Ymca Of Greater Houston Area - Harvey Brown

I can't review other locations, but I've been a member of the downtown Y for many years. As someone who has been a fitness enthusiast my whole life and has trained in gyms all over the country, I can tell you that the downtown Y has one of the worst managed weight rooms you will ever see. The equipment is poorly maintained, most of the members have little or no idea what they are doing, and the majority of people who workout there are clueless about even the most basic gym edicate. It is not uncommon for a member to occupy a piece of equipment for 20 minutes with 18 of those minutes consisting of texting or watching videos on their phone. When someone who is serious about their fitness asks to work in, more times than not the kid on the machine impolightly declines. The gym rules clearly prohibit phone use in the weight room and require that those doing multiple sets allow other members to work in. Yet when the staff is asked about enforcing the gyms own published rules and policies you get the deer in the headlights stare and no action other than a possible shrug. If it weren't for the fact that my wife likes walking on the track I'd cancel my membership in a heartbeat, save the $120 per month membership fee and join the better equiped and better managed Planet Fitness for $15/month.

This is a nice place to daily dose of fitness exercise. It has excellent gym equipment, courts for several kinds of racquet ball, swimming pools, children’ s play and day care, a jogging track …

Whenever I go, the family pool is closed and the employees have no idea about each other. The management is terrible, I'm sure you can find better ones around.

Shout out to Brice/Bryce and the Perry Family YMCA. This place is incredible. Thanks for loving your neighbor and doing the best job possible to keep your gym safe during the pandemic. Everything was thought out from the reservation system, temperature checks, and the clean cards on each machine. All staff were wearing a mask, and at least 2 people cleaning machines. Bryce was even cleaning the step up on the machines! He was kind and courteous. Thanks for a clear vision Perry Famy YMCA

Charing the same price but limited hours, limited equipment, limited facilities, and some things aren't even open. Also you have to reserve like everything? It's a pool filled with chlorine but you still have to reserve? They are only open for 4 hrs on the weekend too. How are they still charging near full price for membership? I will stick with the alternative gym I found when they shut down and then refused to give updates on when they were opening for 6 months and continued to charge their members.
