Sylvan Adams YM-YWHA

Fantastic experience: This gym facility is the best I recommend kids-friendly and safe.

Positive experience: La piscine est bien chauffée et les maîtres nageurs sympathiques. Les lieux sont propres. Une étoile en moins, car dans le règlement il est noté tenue obligatoire :maillot de bain et une femme se baignait avec une robe et des collants. Moyen niveau hygiène.

Positive experience: I have enjoyed myself many times at the YM-YWHA, but lately things haven't been as good. First they ended the group I used to go to without an explanation and then when I had a day pass for the health club they wouldn't let me shoot hoops in the gym for no good reason.

Fantastic experience: Amazing nice place with really good pool

Negative experience: I'm sharing this negative experience as a warning to others. As someone with neck and back discopathy awaiting surgery, my chiropractor recommended I attend classes at this club. Unfortunately, I encountered an aggressive coach named Monica in the Eldoa class. Despite informing her about my limitations and pain before the class, she repeatedly yelled at me in front of everyone, criticising my inability to perform movements correctly. In the last class, I experienced a sharp knee pain that forced me to stop. Instead of showing concern, Monica mocked me, saying: ‘Pain! Pain! I don't care! I don't care that you're in pain!' and continued the class. I strongly advise anyone seeking a calm and supportive environment to avoid Monica's classes at all costs. Totally I had better experience with other coaches and other classes that I attended.

Fantastic experience: Very well maintained and good stuff

Positive experience: It’s a nice gym, pretty spacious but the only bad side is that the basketball court has limited hours

Fantastic experience: EXCELLENCE !!!

Fantastic experience: great gym and clean locker rooms and pool, newly renovated , underground safe parking fir members

Fantastic experience: Very welcoming fitness center with great group classes, nice large and clean pool. We took a day pass, registration was easy and price is fair for the quality of the set up.

Negative experience: Racism is still felt GREATLY at this facility, even in 2024. Avoid this place as there are many other centers in the city that wouldn't treat you the way they do over here.

Fantastic experience: Very clean and well organized facility. The pool is large and you can find a free lane to swim most of the times.

Fantastic experience: Great facilities and friendly people.

Fantastic experience: Great gym

Negative experience: NEVER GO TO THAT GYM!!! I faced racism by some of the members and part of the staff. Even though I had the health club (VIP) membership they treated me like garbage. Once somebody told me I should have been doing the cleaning instead of working out just because I am Mexican. Apart from that, The service is appalling because they treat you like they’re doing you a great favor for over 200 CAD monthly). The facilities were always dirty, most of the staff really rude. Group classes were the only thing that was worth it, especially the yoga classes, but apart from that I complete waste of money and ill treatment.

Fantastic experience: Nice cozy place

Fantastic experience: Since the renovations the gym is great. The staff is kind and helpful. If you’re not used to the Jewish calendar it could be bothersome when you want to hit the gym but it’s closed for Jewish holidays or events. Apart from that it’s a very convenient clean and beautiful sport complex / gym.

Positive experience:

Negative experience: Service rude to the extreme!!!

Fantastic experience: Very welcoming place, clean and spacious. The best instructors!!!

Positive experience: De nombreuses activités aux prix des fois élevés

Fantastic experience: The place has great trainers to ask questions regarding specific training. Also, friendly membership prices .

Fantastic experience: Très bonne salle de sport

Fantastic experience: Pool is great and the people are helpful and cordial.

Fantastic experience: If youre looking to spend your hard earned money for a nicer gym This is the place. As a swimmer theres only a few gyms that have a pool included.

Fantastic experience: Salle de gym top

Positive experience: Trop d’enfants criants surtout dans les vestiaires, insupportable. Vendredi-dimanche, fermé après 17h‍♀️. Les gens se comportent bizarrement dans le piscine.

Fantastic experience: Having aquababy swimming class for my 3 month old daughter

Fantastic experience: אנשים טובים

Fantastic experience: Fav gym,

Fantastic experience: Since childhood I went to JCC and it's like my second home in Montreal. The fitness facility is amazing

Fantastic experience: Very pleasant people, nice clean top place

Fantastic experience: The best place ever… Service and infrastructure. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Nice facility, decent crowds and reasonable pricing.

Fantastic experience: Just a great gym which many machines , weights , running machines , the crowd is pretty chill , staff friendly , showers and lockers very clean z

Fantastic experience: Lots of activities for the whole family

Fantastic experience: So nice and professional

Fantastic experience: I love music, dances, and parties, but finding someone new is slim or tough

Positive experience: The best Gym you can imagine and fully equipped. But at first visit, the reception didn't behave in good manner. I expected it welcoming much better

Fantastic experience: Great place welcoming people of all ages and fitness levels. Always friendly and helpful staff, parking available.

