YMCA Saskatoon

Expérience fantastique: Don’t be a fool they got a great pool

Expérience négative: Worst customer service I've experienced. Very unprofessional.

Expérience fantastique: Love this gym and what it has to offer

Expérience négative: The basketball floors are in a shockingly bad state of disrepair and neglect. First of all there are dead spots on both rims in the paint. It’s ok though dribbling isn’t important in basketball. The floors straight up feel like you’re playing on a sidewalk. Worse even, atleast cement has a gritty texture. The floors are polished. Polished with dust. Basketball courts are supposed to have a visible sheen of polish that adds grip and texture. These floors look like something avenue living provides in their apartments. Cheap panelling. I understand the ymca is a charity, but with the state of the floors in the basketball gym my suggestion would just be to close the gym permanently if you can’t afford to maintain it. Because what you guys are doing now is basically a scam .

Expérience fantastique: Amazing staff!

Expérience fantastique: The gym is always very neat , equipment well arranged, and the front desk personnel are always very polite, cheering and welcoming . Without any hesitations, I'll recommend this place to anyone who is interested in working out because this gym has almost every needed equipment and enough space, even for calisthenics workout.

Expérience positive: Nice spot great work out room but I gotta say I do love those co Ed swim classes they really get me going for some nice bag lunch and hit the weights

Expérience positive: Good gym for reasonable price

Expérience fantastique: Best place for exercise. Great staff!

Expérience positive: Nice facility

Expérience fantastique: I absolutely adore the YMCA, the workers at the front of the desk are really lovely and sweet, and so helpful! It’s a very small, friendly environment and It’s laid back, and often times not very busy compared to bigger organizations. I go there for family swim, and my sister and I enjoy it. The life guards are always very friendly and will often great you <3 If you want a very quite and calm environment, this is the place for you!

Expérience positive: 9$ for swimming ? Wow and it was a cold pool.

Expérience fantastique: Clean pool and nice staff!

Expérience négative: We had a terrible experience with YMCA. We were enquiring about summer camp programs for our 6 year Autistic Kid. We asked if they provide one to one support or any extra support for our kid. They were like yes we do. After we got convinced to send the kid for Super Summer Camp for a week. On the joining day , within 2 hours they called us thrice & said we can't handle the kid and will return the amount. Terrible that they can't handle kid for few hours too.

Expérience positive: YMCA in Saskatoon is a great place for exercise and relaxation. I particularly enjoy the dry and the steam saunas.

Expérience fantastique: Good plc for my family

Expérience positive: This is a pretty good gym in the sense that it has every aspect of indoor Fitness that you could ask for. It has Squash Courts a full pool basketball courts lots of side rooms for exercise or yoga and two different full-on weight room Jim exercise areas. It's a little rundown in places and the crowd is a lot of old guys mainly but most of the people are extremely friendly and I've been to many gyms and I feel quite at home here

Expérience positive: The machines are old and it's out of date place.Can use newer machines as treadmills,also more powerful machines as bigger.

Expérience positive: Nice facility. I love the swimming pool.

Expérience fantastique: I recently moved to Saskatoon and this is the first gym I went to. Two levels, a swimming pool, a hall for basketball and other sports sections. There is always enough space and plenty of exercise equipment. In general, I will stay here. We will continue to train!

Expérience fantastique: A pretty good place for indoor swimming and good instructors too

Expérience fantastique: Great facility, enough space in the gym that it doesn't feel crowded. Staff are very friendly and helpful. It's a very comfortable and welcoming environment!

Expérience fantastique: YMCA cares about keeping our community healthy. Parking can be an issue downtown, but not if you bike. There is a beautiful locked compound right beside the front entrance. It's free with your membership. #bikesaskatoon #YMCABike #BYXE #SasktoonCycles.

Expérience fantastique: The YMCA is always a helpful and friendly place, where anyone can feel comfortable and have a sense of belonging. The fitness, aquatics and daycare programs are a just a few of the quality and fun experiences at the YMCA! #friendly and fun

Expérience fantastique: There is so much more to the Saskatoon YMCA than meets the eye! There are programs available to ensure the whole family can be involved. From swimming lessons to yoga classes to Judo classes there is something for everyone. My kids participated in the Judo program and over the years were taught by former Olympians and a World Masters Champion – all volunteering at our local YMCA! And the Judo program is still going strong. I would encourage families to check out all that the Saskatoon YMCA has to offer. #YMCAJudo

Expérience positive: Good job to Luka in the pool. Great costumer service

Expérience fantastique: Love the hot tub and the steam room

Expérience fantastique: I love the Y. Community feeling is great, affordable for kid’s activities and always super friendly staff

Expérience positive: Everything is good except the basketball court floor... some part the ball don't bounce, hoping they fix it

Expérience fantastique: Clean and hygienic gym. Great place. Polite and helpful staff. Affordable but pricing is age based. Younger adults have cheaper rates as compared to older people. Has all facilities like a basketball court, swimming pool, a gym to workout your muscles and a cardio room.

