Gravenhurst YMCA

Fantastic experience: Love how clean and well maintained this gym is. Not busy at all.

Fantastic experience: Love the Gravenhurst Y and all of the classes they offer. The staff is great and very helpful. Always very clean and never seems overcrowded.

Fantastic experience: Good place to spend spare time. Equipment is clean and taken care of. Staff is nice. Good Ymca vibes

Negative experience: I have always been happy with the service, staff & overall the facility cleanliness and equipment at the Gravenhurst YMCA in the past, up until just today. My family and I came and paid for a day pass at the rate of $15, which is reasonable on the norm. Today however, we arrived @ 15:25 and were charged the full fee for what we had expected to be AT LEAST an hour, only to be mid changing into gym clothes to do a quick workout & then a shower, barely got gym tights on when there was an announcement over the P.A. System giving either a 20 or possibly a 15 minute till closing down reminder. TO SAY THE VERY LEAST, I WAS IN TOTAL SHOCK AND DISBELIEF THAT THEY’D CHARGE THAT ASTRONOMICAL AMOUNT OF MONEY, KNOWING FULL WELL OF THEIR CLOSING TIME AND NOT LET US KNOW OF THE LITTLE TIME LEFT AND OR AMMEND OUR DAILY PASS FEES BY 50%. We had no knowledge that they were only open for less then 30 minutes, instead charged us knowing that we OBVIOUSLY didn’t know, or we’d not pay for the day!! So when we decided to at least have a quick shower, the girl rudely kept coming into the change room about every 3-4 minutes interrupting us, and asking, “ how you ladies making out in here??” Finally after 3 interruptions I said, were clearly rushing as were being rudely rushed. I also made the point of saying that I found it to be bad business practice and very ridiculously ignorant to have done that to customers and not mention the closing time at our check-in and when charging us full price of day passes, she was snotty and remarked, we’ll remember that for the next time!! Like really??? We got tired of being rudely rushed and interrupted and then decided we aren’t going to rush as we paid for full price day pass and we were not going to rush around at warp speed as were being rushed and then bugged nonstop!! I’ll be putting a complaint and ask for some or even all of our money refunded back to us for such an ignorant and complete rip off!! So disgusted in the Gravenhurst YMCA today!!! P.S. I would have rather given NO STARS to my rating, BUT you must give at least one star in order to be able to write a review at all, AS there were no stars deserved whatsoever!! Shame on you YMCA, what a disgusting display of doing business and being very dishonest of the public!!

Positive experience: It’s a pretty nice facility, it’s maybe starting to get a little tired, but overall for watching hockey games it’s pretty good. Standard bleacher style benches.

Fantastic experience: This place is amazing!

Positive experience: Great place for everyone...I wish they would keep the lap pool open more often,

Fantastic experience: Very fun

Positive experience: It was great having a nice shower and an understanding person to talk to

Positive experience: Great place to go work out or for a swim, could have more days open for family or open swim

Positive experience: clean facility, staff were polite. pool was clean an great for a swim

Positive experience: What a great complex... Too bad Oro didn't do the same... So sad that the municipal government at the time didn't have the foresight...

Positive experience: first time going alot more to come very nice place

Positive experience: Great place for sports. Unfortunate how far the accessibility parking is from the door

Fantastic experience: Just did a tour today of the facility and wow what a beautiful place very well kept. I’m sold and I’m signing up.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful facility & fantastic instructors. Yes they could use more help…they advertise all the time. Fees are worth every penny!

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, well kept clean facility, pool, gym, weight room, yoga room, hockey rink , classes all at an affordable price.

Fantastic experience: Great place to have parties at ! Can rent rooms washrooms clean! Good parking easy to get to!

Fantastic experience: Great facility with everything you need in a gym! Huge pool area with wheelchair access.

Negative experience: $20 for a day pass or go to the other gym in town for $15 a month it's a no brainer. Ridiculous prices for a YMCA and they don't offer too much for the price. I grew up with the understanding that the YMCA was for the community and was supposed to be affordable I guess not here in Muskoka.

Fantastic experience: Awesome facility in the heart of Muskoka! The gym is great and the fitness centre has everything you need. Huge pool, and one of the few YMCAs with an ice pad!

Positive experience: The facility is very clean and modern, with friendly and attentive staff. Main points of criticism are the locker rooms, which feel outdated and small, but are usable. And the equipment, or lack of equipment. There is only a single flat barbell bench and a single squat rack, along with 2 standing cable pulleys.

Fantastic experience: I‘ve been training with YMCA Trainer, Matt Vaughan this summer and am very impressed by his deep knowledge and experience as well as his effective coaching style. Ive worked with a number of trainers rank him among the very best I’ve worked with. The Y gym is a new and well-equipped gym with both free weights and machines. Staff is super friendly and place is clean and well maintained. So if you are looking for a good gym with an excellent trainer, connect with Matt at the Gravenhurst Y.

Negative experience: You can never play basketball there’s always a different sport or it’s 3-9 so you basically get an hour to play basketball and upstairs doesn’t have any machines they just have the basic ones. The employees are very bad. Plus the vending machine is 5 dollars for a drink.

