This Y is approximately 10 years old. It's nice with lots of newer equipment. Steam room. Sauna. Towel service included. The only drawbacks are the weights area is relatively small & gets packed during busy hours. Many of the cardio equipment have broken signs on them which is disappointing. The broken signs have been on the items for many months.

If you would like to play basketball at this gym you won’t be able to after 5pm heads up … the entire court is rented out EVERYDAY so if you work you will not have the chance to play basketball. the court is used for way to many things other than basketball. Other than that it has everything else a gym needs to excel

If you’re looking for a place that combines top-notch facilities with a family-friendly atmosphere, the Winston Family YMCA is definitely worth joining! I also enjoy taking my toddler to their park because it’s fully fenced in and he can run freely without me having to worry too much about being right on his heels. It’s got a gorgeous view and just the right amount of fun for the littles.

The gym I recently joined has an incredible variety of group classes—everything from yoga to high-intensity interval training. The instructors are professional and very encouraging, which makes workouts enjoyable. The only drawback is that the monthly membership is a bit expensive, but the quality of the facilities justifies it.

My family and I have been Y members for nearly 3 years until just a couple of weeks ago when we moved away. I unequivocally and 100% recommend the Y for a family.

Staff are all generally all helpful. Front door staff try to be quick. The service desk can be quick, but lines do occur since there is generally only one or two people working it. The KidZone staff are the true gems of the Y. My daughter loved all the caring folks who watched her daily for a couple of hours while we worked out. I cannot tell you how great they are.

I never used the training staff, but they were helpful when needed. The one staff member that completely sucks is the skinnier old guy with the grey beard. That guy has the ick and tried to shoo me away from equipment when I was working out on it just because he wanted it. I politely let him know the equipment would be available when I finished.

The Y activities for our daughter were really great. During our time at the Y we participated in an Easter Event, Daddy Daughter Dance, Wellness Days, Christmas events, and more. This really helped us feel part of the community and I made some great adult friends. The programming staff are stars at their job.

The indoor pool is amazing. My daughter went from zero swimming skills to being completely able to swim alone at 3.5 years of age. The program pool is heated and made teaching our daughter how to swim a great experience.

Parking can be difficult at the Y if you come in the afternoon. Saturday mornings were also another time you would want to avoid the parking situation. It would be great if they paved the other lot and added lines. It was the Wild West down there. Additionally, folks will dent your car and not care or leave a note. Parking here with a nice car is a big issue especially if you want to avoid dozens of small dents and chips.

The actual weight lifting area is perfectly fine. If you are someone that likes classic weight lifting gyms, this really isn't the place to join. You can get a great workout in, but I found folks lacked gym etiquette knowledge. Same for the running track upstairs where there are running directions for each day. The amount of folks that cannot read directions is a bit appalling.

Additional areas that are great are the full sized basketball court with 6 hoops and the playground outside. I found time to play basketball every week. The one downside is no basketball league for adults and unequal time given to basketball compared to other sports. I would have loved a volleyball drop in too. Considering how popular volleyball is in the area, it would have made sense to add.

Overall, the Y is amazing. There are many great staff members and many great members that made coming here a wonderful experience.

I love Saturday mornings for my son here. We done swimming lessons a few times and there are different programs for the kids on Saturdays. I enjoy a workout myself.. but honestly the sauna is not impressive. I like how the YMCA keeps up with your visits to encourage your visits. The facility is always clean and towels are always stocked.

This review is for the Kidzone. Dropped my kids off for parents night out. My kids said the people working there kept screaming at them to be quiet and watch TV. The kids weren’t allowed to touch any toys or talk to each other. Very disappointed in the staff working the kidzone 5-8pm on 6/20/25. I wish they just called me to pick my kids up because I wouldn’t have left them there to be shouted at if I knew.

★★★★★ A Fantastic Facility with a Welcoming Atmosphere

The Winston Family YMCA is truly a gem in Jacksonville. From the moment you walk in, you can tell this place is well cared for—the cleanliness is top-notch, and the staff goes above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome. Whether you’re here for a workout, a swim, or just to unwind, there’s something for everyone. The variety of amenities is impressive, from the spacious gym and group fitness classes to the pool and family-friendly programs.

While I absolutely love the experience, I do wish the hours were a bit more extended to accommodate different schedules. That being said, the positive energy, excellent facilities, and sense of community make this YMCA a great place to stay active and connected. Highly recommended!

