DeVos-Blum Family YMCA of Boynton Beach

Negative experience: Horrible communication. No one is aware of anything and miscommunicate so many things when it comes to dates and classes.

Negative experience: Would not recommend. They charge you even though you ask to cancel. Then don't even want to refund your money.

Positive experience: The steam room and jacuzzi are why I go here, last 2 months every Sunday they do not turn on the Steam room. I asked and was told because only women work on Sunday and they can’t go into the men’s room to turn it on. I asked so why not turn it on before you open the doors? No reply just said they cannot operate it due to the schedule. UNBELIEVABLE. Just installed a new boiler last week and it’s not working, asked lifeguard advised to wait 15 minutes I waited 30 and nothing. How does nobody working there half the day know it’s not working. I’d recommend a change in management starting with who makes the schedule. Hard working part time the other half disabled and I can’t use the steam room on Sunday due to a gender issue.

Fantastic experience: The Devos-Blum Family YMCA in Boynton Beach is family oriented and a wonderful community of families who are committed to healthy living with many wonderful classes and a full gym experience.

Fantastic experience: Nice clean facility with friendly people. A nice variety of well-maintained equipment. Highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience: go here for summer camp almost every year and its amazing!!!!!! i miss the kids on the slope camp they had but the camp I'm currently in (teen camp) is awesome! the counselors are fun with the campers and and kind! and i love that we get to go to field trips every day! the cost is worth it and lots of fun! if this ymca gets more funds i bet it could be even better.

Fantastic experience: Friendly atmosphere, ample and well maintained equipment, clean and well lit. Lots of exercise options including scheduled group functions. Bathrooms are clean and locker room odor free - if you get my drift.

Fantastic experience: So far so good for us. Nothing ever is perfect in life, and sometimes I feel people just leave a bad review because they didn't get their own way. We are human right, and we have emotions. Feelings get hurt. I have used the facility on the 2 day welcome pass with my wife. I am an Iraq War Military Veteran, and maybe I have a different outlook on life.. I am just grateful to be alive. I'm not better than anyone, but the facility Devos-Blum is fine for us. I worked out with my wife, jumped in jacuzzi, and did swimming for an hr. Went home, had some chicken, and watched the game with my wife. I am considering joining with my wife on my payday. Thanks, and this is my review. 5 stars We will be back.

Negative experience: YMCA from Boynton beach it’s a good place , but what makes me unhappy is the reason that the building isn’t grounded (bonded) by code of florida all building supposed to be grounded. And then when rains start or some lightning, we need to leave the indoor pools , saunas and jacuzzi. They should consider make some improvements there to avoid those type of embarrassments.

Fantastic experience: It’s been a very nice place. Everybody’s nice helpful for my first time ever joining the gym.

Fantastic experience: I love that they offer childcare so I can enjoy a class and/or some kid-free time! I also love the Pound & Zumba classes, the zero entry pool for kids, the steam room, hot tub, and overall cleanliness of the facility!

Fantastic experience: Great staff, clean facility, and fair membership prices

Fantastic experience: Ymca- great place for the family. Nice gym an pool area.

Fantastic experience: Very good facility and fun place to workout.

Fantastic experience: My son attended pre-school here. The teachers, staff and programs were amazing! Also the swim sessions he participated in taught him how to be a very strong swimmer! We also are members and really enjoy the gym and exercise classes. Also love that we can bring our youngest and she can be looked after while we work out. Overall we are so happy we joined the Y!

Fantastic experience: We love it here, been doing the gym/childcare and swim . It’s all incredible especially for families

Fantastic experience: I wish I signed up sooner. Child watch is phenomenal. Miss Ann, Miss Elvia, and Miss Kerry and all of the staff go above and beyond. My children love going and don’t want to leave. My kids do some sort of craft everyday while I work out.

