Reviews of YMCA (Golf)

Venice Simpson

Love the YMCA. They have great instructors and a wide variety of classes to choose from. Prices are reasonable and they offer child care at the Lake Otis branch. They have classes for Adults AND children. Can’t love this place enough.

Only one star for Soutside Dimond YMCA. Very rude management staff. No one follows the rules: there are people who go in the pool without taking a shower, or swim with clothes on. And also in the hot tub, people go in it naked. Speaking of the hot tub, it hasn't been fixed for three whole weeks! This place is very filthy, unclean, and really unhygienic! We found a used pad in the women's locker room on the floor, and the whole floor in the steam room was covered in hair! In addition, there was a woman sitting down on the floor in the locker room, who was dying her hair. Maybe the laundry drier was also broken, because the towels they gave us were wet and soggy and a had brown patches! Everyone does wat they want, and again they don't follow any rules at all! I am very disappointed about this place!

Desk workers are rude and are always disgusted at everyone

Second star is for the building & pool only! I went to join the YMCA, however, experienced Unwelcoming staff, lacking basic knowledge about the YMCA membership, wasn’t even offered a tour.

This Y has a salt water pool, and it is well managed. Steam room is now open, and the varied exercise equipment is well maintained. Roomy locker room has plenty of showers, and is also clean. Free towels for the asking. What’s not to like?

Great place, clean, good equipment, nice staff. You'll enjoy your experience with the family.

Used the YMCA for after school care and summer program and would not EVER do again. Staff was on their phones or talking with each other instead of watching the kids. A few of the kids should have been kicked out for fighting or cussing, and don't call DAVE or KARI to resolve the incidence cause they would not call back. A few times I had o go up there and the two knew nothing. For the price I paid I was sadly disappointed in the companies lack of care, guidance and support for the youth. One star is being generous.

I've been here 4 times with my mom and sister so it is awesome

Update - I had only good things to say until my daughter starts getting sick, after being in childcare for just an hour, my kid sneezed 18 times in 20 minutes after I picked her up and had a runny nose. They are exposing her to something and I can't get management to respond to my inquiries. Before drop off, my daughter had no runny nose or sneezing for 4 days at least. We have a dog and walk around with the pollen, etc. That's what they tried to tell me when I brought it to their attention. At any rate, the excessive sneezing and nose running would not start if she picked up something after only an hour of exposure. 06/03/2019 This gym is awesome because you get so much out of your membership. Great showers, lockers, always working athletic equipment with free weights and machines, a good sized pool too. There are some free classes if you want and community potlucks sometimes. The childcare is great for parents. The ladies always take good care of kiddos.

Great place to work out. It has exercise equipment, A swimming pool, sauna, free classes with a membership. There is lock already on the lockers. Free tea and coffee and super friendly staff. There is also a low income application if you need that. It's the best gym in Anchorage! Maybe even the best in Alaska!

All I can say is Wow! This isn't my normal gym but its super close to my house and I dropped in for a quick visit/workout today for the first time since early last year. Last time I was hear everything was fairly worn out and ran down, the whole place was just kinda dingy. Since then it has been given one serious overhaul! When I went in today the whole place was laid out different. The old worn out gym equipment has been fixed or replaced with all new top line stuff. The view of the mountain from huge glass Windows while working out on the second floor is second to none! Words fall short of the differences between this place last year and its current state!

Decent gym and roomy workout area.

This ymca has many rules specific to this location. It is unlike any Y I've ever been to. I don't like this Y or the arbitrary rules.

Slade Wirth

This facility rocks! Staff is friendly, locker rooms well maintained an very user friendly for people with hectic schedules. Added bonus it on the #2 bus route. Yay!!!

I was a member of the Lake Oatis Y and loved it, but it was not close to my house. So, when I saw the diamond Y opened I was thrilled, until I went. It is the stereotype of a Y. Unclean, with dingy carpet everywhere. They charge 15 for a day pass and if you decide you want to become a member after the day they do not apply the 15 to the month. The staff were not as awesome as the Y across town. Kids were running wild and jumping and diving into the small pool, wild, out of control. And I love kids! I was there with my 2.5 year old and thought the life guard would have attempted to encourage pool etiquette. I did like that the pools were Much warmer than the other Y’s. And my two year old of course loved it and didn’t notice any of the things that annoyed me. I think with more staff training and a few upgrades this place has a lot of potential. They need to work out the silly pricing details, like the one I named above. And they do punch cards, but they use a 1/2 punch for toddlers, even though a toddler is free with a day pass or membership

I mainly use the Lake Otis location, and I absolutely LOVE their gym. I love all the things they offer at such a reasonable price. My children come with me often and I am able to work out while they are in the rock gym or in the daycare section, I trust my children with the staff there 100%! All so friendly and show true passion for my needs anytime I need assistance. The winter hours are awesome for my children for open swim, we are able to swim before or after dinner for as long as we want verse typical 1 hour- 2 hour open swim time increments at other places. I can't say enough about the YMCA. You can clearly notice the changes they make and take their customers feedback seriously. I always recommend them to my friends whenever they ask about referrals to a local gym!

Dan Main

I really do not like the loud radio, complete with commercials, in the public wieght room. And the large exercise class makes it hard to get to equipment

Chaitanya Borade

Bad customer service and rude front desk workers. Half the things at the gym are broken most the time. When the gym was closed for over 2 weeks due to flooding no refunds were made.

Azalia Isenhart

I go to the Y for my aurthritis class the instructor is very nice. The exercises are great n specifically geared for those suffering from arthritis. The people there are nice.

Sean Ryan

The YMCA recently upgraded and remodels a lot of the building. Enjoy bringing the kids to B Ball. They also have Gym equipment and pool.

Wonderful staff and a very community centered atmosphere. The equipment is great and recently updated and renovated.

This is a good place to work out. The prices are very good compared to the other gyms in the area. They have a basketball court, sauna, swimming pool, and decent amount of cardio equipment and weights. The hours of operation are really convenient and the people that work there are nice. I have absolutely no complaints about this place and would recommend it to anybody who needs a local gym to work out at.
