AGENCY YOU DON’T RETAIN MY EMPLOYEES THAT I INTERVIEW AND TRAIN FOR YOUR OWN PERSONAL GAIN, CANT AFFORD THE CONTRACT HIRE YOUR OWN PEOPLE"

"Pros: The staff are friendly. Lots of parking. Cons: Expensive for the quality, in all honesty. The weight room and cardio room are in the basement of the building, and have a dingy feel. The equipment is fair enough. It's across from a high school, so outside of school hours it's often busy, and flooded with high school kids, which can make your workout experience annoying and cramped. Not the YMCA's fault, just a product of their location. My biggest gripe was the issue with cancelation. I left the area in May, and inquired about canceling my membership with the front desk. The woman at the desk told me to email online, as the membership director wasn't in. No problem, I emailed the address ASAP. I moved, and traveled for four months. Upon return, I noticed that my account had still been billed for June, July, August, September, and October. After two weeks of trying to contact the Membership Director, I finally got a hold of him. He canceled my membership immediately, but said he can only refund me two months. "It's on our guests to make sure they're checking their statements". Left a bad taste in my mouth. I know it's not this guys' fault, and he probably can't get approval to refund beyond two months, and I'm certainly not the "speak with your manager" type. It was just frustrating that I did what the front desk asked, and my email was received and I suppose, ignored, and now I have to foot the bill for $240-worth of membership fees because I wasn't checking. I will most likely pursue this remaining $240 that I paid, but I know it won't be easy. All in all, if you live nearby, it's an alright place. If you like pickup hoops, there's good runs on Tuesday nights with some solid guys. If you like to workout, try and go on your lunch breaks. Unless you like bumping elbows with 80+ high schoolers, with only half of them-or-so actually working out. I don't live on Long Island, I just worked out there, but I go to a place in the city with better amenities, and better space, for $20 a month. About 25% the cost. The cancellation piece is just a fair warning of the practice and care for clients. Two stars because all the staff were friendly!"

"This review is for the indoor pool only. I am the type of person whom Jim Gaffigan would kill. Because no matter what I get up at 5am daily and go swimming religiously. And don't give me wrong I do love McDonald's too. Lol! Despite there has been often lifeguard stability issue, the indoor pool has been providing much pleasure and benefits for me and countless others. The water quality and temperature have been maintained very well at most of the times. If they occasionally fall short, the management would adjust soon as they get emails or verbal messages from members. Yes, I have to admit we are a bunch of pool snubs. Lol! Thank you the management team for spoiling us. Even during the Covid time, you tried very hard to keep the faculty, all classes and pool functioning fairly smoothly. I heart my YMCA. The best Y in the entire NYS."

"In the hall where the classes : yoga and sport classes very dirty floor! The second room where the equipment is stored is very dirty!! The floor is still dirty : lumps of hair,hair every where near the walls,the floor is old and dirty! The flood is rotten and broken for 2 years, no one is fixing it. At the coach,there is a cabinet with way,there are hairballs and dirty! Why should I breathe this dirt for my money? I go for health! There's dirt and bacteria everywhere"
