Greater Waco YMCA

This YMCA has so much to offer! My daughter does swim there, and I am very impressed with the facility as a whole. They have so many activities going on at all times; from racquetball to volleyball games and kids’ gymnastics classes to all sorts of adult classes. Their child care area is impressive also, with many different rooms for different ages. My only recommendation is to figure out how to add some air flow to the pool area. It’s too hot for the instructors and the parents rarely stay in there during their child’s lesson. Overall it’s a great place with so much to do.

I’ve been a proud member here for over 10 years and was so excited for the new soccer turf. However, it’s been disappointing that the field stays locked and off-limits to members during the week, with the only alternative being the small kids' gym. I’d love to see the YMCA open the field for member use outside of the Saturday youth leagues. It’s a beautiful facility, and as a long-term member, I’d really value the chance to actually use the amenities I support. It would be a huge plus for the community if there were times during the week when members could use the field for footwork or drills

I have a membership to work out. Pretty decent selection of equipment most of it in good working condition but a few pieces look like they were off the Ark. They also have a egym section for those that want to work out but don't want to carry around and load weights and have to figure out the machines. Most employees are nice but they are really all about the money. Pretty much everything other than monthly dues are over priced.

I'm a returning member after a few years and have only been here a couple of weeks I was in the gym shooting basketball, finishing up my cardio, I had my headphones in and noticed people coming in the gym and bringing equipment onto the court so I moved to the empty side of the court, I also had on headphones so I wasn't aware but a lady came up to me and rudely said "its time to go.. thanks" The gym is closed boot camp is 9-10 and then walks off.. I didn't know I could not be in there. But im usually leaving once they come in. She could have been a bit more friendly as I was on my way out of the court anyways. Maybe next time "Hey we are about to have bootcamp and the gym will be closed". Respect and kindness goes a long way, starting to regret coming back to this gym.

Pretty good Y. The weight room is very good. Basketball court is good. The pools are nice. Lots of activities for adults and kids. Child watch is awesome. It seems like they have lots of issues with the steam room and hot tub. I wish they had a towel service and better maintained the locker rooms. Can get pretty gross fast in the men's room. As for waco though this is the best rec center for families.