Positive experience: It’s very frustrating trying to get someone on the phone at the Gravenhurst Y

Negative experience: Need to cancel my membership.. never picks up the phone... horrible

Positive experience: Nice facility, but wish it had a better price for people who had no interest in the pool

Positive experience: Every morning Monday to Friday I do my 1 mile walk on the treadmills, adding an incline at every 5th of a mile and one step faster...doing 5 miles a week since reopened in January.. Everyone is friendly, they leave you alone to do your workout..everyone wipes down their machine...lots of room, distancing, I feel totally safe...I watch them check the pool and alarms every morning before 7:00...Excellent facility.

Fantastic experience: Great place for swimming!!

Fantastic experience: The staff is very helpful and best YMCA outside of GTA.

Fantastic experience: The Terry Fox room is a wonderful event space.

Fantastic experience: Love going there nice work out, clean dressing room staff is great very friendly ,wish the world just open the leisure pool for more times love the leisure pool

Fantastic experience: Visited the vaccine clinic. Very clean, well organized and comfortable. Outside the sidewalk was well maintained and clear of ice and snow.

Fantastic experience: Got my booster shot here. I used the gym on site for about a year before moving. Great facility, friendly staff.

Negative experience: Please update your opening hours if they’re going to be materially different than what is posted on your Google Overview. I get it’s a pandemic requiring you to change your hours but this shouldn’t be the excuse provided as to why you couldn’t update what’s listed publicly. Further would be great if you accommodated working folks with the hours you are open. Closing at 3 on Monday’s and Friday’s essentially makes the gym inaccessible to those of us working on those days.

Positive experience: Well I am happy that things are getting back to normal but I pay for premium membership and there is know steam bath and can't just go to pool when I want to so I am not real happy. I paid for my membership in advance now they want you to come back and be a regular member with no refund for premium membership no thanks give me money back

Fantastic experience: Had a good time swimming. Everything was nice and clean.

Fantastic experience: Best ymca facility I’ve been to yet. Other than their awful time schedule it’s good..

Positive experience: Good facility. Most of the staff are super friendly.

Positive experience: Good workout equipment, new management not welcoming to out of towners.

Positive experience: Great place, great atmosphere and a fantastic addition to the community. I have a membership there, my only issue is that there is no weight scale to be found with the exception of in the men's change room.

Positive experience: Nice facility. Arena is warm, dressing rooms clean. Good pool. Concession stand could be better, especially the coffee.

Negative experience: This place can't seem to get there billing right. Been charged again for a service I don't use and this after a long battle in getting some one to help me the first time with the same problem. Not happy at all. How much of my time can you waist. It's been 3 months now and they just charged me again. They also forgot to do the refund to my credit card but added it to a second account they now opened in my name.

Fantastic experience: Great

Fantastic experience: Great pool facilities. Everything is always so clean. Staff are great and very helpful. I do wish there was adult swim Friday nights but otherwise great programs. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Super clean

Fantastic experience: Best ymca facility I’ve been to yet. Other than their awful time schedule it’s good..

Positive experience: Don't go when it's free.

Fantastic experience: Great place. Great staff

Positive experience: Great place, helpful staff!

Positive experience: They have cut the hours back not opening as early and closing by 9pm which is not as convenient. Usually issues with the steam rooms not working, typically the women's. Staff are friendly. Always seem to be cleaning and keeping the place looking good. And they seem to add new equipment somewhat frequently which is a plus!

Negative experience: The facility is great. But the customer service philosophy is awful. They have no idea how much to charge for family open swim. Every day is a different value. I've had to argue almost every time my family and I go there. Also the pool scheduling is very limited and restricted. The absolute worst part is that they will do private bookings of the pool DURING open swim and not post it on the website. When you finally get there, after driving for 30 minutes, you learn you can't go in. The best part: "we posted it on the board, right here". I guess that's a good way of covering your back. It's also a great way of showing that you don't care about your customers that drive from outside of Gravenhurst. Not family oriented service. Especially if you have little children. I find that they cater to the older crowd.

Fantastic experience: Kind friendly and informative.

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym facility and pool. Modern, bright,clean. Friendly and helpful staff.

Fantastic experience: Clean, well maintained, great staff

Fantastic experience: Awesome staff great services and reasonable price. Love this place.

Positive experience: Clean, friendly with great facilities. However, hours are limited for certain facilities due to scheduling.

Positive experience: Have been before but they seem to have changed their prices. I used to attend for a week or two in the fall during the hunting season and it was reasonable but now they only hand out day passes at 10 dollars a day. Way too expensive as that would have cost me 140 bucks which is loosely a third of my gym membership back home for the year.

Fantastic experience: ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!

Fantastic experience: Great pool and facilities as well as friendly staffm

Fantastic experience: Clean facility. Well maintained. Friendly staff.

Fantastic experience: I find honesty, peace and always a smile from the crew.

Fantastic experience: Modern equipment, well laid out services for kids, large 4 lane lap pool at 81F; large spa pool at 91F; Adult and regular men's change rooms - adult has free towels and steam room. Adult and regular ladies change rooms; Family change room. Fabulous personnel both on staff and training. New programs every four months. We pinch ourselves that this facility is in Gravenhurst!

Fantastic experience: I love this place. My experiences get better and better each time I go. If your familiar with Goodlife Fitness or 24 Hour Fitness the equipment similar or better but the cost is cheaper. Staff are great and the people I have met there are always friendly.

Fantastic experience: Had a wonderful time the stuff is so helpful & friendly.. the facilities are clean & very useable & accessible...
