Peter Blum Family YMCA of Boca Raton

Negative experience: Almost punctured my tire... a large iron reinforcement rod is sticking out of the parking lot... I talked about the problem with the administration... 5 months have passed, no one has fixed it... Be careful in the parking lot, guys!

Fantastic experience: Amazing place just wish they had a schedule for summer

Fantastic experience: Fantastic swimming instructors Level one :Joanne,very patient with the little ones my daughter,Andreea adores her! Level three:Mrs.Barbara is excellent! Very much recommended the swimming classes @ Y! Thank you all for your dedication and hard work with children

Fantastic experience: Immaculately clean with state-of-.the-art equipment; a friendly, informed staff; a long history of financial stability and affordable fees—that’s what brought me back after two decades away raising kids. It is still here—updated, expanded, better than ever and I’m recommending the YMCS to everyone I know.

Negative experience: Sometime around 2008 I was a child who attended their summer camp. There I was bullied, not by the other kids. I was bullied by several camp counselors. I was probably 9 years old back then. I'm 28 now and I still remember. I'm writing this review to inform potential parents to beware of the kinds of people watching over your kids during summer camp.

Fantastic experience: Been a member since 2011. The people are nice. The facility is always clean. The equipment is updated and I appreciate the 5:45 am spin classes. Ty.

Fantastic experience: Great place with space age exercise machines, in comfortable, clean environment with helpful, polite staff and good programs for everyone.

Fantastic experience: This organization includes everything a person, young and old, needs to attain a good quality of life. Great instructors, classes, activities, friendly environment, etc.

Fantastic experience: This place is great to work out with the basketball court and the gym I really recommend this place it’s really fun and beautiful

Fantastic experience: Great social, recreational, and activities center with a lot of great adult and youth programs and new areas coming soon for the teenagers.

Fantastic experience: Amazing staff, fantastic facility, and exciting growth plans for the future!

Fantastic experience: I need to let you know how great your organization is! I am part of a great group called Leadership Boca, where a group of about 40 of us through the Boca Chamber of Commerce go around every other week and learn about Boca and Palm Beach County. This past Wednesday we had our non-profit day and we had the opportunity to come here. My family and i have been part of the YMCA for about 11 or 12 years and it has made a huge impact on me and them. Both of my kids learned to swim there, they both went to camp and aftercare there. My younger son plays sports there, i play sports there and coach basketball. My older son now actually has been hired to work there and is absolutely loving it. Thank you. What you do is such an important part of our community and it is so important for everyone to know that this is not just a gym and swim, this is a family and community place that everyone needs to know more about.

Fantastic experience: Excellent aquarobics classes. Arthrities aquarobics with Janet are very complete exercise. My energy level has increased significantly.

Fantastic experience: The YMCA has been a big part of my life for many years, ever since my kids were little. It’s more than just a gym, it’s a community where we’ve built amazing memories, stayed active, and met wonderful people. I work out there regularly, and they offer a huge variety of classes in their spacious facility. Now, my son plays basketball at the Y, and we’re having the best time ever watching him grow and compete. If you’re looking for a welcoming place to stay fit, have fun, and connect with others, I highly recommend the YMCA

Negative experience: The worst business. They’re rip off

Negative experience: A week ago, I took my 10-year-old son, who has special conditions, to this place upon his request for basketball. My request was only to register after the basketball coach evaluated my son. The person I spoke to gave the coach's business card and we tried to reach him and left voice messages. We never got a response and they did not even care. Since we could not reach the coach, we called the YMCA again. The same answer, they will get back to you. They also discouraged my autistic son. They did not even look at us. Their only job is to register.

