About

The Jamestown Area YMCA, located at 101 E 4th St, Jamestown, NY 14701, USA, is a community hub offering a wide array of programs and facilities. It features a fitness center equipped for cardio and strength training, a gymnasium for various sports, and multiple pools. The YMCA provides diverse group exercise classes, extensive aquatics programs (including swim lessons and water exercise), and robust youth programs such as child care, summer camps, and sports leagues, all aimed at fostering health, wellness, and community development.

The Jamestown Area YMCA is equipped with two pools: a 25-yard, 6-lane lap pool suitable for lap swimming and general recreation, and a separate, warmer therapy pool designed for swim lessons, water exercise, and therapeutic uses. While specific temperature figures for these pools are not publicly listed on their main website, therapy pools are typically maintained at a higher temperature than standard lap pools to enhance comfort and provide therapeutic benefits.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The reviews for the YMCA are mixed, but predominantly negative. Common complaints include rude and unhelpful staff, inconsistent rules and pricing (especially regarding family swim), and the inconvenient removal of evening child watch services, which has led some long-term members to consider not renewing their memberships. There are also mentions of out-of-control children during after-school hours. Positive feedback highlights the facility as a good place for unwinding, with a friendly atmosphere, and enjoyable amenities like treadmills and open swim.

Apparently you have to be a member to go swimming here! The lady on the phone told us it was free for family nights and when we got there another lady said it was $45… crazy my kids were highly upset. I don’t recommend this place.

I've been wanting to cancel for a long time now. Drama filled and rude employees. After the event with the rude employees today and then overstepping boundaries and control I will no longer take my kids here. A decision that I should have made along time ago. Noone seems to know rules and they are all making up their own as they go and expect people to know each individuals rules. But when they start questioning buisness where they don't belong then they cross lines. Half the kids are out of control and awful after school hours.

Longtime member here (6 years) Workout areas are okay, but the front desk women (especially the 30 something with dark hair and bangs) are VERY rude and unhelpful. Wish there was a way to key in my number and avoid them, they are never friendly. Additionally, the Jamestown Y recently got rid of child watch in the evenings. This was a huge incentive to be a member here. Now the only child watch is from 9a-11a in Lakewood. That’s a highly inconvenient time…unless you’re a sahm Lakewood mom…we can see who the Y in this area treats as a priority….Likely won’t renew my membership here. I don’t feel like a valued member of the gym, and it isn’t free to come here. Pretty disappointed with services in the last 6 months.

The YMCA in Jamestown is a place to experience a different type of unwinding and escaping from an everyday busy daily routine. A great family and friendly atmosphere.
