Saratoga Regional YMCA

A P

In the past have been a member at a diversity of YMCA’s around the nation ranging from inner-city locations to posh suburbans ones. With the understanding they are trying to serve an enormous cross section of people every day, I feel this one missed some marks. This community is so affluent, and yet something in the design/ execution of this location got tangled. It seems to be somewhat understaffed on the front end, and I hold the Y accountable for this due to the payscale they offer. The fitness center itself is small relative to the building, with equipment so jammed in that social distancing (even just in a cold & flu season, never mind a pandemic) is straight up impossible. Seems millions of dollars were spent and a giant lobby built but someone never thought to build in even a small dedicated stretching area in the gym; requiring members to instead perch awkwardly between the crammed in machines if they don’t want to go to an entirely different floor and stretch in an open aerobics studio. Lastly, the sheer volume of televisions blaring mostly panic-driven news channels, combined with loud/bad music, makes for total overload for anyone who may be dealing with sensory processing disorders, hearing issues, or any one of the myriad other commonplace issues of a community “for all” this organization is meant to serve. Changes are needed. Calm things down and knock down some walls, maybe.

Charged for 30 days after cancellation. Cancelled on line months ago never went thru. Very Frustrating!

I love the Saratoga facility! I haven't been in quite some time. I used all the amenities -swimming pool, then to the hot tub, then made my way into the steam room and sauna! I finished off with a shower and let me tell you, VERY SOUL SOOTHING!!!!! I NEEDED THIS IN MY LIFE! The staff are super friendly and accommodating! I will be returning twice a day at the very least (Well,at least twice a week!!)!!! Thank you, YMCA!!!!

Excellent Staff, Excellent Value We moved here from another state and found the staff to be extremely helpful and interested in our needs. The pool has great swimmer's etiquette and the lifeguards are there to help things run smoothly when the exercise lanes get busy. There are plenty of machines as well as an excellent indoor track. Pricing is very competitive and there are several other "Y's" in the area that will respect the entry credential of this one. They offer i-phone based access, plenty of parking and separate locker rooms for adolescents. Employees are uniformly helpful and responsive. Great job, great attitude, well done!