Negative experience: Dear YMCA Team, I wanted to express my disappointment regarding the steam and sauna room closure during my recent visit. It was turned off 15 minutes before closing time, which feels unfair to those of us who pay for our memberships and look forward to using all the facilities. When I brought this up to one of the staff members, it seemed that they were eager to leave at closing time as well. I believe it’s important for members to receive the full benefit of their membership until the official closing hour. Thank you for considering this feedback. I appreciate the hard work your team does and hope to see improvements in the future. Additionally, I would like to point out that I’ve been unable to dry my swim shorts after using the pool, as the dry spinner has been broken for over two months. This is quite inconvenient and affects the overall experience. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Negative experience: Would give zero stars if I could. Particularly for the afterschool program for the young children. I have two little family members that go there and it's telling that about 90% of the parents who have their children enrolled there would move them someplace else if they could afford it. Most of the families there are stuck. There are verified reports of kids being around marijuana, favoritism among the upper staff and gossip and toxicity that runs rampant among the directors that the kids pick up on. Licensing has been called over 10 times in the past 2 months, the director(s) of the program often have to "hide kids" or place some outside to meet the actual requirements set forth by the county and state, counselors and directors yell at the children... for being children. The counselors that my cousins and others resonate with have actually been fired for minuscule reasons while the ones who treat the kids like dogs have been allowed to remain. There are multiple instances where my friend's kids have come home crying or depressed because of the atmosphere and the way they're treated by the counselors here. It's sad that a "Christian" organization that's supposed to be building these kids up instead tears them down. The only thing I will say is that there are a number of us who have conferred and come to the same conclusion, something must be done-- and it will be within the next couple of months. The only thing we regret is how long it took for us to share our collective experiences... While our hope will be that the program is not shut down and instead restructured and reorganized, if that's what it takes, then so be it. What has been happening has gone on for too long and there needs to be accountability. Matthew 18:6

Fantastic experience: Our kids love the swim lessons. The Team is super caring and accommodating.

Negative experience: I would like to express my disappointment with the management of the children’s sports program, specifically with Jacob Griem. Unfortunately, my experience has been marked by disorganization, lack of communication, and an apparent disregard for the concerns of parents and the needs of the children in his care. For several weeks after the season started I attempted to communicate with Jacob Griem regarding a scheduling conflict he created by placing my children in two sports with overlapping game times. Despite my repeated emails and multiple visits to the office, my inquiries were ignored and he delegated the issue to a colleague, whose solution was simply to ask which sport my children would “prefer” to attend—this, after I had already paid for both programs, expecting they would participate fully in each. Additionally, I have found Jacob Griem’s professionalism to be lacking in other areas. On multiple occasions, he has seemed disengaged when parents approached him with questions or concerns, often displaying more interest in socializing with single moms than in addressing program matters. Regrettably, he has frequently appeared less than fully alert and even carries the scent of marijuana, which gives the impression of inattentiveness and a lack of commitment to the program’s integrity. Furthermore, recently, my child was roughly treated by another player, which went unnoticed by the coach. When my husband—understandably upset, though admittedly not gentle in his approach—addressed the coach about his lack of attention, the coach allowed his emotions to interfere and abandoned his responsibilities, leaving the team. It’s troubling that the administration not only permitted this but has now decided to prevent my children from continuing to play at the facility due to this incident. I hope the administration can ensure that coaches are attentive and dedicated to providing a safe, supportive environment for all children and I truly hope that management will consider reviewing these issues and taking steps to ensure that the program is run with the professionalism, responsiveness, and respect our children deserve.

Fantastic experience: The people, both the staff and the members, are great.

Fantastic experience: Great classes! Love Jen's barre and Stephanie's spin class. I look forward to them every week!

Negative experience: Update - This place sucks. Filthy equipment, leaking windows, missing parts… what a joke… Friendly staff and tons of amenities to offer which is really great considering the monthly dues. Alternatively, the facilities could use some SERIOUS love. Older equipment that has been poorly maintained (noisy, loose bolts, etc.) and the roof leaks are probably the biggest drawbacks for me. I understand there are plans to patch the roof(?) but at one point it looked like a comedy skit with the amount of buckets laid out and missing or moldy ceiling tiles. Nothing against the staff, I think they are making due with what’s available. Definitely looking forward to any facility improvements, I feel like some issues could become safety hazards.

