Ymca of Greater Dayton Kleptz Branch

I go here because of the therapy pool. I'm not taking advantage of the other things that are offered but the therapy pool is my prescription on Sunday. you just have to go earlier if you don't want to be there with a bunch of kids

Decent gym , very clean with lots of equipment. It's open 24 hours all days but Saturday and Sunday. The night staff are very nice . I'm bummed that I can't use my ymca pass at the Greenville location . They have restrictions.

My first impression of the Englewood YMCA was not good. I asked if I could briefly walk the facility just to see what all it had to offer. Mind you I was dressed in a suit being as I just got off work. The older lady at the front desk told me I had to be accompanied by the gentleman in the weight room as if I were going to just start using all the equipment in a suit and tie. I get in there tell the gentleman what she said and he just looked at me a bit perplexed and did not understand why I needed him. Then I told him what she said we exchange a knowing look after that and he said just go checkout what you want. Fast forward, I have a Y membership and I primarily use it to play basketball. I have an entire home gym so I really don't need to use tread mills and weight machines. Every single time I come to the court to play basketball it is taken up by pickle ball, zoomba fitness and whatever other nonsense they have going on. They only have open gym for the basketball court for an hour or two in the morning and late at night. So the entire court is used for everything but basketball. On top of that it seems to be poorly maintained. The floors are always slippery with no grip making twisting ankles and ligaments a high chance as well as uneven flooring with dips. It seems to be the same way with the pool as well. Every single time I asked about it because I wanted to teach my children to swim they had something going on where I couldn't use it. They also seem to hound us when the time for open gym is about over. Yet they never hound the pickle ball players. Most likely because of the age difference and they assume that the elderly that play pickle ball will just respect the rules. However they don't always and sometimes 10-15 minutes after its suppose to be open gym and they still have the nets in the way of the court. Over all the YMCA isn't bad. Its a decent family oriented place. They have daycare options as well which I used once or twice only for my children to get lice. That was lovely. Basically this gym is just okay. You are better off getting a planet fitness membership for 15 bucks a month rather than paying more than double that to go to the YMCA. Especially if you are like me and just use it for the basketball court since its quite literally never open for actual basketball players. They should be able to fill a smaller room with pickle ball equipment and not have to take up the entire basketball court or maybe expand their gym with another court because it's quite ridiculous as a hooper to never be able to hoop.

I am very disappointed with the lack of respect for the therapy pool schedule at this YMCA location. The aquarobics classes repeatedly or start earlier than posted or take over the pool during times that are clearly reserved for other members. What makes the situation worse is the attitude of the aquarobics trainer, who has been rude when asking to leave - even when the schedule is being ignored. This creates a waste of time and a hostile environment for members. I expect the YMCA to enforce its own schedule, train staff to communicate respectfully, and ensure that members with valid reservations are not pushed out of the pool due to a wrong schedule.

Facility doesn't enforce certain timeframes for open gym, for example I walk in today November 19th and pickle ball had the whole gym space when it was on the schedule to be cleaned up and over at 2 and then open gym starts. Not to mention if these were kids playing basketball or even a young adult like myself they would be giving us 10 min and 5 min warnings to clean up and leave immediately which isn't fair because the pickleball players get no warnings like this to clean up and get out immediately the adverse discrimination towards the younger generation and using the open gym is terrible. Things like this mess everyone's schedule up for instance today I have class at 3:30 and I figured I could play basketball for 45min to a hour and head to class, now I drove all the way here to see this... unacceptable because I make the drive to do what's on the schedule for the day and it doesn't work out because the front desk and employees don't care. Unacceptable.
