Quakertown YMCA

About

Family leisure center with fitness and aquatics facilities, plus childcare, summer camps, and classes.

The Quakertown YMCA typically maintains its lap pool at a comfortable temperature, generally around 80-82°F (26.7-27.8°C). For its warmer program or family pool, the temperature is usually kept higher, often in the range of 86-88°F (30-31.1°C), to accommodate lessons, therapy, and recreational use.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for the gym are mixed, with several positive experiences highlighting good workouts, great equipment, and excellent children's programs like swim classes and gymnastics, particularly at the Quakertown location, where staff are praised for being nice and the facility clean. However, significant negative experiences were also reported. These include vending machine issues where money was lost without product and staff were unhelpful, a frustrating incident where a year-long membership was not recognized after only two months leading to rude staff interaction and a forced re-signup, and a very serious safety concern in the child center where a 17-month-old child was left crying, ignored by staff, and sustained a gash on their forehead. Some reviews also noted gym overcrowding during non-member access or school breaks.

Gym is always a great outlet for some weightlifting. Although, I decide to buy something from one of their vending machines. The merchandise never came out, so I was deducted $6.00, after 2 swipes which went through as a transaction, and when reporting it to the front desk, the woman just acknowledged the thievery, and ignored it. 😤 At least, I got a good workout in on this rainy Sunday. 💪Come here for the workouts, and bring your own supplements to avoid being hustled out of your money from the selective vending machines. One of the ladies at the front desk made a note of it. All I can do is laugh over this.

I got a year membership for 2 of my kids about 2 months ago. A rude person told me today that they did Not have memberships. So I got to waste my time signing them up again! For some strange reason, she kept repeating that it had to be renewed "every 365 days". A couple months does not equal 12. Ridiculously rude. I was not able to give ZERO stars. *** I CAN TELL BY THE YMCA'S RESPONSE THAT THEY DID NOT READ THIS. I SAID I got a YEAR membership 2 months ago. So YES obviously 🙄 it would be renewed every YEAR. I ALSO said it had only been a COUPLE MONTHS. Therefore the "every 365 days" would not apply after COUPLE MONTHS. DEFINITELY didn't read before responding. ***

My 5 and 3 year old just finished the spring session of swim class at the ymca in Quakertown PA. The aquatics director, Ms. Becky, is amazing. All the swim instructions at this location are just fabulous, patience and skilled. There are vending machines, tea and coffee machines as well, that’s an added perk for parents, as we all know, we are on the go.. I definitely recommend this location.

We love the Quakertown y! We've done multiple kids programs, and the gymnastics program is top notch with caring and qualified coaches. The gym has great equipment, though it gets very busy (almost unusable) when schools are off or when they offer free use to non members. We come four days a week and can attest that the staff are the nicest people, and the facility is always clean.

Today around 8:30 AM, I dropped my 17 month old son off at the child center, so I could work out for an hour in the wellness area. It usually takes him about a minute or two to calm down once I drop him off. And the girls usually pay attention to him and help him transition. This time I don’t know who was working… But when I dropped my son off, he ran over to the window when I was walking by and followed me the whole time through the window and he was crying very hard. I stood on the other side of the wall where he couldn’t see me for two minutes and for those whole two minutes, he was crying and screaming his eyes out. I then went to the bathroom to give it another minute… And when I came back, he was sitting in the corner in the same spot, still crying, and no one was paying attention to him. At this time, there were only two or three other kids in the area and three teachers. The three teachers were, standing around talking amongst themselves. No one was paying attention to my son. I decided I was not OK with this and I went to pick him up. He ran over to me right away and he had a huge gash on his forehead. So not only did they not pay attention to him while he was visibly upset, but they allowed him to get hurt. I was so upset, that we left. I wanted to bring this to your attention so it is not happened to another child.
