Ymca Buffalo Niagara

They have new machines and do a good job keeping the gym clean and up to date being that it's in a really old building. They have great class offerings with a pool, sauna and large gym. My only complaint is that i wish they had better child watch hours as well as air conditioning in summer. It gets really hot in there when you are working out.

It's a nice gym however, the pool has limited time for members and the building has a lot of dust. I understand they're building a new gym, I would be excited to try again at that time.

We took our son here to take swimming lessons and it's like every other YMCA; very friendly and inviting. He loved his swimming classes and we won't hesitate to send him back there when we have more time. They have a gymnasium and a workout center and the staff was always very happy and welcoming.

I love the cardio room and the new equipment; I like the pool and the fact there are several guided swim classes as well as open swim times; I like the variety of activities, from yoga to Zumba, that are offered in multiple levels, from pro to geriatric. The staff is outstanding: friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The facility is always clean.

My daughter comes home every day just beaming about all the cool things she's getting to do all day. She especially loves getting to go swimming every day, and in just the first week lost just about every last bit of being afraid of "big pools." She immediately made lots of friends and as greeted with hugs and smiles every morning. I come home beaming too. Not just because shes so happy, but also because every single member of staff I have met has been chipper, bright, enthusiastic and above and beyond helpful. I can tell they care about my daughter and that she feels safe and well taken care of every day. The financial aid and extended hours are a lifesaver as well. I already know I will definitely be back next summer with my kiddo, even though this summer's just begun!