Expérience fantastique: This place has good facilities.

Expérience fantastique: Friendly staff, warm and inviting atmosphere. The facility is incredibly clean, well maintained and doesn't feel crowded or over used. If you want a quiet place to go and workout, the YMCA does not disappoint. I hope the squash courts are fixed soon!

Expérience fantastique: my favorite place

Expérience fantastique: Very nice place during the summer. I'm not sure about the winters as I just arrived here. Friendly and polite staff!

Expérience négative: Employees discriminate and go directly against YMCA’s core values. The lifeguards should look for jobs somewhere else. Pathetic place, better off going to Shaw centre.

Expérience fantastique: Kind helpful staff. Kids loved it there

Expérience fantastique: D'éther

Expérience fantastique: Thank you for responding. I appreciate that you've retrained your employees who in the future will refrain from unnecessary commentary. I was more than happy to show my ID.

I was invited by a friend to play squash. When I arrived I was greeted by a friendly clerk. I told them that I'm meeting someone. Apparently she knew who my host was and that he was already changing. She asked me to fill out a form and to produce an ID. I told that I've misplaced my wallet recently but if it's alright I can show my health card. She and her colleague were adamant that I produce a picture ID or a picture of it. It so happens that I do have a picture in my phone along with hundreds of other pictures. As I'm scrolling through my pictures looking for it, the clerk tells me that picture ID is important because we have kids on the premise. I don't understand why she felt the need to tell me this. What is she insinuating? When my friend arrived at the front, she asked him if I was with him. When he confirmed that I'm his guest, the clerk tells me that I am good to go. I don't understand why the picture ID all of a sudden is not needed? Why did they felt the need to keep me there, when the form was fully filled? I was extremely embarrassed and wanted to show my ID to prove my existence. Once I showed her the ID, I asked her what is my year of birth. She didn't know. Then what purpose did this exercise serve besides embarassing and belittling me? Talking to several people I'm informed that this sort of thing is called racial profiling. I suppose my sort of people shouldn't go there.

Expérience fantastique: The front desk is always so friendly and the whole place is very well kept. I send my daughter to the daycare, and I love how inclusive they are. I could leave an extensive review of how great they are (and maybe I'll update it another day to expand on this). Thank you for everything!

Expérience fantastique: Es la primera vez que voy me gusto todo bien organizado, limpio y distanciamiento y cada quien tiene que limpiar lo que toca , esta reparando la area de spinning wow espero que en la próxima vez que valla este terminada....

Expérience fantastique: Thank you for responding. I appreciate that you've retrained your employees who in the future will refrain from unnecessary commentary. I was more than happy to show my ID.

Expérience fantastique: Great place for kids! I MUST to edit my review ✍️ I highly recommend this place, not just for kids! The staffs are friendly and helpful! They just renewed their gym and washrooms. Their pool are fantastic! ‍♀️ They have tons of kind of workouts ‍♀️ ‍♀️‍♂️⛹‍♂️ But my favourite one… karate Wado Kai Best SENSEI ever! They are FANTASTIC with the kids. I love the way they teach all the kids. Seriously, guys!!! I highly recommend you to put your kids (perhaps yourself) to their karate class!

Expérience positive: Twenty five years since I step foot in the Building lots of changes made in the front but still the same services.

Expérience fantastique: Nice and quite place for exercise with friendly staff

Expérience positive: Squash courts could use some upgrades but overall a good place to go.

Expérience positive: I can't say anything bad about YMCA. I tried out their weightlifting center. As a weightlifter I hated the gym. That's me. The pool and basketball court were cool options if I used them

Expérience négative: YMCA, denying Canadians their basic rights. No longer will we be attending any type of activities at a place like this. Absolutely absurd.

Expérience fantastique: They have upped their game. With all the COVID issues it’s very clean and friendly. Love the pool!

Expérience fantastique: Clean facility, friendly atmosphere, and a good variety of equipment.

Expérience fantastique: I'm really enjoying the yin yoga! The building itself has a nice atmosphere, and the instructor has such a calm and peaceful presence.

Expérience fantastique: awesome place super welcoming and super helpful workers anytime you need, and has absolutely everything you could ask for can’t complain at all.

Expérience fantastique: Hearkens back to the olden days when the Y was the only game in town. It's like an interactive museum! A visit is a must for history buffs, the elderly, and any remaining Village People fans.

