Greater Hollywood YMCA Family Center

Perfect place to spend your time to make friends, stay healthy, and connect with the community. The Hollywood Y is a big family that welcomes everyone to join:)

My review is referring to private swim classes.
I purchased a package of 5 classes. Several weeks down the road I had more cancellations than actual sessions. Lots of confusion and very disorganized operation. They change meeting times at the last minute. and occasionally instructors don’t even show up.
For those who seek a more serious approach, I recommend to look elsewhere

I can honestly say it’s worth 75 bucks a month I have lost 30 pounds I love the activity the pool they have a subway inside we could spend the whole day there with the little guy he can swim gymnastics they have basketball goes on anon non-​the things you can do here don’t be a couch potato come join the YMCA

Have been trying to arrange to have my daughter go there for gymnastics program at YMCA Hollywood for the past 6 months. I email them, no response. I call and leave messages, no response. I even spoke to the gymnastics director at a community event once and he said he would call me. Again, no call, not even when I called and left yet another message. How are people paying for these services and they don’t even have decency to call you back.

Signed up for 8 swimming classes for my son for $ 90. Instructor was always late. Very unorganized and nobody knows anything. Last week class was cancelled due to weather. They allow make up classes, but dont give you any information. Today, instructor did not show up and nobody even had her phone number. I spoke to manager and she stated that they only guarantee 6 classes, but I paid for 8. I filled out a credit form, but manager can’t grant it because it needs to be reviewed by swimming director. Manager called swimming director and could not get a hold of her. There’s 1 class left. I just don’t want to go back and deal with this anymore. I just want part of my money back. Its the least they can do, but not happening. Don’t waste your time or money.

I would give the place 4 stars but for the management. Example: very good weight room but people sit and rest on the equipment and stay on it making long phone calls. There should be small signs on each piece of equipment to get off of the equipment a soon as one finishes his workout on that piece of equipment and rest elsewhere. TV sets #2 and #7 are on only MSNBC 99% of the time. This is a 3 month observation. Either a manager has instructed the stuff to keep only this channels on or an employee keeps it on. (Disgusting channel.)
There is a great indoor track but frequently young teens line the walls and block or harass people using the track.

The staff is very nice and the facilities are fairly clean. There should be more activities offered to the youth. There should also be a volleyball club for the youth, as there is at other YMCA locations. They should consider also creating a REC room such as the Pembroke Pines location. It would be wonderful to make this Y greater so the name stays true to its meaning.

Staff was friendly but the men’s locker room is terrible. I can’t get passed the smell in weight room but they had ok equipment. This place needs some work and an air freshener.

Been a member since 1995. Too many silver sneaker old ass ppl clogging up the workout room in my opinion. The whole places functions like the average age of the members which is like 70. Gym is very small so it gets stuffy. Idk it’s fine I guess I wish it was bigger. The staff there is pretty good from what I’ve seen over the years. A ton of kids run wild in there too so that should be something they tone down. Thinking about going to LA Fitness tho. More serious about working out and not about socializing.
