This review is for the youth sports. Soccer in particular, the YMCA leagues have zero organization. They charge you for a league with coaching but have no coaches and no organization. You sign up and then get endless text messages, it’s utter chaos until they finally find a parent and then that parent doesn’t even show up to half the games and doesn't communicate that they won’t be there. This happened with both teams we were in this year, kids two years apart. Do not advertise a league and charge more than anyone else if you don’t have coaches. It really isn't about the money I would pay more for a good league it's the fact they charge at all for what is provided. The jerseys are provided by sponsors, the coaches don't get paid and they supposedly provide kids with trophies so they can remember the experience, but those were not provided either. I would never put either child back in any league run by the YMCA in Myrtle Beach. It was utterly pathetic and embarrassing.

Great location. Very nice staff. Facility very nice with activities for everyone. You just got to get there, sometimes that's the biggest challenge. If this info helps, like the review. Be Safe

Truly a great (and clean) place, from top to bottom ergonomic and pleasant. I've been going here 6 days a week since October and it has became a place and group of people I simply could not do without. A wide variety of machines, classes and people with one common goal and positive outlook. Staff and members are all lovely and very friendly. Young, Old and all mesh well and never fail to make one another smile or to help eachother out.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Questions & Answers

I have membership at Y of Central MA and enjoy the Power Hour and Silver Sneakers program. Is my membership transferable, allowing me access to your facility?

Cecile Tousignant | Oct 4, 2019
Christopher Babcock | Oct 4, 2019

Most Y's have some form of reciprocity. You'll want to contact each Y individually to find out how they handle visiting Y members. At the Claire Chapin Epps Y they allow visiting Y members to do a day pass for $5 per adult. They also accept Silver sneakers insurance participants and Silver & Fit insurance participants. You'll want to call them to find out what fees, if any, may be associated with your visits.

Do you have a discount for 65 & older?

I'm interested in joining. I'm a disabled vet at 90%. Are there any programs that can lower my monthly dues?

Matt Casale | Feb 5, 2022
M. Terrie Stewart | Feb 5, 2022

Yes... and classes for all, with/without physical limitations.

Why would you charge Y members money to visit your Y when there is a reciprocity system in place & they're supposed to get in for free? Or do you just totally not accept them all together anymore?

Norma Lafollette | Oct 3, 2020
Angie Holland | Oct 3, 2020

I just joined the gym and was told they do not reciprocate because Myrtle Beach is a high tourist area and they would be overwhelmed with visitors. Unfortunately they don't have the capacity to accommodate.

Kaylyn Morris | Oct 4, 2019
Patricia Spiesman | Oct 4, 2019

Totally overcrowded in the am winter months as we have a lot of "snow birds". The rest of the season is good depending on your time frame. Can't beat most of the classes that are offered for the price.

They have half court with 3 goals open most of the time. An hour here or there the whole court is reserved for something so call ahead or check the online schedule. They leave a bucket of balls in there but rarely have organized groups playing. Saturday and Sunday afternoon sees more group free play. Mostly a younger crowd though.
