pleasant staff. great pickle ball courts... new equipment... wish the hours were even later in the evenings.

They don't keep the facility clean, and the sauna and steam room are often out of order. Every time I park in the garage, I get out of my car and there's garbage there. Sometimes it's hard to step around it! That says just as much about some of the clientele as it does about the staff. Maybe the YMCA can't afford cleaners? It can be a really filthy place, as other reviewers have mentioned. Even the tennis courts usually have lots of fuzz and debris on them. On the positive side, the coaches/trainers are super nice, and the staff at the desk are polite, even if they are not too proactive or interactive. read more

I have seen all phases of this gym going back to the 90s when it was the much higher end Healthplex. The women's locker room has finally been updated after almost 27ish years. The hot tub exterior walls were removed so it's all open to the pool area now (for safety). Inner walls were constructed so the hot tub isn't part of the locker room/ shower area anymore. Bathing suit is required for the hot tubs. No more towels, you have to bring your own. The gym is more stripped down and basic feeling since the Y took over. No more broken water fountains, clogged sinks, gross showers. A lot less tvs on the cardio floor. The best thing about this Y is the open space. It never feels crowded anymore. I recently went to Paoli and their cardio floor is so packed and tight. Indoor track is still amazing as the 90s. 5 laps is a mile, it's the biggest indoor track I've ever seen. No one looks where they are going. That is my biggest annoyance. Teens walking with their faces buried in their phones. read more

So nice and clean and a good place to just hang out and swim share with friend. N family

Overall enjoy this gym. Friendly staff, nice equipment, could use more mirrors... That part doesn't make sense to me. Wish they would clean the women's sauna it's filthy... Clumps of hair, trash and dirt all over. read more

We belong to rocky run and wanted to check out Springfield Y because it's much closer. Showed up a bit after 5 and was turned away because "they don't check people in after 5." What a shame- we would have liked to potentially switch but the logic and rudeness behind this "policy" isn't our thing. The place is atrociously dirty as well. We'll suck it up for the 15 mins to rocky run read more

I see that the reviews published are from 9 and ten years ago. Yes, the Hsopital system was purchased by Prospect Holdings and the whole system was neglected, including the Healthplex, as it was once named. The gym was taken over by the YMCA just before Covid struck and it was cleaned and repaired and the machines were upgraded and replaced. It is very lively now, with classes for all ages, from seniors to tiny children. I am a senior and my health insurance pays for membership. I find the aerobic type classes in the exercise pool very helpful. The staff is friendly. It can be crowded but it is a huge facility and maybe you have to learn when it is a good time for your needs. The lively use tells me that people like to use the Y. read more

I remember what this place was like when it was the Healthplex. It was the best game in town second to none...Since it has been taken over by the YMCA it has taken an extreme nose dive. Management is non-existent and so are the lockerroom attendants who are supposed to keep it clean and hygienic. The place is filthy dirty. Mold and mildew everywhere, especially downstairs. Hasn't had a proper cleaning since it was the Healthplex. Used Bandaids laying around the floors of the hot tub and visible buildup of mold and mildew everywhere in the showers. Nasty people in the lockerroom trim their body hair and there were several hairballs on the floor the size of baseballs. They sat on the floor for a week before someone decided to clean it up (probably a guest). Last week someone urinated on the carpet in the locker room (probably a disgruntled guest). It was reported but because the staff is careless and lazy they decided to spray some deodorizer on it and call it a day! GROSS!! It still smells like urine in that area to this day. Tom Gallagher is the director of this facility and should bow his head in shame. There's no reason why these things should be going on. They had plenty of time to get this place in order since it was taken over. They just don't care about people's safety or else the place wouldn't be a health hazard. So many people who were members for over a decade decided to leave and now I see why. Those people are being replaced by new people who have no respect for the facility or others. Such a shame..If I thought this place was going to improve I would consider staying. But it continues to get worse. Time to find a new gym! read more

The front desk people are very pleasant to me. Jayme is first to say hello when entering. The Y is a supportive community and Jayme and team certainly succeed at that. read more

The staff at the pool are rude and the place showers and hot tub and pool are dirty!!