Fantastic experience: The YMCA is a sizable facility. It is clean, and well maintained. There are plenty of choices in classes and there are always cardio machines available. The staff is attentive and friendly.

Fantastic experience: I love this place. We've been members for several years and in addition to a great child watch program in the mornings and late afternoon, they also have camps & fun days & kids classes for sports and pretty much everything parents need. Granted, not all the sports classes are amazing, but at least you got an option to try them out. They trained my son to use the machines when he was eight so we can workout together safely. The people are always helpful and friendly and they try to solve problems as soon as they come up.

Negative experience: They make you sign so many documents on the website and give you only 15 minutes to do it! Are you serious?? By the time I finished filling out the forms for my four kids, I decided not to enroll them with you! Horrible!

Fantastic experience: Learning to swim. Love the lessons and people

Negative experience: This review is directed to the swimming instructors. Especially for Nicole and Denise. They know what they’re doing ? I’m guessing that’s a fact since sadly they’re still around. Might be ok instructors, please notice how I say ok and not amazing instructors. I have notice that they both lack costumer skills. They’re kinda rude and have something that doesn’t click right.

Fantastic experience: The staff is absolutely fantastic (Trish & Joan). The place is always very clean and inviting (especially since reception area has been updated with pretty decor ). The programs/ classes/ events show the staff has a strong sense of concern for each age group, especially the elderly& disabled. I’m young (59) but with a permanent spine disability ( and 2 year cancer survivor) and my 81 year old mom has severe orthopedic disabilities and we love the chair aerobics & water aerobics classes. The steam room is really nice and is kept clean and sanitized daily

Negative experience: During the week the gym is very hot. It feels like you are training outside. I asked several times to solve this problem. I'll have to stop visiting this room. I do not recommend this gym.

Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of meeting the Member Engagement Director, Tricia Sabataso at the front desk. My experience was incredible. She was so welcoming, professional and engaging. The YMCA nailed it when they hired Tricia because she's perfect for the job. I joined immediately and Tricia made the membership process so easy breezy! This place is just great and very reasonably priced!

Fantastic experience: The special needs camp (Chase Place) has been wonderful for my son. He is so excited to go everyday. The process has been great. The team is very passionate here and you can see it.

Fantastic experience: Everything and everyone. The school is run perfectly with amazing people.

Fantastic experience: Great school and even better staff. Would definitely recommend. My son loves his teacher (Ms. Karen). Great place with lots of activities. Gracias!!!!!

Fantastic experience: Stephanie's spin class is so fun! Highly recommend!! Best instructor!

Positive experience: My kids plays basketball/ different sports at the ymca, great sports that they love, only thing I think the fees is too much for a nonprofit organization, that welcomes kids, we like our coaches they does a great job. Been doing this for almost 5 years.

Negative experience: I’ve been in the process of moving across the state! This location is does not answer the phone or return voicemails. I had been trying to get my son in the summer camp program. By the time I heard from anyone everything was full and only waitlisted. I came in today to see if I could speak with the director of the program and to see if my son was added to the waitlist and the front desk lady was rude and not helpful. For someone who just moved across the state and be treated with such low quality service from YMCA is beyond me, maybe because I’m black. Thank for all you help YMCA! I have lost complete faith in this organization.

Fantastic experience: I like this sport complex and the staff are very nice

Fantastic experience: Did the pool classes for years Sauna, shower afterwards Now the exercise 3x a week for people over 50… what an exercise

Fantastic experience: We love the YMCA. We are being part of it For 12 years. Best place for my son.

Negative experience: Visited this location, today. Body pump class packed; absolutely no elbow room. We were def on top of each other. Someone had a heavy weight dropped on them, in the overly crowded, very small weight room; Vicious argument erupted. Reminded me of a feeding frenzy of piranha, sadly. People in general were highly dissatisfied. Hope and pray this YMCA addresses the need for more body pump classes before someone becomes seriously injured; this time of day (9:00), rather than offering only Tues. and Thurs. Along with larger room so that everyone is kept cool, happy and comfortable. I am a federal contractor/scientist that has lived in most states of the union. Sorry, guys; yours is one of the worst. The instructor was amazing! Thanks for listening. Doubt I will be returning.

