About

The Pauline F. & W. David Robbins Family YMCA, located at 201 Talbot Ave, Cambridge, MD, is a community-focused facility dedicated to youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. It offers a wide array of programs and amenities including a fitness center, gymnasium, group exercise studios, and swimming pools, catering to individuals and families through activities like swim lessons, sports leagues, wellness classes, and various community events.

While specific daily temperatures are not always publicly listed, YMCA facilities typically maintain their main lap pools within a comfortable range of 78-82°F (25.5-27.8°C). If the facility includes a separate warm water or instructional pool, it is usually kept at a higher temperature, often around 85-90°F (29.4-32.2°C), for therapy, lessons, or younger children.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? This facility is generally well-regarded for its effective workouts, diverse class offerings (including Body Pump), a good pool that's rarely crowded, and friendly staff. It's also a popular choice for children's programs and has a great location. However, consistent feedback points to a strong need for modernization across the facility, including updating weight room equipment, adding more stair masters, and improving the overall infrastructure. Specific complaints mention the gym's lack of cooling, leading to excessive heat in summer, and consistently malodorous restrooms. There's also a suggestion for an additional gym to better accommodate young children.

Needs to get more than one stair master and update their equipment in the weight room, but other than that it’s a decent spot to get a good workout in and it has plenty of classes to sign up for. Added bonus that it has a pool

Pretty good neighborhood Y. Smallish by today’s standards. Good pool; rarely crowded. Good selection of classes, including Body Pump. Gym has heating but no cooling - Gets hot and sweaty in the summer.

Spend a lot of time there. My kids enjoy going there and have participated in many of their programs. There are a few things that I would say that needs to be done. One is to modernize the facility. Two is to have another gym added to the facility because it is not easy for little kids to have access to the gym. Overall, it is a good place.