Negative experience: The bathrooms (not all) have been recently renovated which was a good thing because they were absolutely disgusting. The membership cost just increased and so did other things, such as swimming classes. My child has been taking private swimming classes for awhile and it would cost us $225 for 6 - thirty minute lessons. I just paid for another session and the bill was a whopping $250! That's almost $42 for 30 minutes. That's just wrong. Group lessons are a JOKE because it's 30 minutes with one instructor with 5 or 6 kids. There is no way your child is going to get more than 5 minutes of instruction. I know because I signed my child up for group swimming classes and it was a waste of time & money. I was told the increase was to pay for the locker room renovation which is a joke because there are already issues with the newly renovated women's locker room. The last shower stall on the right is missing a shower curtain and the shower stall in front of that one is already missing the towel hooks. When I brought it up with the front desk they said that they were already aware of it. Well, it's been weeks now and you would think that they would already installed the shower curtain and replaced the missing towels hooks. Hand sanitizer dispenser by the main entrance is always empty, the flooring in the gym is bubbling up in several places which I have already witnessed an older lady trip on it, staffing is inadequate at the front desk, there isn't a great variety of classes, and also when summer camp is in session it is complete hell. It is loud, counselors have no control over the kids and if you want to use the swimming pool during those months prepare yourself! The outrageous price increases is unfair. Several months ago I overheard the director telling one of the male members at the gym that the gym demographic has changed and that wealthier people are now using the gym. The YMCA IS NOT Equinox or New York Sports Club! Far from it but they want to charge you as if you are attending some premier gym. They have forgotten their own history, who opened the 1st YMCA and why it came to be. I am probably going to get the same generic response to this comment like others have.

Fantastic experience: We love coming to the Y as a family and have for years! They offer great classes and activities. Friendly staff too.

Fantastic experience: Friendly place for the family

Fantastic experience: It has been a great experience for me and my family. We ❤ it!

Fantastic experience: We visited YMCA at Boynton Beach today for a first time. We were looking for a youth volleyball information. Christina Sentmanat (front desk) met us with such lovely smile. The way this young lady is welcoming the customers is priceless. Christina provided us with all needed information, she has patiently replied on dozen of our questions. We couldn’t stand in front of her charm and such an amazing service! We got our memberships right away and signed our kids for volleyball. We are looking forward for a great time with YMCA!

Negative experience: I am extremely disappointed with my recent experience at YMCA in Boynton Beach. While I have been a member for some time and generally enjoy working out here, one encounter with a personal trainer by the name of Dawn McCormick was enough to make me feel unwelcome and humiliated. I was already working out in a shared space when a personal trainer came over and demanded that I leave because the area “takes precedence” for her and her client. While I understand that personal trainers have their own needs, her approach was unnecessarily rude and unprofessional. She argued with me in front of other gym members, raising her voice and creating a scene even while I was working out. In the past, I’ve always been polite and considerate when sharing gym spaces with others. I often ask people if they’re almost done so I can patiently wait or adjust my workout. I’ve never had any issues with members or staff because I make an effort to work around others. This trainer, however, wasn’t willing to work with me at all. Even though I was there first, she refused to collaborate or consider another area of the gym for her session. This could have been handled so much better. Instead of being confrontational, she could have explained the situation politely and worked out a solution that respected both her client’s needs and mine. A gym should foster respect and inclusivity for all members, not make them feel like they don’t belong. I hope management addresses Ms. McCormick’s behavior and ensures that staff are trained to handle such situations with professionalism and courtesy. Members should feel valued, and this experience left me questioning whether I should continue working out here.

Fantastic experience: The Boynton YMCA has the best team! The staff are always kind and greet everyone with a warm smile. The karate program is fantastic, creating a positive environment that helps kids build confidence, discipline, and self-esteem. The aquatic team is outstanding as well, especially Ms. Martha and Mr. John. They make us feel so welcome, treating everyone like family.

Fantastic experience: i HAVE MET NEW FRIENDS WHILE IMPROVING MY LEVEL OF ACTIVITY AND MY HEALTH

Negative experience: staff is really nice but not a personal trainer nicknamed "Chuck" who is rude, arrogant who doesn't respect other members and offensively rush people out of the machines in order to favor his personal clients. It's a shame for such a good establishment to have an insulant employee like him on their team.

Positive experience: I was a member for years. Loved it there. Only thing that cost the membership was the extremely high price of membership, but with the pool and spa with gym & basketball courts it has something for everyone

Fantastic experience: Me encanta, mi hijo es feliz.

Fantastic experience: When the family values first, they truly mean that. Both my kids had such a wonderful experience that they want to go back again next summer. The staff were so helpful to not just us but to all the families that were there. I was absolutely blown away by experience my children had and will hands down go back

Fantastic experience: Great for families. Personally it meets all my fitness needs. Locker rooms have good space and are clean. Staff always respectful and helpful.

Positive experience: I've had a good experience, overall. The gym is pretty decent, staff friendly, place is in decent shape. I've used better/cleaner places, but normally 3x the price tag or half the amenities, so I think this place is good quality for what they charge. Only complaint is the water slide - you should rrally have designated times its on. Right now your kid has to get very lucky unless they are in camp.

