Valley Shore YMCA

"Great place and the best investment I’ve ever made in my health and wellbeing."

"Ok so today while visiting with my kiddos my 13 year old daughter was mistaken to be a male and was asked to use the mens locker room! after me having to clarify she was biologically a female we went off to the pool…this was when I was upset. While teaching my 8 year old and 3 year old how to swim a nasty swim instructor snapped at my child for back stroking into her area accidentally. After this experience seeing behind the scenes the true character of swim instructors at this Y I will sign my kids up elsewhere. I’m hoping this was just a bad day and not racially motivated treatment towards my children. I’ll return to use the gym but as far as my kids I definitely do not feel they are welcomed at this facility!"

"People are using their phones in the men's locker room, complained to the front desk and was told they can't enforce the posted rule. That's a poor excuse if you use your phone you should lose membership. Its bad enough you let people sit on the equipment and play with their phones. That said the new fitness center great."

"We recently renewed our membership after not having one for a couple of years. The facility changed dramatically, for the better. Bran new fitness center with updated machines. Nice layout. I only knocked my review down one star because they do not have childcare options in the afternoon/night like they used to. That really was an asset the YMCA offered, As working parents had the opportunity to put their kids in a safe and fun environment while they used the fitness center, and concentrated on their health. I was bummed (along with other members i have spoken to) I have to highlight the exceptional service we got from the receptionist, Sue. She Was extremely helpful, And I praised her on her ability to multitask while answering phones and helping in-person costumers. She was slammed, however, Answered all of my questions and manually helped me register my children for programs and restart my membership, along with MULTIPLE additional tasks i needed assistance on (i swear i am technology challenged!) Way to go Sue & to thank you for the great service experience at the Y! Brittany Fosque"
