YMCA of the USA

I finally joined I gym I actually go to lol. I enjoy it. Not too crowded, and the steam room and sauna are a good size. I enjoy that the treadmills have a river view while you’re using them. The staff is extremely nice. There’s a lot of variety and I like that.

We just found out that YMCA is requiring kids 5 and over to show vaccination cards to access the facility. We have three foster kids we enrolled in Swim lessons that we now need to break their hearts. How unprofessional that an organization first of all at the end of November charged me a flat joiner fee of $95 to join the Y and just now they just decided you need vaccination cards? Plus they will not refund any of that money since we have to stop. The Y had to know a month and a half ago this was coming down the pipelines. Plus our Y had three weeks during which pool was closed for maintenance and they will not refund ANY of that money even though we pay $56 a month for each kid for 4 week sessions. Update—-We have been told they are putting this policy on hold temporarily until March 14, 2022. But all adults must be vaccinated as of Feb 1.

I had the misfortune of working at Y-USA headquarters. There was a “conference center” that was a complete failure. It was one half a floor with 4 conference rooms & 2 break out rooms. There were no private restrooms for meeting attendees and no full service kitchen for meals. Meeting attendees shared the same 3 bathroom stalls with staff. There was no way to keep the catered meals hot. I have a background in meeting planning and had used the services of a conference center before. I knew how a conference center should operate. The Y-USA conference center was a mess. Management was also a joke. They didn’t take employees concerns seriously. Working there gave me such a negative opinion of the entire YMCA network. I’ll never support a YMCA or step foot inside one.

Your Flint, MI location on Pierson road displays reserved lap swim times from 5-5:50p daily but does not and refuses to reserve the pool during that time for lap swim. We brought this up to staff that about 6 people were waiting on lanes and asked if they would reserve the pool as theu suggest they do online and they said no and to write a complaint.
