IMPROVMENT

by fay2009 at Citysearch

THE FRONT DESK NEEDS IMPROVEMENT, I TRIED TO REGISTER FOR SWIMMING LESSONS AND THEY MADE ME COME 3 TIMES AND I AM STILL NOT ABLE TO REGISTER. AND EVERY TIME I HAVE TO WAIT ON LONG LINE.

I FINALLY GIVE UP TO LEARN HOW TO SWIM JUST BECAUSE THE FRONT DESK ARE NOT WELCOMING.

IT DID REMIND ME OF DMV....

MAY BE IT'S CHEAPER THAN OTHER PLACES BUT YOU GOT WHAT YOU PAY FOR.

• Pros: LOCATION

Nice Facility - Rude People

by LauraMarieNYC at Citysearch

The McBurney YMCA is a beautiful gym. There is a huge pool, new machines with televisions, basketball court, weight room, free classes, indoor track and more. The only problem that I have at McBurney is with the people who work there, and some of the patroms. The staff is generally rude and unhelpful, and many of the gym's members are "bitchy" bussybodies. I've seen several fights break out in Yoga class. Bottom line... Bring your iPod and keep to yourself.

• Pros: Great Facility & Equiptment
• Cons: Rude Staff

Nice facility, Incompetent Staff, Idiotic Hours

by sebeticus at Citysearch

The facility is nice but the staff is utterly incompetent and quite useless. Additionally the fact that they close at 8 PM on Saturday and Sunday is about as intelligent as their staffing decisions.

• Pros: Nice facility
• Cons: Moronic staff that will drive you insane, terrible hours for anyone younger than 70.