Negative experience: Few years ago, the gym was open on weekends until 9:00 pm - like most gyms in Montreal, since it’s reopening (after covid-19), it is now closing on weekend at only 5:00pm on Saturday and Sunday. Many members asked management since 1-2 years for longer hours (like before) but no changes has been made. Membership price increased - but hours of operations reduced. It would be nice to be back to the previous hours. Thanks.

Fantastic experience: One of the highest quality gym I’ve been to in North America. Great staff, wonderful facilities and equipment. George, Steve, Jonathan, Amir are all amazing! I feel at home at this gym!

Fantastic experience: Une belle place , propre et bien entretenue Personnels cordiales

Fantastic experience: Great place for activities and exercise.

Fantastic experience: Best place to dk your events and especially more sports activities youll enjoy with

Positive experience: Very good group fitness programs with knowledgeable instructors. Unfortunately not so many choices in the evenings. There is no jacuzzi/hot tub in the pool area to relax in the hot water after swimming. And the sauna with the steam room available only when you have the access to the health club, which is much more expensive than regular excess. It is good that the gym, the pool and the group fitness classes are included in the regular pass.

Positive experience: Gym is clean, lots of equipment including cardio, machines, and free weights. They also do a lot of classes (zumba, spinning, etc). It's a very good gym for everyone at a very reasonable price point. I do wish however they would remove the "Health Club" option, make the sauna and steam rooms accessible with the regular package, and simply charge extra for the towel service and permanent locker. I'd love to access the steam room after a workout, but it's not worth it at 3x the price monthly.

Fantastic experience: Lovely place and friendly staff; you will not regret.

Fantastic experience: Best Zumba classes in the city!!!! Not to mention many other amazing group fitness classes to choose from! Very friendly and helpful staff ready to help get you started with whatever fitness program you decide!

Negative experience: The reason why I bought yearly membership was because I wanted to play basketball here and work out sometimes. Sadly, the gym are always giving on the programs so that I couldn’t do the things I want most the time. The gym only cares about making money..

Fantastic experience: Nice

Positive experience: Great venue for events.

Fantastic experience: Nice

Fantastic experience: Great gym

Fantastic experience: clean. organized. respect of the rules

Fantastic experience: Beautiful renovations, great gym, friendly staff!

Fantastic experience: Great place!

Fantastic experience: Not too far from the Metro. Interior was spacious and well maintained. They showed their price chart for membership. I don't think this is available in the website.

Fantastic experience: Great facility, high quality equipment, friendly staff. No more headaches. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Nous sommes membres avec mon fils Nicolas depuis le mardi 21 juin suite à une recommandation son médecin. Lors de notre premier contact, ce sont Ben et Sébastien qui nous ont accueillis et donnés les renseignements ensuite c'est Deanna qui a pris le relais pour que Nicolas puisse adhérer au programme d'inclusion. Puis, nous avons eu droit à une visite des installations, c'est Noam qui a demandé à George de nous accompagner, la piscine est géniale. Les vestiaires, douches sont très propres. L'équipement est propre, récent, les salles sont spacieuses. Piscine testée et ce matin les rameurs, vélos, la piste sur la mezzanine est parfaite pour s'échauffer. Nous vous remercions pour votre gentillesse à tous, Adam, Gabriel etc....

Fantastic experience: It was

Fantastic experience: Excellent for ALL IN ONE

Fantastic experience: Extremely clean gym. Wonderful atmosphere

Fantastic experience: Situation below was handled accordingly by the coordinator of inclusion services. Thank you Deanna. Amazing services here at the ym ywha. There are a variety of activities for all. April 2 2022 3:00pm Where inclusion can improve Fantastic gym, and so far staff are as accomodating as can be. Much kudos to Homer for his utmost professionalism and great service. Extra star here because of Homer and the other working staff. I am looking to add an extra star or two to this review eventually. For now I am a turned down at the fact that there is no unisex/family bathroom area I am a female caregiver to my male brother who has autism and there was nowhere for us in terms of facilities, no lockers for our belongings or changing area where I can be present to accomodate him. I think this would be quite relevant to the improvement of inclusion here. Hopefully in the near future a family bathroom/changing area can be added.

Fantastic experience: I went Gym and Swimming here it is 6 a reasonable price here. They have everything for exercise. It is big place you can get canteen, school everything in a single place.