First, the positive. With few exceptions the instructors (spin, TRX, etc.) are fantastic, and most classes are included in membership fee. Personal trainers are extra, but worth it if you have the money and don't mind pain. And the facility has almost everything you'd need: pool, tennis courts, squash courts, indoor track, basketball courts, weights, machines, hot tub, sauna, steam room, cold plunge, showers, lockers, childcare, etc. Finally, at least for me, it's really close. There are increasing number of negatives, however. As almost all other reviews point out, the place is falling apart. The roof above the indoor track leaks so whenever it rains you have to dodge all the buckets that are deployed (and it's freezing in there). Cardio and weight machines are often broken and sometimes have "being fixed!" signs attached for months. There are hundreds of more cosmetic issues, too, like ripped carpets, broken mirrors, and strange stains on the walls. These cosmetic issues shouldn't change the quality of your workout but there's something about seeing everything held together by old duct tape that drains my energy level a tad. People having conversations on cell phones is also an issue, though perhaps that's true at all clubs these days. It just seems that the Healthplex has a high percentage of alpha males who conduct business deals (real estate, stocks) over the phone and who think the rest of the gym would benefit from the hearing the details. They are loud and laugh off staff who try to quiet them. Management seems loathe to intervene out of fear of losing members. I take headphones even though I don't find them comfortable to wear. It might not be a problem for everyone, but another negative for me is that Fox News is almost always blasting away in the men's locker room ... just too much yelling for me. Given the conversations I overhear in various parts of the gym, I think majority of members are fans of Fox News so maybe gym is just trying to please the majority (I get that). That explanation would fit with the apparent age demographics (older, male) of the Healthplex, which initially (I think) served as physical therapy offshoot for the attached Springfield Hospital. Locker room is fine, though some of the showers seem to lack hot water. One perk for the daring is complimentary deodorant in unlabeled spray bottles. Not sure why they even provide it. Perhaps it's a hint. And there's lots of couch space around the television, plus a faux leather recliner. FYI (and TMI), it's not an infrequent site to see a completely naked person on the couch, though presumably he's recently showered. One can hope, at least. I've also seen men asleep on the recliner. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Also, naked guys shaving, resting against sink. In other gyms guys seem to cover themselves in towels. When in Rome, I guess. Broadly, I get the sense (from looking at faces and hearing snippets of conversations) that employees are deeply unhappy with management and that the facility is always on brink of insolvency. Seems less crowded than in previous years so I'm guessing it's bleeding members to local gyms that are 1/4 the price and have a more upbeat vibe. There's also probably a few deaths every year -- I see some people for years ... and then they just stop coming. I've never seen anyone just keel over, though. I think the manager is keenly aware of building issues, equipment age, and demography imbalance. He's probably making changes and improvements that members can't see, but one action that's apparent and troubling to me is the use of Twitter and Facebook ads that feature a completely different gym, one that is gleaming and has modern, unbroken equipment. The ads also tend to feature young female models from Shutterstock's "Sporty Girl" collection, not actual members of the gym. I mention this because the women in the ads are often shown with midriff-revealing athletic tops ... which are banned at the actual Healthplex. I think the photographs are from a gym in Novi Sad, Serbia, near the Danube. I hope to go there someday. I'm wondering whether the California holding company that owns the Healthplex is trying to find a buyer and just doesn't want to put any money into a property that is already in debt. read more

I've never seen worse hours at a YMCA let alone any gym, now it opens up 3 hours after work starts then closes an hour before works end. Being forced to switch gyms now, also is closed on weekends absurd. read more

Joined for a Month in December with my wife while visiting family. Called to cancel after they charged us for January as well after we were no longer in the state. I did not get reimbursed for January but instead was charged for February, March, April and May totaling $520. Finally received a call back today (May 24th) saying they would finally cancel my membership but WOULD NOT REIMBURSE ME! Before the state was shut down my wife and I were able to work out three times before the state was shut down. Springfield YMCA stole $520 from my family. There are multiple other gyms in Springfield or the Delco area that have the same if not better equipment and a much more professional staff. read more

Clean, well equipped, responsive management, great classes, collegial ever-present staff, love this place!