This gym is amazing. I love the layout, there’s alot to do rather you use the sauna, the indoor heated pool, or any of the equipment. The location is perfect. And the view of the river and downtown while working out is beautiful. The only complaint I have is they should go back to being open 24 hrs even if they do it Monday thru Friday and close early on the weekend. That way it gives all of the night owls time to work out

I had the pleasure of chairing a Members Program for the Jacksonville Women's Network at the Winston Family YMCA in Riverside, and I can't say enough about how wonderful their event team was! Under the leadership of Tim Burrows, the Executive Director, along with Rachel Mills and Burt Cannon, every detail was meticulously managed. They ensured that our meeting space was set up perfectly and were incredibly accommodating with our last-minute requests. The performance kitchen area was such a fun place for our group - truly impressive! I highly recommend the Winston Family YMCA for any event. Thank you for making our experience so memorable!

The indoor pool is amazing The family pool could be bigger but the lap pool has to be big enough for people to do laps it's a little bit cold but that's only because everything feels so hot so I'm sure once you get in that cold water you feel fine but I know the family pool is amazing and the fact that my kids cannot swim yet she's too little they have a little ledge for babies to be able to walk on while they play in the water and they provide floaties or life vests they give you rings for the areas they can be in so that way they're safe you know like red yellow or green zones based on their swimming ability they have swim classes I mean they just they offer so much at Winston and to know that we can sign up for the classes without having to pay an extra fee considering you know we're we're kind of low income it makes a huge difference now even though we do okay we're still considered low income because I make under $35,000 a year and that's including the social security we get so they always make everything affordable $75 a month and we can go to any three so that way no matter what we can go to one with a pool or we could go to the one by our house that's Baptist and oh my gosh that place for it being small it's one of the most comfortable workout areas I have ever been to and I've had a pass with planet fitness I've had a pass at several of the YMCAs I've had gone to group workouts I've done the videos I went to classes I mean I've done a lot of different versions of exercising but going to Baptist North YMCA I've never felt more comfortable working out not worrying about people staring at me or being any kind of way I can feel comfortable to wear any clothing whether it's tight or loose fitting The only thing they care about is that you're wearing clothes that are safe to work out in and you're wearing shoes that are safe to work out in which is amazing because yeah if I was wearing flip flops of course I could hurt myself so the fact that they even check and itself is amazing because I've gone to places where they don't even bat an eye about people breaking rules because they don't care that much but you can tell at Baptist North they're there cuz they want to be and they do their job well because they want to be there and I mean for people to ask me if we need help working out or to give us advice That's amazing and I'm not just talking about the trainers which they do do it I'm also talking about people working out coming up to me and my son and talking to us like you know we're part of a community and that's exactly what we're looking for I'm not looking to go to a place and feel like we're strangers and can't talk to anybody I want the type of atmosphere to where you can say hi how's your day you know whether it's small talk or whether you can get into a deep conversation I want it to be comfortable enough to feel like you could or want to you know and we found that there and out Winston it's almost the same but there's more people there cuz it's a bigger place so it is a bit it's funny it's a bigger place there's more people and yet you feel a little more isolated weird that is the only thing that I don't like is even though the staff are friendly and even though there's lots of people there sometimes me and my son feel a bit alienated or less comfortable exercising to our limits like we do at the Baptist North but like I said smaller and more quaint oh and they just updated their equipment at Baptist North so all brand new equipment there on Winston I don't know I think it's all the same equipment but they do have a lot of updated equipment compared to other places all of it's easy to use they keep a safe environment and if my daughter was capable of going to a daycare they offer free daycare which is amazing but at this time that's something that we are not capable of doing it well she is not so I am not either way YMCA is one of the best $75 I spend a month with her we go once a month or four or five times a week it makes a big difference and it has made a difference in my way and then looking at my son

This is an absolutely beautiful facility located on the St John’s River in Riverside. As a visitor, I was very disappointed by amount of dust and dirt around the sides and front of the running/walking surfaces of the treadmills. When running you could even see the caked dust under the treadmills and where the sides of the machines had been partially cleaned. I have asthma and decided to cut my workout short. Let’s please take care of this beautiful facility, very expensive equipment, as well as the health of those using this amazing facility with daily cleaning - please. Thanks!