Negative experience: 25 year member of the YMCA. The inability for members to use the basketball court to play basketball is astonishing . Whether it’s fitness classes, camps, or pickleball 4 days a week, the basketball court is never open during any reasonable times for the general member. The workout area is impossibly small given the number of training classes using the same space and the removed the outdoor workout area in favor of lawn furniture for people to sit on their phones next to the indoor pool. Really sad decline

Fantastic experience: I love this place...thank u so mucj

Negative experience: During my daughter's first swim class, she was dropped completely underwater without support by a young and inexperienced teacher. Since that first evening (which started as a fun and exciting new experience, but immediately changed after she was dropped), it became very uncomfortable to force my daughter to take these classes. I saw an attempt to help her by the Aquatics Director, but this whole experience did the opposite of acclimating my daughter to the water. I wanted to share my experience with the program. I truly feel that if her first class had gone well, and she had had a more experienced teacher, we would have enjoyed our time at the Y. I also believe that she could have made some progress in her swimming abilities. Instead, she now no longer even wants to learn to swim with me in our pool at home. I shared my feelings to the Aquatics Director by email, and I never received a reply.

Fantastic experience: It is a great place with good trainers and all areas are very clean..

Fantastic experience: I’ve tried a lot of gyms in south Florida from Lifetime Fitness to YouFit at Town Center, and this YMCA has been the best value for me and my family. The gym is very clean compared to lower end gyms. I particularly like the sauna, steam room, and two pools for post workout recovery. The atmosphere is very inclusive and a great place for everyone to work out no matter their fitness level.

Fantastic experience: Great facility with upgraded weight room. Cycling class with Stephanie Tuesday & Thursday nights are a MUST try! So much energy. All her motivational talk leaves me feeling rejuvenated! Really like egym as well!

Negative experience: My daughter went here about 13 years ago and it was a wonderful experience. I moved my 18 months old son here about 3 months ago and withdrew him within 3 weeks of starting, He went from a very sociable happy baby to a withdrawn child and that began to bite and become veery aggressive. I first suspected physical abuse or emotional neglect but during the last week there, at the end of each day my son would appear dazed and not immediately recognizing me when I picked him up. Over the last 2 months after mulling over the details of this experience we began to suspect they may have been drugging him . It took over 2 months of home care and much coddling and he is now almost back to himself. Education can only be accomplished in an environment that is firstly nurturing and safe. This was not an educational safe place for my child. Something happened to my son while there. Each day that passes we are becoming more certain that our last suspicion is most certainly the case.

Fantastic experience: Love the step class twice per week. The instructor Joan is amazing. The stepping prompts and music are great!. So fun! First few classes I had to learn the names of each step/move and once I got the hang of it, the stepping has become my go-to fun cardio workout! The class is so energetic and entertaining that the 45 minutes fly. Thanks to this class, I look forward to going to the gym now!

Fantastic experience: Great place for family workout

Fantastic experience: I cannot speak highly enough of the Y! From the preschool to the aftercare, the whole facility and their employees are wonderful, I always feel welcome and my children feel that the Y is an extension of the family. They feel safe and happy, and and they created bonds that will last a lifetime. We love the Y!

Fantastic experience: The ymca has been great for my family- the family membership is a great price, and they have many options for gym classes, a state of the art gym and egym, and free childcare while you work out! The daycare is very affordable and my niece loves it and I can’t wait until my daughter starts there next year. The staff is super friendly and helpful and there are so many great community activities!

Positive experience: Thanks for hosting me while I was travelling. Beautiful facility!

Fantastic experience: I have made many wonderful friends at the Y over the 10 years that I have been a member. The front desk personnel and Joan are wonderful, friendly and most helpful.