Healthplex continues to be a great gym. I will agree with several Yelpers that customer satisfaction has undergone a downtick in the past year. Not enough to change my rating... yet... Over the past two and a half years, I have also been under the training of one of the best trainers I've ever seen, Andrew. As my favorite pastime is snow skiing, we devised a pre-ski training regime which we activate three months before the ski season and continues throughout the ski season, with core, agility and balance training exercises along with legs and coordination. We go back to strength training later on in the year. My ski season last year was noticeable improved with his counsel. I am keeping him and would highly recommend him. As to the physical plant, the Healthplex is undergoing an upgrade to the men's shower area which is quite welcome. Still, immaculate. read more

Management is non existent. Not one but both sauna's are constantly broken down. Clearly there are water leaks/stains everywhere. Pickleball courts are chaotic during after school hours. Tile work done by staff members that clearly don't know what they're doing. Honestly a very rough transition from the healthplex to YMCA read more

I was a member of the club when it was called Springfield Healthplex and the reason I had left was because it was dirty then along with no spotters to make sure that the customers used the right locker rooms. I told them customers were putting their small children in the hot tub which is for people over 18 years of age. Then the mother's would say that they wouldn't use the Family Locker Room because it was too small. That was not my problem. The had 3 Locker Room. Men, Ladies, and Family for Mom & Dad and children. Also every time it rained the ceiling to the indoor track would leak. I told the Manager this is why I was leaving the Healthplex Club. You are better off buying a indoor bicycle and working out at home. read more

I have been going to this gym on and off since I was a teenager(since around 2010). In the 90s it was the primary practice facility for the Philadelphia 76ers and it is built like it. It is an enormous facility built onto the Springfield crozer hospital. It has free parking garage access just feet away from the front entrance. The facility is 3 floors. The main floor being an entrance area, daycare/kid camp area, and a very large basketball court(like I said... 76ers). The bottom consists of the pool(1 lap pool and a small child/therapy pool) 3 locker rooms(male/female/family) and a handful of racquetball/squash courts. The top floor is the primary workout area. There is a large workout area with everything from fixed weights to cardio equipment. Attached to that is a studio, a therapy area and the tennis courts/track/separate free weight area. This area(entirely indoors) is a set of regulations-sized tennis courts surrounded by a 1/5 mile track. The newest addition to this area is" the yard". "The yard" is an area that was formerly a tennis court that has been modified to be a separate free-weight area. There is also another former court that is covered with turf for group exercises/kid play. There is a ton going on with this facility and a lot to unpack with it so I will be as brief as I can be. The Y was actually gifted this facility in late 2019. The company that owned it prior had taken the facility for granted and turned over an awful product to the Y. For years the "Healthplex" was not properly maintained, enrollment fees were sky high, and it was basically being set up to either be abandoned or repurposed as something other than a gym. The following link is a news article from 1997 and goes over the problems with mismanagement from the beginning. https://apnews.com/article/89926a2f531f6d756d6a03fea2105ea6 When I first became a member in 2010 there was a massive dispute because the gym refused to enforce rules regarding male and female members refusing to wear clothing through all areas of locker rooms. Children were accidentally being exposed to this and the gym at the time decided to sweep it under the rug for years and instead chose to blame parents for bringing children into the locker rooms(you had to go through a locker room to get to the pools, there was a tiny, single family use family locker room that couldn't facilitate all members at that time). I cannot stress enough how much the "healthplex" was poorly managed. With a facility built in 1996 you can expect some dating. The locker rooms and pool area are 25 years old. The locker rooms are in need of an overhaul. The only way to explain some parts of the facility is "gross". This place is so big and there is so much going on that the Y doesn't really know how to make it work quite yet. They have a spinning room in an old squash court. They put classrooms for schooling/camp on the basketball and racquetball courts. Figuring out where things should go permanently is integral to the future of the gym. "The yard" is a great start on getting this place right. It needs to be a bit bigger with some more equipment, but it's an incredible addition. 90% of the workout equipment is brand new. It's a great place for beginner-intermediate weight lifters. The company that built the gym was hemorrhaging money and couldn't manage the gym to save their lives so the pawned it off on the Y. The Y is making some great improvements. With time, proper funding, and proper management, I believe this gym will once again become one of the best workout facilities in the region. In short, an awesome gym going through a very rocky transition. It has so much potential it is unreal. It is not awfully expensive and for the most part you are left alone(unless you blatantly break gym rules). I recommend it fully but it is far from perfect. read more

