Enjoy nice facilities at modest prices here. There's a fitness center, swimming pool, sports facilities and more. It's also close to famous attractions such as Central Park.

Check out the new lounge on the 1st floor by the cafe! It's a cozy space to relax, eat your lunch, meet with friends and much more. Activities and live music to come soon!

Reasonable price for NY, very basic room, great location, friendly staff. Haven't used the other facilities.

This place shouldn't be called the YMCA, all they care about Is money & saving money. What happened to the community feel of the YMCA? If u charge a lot, u should stay open longer! Peace out WS Y!!

If you get a room on the 9th floor, go to the 10th floor to shower. Much nicer!!

There are single private bathrooms by the cardio rooms. Usually cleaner than the ones in the locker room.
Roger KesslerNovember 14, 2011
Def., need to where shower slippers or sandles while showering. People are in and out constantly, just about zero privacy, just be aware of it..

If you're an old guy, just hang out in the locker room with your balls proudly on show. It seems to be a rule.

Be careful swimming. The lifeguards are reactive and not pro-active so if you are headed for a collision, they will offer you an icepack AFTER and won't try to stop it before!
TaraJanuary 27, 2011
The zumba classes ROCK! Wed and Thurs at 7:30p. So fun and good looking teachers, too! :)

Really? Naked men in a men's locker room? Shocking. Maybe if you are too put off by older men soaking in the heat nude, you may want to shower at home. Whiners. At the gym no less!
Chris SeitzMarch 12, 2012
great deal for 2 people, less of a deal for 1

During the week, get there at 5am or after 10sm for a swim - Between 6am and 9am, it's a bit crowded.

Expensive. Keep increasing prices & services diminishing.. For ex, holiday weekends they cut out as many classes as possible to save money . Schedule sucks! Closes at 745?? Is this NYC?Look elsewhere.