Fantastic experience: Great experience. Friendly staff and members. No intimidating feeling when working out.

Fantastic experience: Just love working out and my 2 year old loves the child watch program. She always is sad when its time to go!!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely beautiful facility!!! Staff are amazing...TY

Fantastic experience: My children are happy with their swimming instructor. She is very nice and patient

Negative experience: This is probably the worst Y I've ever been to. I'm a visiting member from Des Moines. It's nice that they have the e-gym here even though I don't participate. I noticed a lot of people in the program. There seemed to be quite a few trainers around but just one person at the front desk while they were having tech issues. The weight machines are pretty outdated albeit decently maintained. There was a huge variety of equipment all around though I only saw one set of kettlebells. They use paper towels to clean the machines here which is extremely wasteful. There's a basketball court and some outdoor fields (which other Y's don't always have). I think I saw a cycling studio and a freestyle workout room. No racquetball courts here. I'll reiterate what someone else mentioned about the locker rooms/bathrooms. They are DISGUSTING. Stains everywhere, mold, mildew, chipped sinks and counters. I needed to pee but I high-tailed it out of there and waited till I got to the store. A Y membership is not cheap, and the facility was full towards the end of our visit. I wonder what's happening to all of the money they're getting. A clean bathroom should be standard. It's 2024. You can tell they really don't care by the generic responses they give to all of the negative reviews.

Negative experience: John has terrible customer service skills. He is extremely rude and doesn’t know how to talk to members of the YMCA.

Fantastic experience: The YMCA offers a variety of activities/services and events for adults and children of all ages.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I literally love everything. The Y is clean. All the staff and members are friendly, and I feel like we all have a very strong sense of community. Thanks to the Y we have made new relationships with others who bring positive attributes into our families lives. We are involved in the preschool, the gym, fundraisers, events, we have also done the swim lessons for both our children. All nothing but positive experiences. And we plan to continue being members for many years to come.

Negative experience: Rude member service from front desk. Bad communication, would not recommend.

Negative experience: This review is only for swimming lessons: If your child Can swim it's a good place to do classes but if your child is a beginner look for another place. 1st off they are way too many kids in a swimming class 6-7 small children who don't know how to swim so out of that 30 min lesson you child will get 5 minutes at the most with the swimming teacher ... save your money and time and look at another place. I wish I had known this but no one will give this information upfront!!!

Fantastic experience: So many programs available for adults and children Employees are always helpful and professional

Fantastic experience: Great family atmosphere and always clean.

Fantastic experience: I love the variety of classes and the fact that they are available throughout the day. Most classes can be adjusted to fit different levels. My only issue would be that I wish the locker rooms were nicer.

Negative experience: The members that come here are very nice but most of the trainers are egotistical and unfriendly, except for a select few. The bathrooms are absolutely gross. I walk in to wash my hands, and I might as well have not even done that. The countertops are always grimy and the bathroom itself is very outdated. The rest of the facilities are a bit more maintained but the bathrooms need a lot of work.

Fantastic experience: The YMCA Boynton Beach is a delight. From the front desk to the trainers to folks who teach classes, everyone is friendly and helpful. I LOVE the inclusiveness and how respectful everyone is. The facility is clean and well-maintained. I recommend the YMCA Boynton to all my friends.

Fantastic experience: Love this place. It's not just a gym. They ask you how they can help.

Fantastic experience: I just completed swimming lessons. I had a great experience. Im 54yr fooled around in the pool for years, but thanks to Martha C.( our instructor) I learned to breathe. We were taught to float, keeping it safe while in the water. We start on time & get great info. 2x weekly, I feel confident. The pool is nicely heated. Clean indoor space, locker room is nice.

Fantastic experience: That have amazing programs for all family members. The staff are kind and helpful and the place is always clean

Fantastic experience: Excelente place to exercise

Positive experience: My son is 3 and does evening swim classes here and there is a cool down area for the kids to play after their session is done, HOWEVER I don’t like the fact that the shallow end immediately drops into deep waters as soon as the kids pass the rope. There was no lifeguard on the side of the kids, either. The instructors on the opposite side are busy with other groups of kids. One of the kids in his class actually fell in but luckily his mom saved him. These kids are still learning so I expected them to have a guard present. ‍♀️

Fantastic experience: great people very accepting great environment

Negative experience: I wanted to give five star for the Y because I loved it as my son with 15 years old does, we spent very nice time there, my son signed in the soccer program that he love and he was so excited about, but the coach that was there insisted to put him as goal keeper he didn't like it and he was not enjoy it at all when he talk to his caoch about and he said that i want to play he told him you have to be goal keeper otherwise you have to change the team in the middle of his practice session and he went to the manger to do that, my hasband went to talk to him with the manager and there no communication or professional manner with the two of them, and even if we want change the team for him the other team is full, so he got to stop him in his practice session my hasband didn't like that so we went to cancel our membership unfortunately and it was the first day of this month and the other funny thing that they charged us of the whole month and that's not fair at all My son was so sad and disappointed that day. It's was really very bad experience there.