Great facility, staff members are very kind and helpful!

I want to love the space for what it's always almost offering. But the management is questionable. I went into the women's locker room once and it smelled intensely of urine. I spoke to the front desk, went to work out and an hour later I returned And the front didn't follow up on it because their manager was on a break. I filed a complaint and never got a response call. I was really sad to see the towel shortage this week - I went into the gym to find all shower towels were out of stock. All towels. This is one amenity which I pay for- without it I may be going to Planet Fitness for $60 less a month. Additionally every stair machine was down - so overall just a really shitty Maibtenance. The steam room also concerns me. It smells pretty bad in there. The facility staff are actually more friendly and concerned then the front desk. read more

I like the y but I wish they had a volleyball net. They have so many tennis courts but not one net to play volleyball on.

Mine is a mixed rating. First the good. 4 stars for the facility. It's huge with an indoor track, tennis court, etc. The hours are great. The people are friendly. I've spent many an evening here; it's been my refuge. Next the bad. 2 stars for cleanliness. The facility is falling behind on maintenance. Repairs are slowwww, as in slower than a 1 legged dog on tranquilizers. As a result, the men's locker room smells like, well, a locker room. The floor tile is coming up. There's black something or other on the ceilings. The railings in the hallway could use a touch-up. How difficult is that? Sorry Healthplex, I love you but you haven't been taking care of yourself lately. Hope things improve. read more

We have been really happy at the Springfield Y. My son and I utilize the tennis courts often and we love the clinics they offer.

The Springfield YMCA used to be the hospital's Healthplex. As the Healthplex, it had become run-down and apparently rather dirty because of poor maintenance And zero investment. The YMCA took it over in early 2020 (just in time for the pandemic to hit!). The place was then renovated and outfitted with new equipment by Precor. It's a very comprehensive facility, which has more equipment than the Rocky Run Y, which is also a very good gym. My only dislike is that some of the noisy group exercise classes are not isolated from the main part of the gym. As of late May 2021, the gym is continually cleaned, while masks are recommended but not mandatory. read more

This is a great facility with wonderful amenities and a friendly staff. There are plenty of great workout classes and the instructors are top notch. I would have rated this a five, but one employee, Kelly,is not customer service oriented. She has a smug and condescending attitude which is pervasive. She belongs in the back office. read more

The front desk lady, kaley or Katie, not sure because she never introduced herself, is not nice. You cannot hear or understand her. I think it would be more fitting to have a welcoming person at the front desk. read more

I love this gym, it is close and has all you need. However there has been some serious issues as of late, basic upkeep has been suffering (paint, broken mirrors, locker room amenities), machines have been broken for way to long( all 4 stair climber for the past 4 months!) and don't get me started on the recent towel situation. Hopefully they can rectify these issues for the future. Also I hope the club can sell basic sports drinks and protein supplements soon, ever since last year all you can purchase is water! read more