Expérience fantastique: Outstanding gym!

Expérience fantastique: It's an excellent place for exercises.

Expérience positive: Very friendly staff, and facilities are clean. My only complaint is the gym is on the smaller side, and in two separate areas. You can still get a good workout in though.

Expérience fantastique: I only have positive things to say, very clean, very nice workers, nice facilities.

Expérience positive: My daughter thoroughly enjoys her swimming lessons!

Expérience négative: I have been a faithful user of the 'Before and After school' program for 6 years. I have always had exceptional care for my 2 young children. This year, however, they have changed the structure of the program (re: COVID) and now I have to pay $5,000/year for casual care needs. Financially, this is not feasible and now I have no other options for child care pre/post school. For reference, I am a RN who works 12 hour shifts, with a spouse who works usual business hours. I am at a loss for the coming school year...like I needed more stress regarding back to school!!!

Expérience positive: Very affordable and good place to bring your kids when school's out. They have different kinds of activities for the kids to do. Only downside for us is that it's in downtown as it's too far from home or work.

Expérience fantastique: Great community

Expérience fantastique: Friendly, helpful staff in a great facility

Expérience fantastique: Cost effective but lil bit messy on database. They can not find your name. Activated cards but next time they said that our membership is not working. All understandable staff is is friendly and helpful.

Expérience fantastique: Ohh my god!!!! What an amazing helpful staff...Samuel is just amazing... YMCA should hire this person forever, soo knowledgeable so easy going... So smart...multitasker all rounder .He just helped me to understand each n every program so easily and everyone is very very nice...here. Great staff...I just joined today with my family.

Expérience fantastique: Great place for workout, swim, raquet sports. Men's plus change room has great steam room, sauna and whirlpool.

Expérience fantastique: Lovely

Expérience fantastique: No contract memberships, a community-focused organization in the downtown area that supports low income families, a reasonable amount of equipment, and friendly staff and patrons.

Expérience fantastique: Clean and functional. Not too busy either. Check it out.

Expérience fantastique: Trust here for your kids.

Expérience fantastique: Great place but paying for parking!!!!

Expérience fantastique: Чудове місце де можна потренеруватись, поплавати, є різні гуртки, і дитяча кімната з нянею яка подбає про ваших дітей поки ви будете тренуватись. Чудові інструктори з плавання, чисті роздягалки. Рекомендую, а ще тут дуже дбають про дитячу безпеку , що є дуже важливим

Expérience fantastique: We use childcare at the YMCA and have for years. The staff are amazing and our children have loved it. They have good resources, including education with the children's play and care. Highly recommend.

Expérience positive: This place has really stepped up there game. A great place to get a workout in and had had some renovations so pretty nice except no parking unless you want to pay through sky high fees

Expérience fantastique: Good facilities and friendly service from the front desk staff.

Expérience fantastique: It's a great place for swimming lessons, fitness training and other kids activities. I recommend the whole family membership there. Kids will have specially more lessons and activities to do. Neat and clean, i specially like the swimming pool area and gym.

Expérience fantastique: Clean place. Friendly environment.

Expérience fantastique: Lots of fitness options

Expérience fantastique: Perfect place for your body and especially for your soul! Looks like I found new kind of “church“ for myself!

Expérience positive: Their daycare program is really good. Make sure you book well in advance though

Expérience positive: I go to the Y 4 or 5 times a week, and love that they have everything I need under one roof. I use their squat rack and power racks to lift three times a week, and the other days I'm in the pool or the squash courts. I also find the steam room motivates me to get to the gym even on the days I really don't want to go. Would really appreciate it if they added day passes for the plus memberships so my brother could join me in the steam room after our squash match.

Expérience positive: Great gym and people. Warm atmosphere and welcoming faces.

Expérience positive: Poorly equipped. No trial pass for non-locals, and they charge outrageous $15 for a day-pass while providing $4 value. Weight room crammed. Change room crowded.

Expérience fantastique: I temporarily worked in Saskatoon for 6 months summer of 2014 and having had a ymca membership from another canadian city, this ymca let me use their facility. I loved this gym. The equipment is a mix of old and new but gets the job done. Staff was always friendly. Change rooms and showers were always well maintained. Was never overly busy. I really liked this gym.

Expérience positive: Squash courts need some maintenance

Expérience négative: The building is an eye sore. especially to the thriving downtown area.

Expérience fantastique: Our family was here for Austim Services programming - swimming lessons, it's a fantastic facility, very clean, and the staff were incredibly supportive and friendly! Thank you so much

Expérience fantastique: Cool gym

Expérience fantastique: So many great programs for kids.