Fantastic experience: I mainly deal with the aports program so i can give a review on that, Ian is the director and he runs all the programs for sports very well. He is dedicated does various jobs and helps bring everything together running smoothly and professionally. His staff that works with him to ref games, coach, and help run the leauges are very good as well. If your looking for a leauge for your child sign them up here. i wanted to add an update to my review its still5 star but now they added girls leauge for basketball i was looking a while for that and anyone in palm beach or n broward should iqnquire about it if your looking for one... i think new season starts in a month

Fantastic experience: Caring staff that provides many activities for my little one to grow and learn while having fun.

Fantastic experience: Great place to spend time with the family. Good atmosphere. Plenty of classes to choose from, including classes geared towards just adults and classes where the entire family can participate. Childcare is great and super helpful as it really gives me an opportunity to workout consistently.

Fantastic experience: Joining the Y has been such an amazing decision for our family. We started with summer camp, and joined in June for the family membership. I am able to adhere to a strength training program for the first time in years, in part thanks to our daughter’s interest in going to Child Watch. The options for programs for our daughter are endless! What an amazing community resource we missed out in for the last 6 years. I’m just so grateful that we have found a home that supports the care, connection, and health of our entire family, and offers a safe, enriching environment for our daughter to grow up in outside of home and school.

Fantastic experience: Amazing staff! Thank you Jeff for pouring your love and support. You are the best adaptive swim instructor! Your patience and care are just amazing. Nothing is impossible with great people like you Jeff!

Positive experience: Very good staff

Fantastic experience: Very friendly

Fantastic experience: Workers very helpful an nice an YMCA very clean

Fantastic experience: Fantastic place for family porpoise

Fantastic experience: . My nomber was 10 for the places. Sorry for the notice one pleace to please change for TEN. I couldn't see well.

Fantastic experience: Our 4 yr old has been playing basketball the last 2 yrs at the YMCA under Coach Ian, and I must say he is outstanding with all of the kids. It's rare to find a coach that gives equal attention and motivation to each and every kid. Thanks Coach Ian for all of your hard work with these precious kids!!!

Positive experience: This is the closest YMCA to us, so I was hoping to keep my kids here, but the temporary aquatic facilities are run down and outdoors. It's not very comfortable having swimming lessons in less-than-ideal weather. The teachers are great though. But the staff who answer the phones are usually rude and unprofessional. I really did not appreciate my questions and inquiries met with such attitude. The Boca Raton location and staff is superior.

Fantastic experience: We love it here. Basketball for my son, swim for my daughter and gym for me. The staff is gentle and kind and the facilities are clean and well maintained. It’s everything a YMCA should be.

Fantastic experience: The Boynton YMCA is like a family. Everyone knows everyone’s names and they ask how you’re doing. My children go to school there as well and they love it. The classes are great and the equipment is new and clean. We’ve really enjoyed our experience as members.

Fantastic experience: My daughter attends the preschool. I just love the program overall. I like that my daughter's teachers keep me well informed on what she's doing well and what she could improve on. I also like that I send her to school with lunch so I can ensure she's eating a healthy and well balanced diet. They do swimming, gymnastics and dance and my daughter loves going!

Fantastic experience: Friendly environment

Positive experience: Good camp options

Fantastic experience: Very nice, very clean and everyone is so helpful

Positive experience: clean the basketball courts

Fantastic experience: So happy I became a member! So many ways to stay in shape , group classes from yoga to high intensity training. Two heated pools. Sauna, steam room and my favorite very warm jacuzzi! They also provide child care, amazing.

Fantastic experience: Everyone is super friendly and very accommodating. I love coming here because it's so welcoming and family friendly. From basketball, to soccer, Zumba, and swimming this place has it all.

Fantastic experience: An excellent facility with friendly staff , a clean locker area , lots of good machines , tv to watch while you exercise Its conveniently located just off military trail. Lots of parking front and back . And a coffee area with good wifi available with tables , chairs and a charging station for phones and iPads

Negative experience: Did not treat employee's well.

