Great place to visit for classes, swimming and lots of new equipment. Boot camp, yoga, Zumba and kick boxing are some of our favorites.

Hours are very minimal, they recently changed their Sunday hours to 10am open, and they close at 4pm both Saturday and Sunday. Most rec/gym centers are open for at least 10 hours a day, including Sundays and Saturdays, being open for only 6 hours is such a narrow timeframe, and only 8 on Saturdays. Would recommend going to other gyms if the YMCA doesn’t fix this problem soon, it’s almost comical for someone paying 50 dollars a month, but only accessing the gym 6-8 hours on weekends. Thank you.

This place is a rip off and not family friendly, I spoke with a very rude lady named Jordan who does billing she wouldn't even let me talk. I explained I just had surgery and could not come in to cancel my membership and I was just wasting money donating 93$ a month. I explained I was on workman's comp and had little ones to feed. She refused to refund my money or cancel my membership. I had to call my bank and have them blocked from stealing my money every month. Had I not have done this, then this lady Jordan was fine with taking my money every month even though I was not using tmy membership. They were fine with keeping my money even though I wanted to cancel. I don't recommend giving them your banking information. People like Jordan who work there are thieves

membership is free for the first 12 months at the Providence YMCA. if you sign up online and come in to enroll they will take a picture and issue you and ID card. then you have to make no payments for the first year as long as you use your membership. if you don't use the membership and then call and cancel before the 12 months is up, then you will lose your deferred penance and will owe all of the months remaining for the 12-month period other than that they offer great activities they have great amenities

New member, my daughter got hand/foot/mouth within the first three days of going to the in house Daycare. Kids are kids and have their slobber and germs. The real reason for the low rating, is that there's one family bathroom in the pool area. It's not being watched, individuals without kids are going in there alone and using it as their personal bathroom. I'm forced to change my 2 year old daughter in the mens locker room in full exposure of her and them. I brought this to the attention of the very very very young individuals at the front desk and they couldn't care less. Gave me the number to call the director.....which ended up being the number to the front desk.

So if you hate privacy, and don't like family friendly environments then this is the place for you!

Love the facility. The pool is nice and warm. Only disappointment was I attended an advertised Zumba Dance Fitness class and half the class was core work requiring members to get out a mat and down to the floor. I came to dance and was disappointed. It was the regular Zumba instructor, Suzie. She was friendly, but also used weights and again, it wasn’t advertised as Zumba Toning or Strong Nation, which are the only two Zumba formats that allow weights or floor work.

Morning crew is sadly so rude and took my son to child care for the first time during the morning and was crying literally not even 5 min and the person watching him in child care took him out of the room and told me to come for him bc he wouldnt stop crying. Also had a lady tell me i cant have my son sitting where im working out due to safety but again child care doesnt want to watch my son due to crying. So much for a family gym facility. I pay extra so that my son could go to child care so that we get denied. Again super disappointed. Never had a problem with evening shift but due to my schedule change i had to start coming mornings and all i can say is im truly disappointed on how enployees treat there clients.

I went up to register my silver sneakers membership and 2 people at the desk but only one actually helping people. There were no brochures for any of the pool sessions I was told to use my phone and take my own picture for reference, after much looking they were able to provide a list and times of classes. Half way through the enrollment I left as the person flitting here and there left me to help the other person at the desk, I thought she worked there but she really didn't help anyone she just sat there looking at the computer. The person that was helping me seemed very confused and disorganized...not a great experience. Will give the facility a try but not expecting to much from the place....

Gym is fine. Some things can be improved. Water/ Drink machine has been out of order for awhile now. No maintenance on exercise equipment, some don't count correctly anymore and cleaning locker room desperately needs attention. The lockers are disgusting, dirt covering handles and doesn't look like shelves in lockers have ever been cleaned.

