I have had it up to here with this place. Recent annoyances: - You need an orientation to use the weights. Both times I have asked no one has been available to provide it. - During the summer they switch to summer hours. Summer hours means that the Y closes earlier. They still charge the exact same amount. They just provide fewer services. Because it's summer! - Today my kids couldn't swim in the *indoor* pool. Why? Because there was thunder. There is not a single documented lightning death in an indoor pool. Not one. It's never happened. But they close their pool for some reason. Everyone here acts like they're a volunteer at a free community center or something. But it's not free. We pay quite a bit of money for this mediocre place. read more

So I've been coming here for some time, I never had a situation or incident until recently. I usually always use the second floor indoor track, I've seen plenty of people, non people of color who use the corners on the second floor to do mat workouts and never once did I see a staff member approach them (if they have I was not there to witness it and it is very possible) just the day when I was using it there were two other white women also using it, they were not approached. I don't know if it's because I was the last and only person at the time using it (giving the benefit of a doubt) maybe that's why she approached me. Either way, it was discouraging. Especially, when you have kids running up and down the stairs, going the wrong way down the track but yet I, the only black woman using the track at the time is approached. Even if her attention wasn't racially based, it felt that way. read more

First time at this YMCA location. Very big parking lot and the outside look very nice. Staffs were all nice and friendly. Very clean facility. I took my daughter here for her first gymnastics class. read more

Willow Grove YMCA - Lobby - Gyms Near Me - Hatboro, Pennsylvania

See all

The entire gym is incredible. You have so much space for everything your heart desires when it comes to working out. You have a basketball court, gymnastics, pool, gym area, indoor and out door tracks, yeah there's nothing that tops it for me. I feel like I leave the inner city into an oasis here. read more

I've been a regular here since it opened. I use the pool for water walking. The pool areas and locker rooms are very nice. Always ample parking. Most of the staff are very nice and friendly. My beef is their scheduling. Clearly, the swim team and swim lessons are their cash cow. Working adults who want to use the pool for exercise purposes in the evening can forget it. Management doesn't care about us at all. Especially since COVID. Hours were cut in COVID and have never recovered. Now in May 2022, they don't even open the program pool most of the times I go. They designate one lane in the lap pool. It used to be a lifeguard would sit between the two pools and be able to guard both. This was clearly permissible up to a certain number of people. There seems to be a new guy in charge now and he's changing things around. Since the guard can't watch both pools now, they just close the one. That leaves us water walkers to use the colder, deeper lap pool. Many of the people who use the program pool do it because of physical issues. The warmer water there is therapeutic. Time for me to move on. read more

This is a bright and shiny new YMCA that combined Abington YMCA and Hatboro YMCA. It is very wide open and bright. Easy to get in and out during the day hours and slightly difficult to leave during rush hour. Everything in the facillity is open for viewing by the public except the bathrooms and locker rooms. This is nice, but unnerving for some as you can be observed by anyone working out. There are two bathrooom spaces, a family locker room and then gender specific locker rooms. They have nice studio space for classes, a nice gymnastics program, spinning room and an indoor small track. They have a basketball court and small sized pool area (not ideal for children to play and swim in, it is primarily for classes). They have a nice open Kids zone, but no room for older kids/intergenerational room like they had at Abington. So any kid over 5 is not going to enjoy the kids zone, it is all geared towards younger children. The lobby space and sitting areas are many. However, the front lobby is all geared towards getting new members. They have 4 stations/desks in the lobby all designated for new enrollment. The fitness center combines weight lifiting equipment and cardio equipment. A good deal of space is devoted to weight lifting equipment. There is no air circulation in this wide open area. The machines are getting very dirty with dust, dead skin cells that are visible, hair, finger prints and dirt. This is after one week of being open. They decided that ambient easy listening Adult Oriented Pop music was needed for the fitness center, when neither Abinton or Hatboro YMCA's had this. The music is blaring and loud so that listening to your own music, watching a show or just being quiet is not possible. They have several dozen treadmills in the prime location in the fitness center, at the massive floor to ground windows, while other cardio equipment is jammed in the middle. Should I mention the cleaning wipes? Yeah, they do not clean the machines when used. They dry up quickly and do not remove anything from the machines. One odd thing, they have a pond at the enterence or culvert. They decided to plant a dozen saplings in the middle of it for some reason. It is winter and it looks like a skating rink as the water collected and froze. Leaving all the saplings looking odd surrounded by a skating rink. This YMCA was supposed to be a flagship and facillity everyone would want to be at. Not sure they came anywhere close to that. Too much money spent on things that did not matter like the massive windows throughout the building. read more

They did an amazing job during the Summer of 2020 with their summer camp. I left with the honest belief that they did everything they could to make summer as "normal" as possible for the kids. Cindy and Nicole truly kept the team safe and informed. The communication to parents was efficient. I was very pleased! read more

Very nice facility with lots of equipment and programs. I just wish there was an age limit or parental supervision required in the free weight area. Seems like after 3pm there are kids running around everywhere on the weights and machines with no knowledge of the equipment read more

The facility is nice.. but they have a serious problem with the person running the group exercise program. The person is not listening to members. Scheduling for classes and the number of people crowded into small studios is terrible. Especially now that the COVID crisis is upon us. read more

Honestly, save your money. They have absolutely no idea how to manage all the memberships they received within the first few months and are beginning to punish their customers for it. If you plan to do anything other than use the weight room, then save your money, because they restrict most other activities due to "too many people using them". If you're an adult, good luck even touching the basketball court, its age restricted for most of the day. If you plan to just use the weight room, save your money, the monthly fee is ridiculous if all you're getting is a weight room. You can get that for a 1/5th of the price anywhere else. The only reason I'm giving it 2 stars is because I did legitimately enjoy going here before they started mismanaging it. Everything here is SUPER nice, if only I could actually use them, instead of being told to leave because of an age restriction they randomly implemented. read more