Fantastic experience: YMCA is the absolute best. The gym, the pool, our kids did preschool and VPK and after care there. They have camps during school breaks, we do all our swim lessons, soccer basketball karate swim team there. The community events like movie nights and halloween are off the charts. Best thing we do in boca, and it's not close. My wife has told me she'd rather have the Y than me and I don't disagree.

Fantastic experience: We ha some years as members and are well satisfied of everyrhing.

Fantastic experience: A great resource for younger families. Every staff member I have encountered has been pleasant and helpful. The childcare while you are working out is so convenient, and my kids actually like going. Knowing they’re enjoying themselves makes it easier for me to relax and enjoy my time in the gym. The EGYM makes working out easy, and the facilities are always clean and well stocked. There are plenty of classes and extras offered for the whole family, so it’s really easy to find something active for every member of the family to participate in. The covered pool area is also a big plus. Overall a great value.

Fantastic experience: Couple weeks ago I was looking for a friendly, fun and more personalized wellness environment in Boca Raton and YMCA (Peter Blum Family) showed up in my search. I went there saw happy members and polite staff with great customers service skills. Next step was to have a personal trainer who would make sure I was learning and executing the right way my workout and Stephanie Sanon came along, she is the perfect combination of a professional plus a friend who really wants you reaching all your physical health and shape! She connects with you in such way that you might not need to give her any explanation about what workout would fulfill a specific need, she makes absolutely sense. I am so pleased with her professionalism that I offered this present review. Hope this helps to anyone looking for a safe, injury free workout routine, Stephanie Sanon delivers it for me, I absolutely recommend her!:)

Fantastic experience: Spectacular, the YMCA teams are so welcoming. The amenities are fantastic.

Fantastic experience: Whenever I walked through the doors, the person at the front desk greeted me with a smile and made me feel right at home. It's such a small gesture, but it truly set the tone for the incredible experience I've had so far. To all the staff members and trainers, they are a remarkable team of individuals who have made this place feel like a second home for me. Their friendliness and willingness to help have been instrumental in easing my anxiety and concerns about joining a gym. Their knowledge and expertise have been invaluable in guiding me through workouts, teaching me the proper techniques, and helping me achieve my fitness goals. In the past, I always felt intimidated by gyms, unsure of how to use the equipment properly, and feeling out of place. However, that all changed when I came to this YMCA. Especially the support and encouragement from "Enrique," who has given me the confidence to try new things, push myself further, and embrace a healthier lifestyle.

Fantastic experience: Love this place! Great selection of group classes and amazing coaches. I also enjoy the sauna and steam room. The cherry on top is the many youth sports they offer l.

Fantastic experience: My family and I are having a great time here at the ymca. We put our children in the daycare and are able to get a workout in or take a class. This was unheard of before for my wife and I to accomplish before joining. The facility is very clean and the staff is friendly and helpful. I grew up going to ymca and I’m glad my children will be able to do the same. My 4 year old daughter also takes a ballet class here as well. She enjoys it.

Fantastic experience: Everything! The staff is kind and helpful, our children love hanging out in the kid's room while we work out and so far have had a blast with swim classes and karate! My son is greatly looking forward to soccer next month!

Fantastic experience: The Y has been a huge part of our life since we moved to Boca. Our little girl has been going to the Y daycare for about 4 years now and it’s been a blessing to us. The staff is loving and caring to our little girl and I am happy to have made many incredible friends through the Y.

Fantastic experience: My 5-year old son LOVES it. The staff is very friendly, the facility is safe, the activities are fun, and it's a one place for all family members.

Fantastic experience: My family and I have been members for over 22 years. Both my children learn how to swim in the facility and were part of the Barracudas swimming team. Both became lifeguards and my daughter worked for the YMCA for years as a lifeguard and children swimming instructor. She is a RN now specializing in intensive care pediatrics. I am still a member and after an automobile accident that nearly took my life, and lost my job, the YMCA has allowed me to pay half price for membership. I am very thankful.

