HORRIBLE MANAGER. He said he doesn't care that the STAFF literally gave me a pass because he "rules the place" (yes he said that). Janitors don't even know English, everyone feels completely separated from each other. But especially this manager, no warnings whatsoever, kicked me out the place even though I'm a member? Besides these crucial problems, the facility is NOT worth $40. Half of the machines in the gym are broken, basketball courts are never cleaned and super slippery, outside tennis courts are not even present at this point.

I brought my kids to the gym to show them around and told them, “This is where I used to teach breakdancing.” While we were there, a woman saw us and looked absolutely disgusted. As soon as we left, she slammed the door and stared at us. My daughter was really upset by it, and honestly, I’m so glad I didn’t come prepared to sign up for a family membership — I would’ve regretted it. So, thank you to the rude lady for saving me the trouble.

I’m extremely disappointed with the current state of the Wayne Activity Center, formerly the YMCA. Serious safety and privacy issues need to be addressed immediately—there have been repeated incidents of men walking into the women’s upstairs locker room and vice versa. This is unacceptable and could potentially lead to legal consequences if not resolved. How do we know there aren’t cameras in there now?

Additionally, children are constantly present in the 18+ gym area, which is supposed to be for adults only. The weekend hours are also far too limited for a facility meant to serve the community.

It feels like the center is being run more as an event rental space than a true community resource. I sincerely hope taxpayer dollars aren't funding this kind of mismanagement.

I love the rec center! Best investment the town has made since I've been living here.

The YMCA was run down and falling apart but ever time I step into the rec center since the town bought it they're fixing it up. They're using the Theater for all sorts of great things.

Come check it out!

This is a great facility and we enjoy being members. The only issues we have with the facility is their new childcare staff and set up is not good during the day. My kids loved to go there and now they can’t stand it and scream. Childcare staff enjoys their phones a lot.

Also the aquatics director (existed before the Wayne takeover) was extremely difficult to work with when my father in law who was temporarily disabled needed to use a handicap set up for swimming and the swimming showers.

For these reasons we are unsure if Wayne community center is worth it for families to use or for those who have any disability.

As a Wayne resident this place is very good opportunity to do some activities with my family. It has reasonable annual family fee which is coming with some free classes such as swimming for both kids and adults. We got a quick tour inside and then decided to enroll “family premium” package for a year. Enrollment was very easy since we already had Wayne Public Pool enrollments. They could easily used our information they already had. The pool is very good and large and has 6 lap lanes. There is one life guard on duty. The gym,I would say small” but this place is not only a gym, and acceptable. There are also some sports facilities like basketball and party rooms as well.

This review is For Family Swim only

Our first family swim on Friday(30mins duration) after registration in July.
After 15 mins later they suddenly let us out and closed.

One Sunday family swim(from 1pm to 3:45pm), we were there at 3pm. The staff said the pool was closed for now; they will reopen 30 mins later.
After 30 mins later that staff said they will expend 30mins more so we waited  total1 hour to get in.
After 45 mins of swimming they said the family swim ended and let us out.

On Wednesday the family swim(30mins duration) which was yesterday.
Staff said because of swim classes the family swim area was limited today.
Instead of 3 lanes as usual, it was only 2 lanes.

1/3 of the length of the pool was used for class so do not go over there,
another 1/3 of the pool was too deep for kids.
Over 17 people were in 1/3 of the pool together, literally fully packed and I was standing there.

They expanded the lane 18 mins later but my kid only swam for 12 mins.

I registered at the Wayne YMCA only for family swimming for my kid.
Is all YMCA like that?
Without notice, close early, temporarily close an hour without notice, narrow space for other classes?
Feels not fair.

This place is terrible. Me and my brothers came here and they started to get angry. The lady said what’s my problem. Worst part they took 15 dollars of all my brothers money. That’s $45 gone. We paid that much just to do nothing. They also said that they could open the safe to put our stolen money in but can’t take it out. We were in there for less than 5 minutes. Never ever come here. I repeat, DONT EVER COME HERE.

