Wildwood YMCA

Fantastic experience: Pamela's bodycombat class is amazing!

Fantastic experience: Great place to workout and train 636-551-0073

Positive experience: Just know, Child Watch benefits are only for 1 1/2hrs only a day, not 3hrs like the others YMCA's.

Positive experience: Equipment, layout, machines are on par for workouts, but busy hour gets congested with limited popular benches, arches, etc.... No towels !!! ........ dispensers with brown paper are provided. We're accustomed to the blues and whites. Altogether great place; clean & welcoming.

Negative experience: When choosing to move to this area, the proximity of the YMCA, less than a mile away, was a significant factor in our decision. After all, the YMCA is an organization that prides itself on youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. Unfortunately, my recent experiences at the Wildwood YMCA have shown a stark contrast to these values. I am deeply disappointed with the treatment my son and I received at this location. As a dedicated parent, I have always ensured my child gets ample swimming practice. Despite being a strong swimmer capable of swimming the entire length of the pool using both freestyle and backstroke, we were asked to leave the full-length pool to accommodate an adult lap swimmer. This was not only disheartening but felt blatantly discriminatory. It became apparent that the staff enforced rules inconsistently and without valid justification. When I sought clarification from the Aquatics Director, I was told that lap swimming is only for those aged 13 and older, despite my child meeting all safety criteria and swimming within arm's length under my supervision. Upon further investigation, it turns out that YMCA locations can make their own rules, independent of the published guidelines, leading to arbitrary and discriminatory enforcement. This inconsistency in rules is unacceptable, especially when it targets a child who is only trying to practice and improve their swimming skills. The way we were treated felt humiliating and dismissive, particularly when I was informed that this rule might be reconsidered in the future. This implies that my child's ability to practice is subject to the whim of individual staff members rather than clear, consistent policies. It is deeply troubling to experience such treatment in a place that should be welcoming and supportive of all families. I strongly urge other parents and members of the community to be aware of these issues. Until the Wildwood YMCA addresses these discrepancies and treats all members with the fairness and respect they deserve, I cannot recommend this location.

Fantastic experience: I was on their swim team for 9 years, then I worked as a swim instructor, lifeguard for 6 years. I love the community and the work ethic. I grew a lot as a person working with such amazing people and for a great community of members. There’s so much I can say about how great this place is.

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a gym to go to go to the wildwood y the staff is friendly and caring and makes everyone feel welcomed and are always there to help and then always listen and they have the best zumba classes and instructors and it's my favorite place to go, I can't think of any place i'd rather be then at wildwood y, i love it there its not just a place to exercise at it's like being with friend's

Fantastic experience: Great Child Watch! You can see your kid from the exercise machines area. Friendly staff.

Fantastic experience: Truly, the nicest people on earth.

Fantastic experience: Family oriented social and sports activities

Positive experience: The workout area is nice...good selection of cardio and free weights and weight machines. The locker rooms are not clean with hair all over the vanity in the women's bathroom. The men's never has paper towels. There are always many employees, but no one is ever actively working. Once I had a question and asked at the desk. They didn't know the answer and sent me up to workout area to ask that employee. I didn't find one. When I went back to the desk, they asked if I got the answer I needed. When I said that I didn't find anyone, they took me back upstairs. We located the employee in an office with earbuds in reclining in a chair. Needless to say, no one could answer my question.

Fantastic experience: Was visiting from out of town, it was a great gym with a friendly staff

Negative experience: Beware you have to cancel by the 20th of the month, otherwise you have to pay for the full next month. My husband canceled on the 30th of May, having scarcely used his membership recently and knowing he wouldn’t use it again for several months. I was very disappointed that we had to pay $50 for the month of June for a membership that will not be used.

Fantastic experience: Very nice people very nice clean place the only problem I have is they keep it too hot with no air circulation in the environment is kind of uneasy but the people that work there are in high school and remember to bring your own cup for the free coffee they will give you a cup but I'm not sure if they're sanitized or clean and how many people have drank God of and so bring your own coffee cup or water bottle they don't have disposable cups Anymore

Fantastic experience: The trainers are amazing and are very educated on health and fitness. I also enjoy doing a workout challenge that the gym offers throughout the year to keep me motivated and see real results using the body scale. I truly enjoy this gym and highly recommend it!

Fantastic experience: The products they sell are also very tasty and reasonably priced. If you are looking for a challenge, I highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym community! The equipment is always in good shape, never too crowded (but busy enough to always have a good energy), lots of awesome classes with enthusiastic instructors.

Fantastic experience: Friendly people at the Y and in the gym, clean, and full of the newest gym equipment. Convenient location and great value.

Negative experience: Doesn’t tell you at all but at 30 years of age they start charging you double what you normally pay. Definitely not worth it for $50+ when you close early and never have parking anyways. The fact that they do that is unheard of. Moving gyms and the Y didn’t seem to care so I made the right choice.

Positive experience: Nice YMCA location.