Fantastic experience: Enjoy the respectfully quite environment among members . The modern exercise equipment.

Fantastic experience: From the moment I walked into the daycare to enroll my child 6 years ago, I knew it was a special place. The staff was warm, friendly, and welcoming, making me feel right at home. I now have a child graduating the Preschool program and another in the aftercare program and both are fantastic. Both have amazing staff directors from Ms. Patty at the daycare to Jenna and Kathy at the aftercare. What impressed me the most, however, was the level of care and attention the staff provides to each child. It’s clear that they take their responsibilities very seriously, and that they genuinely care about the children in their care. They are always available to answer questions, address concerns, and provide updates on my children. We are truly blessed to have Ms. Karen & Ms. Xochi in the Turtles class who are not only preparing the children for kindergarten but also instilling in the kids love and compassion. My children absolutely love going to this daycare, aftercare, camps And participate in all the extra activities the YMCA offers (ballet, gymnastics, basketball, swimming) and I could see why. My daughter especially loves the aqua camp with Ms. Leesa as she makes it a blast! The activities are engaging and age-appropriate, and my children feel included, valued and loved. Overall, I cannot recommend this daycare highly enough. The staff are knowledgeable, caring, and dedicated, and the facilities are top-notch. If you are looking for a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for your children, this is definitely the place to be. Thank you so much to the staff for providing such an excellent experience for our family.

Fantastic experience: Lovely facility. As a nationwide member, I've been able to visit a lot of facilities in the state. I loved the cleanliness and the staff was very nice. They could use a bigger workout area, but they do have plenty of equipment. The sauna and steam room are a huge pluss, although the the steam room is currently down. The heated indoor pools are the cherry on top. Will be returning soon.

Fantastic experience: Great classes, trainers, gym equipment, pools, sauna, steam room, etc. The place to visit to stay healthy and have fun at the same time. ❤

Positive experience: Amazing facility with the exception of their gym. Tiny free-weight area. Trainer uses his own speaker during his class (which occurs in the turf to share with other members). You can hear through your own headphones.

Fantastic experience: I left my New York YMCA in Jordan Palmetto Park Road in Blum why am CA in Florida fabulous

Fantastic experience: Great staff, large space, plenty of equipment. Tons of activities for my kids! Love working out here.

Negative experience: Sport manager are not capable enough to manage schedules and what they offer they are not capable of giving! Highly not recommend!

Fantastic experience: It’s so friendly plus great classes. I’m comfortable working out there. It’s a great family environment. Love it!

Fantastic experience: The best place and people you could ever want to engage with for every aspect of daily life. From crib to senior, the Y is without peer.

Fantastic experience: Always pleasant the personnel is very friendly as well helpfull. Great palce great people

Fantastic experience: It's a great place to workout. Lots of workout options and programs available. Clean. Friendly staff. My whole family enjoys it. I highly recommend it!!

Negative experience: stay away from there. my worst experience. I decided to cancel my membership they did not answer my request for 2 weeks for be able to charge me 2 more monthly fee.

Fantastic experience: Great facility, plenty of fun activities for the family, friendly staff, clean locker room and gym, never too busy

Fantastic experience: My husband and I could not be more happy with the afterschool program at the Y. Our son goes to Chase's Place, their special needs center, and participates regularly in teen fitness activities as well as swimming and arts...

Positive experience: no open swim at evening time, all laps are busy with swim team. They should keep at least one line open for regular people. The same issue with open gym, every evenings busy with games, we can’t play basketball anymore. Before they kept court half for games half for regular players but not anymore.. They have open gym day time only..we all members, we all paying, we all have rights to get the same services

Fantastic experience: I just signed up over the weekend during their event which waived the $99 registration fee so that was really nice! Katalina gave my daughter and I a tour of the facility and was very thorough with explaining all the programs they offer and benefits of becoming a member. She was very friendly, welcoming, and took her time in making sure all my questions were answered before helping me sign up. I’m excited and can’t wait to start going with my family.