Overall a good quality gym but there aren't enough core exercises. Only have one machine to help with a belly and can't feel but to think that's on purpose. (Make people quit as most come because they notice bell size) As there are 2 to 3 machines for every other part of the body. Then the mashie that focuses pecks has been dysfunctional for the past 2 years. This makes me think management doesn't check on machines. Plus the air-conditioning isn't set low enough for work out conditions. Everything else is great but these problems haven't been addressed for years.

They have a dynamic water aerobics teacher and class in the evening that accommodate those late sleepers and workers.
The pool is deep enough to benefit, but not to deep to worry. The locker room lead the pool, same level, and it does have a disabled stall for those who need it.
The staff is very friendly calling you by name. They have a share books and food section. Although I have never used it, they have a play area for your children. No reason not to join us.

The WORST customer service. After completing my online sign-up, they called me to come in to finish the registration. I went in and waited while the associate talked with his girlfriend about his plans for the night on the phone - though he acknowledged me - and, after about 5 minutes, he said their internet was out so couldn't help me. When I went back the next evening, the associate was very rude, immature, had a hickey on her neck and was flirting with the other associates who were also commenting on her hickey. She didn't say two words to me while she made my cards because of her interactions with the other employees and then just handed me my cards. I'd never been there before, didn't tell me how things work, where anything was - so I asked, thinking she'd show me. Instead, she grudgingly pointed and said the equipment is that way, the pool is that way, the child care is that way. I don't even want to go back and use my membership. Oh yes, I need to mention there's a "safe zone" for children sign outside the front door. That's where someone affiliated with the Y was yelling and cursing at someone on his phone sitting in his car about something when my child and I went in. I could hear him from at least 20 feet away. I found out he was associated with the Y when he came in hollering at the associate making my ID cards and commenting on her hickey. I understand those positions don't pay the best, but some decency, respect and at least a small bit of professionalism would be appreciated. I am also afraid to take my child with me if I do go workout and not waste my monthly membership fee due to the other reviews.

The customer service is bad. I grew up going to this YMCA and recently came in from Chicago to workout a couple of days while I am visiting home. When I walked in to see about the YMCA's nationwide 3 day pass promotion, the front desk clerk, Vivian, first asked for my age and ID. I complied and gave her everything she asked for. Then she tried to charge me $15. As I reached for my wallet to pay, I asked her for the second time, if they had the 3 day pass available at this YMCA. She responded and I quote, "We do have the 3 day pass available but not for you. It's only for people serious about joining the YMCA." I put my money back in my pocket, went to ANYTIME FITNESS in Johnson County, and they gave me 5 free passes even though they know I don't live in Kansas. I grew up going to the Providence YMCA since I was 14 years old. I don't know if I'll ever go back.

Child watch is awful - do not bring your kids there. Staff is rude and bitter and uneducated about child care, and quite obviously have no desire to work with kids. Many broken treadmills. Group classes are great - you WILL get in shape, if you go to a class take your kids with you to the side of class or find another family center to go to.

Called twice. The first time they picked up the phone and hanged up on me and the second a man answered very rudely! He was complaining about not being able to hear me and when I would speak louder he would ask if he could talk to an adult because I'm a "kid" sorry sir but I am not a kid. Very rude phonecall. I was asking a simple question. Regardless if I'm a kid or grownup I believe you could've answered that simple question or ask if I could speak louder in a more polite way.

So were should I begin. I signed up for a family plan a few months ago. Upon signing up they said it was $83.00 a month and they needed a thirty day notice of cancelation. My family and I only used a hand full of times and discovered it was a horrible place to work out for many reasons. Day care hours were unusable. On Sundays daycare was closed but parents still brought kids anyway and the kids just ran around the gym like maniacs. Equipment is old. People working the front desk don't have a care in the world. The list goes on and on like this. So I went to go cancel my membership and they said I had to pay $130 to do so. Apparently I signed a one year contract, they just changed the word "contract" to "agreement". But all of this was not disclosed to me. They are thieves, con-artist and liars or unethical. I highly recommend you don't go here or take your kids here.