Fantastic experience: Nice place and programs.

Fantastic experience: Really good space. Really good people. The cleanliness is amazing. So many activities. Must join space

Negative experience: I highly recommand Alison's pilates classes on Tuesday at 12:15 She is extremely professional and the classes are given well.

Positive experience: Nice

Fantastic experience: Best place to be

Fantastic experience: Incredible facility with friendly staff and good pricing

Negative experience: L'equipement est correct les heures d'ouvertures pas accomodants

Fantastic experience: Nice!

Fantastic experience: It's all about team work. The "Y" is contagious when one person joins there are others who want to join. Like I said its contagious!!

Fantastic experience: Great Staff and newly renovated training facility. Makes the transition in and out of the facility safely with the pandemic going on.

Positive experience: Need better towel service for the Men's Health Club.

Fantastic experience: It is Jewish community development centre. It works for the whole Jewish society in Montréal. It basically receives donations from the different donors and the government too and spend money on socio-cultural and economic well-being for the Jewish people in Montréal.

Positive experience: A good place to workout there is everything you need in a gym and more

Fantastic experience: This is my favorite place to do exercises

Fantastic experience: Great place. Great swimming

Fantastic experience: Wonderful gym, well equipped

Fantastic experience: Clean courts, 20$ for a day pass. Locker rooms are kept clean.

Fantastic experience: Clean, well kept, spacious facility. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Usually not a lot of people so helps to get the workout done smoothly without much wait.

Fantastic experience: Used to train at this gym during my teen years, best place to develop yourself. Wide range of activities, equipments and friendly staff.. Just wanna say thank you to the Jewish community for making it possible for many young people. It was very affordable during those times. (2010-2012)

Negative experience: I love this gym - but now after the covid 19 closing, they have no possible date or information about when they may reopen even though I asked 2 different people. Government laws allow re- opening now and many gyms have done so. They are citing safety concerns. The fact that they are in the middle of a major renovation is probably a big issue which they don't want to mention. And NO - I am not interested in zoom classes of booking a class in the park which they keep suggesting.

Positive experience: Excellent place to do many activities and sports for all ages, they are going through renovation, I cannot wait to see when it's complete. You can go swimming here, fitness center for work outs, cycling , open gym for basketball etc... ym-ywha is a real gym great for everyone at reasonable price

Fantastic experience: Great environment with friendly staff.

Positive experience: Good gym. Terrible response time to inquiries. The staff responsible for answering e-mails are either very slow or do not care about our questions. I've written 3 e-mails so far to ask a few questions and they haven't responded yet. I don't suggest you communicate with them using e-mails. Perhaps in person? Good luck anyway with getting some answers.

Positive experience: À la réception sont pas efficaces, ils manquent d'info à donner, pas un grand besoin de t'aider. Cela fait 5 ans que je suis client et il semblaient pas avoir des registres sur mes activités, si tu prends pas note de tes activités la-bas il sait pas que est que tu as fait dans ton dernière cours et quel serait ton prochain niveau correspondant. Si tu demandes un peux des questions il vont te donner une brochure. Même pour les classes qu'ils offrent il semblaient pas savoir le contenu de chaque niveau de cours, par exemple pour les courses de natation d'enfants les niveaux s’appellent étoile de mer, le requin, etc. mais ils savaient les habilités pour chaque niveau. Ils plutôt vont t'envoyer parler directement avec les profs pour mieux te renseigner (une perte du temps). Pour les cours de piano, la même chose, il faut contacter avec un prof phantasme pour se mettre d'accord avec lui pour l'horaire. Les niveaux des cours pour enfants que j'ai vécu: Dance, natation et piano sont presque pour passer les temps nos enfants. Les enseignants en général sont pas trop doués. Vous vous demandez pourquoi je suis avec eux, simple, j'habite à 3 rues.

Negative experience: Beautifully crafted facility, The cardio room is excellent and they have all types of different elliptical machines and treadmills and bikes. Wi-Fi it works excellent as well. However if you're only goal is to use the weight room you'll be disappointed. A lot of the machines are outdated and a lot of the adjustments on said machines are stuck in one position like the seats on the shoulder press for example will not raise up or down and cetera. If it was just one or two machines I would understand but many of them have adjustment issues so I'm not sure why they don't have some cheap mr.fix it come out with a toolbox and within an hour he would have all the adjustments fixed. It would make our workouts much more pleasurable.

Fantastic experience: Everything you need in one place!
