Central YMCA: Opinions

Fantastic experience: Tyesha and Gale at the front desk are awesome! I had an issue and they handled it very friendly and professional! Tyesha went above and beyond and actually cares about people not just the bottom line. Also, the facility is always very clean and the pool is great! Update: Be aware of the cancellation policy. You can only cancel in person and you have to give 30 days notice, or they will charge you for two more months instead of one.
Negative experience: HARD NO! The Website is very vague and once they have your card info they will charge you whatever they want. All I wanted was before school care and was charged 2x for a membership. I am unable to get anyone on the phone to cancel membership all they advise is no refunds.
Negative experience: your kids will be yelled at by counselors and bullied while attending summer camp here. The amount of bullying incidents I saw was crazy. Not even just kids fighting each other, but counselors would engage too. chaotic and hectic work environments. If you work here, go with the flow and don’t expect anything to be done correctly.
Fantastic experience: It was coo to the max
Fantastic experience: Great facility. Great customer service. Gym, basketball, soccer... lots of kids sports. Many diverse adult classes from exercise to yoga.
Fantastic experience: Love this family-friendly place.
Positive experience: It's small, and crowded machines aren't fun to navigate through. Great basketball and cardio areas, but even with access to all YMCA facilities, it's overpriced for what you get. Just my opinion
Fantastic experience: Excellent!
Negative experience: This place is horrible and poorly managed. I do not recommend for children.
Positive experience: They have most of the equipment I want to use. Staff is fine. What more would you want with your workout?
Fantastic experience: Awesome facility full of activities for children. The Laker basketball game was adorable. I enjoyed the way the coaches encouraged all the children! It definitely is an atmosphere for the children to grow.
Negative experience: This place was freezing cold when I got there. Probably around 55 degrees inside??? I mentioned it and they didn't seem to care. I could hardly stay and wait for my grandson to be done with practice. This was in the only hallway there. Rediculous. I was there Friday night at 6p.m.
Fantastic experience: Love this branch. Staff is super nice and easy to talk to.
Fantastic experience: Planet fitness has been great!! There is plenty of equipment and it is always very clean. When I'm done with my work out and get in the massage chair it almost puts me to sleep. All around awesome experience!!!
Positive experience: Update: tai chi class is no more at the Central Y Best tai chi class around. I've been going for 8 years. New exercise equipment too. Friendly staff.
Negative experience: Very poor communication skills from after school care program .If your child is special needs don’t take them to this place because they don’t have the tools or resources to help or care for them ! Extreme lack of compassion and empathy !
Negative experience: Ebony( a ymca child care supervisor at the Central location) needs to be replaced immediately! She doesn't engage with the children. And l have never seen her leave her desk. She speaks poorly about the toddlers/babies in her care as well as her own staff. Which is unacceptable! Amber one of her employees DOES NOT NEED to be around special needs children! Please take your kids to the Mansfield location
Fantastic experience: Had the gym all to myself... It was clean and fresh.... I love my gym...... Thank you...
Fantastic experience: Nick, Paige, Conner and the front desk staff Great as usual!!!
Fantastic experience: We’ve been members of the central location for almost two years. We’ve done sports, summer camps, gym, parents night out, and now the after school care. I’m reading the other reviews about it being ill managed and in my experience it has been the opposite. Any times there have been issues I’ve gotten a call same day or within the hour of the incident happening. My oldest has loved it and I do like that the after school care is on site at the school. Bailey Martin here recently helped me TREMENDOUSLY with registering my youngest son into the after school care with a same day turn around of him attending. With their short staff I really love this establishment and what it provides for my kids and family.
Fantastic experience: The 2 employees at the counter today who helped me were knowledgeable and friendly.
Fantastic experience: Restrooms and dressing rooms/shower are very clean. Front desk staff gentleman was very helpful and friendly. I thoroughly enjoyed my water aerobics class. Instructor was friendly and helpful. Others on the class were nice. Thank you!

Positive experience: Outdoor pool. Indoor basketball. Place is older, so the feel is a little tight.
Negative experience: I do not recommend after school care from this YMCA. My son has a disability and they aren’t understanding of that and suspends him constantly for his outbursts. This is unfair and liable for lawsuit. Their staff is incapable of handling children and should have better trained staff members. Only putting one star cause I have to.
Fantastic experience: You can't say anything bad about this place. Decent gym with "FREE CHILD CARE" for the time you working out. The YMCA has a Basket Ball Court, Swimming Pool, Yoga Classes of different levels as well as an Intense Spin/Cycle Class. Restrooms have showers and Lockers. Say you want your child/children to learn and play sport's..Got uM! ⚽ swim lessons..a lot more. Plus if you can catch a special going on your for a Low Low price. They really help you become a member.

Fantastic experience: YMCA of Arlington has a lot to offer. The facility is well kept and the variety of programs is really good. With membership you get great discounts on the classes and programs. My daughter loves the "camp" days that they have when there are teacher inservice days and as a member the cost is cheap in comparison to other options.
Fantastic experience: I LOVE THE STAFF! Tamara and Alex are my favorite BUT they all are great!! Great place to workout while my daughter is in Kidz Zone.
Fantastic experience: Nice place to bring your children to play
Fantastic experience: My wife and I used the Central YMCA of Arlington, TX this past month. We were only members for the month of June 2018 while we were visiting family in the area. The “Y” was FABULOUS for many many reasons. The membership check-in procedure was simple, straight forward and quick. The “Y” had a variety of group exercise programs that addressed people of all ages: kids, youth, young adults, working adults, as well as seniors. Plus, the facilities were spotless, all the staff helpful and patient, and the locker rooms, showers and bathrooms well appointed and clean! We were so busy working out indoors that we did not even have enough time to use the outdoor pool! Lastly, the cost of membership was the lowest in North Texas! Central TMCA is a gem that more people should know about and utilize!

Negative experience: Please do not send your child to the after school care at the YMCA. You'd be better off taking them to the Boys and Girls Club, or hiring a babysitter. There is no structure and many of the school locations have a violation from liscensing. The staff are not trained enough and some can't handle the overwhelming screaming children so they will cry or get upset. I am so disappointed the affect this has on mine and myself, never again!
Positive experience: The YMCA itself is pretty good. The lack of the 5th star is because the parking is a nightmare. We mostly go to take our 5 year old to activities. The kids swimming classes are great during the summer. The price is also great, especially when compared to competition. My daughter also attends several of the kids exercise activities and absolutely loves them. The staff is friendly and the facility is quite clean. The communication for cancelled classes is lacking but they do try to call (but making it through the list is likely time consuming). Many different machines are available for the adults. Overall, I would definitely recommend.
Fantastic experience: Great staff. Very good equipment and environment.
Fantastic experience: Kids had a blast. Used a day pass for the pool.
Fantastic experience: Love it! Very family oriented great classes and programs for kiddos!
Fantastic experience: A great place to workout offers a variety of programs for children to seniors.

Fantastic experience: Great family place to workout!
Negative experience: Horrible customer service and the court is always closed
