YMCA of Concord

"their assisted weight room and treadmill room are carpeted it’s disgusting. It smells like a preschool mixed with a sweaty dirty diaper. I literally can’t go near those rooms with the stench, they have the same carpets since I was a freshman in high school in 2009. But I moved it UP there to three stars because they redid the steam room and the gymnasium is now really cool free weight room is amazing. Carpeted work out areas ? The stench is nauseating. Reminds me of"

"I've been a member for years and I can't believe a lot of these low ratings. This is a nice place with good people. The facilities are clean, in good order, and bright. There's an extensive and diverse offering of classes, and plenty of space in the many locker rooms. The equipment is modern, and members are entitled to several free sessions with a personal trainer. The pool is clean and is well-organized to accommodate the needs of various patrons (family swim, lap swim, etc). Teachers are outgoing and lead challenging and multilevel classes. I look forward to going to the Y and recommend it highly."

"I enjoy working out at the Y, but there are some issues. Pros -friendly, not intimidating atmosphere -huge variety of equipment, including pool -building is clean -lobby spaces are convenient Cons -building and equipment is quite run down, lots of stained walls and floors and damaged weights and yoga mats -80% of the group classes don't work with a 9-5 job -many of the group instructors kinda stink, a few are great but most lack energy and give very little instruction, I've even had one put on slow orchestral music during cardio -limited weekend hours I like it enough, but I'm mostly sticking with it because it is one of the only gyms with a pool and my husband likes to swim. Otherwise I'd probably switch."

"The staff is not friendly, understanding or helpful. Front desk staff act annoyed if you ask for help. Staff cleaners are sketchy. Go elsewhere Also Concord YMCA is not for young children who cannot tolerate a mask. Their mask policy requires all members 2 years old+ to wear a mask. Our family with 2 toddlers was not able to utilize the facility due to mask policy. We cancelled our membership after 2 days."

"They have a great childcare program. I'm not sure if they have child care for while your using the YMCA workout/gym area. Unfortunately I do not have a membership currently but would like to eventually get one, I've heard great things about there gym facility. I bring my child for daily childcare/preschool program. She's been there for a yr & its wonderful. They are busy doing things all the time. Each class has weekly swim lessons that's included if your age 3 & up which was a HUGE selling point for me. One less activity you have to run around doing at end of the day. Swim lessons are very important & every child should have lessons in swimming. Of course I'd love to watch my child taking swim lessons but if they do other activities like Karate, dance, sports it's hard to fit another thing in busy schedules. This is one crucial lesson your child gets that won't add to your family's busy schedule. They have so many other activities they do as well that benefits children. A gym day weekly where they get to utilize the gym area. We love this childcare facility & everyone there is so AMAZING! HIGHLY RECOMMEND YMCA CONCORD!"
