Ymca Northshore Arrowhead

I’ve been a member of this YMCA for a while, but the environment in the group classes has become unbearable due to a recurring hygiene issue. There is a member whose body odor is so overwhelming that it fills half the gym floor, making it difficult for others to breathe or focus on their workout. Multiple people have been visibly distressed and forced to move away to avoid feeling faint. It’s ironic that while he seems to care about oral hygiene (constantly chewing gum), the lack of basic body hygiene and the choice of wearing tank tops only exacerbates the smell. This has seriously impacted the health and well-being of the community. I urge management to enforce a basic hygiene policy for the sake of all members.

Nice spacious facility, and courteous staff! Great for families with kids as they have tons of classes for kids and also an in-center day care for when parents need to get their workout in.

So far my experience here has been great. No wait to check in and the equipment matches what they have at the Bellevue location which makes it easy to be consistent. Multiple indoor courts, pool, free weights, cardio + strength training as well as a few areas for kids that I didn't check out.

In the shower during the swim class time with little kids around, I have seen on multiple occasions a few guys fully naked in the shower area, while there are private showers available to use. Why? YMCA doesn't do anything about it. It's disgusting really.

Watch your memberships and cancellations. Make sure you get a written cancellation letter or email, because if you don’t pay attention, they will keep charging you forever. They charged us for 3 years even after we requested cancellation at the facility. No refund — just a bunch of people trying to make money for the company