The gym staff, specifically the older woman with blonde hair, was very disrespectful. As we were working out (minding our own business) she was telling us how we should workout. Little does she know I have a cpt certificate- and have been training for 7 years. I would have not minded if she said it respectfully but she was very condescending.

We canceled our family membership several months ago, as their policies made the pool unusable for us, and swimming was exactly the type of activity we were doing there. The problem was, they really disprefer the activities regular membership includes in favor of things for which they get paid extra, and they do it in such a passive-aggressive way that it takes you a bit of time to realize that you are not actually getting what you are paying for. The Y has a reputation of a family- and community-oriented place, which is very nice. Still, in reality it meant many not-so-nice things to us. Initially, it was the teen sports team occupying the pool on the best hours (until 9PM or so). We thought it was fine, especially as we lived 5 minutes from there, which gave us a lot of flexibility (keep in mind though that it does mean overfilled, noisy and messy loCker rooms at times when the team is coming and leaving). But then things started to add up. They have summer camp during summer months (read, the pool is not accessible for most of the day, and so is one of the two locker rooms). You look at the pool schedule and see 6 lines open, then you come only to see that it's actually 2 lines that are open (and filled with people who had also hoped to have a nice swim:), while the rest is taken by a birthday party. Or you come for lap swim (all in accordance with the schedule) to encounter a private lesson in a lap lane, with the instructor ignoring any possible safety rules and asking the child to jump into water when you are swimming by and literally are almost under the child's feet. Naturally, no apologies, ever -- always that "we are what we are, what did you expect?" tone instead. At some point, we decided to quit.
Still, I think this may be a good place for some people, just not for us. If you live very close, if you only plan to come late nights, if you are not interested in the pool at all, or if you are looking for a child-friendly community, this place is probably worth looking at.

The monthly membership is pricier than a standard gym, but the amenities and classes offered more than justify the price tag. It's a friendly, relaxed environment, and it bolsters the community as well.

I signed my 2yr old up at the Wayne YMCA April 30 for private swimming lessons. I was advised that I would receive a call to set up the time and date within a few days. After a week of not hearing back I decided to call and was transferred to the aquatics vm, I left a message. Another week went by I called and was told I can send an email. I decided I'll just cancel and go elsewhere I called and left another message. After a few more phone calls I received a call from the head of the department saying he will correct the issue and call me the next day. A week passed and I had to call again and again and again. Six weeks later Im still waiting for my refund to go through. Please save yourself the time and go elsewhere. Awful experience I will never go back!😠😠😠

I like facility, nice to exercise but staff didn’t know how to print out access records with member name which that access records was useless to submit to get reimburse from health insurance. At least she honestly said she doesn’t know how to print out member name and doesn’t know how to print out member information page either.
I tried afternoon with another staff and that staff didn’t understand my request at all(print out access records with member name, not member number)
So I gave up my health insurance reimbursement.

Adding membership was same as access records. Staff said she doesn’t have authorization so filled out form first and next time when I visit YMCA they will proceed. I didn’t go there around 2weeks and they proceeded and charged $15 on middle of month. Passed half of month. I Called front desk 3 times they put me through manger 2-3 times and left voice messages and sent email to cancel that. Manager said of course I filled out form so they proceed. I thought they reimburse but one week later i called and called and figured it out they were going to deduct from next month membership.

Tired to chase staff/ managers/ receipts for preschool because lack of detail explanation.

It was the worst experience I have had in ymca. Although we paid for the activities, we were acted as if we are fool. We booked our plan long time ago but they made a mistake about the date planned and we faced the consequences. It was obviously not professional. I honestly don’t have a positive feeling about ymcas anymore. Even the staff was not helping us. They kept saying nothing was under their control rather than helping. I don’t recommend any people to go there unless they want to have negative feelings about ymcas around the US.