Fantastic experience: Instructor: Amy Ruegge Class: Core & More and Yogalates I remember last December over the holidays, Amy had us begin doing planks using the pool noodle. After that first attempt I asked her how you do this without your feet floating up. Her answer was something like “build your core”. I laugh today when I do a plank because it is easy. I have been so impressed with Amy as an Aquatic Instructor. It is clear that she has a vision for her class and plans how to gradually build the strength, core, skills, & etc. of ALL participants. She is constantly changing up what we do so we continue to be challenged and see progress. Amy possesses all of the attributes of a great instructor/trainer.

Fantastic experience: Great people, great exercise great experience. We both love the Y ,

Fantastic experience: The instructors are first class and with the assortment of classes, I can address all my fitness needs.

Fantastic experience: The body pump class is amazing

Positive experience: Love the Y but hate that they took away our towels during covid and have never returned them. I feel it is a part of our monthly fee and it is a hassle to have to remember to bring a towel each time.

Positive experience: Crowded with no maskong

Fantastic experience: I really enjoy the classes. The instructors are first class and with the assortment of classes, I can address all my fitness needs.

Fantastic experience: Love the Aqua classes. They have a nice variety of classes with various starting times to accommodate many schedules. All three instructors are fantastic and provide nice workout routines that are made that much more enjoyable by being done in the water.

Positive experience: It's a very nice and clean facility and just about everyone, staff and members are very nice "but" my wife and I are both in our 70's and have the some of same physical limitations that go with the age. We try to swim a mile of good hard laps 3 days a week but it's getting more crowded which makes us more prone to injury. We try to swim together but if it doesn't work in the future we'll look around

Fantastic experience: Wonderful clean facility with amazing staff!

Fantastic experience: Great community

Fantastic experience: Best gym ever❗️❗️

Fantastic experience: Love the Wildwood YMCA everyone is really nice I just wish it had a hot tub ☺

Fantastic experience: Wildwood Branch - Personal Training: Personal training sessions are worth every penny! I have been working with Linda H.for over a year now. In that year, I’ve gone from barely being able to walk up a flight of stairs to being able to do so much more! Linda was encouraging and positive from the very beginning. She adapted exercises to match my ability level and cheered on my efforts. I love the variety of exercises and approaches to fitness she has shown me. I have a ways to go to meet my long term goals. I know my work with Linda will help me get there!

Fantastic experience: The staff is amazing and super helpful. They worked with me and answered all my questions. The facility itself is great as well. I just joined with my fiancé and we both love the Y.

Fantastic experience: I am very impressed with the breadth and quality of programs offered at my neighborhood Y. The staff is very friendly and knowledgable.

Fantastic experience: Love the Y!!! Friendly people, always a lane to swim and plenty of machines to work on, classes to go to. Showers are great and the steam room is the best!!

Fantastic experience: As a staff member, I love being here! This is my home away from home: My son looks forward to going to camps in the summer, swim team during the school year, and hanging out with the child watch staff. His favorite thing is helping Ms. Jodi work in the garden.

Fantastic experience: My BMI has moved into the healthy range from 29 to a 25 since joining Wildwood Y. Between the cycling classes and Queenax classes , plus all the other great programming and equipment offered I feel better than ever! Folks behind the desk couldn't be more helpful and supportive! Always a smile.

Fantastic experience: I love the Y, I have been an active member since my twenties and my children are following in my footsteps. They have so much to offer, not only as far as physical fitness but also to families and the community as a whole. I love all the classes they offer and how they stay up to date with all the latest workout trends. Our four children have taken swimming lessons, played basketball, soccer, baseball, utilized their summer camp program, kids night out, annual holiday events, family nights of swimming and so much more! You can not go wrong with a Y membership!

Fantastic experience: We’ve been members for several years. The staff is super friendly. The classes are great. The equipment is good. Nice pool and locker rooms too.

Fantastic experience: Our family has been members of the Wildwood YMCA for 9+ years. Obviously, we love it! They know us all by our names and are so welcoming every time we enter the gym. Highly recommend if you're looking for a family friendly gym!

Fantastic experience: I’m up before the sun most mornings to come work out before I start my day, and I wouldn’t have it any other way! The staff is always chipper and willing to answer questions, the classes are phenomenal, the gym has varieties of great equipment ☺️

Fantastic experience: My family and I have been exercising at the Wildwood YMCA for over 25 Years. We love working out at the Y. The employees are the best, friendly and knowledgeable. The equipment and facility is top notch. However there is one area where I believe we are lacking equipment. That is the machines for hamstrings. There are plenty of leg presses, leg extension machines and calf machines. But there is only one machine for hamstrings. And it is difficult to access as it is in use most of the time. My recommendation is to add one or two more machines for hamstrings. A lying leg curl machine is really needed. By the way the Y use to have a lying leg machine, unfortunately it was removed and not replaced. Thank you for your consideration. George Cobelens

Fantastic experience: The staff is very nice, the facility is very clean, the pool is large and well maintained!

