Reviews of Foglia YMCA (Gym)

I have been going here for 6 years and I love it. The facility is great and the people are even better.

Come get strong! One of the best gyms in the area for weightlifting and strength conditioning. Two full racks with deadlift platforms, two full sets of DBs, lots of benches, and LOTS of machines. All kept in very good condition.

I live between the Foglia YMCA and the Buehler YMCA, but I frequent Foglia the most. The staff is wonderful, the equipment is in top shape. The pool is great, and the expanded basketball court rocks. My only complaint is the locker rooms. I wish they had carpet & stools like the Buehler YMCA ... the benches at Foglia are not as useful, and the tile floor is always wet & dirty even though maintenance mops it at least twice a day.

Great gym and membership benefits, but a little pricey for what you get. Parking usually isn't an issue, which is good.

Absolutely terrible experience and uneducated staff! I was extremely disappointed with my recent experience at the Foglia YMCA. My son wanted to attend a teen pool party as a non-member. I made a phone call to specifically ask if I had to personally be there to register him being that we were no members. I was told no that he would pay $15 to enter. We were carpooling so my son went with his friend. My son calls and tells me he was not allowed in because I was not there to register him. Terrible experience!!! Educate your staff! You were very good about putting prices on the flier. You could have mentioned required registration.

I like everything but the fact there are no real windows in the court

I have been going here for about a year now and really enjoy this facility. It offers a well-kept, clean pool. Very good-looking and large basketball gym which has 2 full courts. Sauna which is available all hours that the facility is open. Multiple studios for yoga and cardio. And a great weightlifting area filled with an abundance of free weights, 2 cages, and many benches for pressing or other weight lifting exercises. The only negatives about this place are the hours on weekends (6pm close on Saturday, 5pm close on Sunday) and the potholes in the parking lot. Other than that, the staff and facility are awesome and I would 100% recommend it to friends and family.

Been going to several of the YMCAs for the last year based on work. I can only speak and as someone who useds the weights and cardio equipment predominantly. Overall I have to give this YMCA a 3/5. The staff are very friendly and it's always a pleasure being greeted by and talking with Sue in the late afternoons/early evening at the rear entrance by the locker rooms. So 5/5 for staff. For equipment and they more and better weight training equipment than Sage and Buhler YMCA. Buhler has better/newer cardio however. The treadmill belts on many of them are lose and would just stop while I was running at a higher speed,causing me to lose my balance and almost fall. It's an issue I've mentioned to staff but doesn't seem to have been fixed. The layout of weight equipment is also not the most pleasant, free weights are clustered in one area, but machines and cable equipment is spread out all over that place, makes it hard to do super sets at time. Ellipticals are also spread out between 3 areas. Could have a better use of equipment layout. 3/5 for equipment and layout. Here is where I have my biggest gripe. Since I've been going here then men's locker room has some real troublesome items. There are about a dozen ceiling tiles that are either missing or have significant water damage and bowing. The toilets all have to be double flushed to get a fresh bowl, meaning that unless the person double flushed before they left, you get to see someone else's surprise. The showers are also suffering from neglect. The shower heads struggle with water pressure and the showers hardly get warm, they're usually pretty cold. The parking lots are also absolutely terrible. They're plagued with pot holes and cracks. Some of the pot holes have just been filled in with gravel or a cone as a temporary fixed. 2/5 for general upkeep of the facility.

Out of the local YMCAs, this one is my favorite. I have not taken any of the classes and only use the equipment. The staff has always been friendly and approachable. It's clean and its very extremely rare to find any equipment in disrepair. The pool has always been clean as well as the locker rooms/showers.. Every public place will always have negatives, here like any gym you will find the occasional user dropping weights (grunt grunt grunt), not clearing off or returning equipment, but this has been my experience with the gyms I've used.

Probably one of the worse YMCAs in the area at calling you back or customer service

Why progressively charge more for a membership if you are going to decrease closing hours every 6 months? Ive been a member since 2012, and problems only started beginning about a year and a half ago. The staff at the YMCA are uneducated and down right rude, yelling at you if you were to even step foot in a court when a practice for the Y league is going on. Had one of the staff members yell at me for simply dribbling by the bleachers. Made me cancel my membership just recently because of it.

Overall, the YMCA is a great place, between the courts, studios, pool, and workout equipment it has it all. One of my friends is also a team lead there and is always super friendly when he sees me and willing to help out or give advice if needed. Only reason this is not a 5/5 is I had a run in with one of the women at the service desk who would not help with retrieving a referral code for my friend, my mom was working during at time, and the household account is set up through her, and was on the phone and she refused to talk to her. Shortly after I asked the woman on the other side of the desk to help and she pulled up the code without a problem. After getting the code, the first woman who wouldn’t help us had the other associate do pretty much the whole job, and after I inquired about the total price for my friend signing up she said “You don’t need to be here anymore, you can go now,” in a rude fashion. For an orgranization that encourages you to bring your friends to become members, I was very disgusted by the lack of respect I felt by the employee and how difficult it was for my friend to sign up. After being a member for several years in my childhood and later returning as a member for around 8 months, the experience will not be forgotten.

Absolutely love this place. Their workout equipment and their staff is great. If you ever need help in the workout area ask for Chris. He is jacked, easy to connect with, and knows what he's talking about. For lifters of all ages he gives solid advice to help you get your gains. The pool is nice and the basketball courts are almost always available. They have Snyder's of Hanover Honey Mustard and Onion in their vending machines which is a plus. Overall great place

I have loved coming here for years but recently had an incident with the staff trying to get a guest pass for a friend who was thinking about joining and wanted to check out the facility and see how the basketball court was, after being told he needed to be 18 or needed a parents permission to use the facility (which is understandable) we decided to leave not wanting to bother his parents who work during the day, which the staff member in a rude tone called "extremely suspicious"... I was very offended by this comment being a member who pays and am considering ending my membership. I felt attacked and my friend and his family will not be joining either after this unnecessarily rude experience.

Love this YMCA! The water aerobics classes with Abbe are the best I have ever been to! She puts together amazing choreographed classes with music. She has a wonderful caring spirit and always worries about each and every class member! I highly recommend Abbe and all the water aerobic classes at the Y!

I've been a member at the YMCA since 2005... All the employees are rude now and don't even give you the time of day, closes earlier now. & even some days the whole facility isn't open. Recommend LA Fitness to people who are serious about getting fit/healthy!

In my opinion i thought this Gym was very impressive and the best in the suburban area. The main reason i say this is because my main level of interest is to lift weights and I think their weight room is a fine of the art room and is definitely the best part of the YMCA. So to me, everything was great the couple months I've been there. Another great part is the Locker Room. Speaking as a male, it had great space but the big issue was the size of them. You could only fit your flute in there and that's about it. I've never went swimming there so i can't tell you much about the pool. From reading some comments below, everyone is complaining about the Customer Service. Recently I had a problem with an older gentleman harassing me in the weight room. I told one of the staff members and they quickly came to my defense and made sure everything is okay. So either they cleaned up the staff or the people below me didn't give the gym enough of a chance. Anyhow, I definitely recommend this gym especially if you love to Lift Weights like I do.

The staff is always friendly. Their pool is very large and fun to play in. Their gym is also very large and has a decent rock climbing wall.
