YMCA at Nocatee

The only issues with this branch of YMCA are that it’s not big enough for the growing area and it doesn’t have a pool. There’s sometimes an issue with large groups of teenagers taking over the equipment on the floor but not using it. Staff has gotten better about enforcing age rules and being back in school has helped as well.

My only complaint is with the staff. This facility is nothing more than a social hangout for unsupervised kids and poorly disciplined teens. The YMCA staff does nothing to control the unsafe misbehavior of these kids and teens. The staff does nothing to enforce gym rules or etiquette. These kids are mistreating equipment and taking up space while the staff sits around and turns a blind eye. This place is another accident waiting to happen...and I've seen it happen. Management needs to take charge. *Update* Nothing is getting any better. Management seems non-existent. The "trainers" there are basically kids that sit around chit-chatting and ignoring all safety/etiquette violations. One member was holding a machine with her phone and towel while doing a freeweight workout. I stood there waiting. The "trainer" asked if I needed help. I pointed out the etiquette violation. She looked at me and said, "There's nothing I can do about that." One member made a complaint about kids on phones while on machines to two "trainers" who were sitting around doing nothing. As she walked away, the two boys started laughing. This place needs a management and employee overhaul.

This gym is HORRIBLE!! During summer hours this place is a teenage hang out from 10am-3pm. Get ready to see teens hanging out, on instagram & taking up space all standing around. Then, you have group training classes that reserve 2-3 machines at once. When you have a tiny space, no employees enforcing the rules, training classes and a million teens, you won’t enjoy this place. Overcrowded, small and overrated gym. TEENAGE HANGOUT

Nice equipment helpful trainers, a great view from the gym. I love the Y. It's my favorite place to sit on the excercise machine and look at cat videos while people are waiting to use it. Just kidding, but it is some people's. I have been a member of alot of gyms and usually it's get a set in and let someone work in, here alot of people will do a set and sit there posting that they went to the gym today while everyone is waiting to work in. Not trying to be ugly, but maybe a little consideration please.

Review based on going there after 4:30pm. The good, the trainers are real nice. The bad: If you're looking for teenagers social hour where they are on the phone taking selfies and just sit on the equipment then this is the place for you. No control of the crowd and no gym adequate enforced. Crowded to the point that you can't get on any equipment. To small for the amount of people and not enough equipment. If equipment breaks be prepared to wait months for it to get fixed. The cable machine's panels are literally falling off and every week it seems like the screws holding the panels disappear. The opening hours are a joke, open till 9:00pm except Friday 7:00pm and weekends on Saturday till 3:00pm. Sunday not open till 11:00am and closed at 5:00p. Really not worth the expensive membership cost and they are increasing it January 2023. Reason, enhance facilities, but they can't even fix the existing equipment. Save your money and find a real gym.