Fantastic experience: I have been very happy with my experience at the Y...

Fantastic experience: Love that the pool is indoors and has a play area for kids. Tanisha was an awesome swim teacher! She was kind, soft spoken with the kids and very patient. My son loved her and I would recommend her to everyone!

Fantastic experience: Great center with large pool, tons of equipment and clean facilities. Family friendly with multiple programs for children and adults. We have been members as a family for 10 years and are treated like family. The staff is the BEST! They greet by name and are professional. Love this place!!!

Fantastic experience: Love the preschool and aftercare programs! They are amazing, wouldn’t send my kids anywhere else. Gym, lockers, and pool area always clean. It is a great, well run establishment.

Fantastic experience: Great facility. Very nice, friendly and helpful staff. Lots of activities for kids.

Fantastic experience: The friendly staff does a great job of keeping the Wellness Center clean and observes CDC guidelines for keeping members and their families safe from the coronavirus. I've been a member of the Boynton Beach YMCA for almost 20 years and I wouldn't go anywhere else to workout.

Negative experience: I would love to be able to give this Y a great review, due to the convenient location to my home. Unfortunately, I cannot. While they offer great services for children, their communication is poor and unprofessional. My daughter was registered (and paid) for camp and when we arrived in the morning, I was told she wasn’t able to attend. Being a working mom, I pleaded for assistance as no one had communicated she wasn’t accepted. I showed the camp leader my phone, with no calls/emails but she insisted my daughter could not stay. The leader even acknowledged that I was not communicated with. I should’ve known this was going to be the case, since the summer prior the camp leader refused to allow my daughter to obtain her eye glasses when she asked. I attempted to escalate these situations to the Director, Mr. Davis, however, nothing was addressed. For the price of this camp, I had higher expectations. I will go out of the local area for sports and camp.

Negative experience: If there were other options we would go somewhere else. This isn’t to say that there aren’t good people here ,but obviously the culture of the facility set by their director “Barry” is very negative. In our time here we have had coaches curse and yell at our children and “Barry” refused to take action, difficulty getting accurate game schedules and once again “Barry” refused to take action, and most recently a lack professionalism and fairness from trainers in the gym and of course “Barry” joined in and refused to take action. As a leader by profession I understand the need to set a positive culture, develop community, relationships, and provide good customer service to your guest. None of this occurs here ,and I doubt it ever will with the current leadership structure in place

Fantastic experience: The YMCA has a family friendly environment for the whole family...

Fantastic experience: Super friendly staff and top quality personal trainers! You want results-get them here today!

Fantastic experience: The pool at this Y is Crystal clear. The filter system they use is one of the best. The staff is very very nice and works to make your time there safe.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love the child watch. The staff is always friendly and greet my kids by name and smiles in their faces. It makes me comfortable during my workout knowing my kids are in good hands.

Negative experience: No one ever answer the phone when you call them. No one ever return your calls.

Fantastic experience: All protocols are in place. Friendly & helpful staff. equipment is up to date. Overall great experience every time I go. I highly recommend the Y of Boynton Beach!

Fantastic experience: I love the preschool, the swim program but most of all the staff!!

Fantastic experience: I am so happy to be a member.

Fantastic experience: Buen lugar

Negative experience: The BASKETBALL PROGRAM at THIS YMCA IS TERRIBLE! There are children running the scoreboard, they have inexperienced, poorly trained volunteers as the referees, the team are imbalanced and the gym floor is always dirty/slippery. SAD.

Positive experience: Nice backyard , but not too clean a lot of people sometime, almost never parking

Fantastic experience: Excellent place to put you toddler/child in!

Positive experience: Great place to bring your family. Something for everyone to do. Staff is great.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member here for years. Great facility for the money. Gym, Basketball Courts, Volleyball Courts, Group Fitness Rooms, Multiple Pools, Waterslide, Steam Room, Sauna, Child Care, HIIT Classes, Personal Trainers, Crossfit Style Room, 5 Locker Rooms For Men, Women, Boys, Girls, Family, Water Aerobics, I could go on and on. Amazing place. Take it from me as I am the Duke on Yelp..

Negative experience: Had a membership for over 3 years. I never really made time to use the facilities. I just went to cancel my membership. I got hit with a 30-day cancellation policy. When the time comes to get another membership I will look elsewhere.

Positive experience: Can i have a pool party here
