Port Orange The YMCA

The gym environment lacks gym etiquette with some men exhibiting inappropriate behavior. White men are allowed to speak freely, often using poor language targeting women, minorities, and LGBTQ communities. Mocking, name-calling, and inappropriate talk of women's attractive features of other gym members occurs in the weight room. Disgusting comments about women’s appearances occurs in the weight room. Talk amongst men occur about length. Despite complaints to upper management, no corrective actions were taken. If you are not a white male, then you may encounter an unwelcoming atmosphere.

Constantly dirty/dusty, massively outdated and ripped equipment for three years, rude blonde personal trainer that thinks she runs the place, racist and sexist comments made by gym members in front of staff members that are allowed to persist without consequence. Would quite literally recommend doing anything else for exercise than to come here.

I was in search for a new gym that my insurance covered - The Y was close to home and I love the city center so why not. I went in and walked around the workout area on a Sat.morning. I didn’t love the place, but it was free. I went in for the first time Monday and canceled Tuesday morning.
I arrived at 4: 30p - the whole gym was full of young kids. Girls on workout machines taking tik toks and selfies. I’m young myself but I’m here to workout lol. I tried to go into the weight room but you can’t do anything as the kids are hanging out on the floor with backpacks everywhere. Gym smells like urine terribly in the hallway.

This place is ran down and is need of painting and being updated. The OUTSIDE pool area is not inviting at all. Dirty and ran down. I dropped my membership after being a new member because if hygiene. The front desk GIRL with the dark hair pulled back and the young man were very rude! ESPECIALLY the girl! Very disrespectful, so I will not return, nor will 2 of my friend's.

A dirty old Y. Hygiene is nil. Watch dozens (hundreds) of kids jump into the pool, no shower. Nobody even suggests they shower off. Terrible start to swim lessons.
Health dept.needs to check this.
Service graded D-. Entirely caters to seniors who attend free via insurance plans. Who just stand & talk during classes or block pool lap lanes.
Nursing home vibe.

VAST majority of staff are rude and selectively rude to specific people, entire weight room is gross, rust on all barbells and some dumbbells, ground doesnt get cleaned in weighroom, i kid you not next to the squat rack there was dried poop on the corner of it for about 3 -4 months which i can only assume went away because people kept stepping on it, most machines in the main area dont work good and vast majority are broken, no enforcement with putting weights away, cable machine has been broken for 2 and a half months when they said itd be fixed in two weeks, generally unsanitary place, dont get a membership here seriously

My family and I have been members for the past 7 years. That will end soon. So disappointing to see this place get run into the ground by unbelievably poor management. Constant problems with the pool causing multiple long closures over the past few years. Dilapidated and filthy facilities that are getting worse by the month. The machine workout area literally smells like urine. Absolutely, no improvements made over the past 7 years. Hours of operation that keep getting cut every year. Completely indifferent staff members. Time to find another gym.

Welcoming staff, ideal for seniors.
Infact ALL ages!
New programs offered over summer.

The soccer league through the YMCA in port orange is HORRIBLE! I paid 95 dollars and have no idea on what! We have basically had no coach the entire time, we never received the socks we were supposed to get and half way through they cancelled practice! How are children supposed to learn soccer if they don’t have practice? They also don’t do team photos my daughter has been in many sports programs and this by far is the worst one she has ever been it! 0/10 do not recommend wasting your money on this program

New member and have yet to visit but the website is not maintained for Port Orange location. No classes posted for the rest of the month. If members can't see schedules that is a big negative.

I worked with Alex and Sheila, and they really did an awesome job! I accidentally lost my AirPod in the stairmaster, and they helped to get into the machine and save my headphones, thank you guys so much!

I agree the pool should return to pre covid hours. We joined with the understanding the pool would be available 7 days per week. Covid is just an excuse to have Sundays off at the PO YMCA. You're not so interested in meeting the needs of your patrons. I remember Saturdays with not enough hours for everyone to swim. Waiting lines for lane usage. You quote your study. I question those results. Summertime is heavy usage in the pool on Saturdays and Sunday. We can all take studies and manipulate the data to acquire the outcome we desire. I'm switching to Ormond Y who have returned to Saturday and Sunday hours. Go Ormond.

Very clean facility. The staff is wonderful. There is great equipment. Love the sauna and steam rooms.

Why y'all shortened y'all days and hours? Covid gave y'all the excuse and since you refuse to give us our hours and days back

Response to reply: the pool is not included in the 24/7. And I'm sure your studies would have seen people used the pool both Saturday and Sunday heavily. So the 30 is not applicable to those seeking the pool. The fact y'all close at 2 on Saturday and closed completely Sunday.

I really hope they're going to start remodeling and updating the Port Orange branch with the recent $1 million in donations. Their equipment is outdated and not maintained well enough most are broken or in horrible condition. The facilities are dirty, the bathrooms, the walls, the floors, the locker rooms, everything.
The equipment is crammed up, right next to each other. I've been a member for over 5 years here and nothing seems to change. I'd much rather drive to the Deland YMCA as that is a very nice and well maintained facility. How comes that branch is getting remodeled twice over the course of the past two years but no updates for Port Orange whatsoever? When will this YMCA realize if they want new members to sign up or to simply retain their current members things will need to change. There are many other gyms in the area to choose from.

As soon as I got in this creepy man was giving me looks which made me very uncomfortable, I went to go workout with the dumbbells and the man came up to me again and asked me mid set if I wanted to “get out of here” and go get a beer. If the manager or somebody sees this I think the guys name was mason…

Love the Les Mills classes and Yoga. I've been going to the Y for about a year now and will continue to go because the classes are fun and a great workout.
