Capital District YMCA - Southern Saratoga Branch

"Great facility with friendly staff. A lot of programs to enroll yourself and your family in!!!"

"This is a great YMCA! The cardio room and the weights area are very nice and clean. They provide spray bottles for everyone to clean their station when they are not using it. Very nice machines and all of them work perfectly. Staff members are very nice and kind. Yoga classes and Spin classes are very good and there are multiple classes to choose from every day. The pool is sometimes empty and sometimes crowded but is very nice and has lots of great things like a hot tub, sauna, steam room, and other swimming equipment to help unexperienced swimmers! They also take great care of children and my child is always happy. Lots of options for exercises and lots of different features. The classes always have equipment if you don't bring your own and all of the classes are really good and the instructors are very well qualified. Overall, amazing YMCA! The only reason I didn't give this a 5 star is because the men's locker room smells very bad."

"It is a mixed bag experience at Clifton Park YMCA. In terms of using the poll with 6~17 year old boys, it is very much unfriendly. Be specific, they make the rules that the boys will not have a proper change room and shower place. Kids are not allowed in men's locker room, with the excuse of "some one are not feeling comfortable with teenagers around in the locker room" ( as of Aug 2022). The boys locker room was close during summer time 2022. Starting from Sept 2022, they close the boys locker room from 2PM to facility close. Thus, the only way to make use of the locker room is during the school time. The excuse for closing the boys locker room is "due to some improper behaviors of young members, the locker room is closed from 2pm to...." ( Not per word exact, as of Sept 2022). It is a clear management failure. They managed in a way to punish everyone who use the locker room. If you have boys, and are planning to use the boys locker room and shower, do your self a favor to find an alternative facility if possible."

"A pretty reasonable location for a contra dance. Lots of parking, not too far to the front door. A long walk to the actual dance venue (a gym). The men's room is a long way from the venue; women have it much better. For a gym, the place has pretty good acoustics aided, luckily, by a discreetly operated sound system (which means, in this case, not so loud that a giant echo results). The lighting is good, for a gym. The floor is a bit sticky to my taste, but not badly so. Clean. I wonder whether there is a package deal available: swim, dance, and shower!"

"Realistically if your in to body building this place trumps planet fitness 100%. Sauna/steam room shaving cream on tap. olympic size swimming pool and hot tub #wouldntgointhatthingifitwasthecuretocancer Full track court and massive weight room with every machine available you could think of (besides a lat pull machine). 50 bucks a month is def worth it. They gave me a free week to try it out. Planet fitness is far from this place and for 30 dollars more well worth. Great parking and trail access."
