    Nice community center where I come to play badminton during the weekends. It costs $4 to play from…read more3 pm to 5 pm, which is an awesome price, considering many other places charge anywhere from $6 to $8. There are 3 courts for badminton, and the same space is used for other sports. There is also a running track upstairs where you can run 19 laps, which is equivalent to 1 mile. There's also a nice swimming pool, along with an area for ping pong. I heard there is a workout room somewhere, but I have still yet to explore the rest of the facility. Just today I discovered some music rooms downstairs!!!! This community center keeps surprising me with new discoveries lol. The quality of this place is not too new, but it's not falling apart either. It is nicely maintained. The best part.... free parking lol.

    This centre is a hub in the community. The staff are helpful and down to earth and costs are very…read morefair, given its a city centre. There's a small but smart weight room, great pool, gym with a new floor and lots of multipurpose and studio space. For new parents, families new to the area, or anyone who wants to get or stay active, it's the perfect place. My only criticism ever was with the kids karate instructor. He seems to like to make kids cry, seems to have a chip on his shoulder and in general isn't that good at karate. That's one minus in 3 years of pluses, so whatever.

    Some things never change... And the downtown Hamilton YMCA is one of those timeless dumps. More…read morethan ten years later, this place is the same dilapidated sinkhole people call "a gym". The hallways make you feel like you're walking through a psychiatric ward and the locker room makes you feel like you were time-warped to the '90s. The lockers are small and rancid: imagine the smell of curry body odour and old man crotch straps. Barf! I was there for a run, but couldn't wait to escape! Menu - N/A Food - N/A Drink - N/A Hours - 5 stars: It's open 7 days a week, 365 days a year, even on holidays, that's pretty sweet, if you have absolutely nothing to do except go to the YMCA on a holiday. They open at 5:30 AM and close at 10:00 PM on weekdays, weekend and holiday hours vary. Not bad. Location - 5 stars: Not sure if the location actually gets 5 stars or 1. You're right in the heart of downtown Hamilton - ugh, a reaction that, for most people, would be a mix between spontaneous vomiting and a sense of nostalgia for "Old Hamilton". Wait Time - N/A Service - 4 stars: Thank god, the attendant who signed me up for the one day pass had decent manners. She was polite, sensible, and knew what she was doing. This is a rarity in a jungle of hill billy folks wandering the streets of downtown like "The Walking Dead". Venue/Vibe - 1 star: I did not feel safe! From the locker room to the gym, I was clutching my wallet for dear life - no kidding. You will see eyes dart over your valuables. Keep your wallet and phone near you and do not put them in your locker - it's not safe! Cleanliness - 1 star: If I could draw a picture representing the YMCA, it would be a toxic dump. From the lockers to the gym equipment to the hallways and rooms, it looks filthy. You would think that they would invest in renovating this place, guess not. Washrooms - 1 star: A birthplace for Hamilton cockroaches, the toilets and showers are also the perfect place to get your next plantar wart. If you have to pee - or heaven forgive, poop, you'll be sorry if you've got any relief here. Hold on tight. House Rules - N/A Cost - 3 stars: $11 for a one-day pass for the gym, including lockers, sauna, cardio equipment and weights. $1 extra for towels, but towels stunk even before using it - gross. I suppose you get what you get for a "poor man's" gym membership. X factor - 1 star: The only thing special about downtown Hamilton's YMCA is that it's a great place to get robbed when you go for a work out. Even if you dodge the thieves, try avoiding the ancient-dust-gathering gym equipment or landfill locker rooms. Downtown Hamilton YMCA, you need to clean up your act - big time. I came here for swimming classing in the '90s and came today for a workout in your gym; nothing has changed. Splash a coat of fresh paint, update your equipment, renovate your locker rooms; just invest in your gym! What are you doing with all those membership fees for the last two decades? For Yelpers, avoid this "gym" like your trashy ex; this place is a slimy disappointment and makes you wonder why you even considered coming here. Go elsewhere!

    Staff friendly, trainers knowledgeable helpful. Equipment satisfied, classes excellent. Prices…read moreare very high, even with assisted low income membership, with ten percent increase every twelve months fifty two weeks my membership is over forty dollars a month, cant imagine how much for non assisted. I am with rymal road highway fifty three location between upper james and wentworth. Luckily i have funding that allows me to continue, otherwise i would switch to world gym or similar for ten dollars per month or twenty with classes and personal trainers. Please make affordable memberships
