About
The Pav YMCA, located at 2947 Oak Park Ave, Berwyn, IL 60402, USA, is a community-centric facility offering a diverse array of programs for all ages. It provides a fitness center, group exercise classes, aquatics programs, youth development, and family activities, aiming to promote health, well-being, and social responsibility within the Berwyn community.
The Pav YMCA typically maintains two pools: a Lap Pool, generally kept at 80-82°F (26.7-27.8°C) for general swimming and fitness, and a Warm Water/Therapy Pool, which is usually maintained at a warmer 88-90°F (31.1-32.2°C) for therapeutic activities and lessons.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for the facility present a mixed but generally positive picture, often highlighting the positive impact of its staff. Many members praise the welcoming, kind, and helpful nature of the staff and teachers, with one long-time member commending a particular morning director for her cheerful and dedicated service. Positive experiences include a good running track, working treadmills, an enjoyable hot tub/whirlpool, and a wide array of activities and classes, with some looking forward to enrolling their children in programs like swim lessons. However, significant criticisms include complaints about the facility being humid and dirty, with the weight and cardio areas described as old and in need of modernization.

It is a very beautiful place was very excited. I loved the running track the treadmill worked great. I was thrilled about the hot tub whirl pool. The staff was more than helpful look forward to going back also all the work out equipment looked good. I am a steam room kind of guy but that wasn't working and the swimsuit dryer wasn't there but that's it other than that great place

I have been a member of the Pav YMCA for many years. You always hear the bad comments, but do you ever hear the good that those that work there do for the members. The women in the morning is talked by all members in the mornings. We all know her different waves in to the YMCA. She greets us by our name and is always cheerful welcoming us in every morning. Your are are so lucky to have such a wonderful Director like her. I have seen other members give her a hard time but she does all that she can to always help and some members are rude and not nice. I give her a lot of credit because she is always doing her best to help all the members.

From what I remember this place is humid and dirty. The weight and cardio area are old and need modernizing. This building will do much better economically and help the community if it was controlled by a company like LA fitness or Xsport. I hope they get bought out and hire people who are taking fitness, health, and community seriously.

I went to Pav YMCA and I was very disappointed. They do not have a program for veterans you brag about doing so much for this communities but you forgot one thing the veterans that made it possible for you to do it thank you. I was able to go into YMCA in Brookfield on 31st St. and they were proud to let me as a veteran. Use the facility for free. At least Brookville recognizes veterans!
