Rome Family YMCA (YMCA of the Greater Tri-Valley)

I have had memberships in several area gyms and even out state working as a travel nurse. I joined at oneida facility originally but I will say the friendliness and kindness of the staff at this facility is exceptional and consistent. The friendly hello from staff and williness to go to any measure to be helpful. The instructors actually makes it a point to know your name which is so personal. It's shows in faces of the members who generally look happy and always say hello in passing. Keep up the good work your are appreciated and make a difference.

I go here every week day around 5:30a.m. and it's run down but do for a face lift. Although I don't agree with how they treat their employees at times they are very nice!

I love the gym at this YMCA here in Rome, New York. There are three large rooms of equipment! The cardio room has some awesome machines i have never seen before. Them there is a circuit training room with really nice weight machines. The third room has free weights, barbells, and additional weight machines. The people are friendly, and you can hire a personal trainer if you wish. I have not yet gone to the pool....but I have seen the class schedules, and hope to use the pool soon. One of my doctors recommends it highly. If you are fully vaccinated, at this point they do not require masks. There is a special rate for senior citizens, and it is very affordable. The YMCA in Rome NY is a wonderful place!

I am not a member of the Y, but I was considering becoming one- not anymore. My son, 15 months old, loves the water. I had planned on signing us up for swim classes and "testing the waters", maybe becoming a member if we both enjoyed it. However, just trying to sign up was a nightmare. The staff all told me different things, no one knew if/when I could sign up- but they all wanted my $95. I explained that I was not comfortable paying for the class if I couldn't get a straight answer as to whether or not there was "room" for us to participate, especially considering their NO REFUND policy. I was told I would receive a phone call to clarify. No one called. Very disappointed.

No, its not new and cosmetically modern, BUT It Offers so many activites on a daily basis for all ages and all levels of fitness. The amenities are great: steam room, sauna, infrared sauna, hot tub and 2 pools-heated. All the classes for adults are great and free! Free child watch. teen center Offers a great safe area. Take a tour! Best bang for your dollar is the Y. $56/month for family!
