Wyckoff Family YMCA

The only reason why I joined this gym was for their new, heated pool. However, a regular working person seems to be the least valuable customer and the last person they think of. Their schedule for lap swimming is absolutely unacceptable. I have to adjust my entire life around the available hours and many times it is inconvenient and incredibly short. And then they also change it every several times each season!

My experience at the Wyckoff YMCA is outstanding!!! The staff are very polite and respectful to me especially Jerry, Shannon, Peyton, Ashlyn, Patti, Jared, Brian, Dennis, and Kyle. I usually attend dinner-chat and let's reconnect on Friday nights at the Wyckoff YMCA and I love it!!! I usually eat 3 slices of pizza and 2 Caesar Salads and then talk to Shannon and give her a hug cause she loves having me at the YMCA. I love the Wyckoff YMCA!!!!

Thanks YMCA. I appreciate the warm feel of the staff and the truly helpful purpose of the organization.
However I also think a few things need to be improved:
- Messy website.
- Pool schedules are very inconvenient to me. They have 2 pools and still everyday there are several windows of time bigger than 2 hours that don't allow any lap swimmers in either of the 2 pools. If you don't check the schedule before heading there you might go back home 50% of the time.
- Not very modern facilities
- No official program for advanced swimmers
- No triathlon club
- I don't see much advantage being a member and joining programs or activities, they are almost the same price and gives you no sort of priority in registering.

Thanks though, I might join again if it makes sense.

I sadly must say that the YMCA facility at Wycoff needs major improvements. Not only is the facility outdated (locker rooms, shower areas...) but it is also not kept clean. They do have two great pools, but the pools are overused, and dirty. The warm pool very often has extremely cloudy water, with debris floating around (hair, paper..., awful). There are limited number of lanes open to the members, which often need to be shared by 3 or more swimmers at the time, all other lanes are used for "private lessons" or swim team. We pay too much money to not be able to comfortably swim and use the workout to relax. I have recently gotten three eye infections after swimming in the uncleaned pool, and my wife periodically develops skin rashes right after swimming. We have brought that up to the front desk, along with overcrowding issue, but they never have addressed the issue, and if anything, seem to get upset by our complaints. Shower and bathroom areas are very dirty, especially in the afternoon and evening times. I understand that there is a very large number of members using the facility daily, but the staff must address that and have a better cleaning schedule! Also, a lot of things do not work, and seem not to get fixed.

Great location with much potential, but needs to be improved!