Fantastic experience: The Wildwood YMCA is a terrific place for families. The staff is extremely helpful, and the amenities are top notch. There are plenty of programs for every age group, and my family is proud to say we have been members for many years and will be for many to come.

Fantastic experience: Love the Wildwood "Y". Been a member since January of 2017. Top notch staff, guards & instructors at the pool & those at the check-in/check-out desk! They are always pleasant & smiling! My only regret is not joining sooner!!!! Initially had to drag the wife for the Silver Sneakers classes, but now she looks forward to them. She's met many & has made close friends. From my perspective, the "Y" is the center of the Wildwood community!

Fantastic experience: Clean facility. The front desk staff is always friendly and welcoming, and the functional training class by Kristin is the best!

Fantastic experience: Great family atmosphere. Convenient location with friendly staff. Multiple community involvement programs, which I like.

Fantastic experience: There is something for everyone at the Wildwood YMCA. A friendly and talented staff, convenient location and great programs from camps to LiveSTRONG.

Fantastic experience: Being a staff member at the ymca has been as fun as any job could be ! Playing around with little kids and getting to go on feild trips can’t be beat. and my other staff members and managers are wonderful, I got the chance to make new friends and got a new YMCA family from working at the Y, can’t wait till next summer !! Also the nicknames are great

Fantastic experience: I love the classes at the Y. Always a great workout. I have been bringing my kids with me since they were 6 weeks old. They love going to child watch. Great community at the Wildwood Y!!

Fantastic experience: I just joined last week. I really like the variety of exercise machines and all the different exercise classes they offer. There is something for everyone.

Fantastic experience: The Wildwood Y is the best! Child watch, so adults can work out to stay fit, an indoor pool, indoor track, cardio machines, free weights, they have it all with the addition of swim lessons and other activities. One can not find all this and so much more in a regular gym membership. Best thing we ever did was join the Y!

Fantastic experience: I love going to the Y. Everyone treats you like family and they always willing to help me every step of the way. I love the different classes and activities they offer too. My goal is to become healthy and these folks at the Y are sure helping me.

Fantastic experience: We love the Wildwood family YMCA. They offer so much for seniors to keep us healthy & to continue living independently. Thank You Wildwood YMCA Team.

Fantastic experience: My kids love the pool & play room that they go to when my wife & I are working out. Place clears out real nice after 7 pm if you like to work out in the evening. Very Nice Employees as well!!

Fantastic experience: Believe it or not I must confess initially my husband had to drag me to the “Y” and “make” me join. In no way did I want to work out. Now I can’t imagine not being a member. It is our second family. From day one everyone was so welcoming and friendly. Every single member and or visitor is welcomed by a smiling face from someone behind the desk. It is not long before they know you by name. The staff and trainers genuinely care about us. I’ve been a member at a couple of other gyms and they were just buildings with equipment. The Wildwood Y is truly a family. Cliche, maybe but totally true. I retired last summer and now I’m there 5 days a week as is my husband who initially drug me there, who by the way puts me to shame by working out twice as long as I do each visit. I have worked with a private trainer for a few sessions. She listened closely to my goals and crafted our sessions with movements that would help me reach and maintain them, which I have. Yoga has now become a passion for me. Something I never had an interest in before. The staff comes up with regular “challenges” to make things fun. In my mind the friendliness of the staff fosters the same between the members. People who don’t know each other will introduce themselves and start talking and just like that you know a new member of the family. Just can’t say enough good things about the Wildwood YMCA. I would not want to go anywhere else. A great place to be.

Fantastic experience: I’ve worked out here while visiting family and it’s truly unlike any Y in my city. Much bigger, newer and cleaner. I love the layout. This staff is always kind and friendly.

Fantastic experience: My family LOVES the Wildwood YMCA. The various opportunities are fantastic. My daughter is a member of the swim team and can't go often enough. My son has used the fitness equipment, taken classes with the trainer, and likes the open gym! Its been a wonderful way for our family to spend time together!

Fantastic experience: We love going to the YMCA, great camps and activities for the kids, clean workout equipment and fun classes for all ages!! If you haven't been there, you should check it out!

Fantastic experience: I fell in love with the Wildwood Family YMCA when we first moved to Wildwood 7 years ago. I had 3 small children and going to the Y was a place where my kids would play and I would get an hour to myself. Now I am honored to be on staff and my family still loves hanging out in childcare, playing on the youth sports teams, and working out with my husband and I thanks to the Youth My Fitness orientations.

Fantastic experience: The Y has a very friendly and helpful staff and many great programs. It’s definitely a great organization to be apart of.

Fantastic experience: Our children and grandchildren think the programs are outstanding.

Fantastic experience: I like to swim. Am trying to rehabilitate my legs after a back operation in August. And swimming helps a lot.

Fantastic experience: Very helpful staff as well as a very welcoming environment!

Fantastic experience: Everyone is friendly and the trainers take the time to help the new people learn the moves. It feels like family.

Positive experience: Kind and friendly staff. Very accommodating and swim team has been so fun and enjoyable for my kids!