It is an absolutely filthy club. There are so many machines out of service. Also, the weight area is quite small. The healthplex hasn't been updated in years! Sick of being over charged for this rundown mess. read more

The Healthplex Sports club is a one stop shopping for all your health club needs. Everything from pool, track, tennis, squash, racquetball, basketball, spa, group fitness classes for every level of fitness. It is a small community of like minded active adults. Kids are welcome too! Kids club is a good deal ( i have never had to use it because my kids were older when we joined 10 years ago.) We joined 10 years ago primarily because we could play tennis all year long. It is the best deal in Delaware county for tennis. Week to week court reservations, no long term contract with a set time each week that you are stuck with for 33 weeks. 9 courts are available. My daughter played competitive tennis for the last 5 years, all over Delco etc and the healthplex has the nicest faculty of all the places we have been. read more

If you're thinking about joining the Healthplex, I have a word of advice for you: Don't. It's in deplorable, run down condition. Gym fees are sky high compared to the quality of the facility. I recently brought a guest here, and he was shocked by the filth. Not only is it run down, but it is also dirty. If I could attach 100 photos, I would- the healthplex has many areas just like the pictures I attached. The gym used to be wonderful in the 90s and early 00s, but they haven't updated it since then. It looks the same as it did 20 years ago. Cmon healthplex- it's time to renovate. If you are going to be cheap with renovations, then at least make our membership fees comparable to the state of the facility. read more

Heads up!!!!! As of 2020 YMCA taking over this place. So things will probably change in negative way. Now we paying about $150 for 2 of us. Plus $20 per month for 1 assigned locker in girls room. Pros now: Classes are great, with good instructors. Not crowded like other gyms in area. Towel service Cons: Everything is dated... read more

Place has been run into the ground. Things break constantly and remain like that for months or instead of fixing it they throw it out and don't replace it. Everything is dirty. Mold and rust all over the mens locker room and showers. Air conditioning has been broken for years so they put big stand alone fans around instead of fixing it. Roof on indoor track / tennis courts leaks every time it rains so they set buckets up all over. Equipment is 25+ years old. Everyday u walk in theres a new sign at the front desk about what is broken today and what you cant use. For $90 per month its a massive rip off. read more

Literally cannot cancel my memership. Called three times within the last week, got transferred to "billing", and all three times there was no response and I left a message each and every time, and still have not got back to me (everytime I called was during office hours).

If you're thinking of getting a membership be ready to have the time of your life trying to cancel! read more

I love going to the Healthplex. It has more selection than any other gym in the area. I love the yoga as well as the pool.

This is the best sports club in DELCO. Top notch facilities and the nicest staff ever. TONS of classes. I love the pools and squash courts. Even the other gym members are great. It's a good mix of people. The ONLY negative I have is the women's locker room is out of date, and really needs to be redone, but I hear the men's is amazing, hopefully, it won't be long till the ladies' facilities measure up. read more

It's really unfortunate that management hasn't figured out how to maintain the basic functions of a gym. And by basic I mean BASIC: multiple broken machines, filthy environment, and my new favorite-- towels. Literally no towels in the entire gym this week. Last straw- we are out. read more

Gym is poorly managed. Some workers are rude and equipment is atleast 20 years old. Missing dumbbell weights, broken machines (which stay broken for long periods of time), filthy mirrors, dirty floors just to name a few things that are wrong with the Healthplex. Weight plates left on machines for members to move, tissues on the floor, mice traps everywhere, carpets frayed or ripped, yoga mats are chewed up, clocks on the walls are missing and on and on. Membership is expensive for what you get. Better to keep looking. This place used to be awesome....ten years ago. Now it's pretty sad to see it all falling apart cause the membership fees are not reinvested in keeping the gym up. read more
