What are people saying (AI review summary)? The provided reviews offer a mixed perspective on various fitness facilities. Franco's Pride Boxing Club is described as an older but well-maintained facility offering good summer workouts. The YMCA in Corpus Christi receives high praise for its friendly and welcoming staff and members. However, a significant negative experience occurred at one gym where a member's privacy was violated by a photo being taken, and the staff failed to follow up on the complaint, leading to membership cancellation. Another detailed review severely criticizes an unnamed YMCA for being very outdated, citing poor lighting, hazardous steep stairs, lack of air circulation, outdated cardio equipment, and dingy changing rooms, though it acknowledges perks like a pool and 24-hour access to weights/cardio. One review also notes a gym is no longer affiliated with the Y.

My son attends Francos Pride Boxing Club. Older facility, but it is maintained well. Great summer workout boxing from 6pm to 8 pm

My bad experience was the fact that nobody called or cared. As I was exercising, some guy passed in front of me and took a picture of me and moved on. I was in disbelief and thought of the awful things some people do with photos. I didn't know what to do as I was stunned.I just left feeling my privacy was taken. I called and left a message about the incident. No one cared enough to contact me. I canceled my membership.

Nice gym. Nice people. Good classes. But this gym is no longer affiliated with the Y.

This place is very outdated! The only perks are the pool and 24 hour access to the weights & cardio section. The lighting in some of the rooms aren’t bright enough. The stairs are a hazard when trying to go to certain sections of the facility. I really couldn’t see elderly folks making it to a lot of the other rooms that are available. There are just so many stairs and the stairs are very steep!! The facility is just waiting for an incident to happen! The workout room where weights and cardio machines are located do not have fans to circulate the air- so you’re literally just basking in your own sweat. Majority of the workout equipment is outdated for the cardio section. Most of the machines don’t have a port to charge your phone. And the women’s changing rooms are dingy as well. The chairs in the changing room are old and the seat covers are peeling. It’s all very old and not something that you would typically expect to see from a well known facility. YMCA isn’t what it used to be, it’s definitely gone down hill.