Negative experience: They are good only collecting money. Kids room are limited only 1hr for your kid. So you have to stop your training in 60 min and jump to take your kid out. Old equipment. Overpriced since no more adequate kids room service- without it it just outdated “ $10 gym” for $100/month.

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, the best instructors and great programs for the kids! My daughter loves the Movers and Shakers class with Ms. Joanne. I love the stroller strength workouts with Micah and Barre with Jennifer.

Fantastic experience: Great place for all the family. Excellent facilities and very clean spaces. Good people helping.

Fantastic experience: I look forward to attending my yoga classes. The instructors are top notch.

Fantastic experience: Boca YMCA is a warm and welcoming facility. Director Joan and the roster of group class instructors are really great. The only criticism is that the free weights need an upgrade and maybe a kind benefactor will step up and donate!

Fantastic experience: The staff is excellent and very helpful. My wife really enjoys the numerous exercise classes for seniors. The facility is always clean and well organized.

Fantastic experience: In my 70+ years I have belonged to several YMCA's. This is by far the best YMCA I have belonged to; beginning with the staff, people who are approachable, attentive, and visible. The grounds, building, and equipment are also well maintained.

Negative experience: While we were really happy to find a place that offers special needs swimming lessons, and we are really happy with our instructor Miss Libby, we are really disappointed that the building doesn't have one automatic wheelchair door, they have signs for wheelchair accessible but you have to manually open the door and keep the door open yourself while trying to get the chair in.

Fantastic experience: Great team of courteous and experienced staff to work with children. Well Well organized classes and sports for kids and adults.

Negative experience: My neighbors and I were interested in finding out Information about the swim team that’s offered at the ymca. We have left several messages and countless emails without any response. Extremely poor communication!

Fantastic experience: Great Sports Director (Jasmine Borders), Nice facility, appropriate selection of sports and good support

Negative experience: It's unfortunate that I got to change my review of the Boca Raton YMCA. I know that this place was built off of Christian values however not all the members share the same beliefs. It is so unfortunate that we live in a country where racial prejudice is alive and well. On October 20, 2021 I was subject to this prejudice while I was in the steam room. Some white man was entering in the steam room until he saw me and made a very negative comment and he didn't come into the steam room. Like he was too good to sit in the steam room with a black man. I will tell you that I will never ever return to the Boca Raton YMCA. This place is truly not a friendly and inviting place among the members. I thank God for the Boynton Beach YMCA.

Fantastic experience: Staff is very friendly, amenities are very nice, there are plenty of activities for all ages, family oriented, kids friendly. I mean, what else can you ask for?! We love it here!

Positive experience: Was a member for awhile, but didn’t renew bc they had a kids Halloween party last year and I forgot the invitation so they wouldn’t allow us in, even though we were members. It was ridiculous.

Positive experience: The preschool is one of the best and i couldn't recommend it enough to parents trying to find a safe and educational place for their little ones. My daughter has been in the preschool program for over 3 years now and couldn't be happier. Shes learned spanish(we dont speak it at home unfortunately) and they've taught her to swim and read/write. Shes excited every day to go to school and talks none stop about how much she loves her teachers and friends. If i could do it all over again, i wouldn't hesitate. However, in terms of the aftercare program, i'd avoid it all together. Definitely not worth the money. Your kids won't be looked after by anyone older than 16 from what i've witnessed and if your kid has any sort of problem, the children watching over them are quick to dismiss them and tell them to "deal with it on their own." would never enroll another one my kids in this program again. Very disappointed.

Fantastic experience: The Y is a family affair everyone loves the Y. Why, because its clean, warm and friendly and safe. So much for the whole family to do with so many programs. The staff if top notch and the trainers and coach's are always ready to lend a helping hand. The recent upgrade to the latest machines make it a fun place to work out. The men's locker room is well kept and constantly being cleaned. If you are looking for a gym for yourself or your family this is someplace to check out.

Fantastic experience: Family place! Everything is clean and everyone is polite, professional and friendly
