I’m here almost daily. It’s a great facility, very clean, wonderful staff. The classes are good, the pool is well-maintained and the weight room and cardio room have everything you need. The price cannot be beaten. Downside is the clientele in the weight room is 75% teenagers, the pool is often 75% seniors, but in a way, that’s encouraging.

Place is horrible. A tiny basement gym stuck in a time warp of 1973. I thought it was a health club for ages 85 and over. Leg warmers and Jack LaLane T-shirts. I even think I saw Richard Simmons teaching sweat into the oldies. Front desk lady Julie has bad hygiene and speaks just like Kermit the frog and is VERY rude. Stay away unless you are wanting to workout in hells waiting room. Filthy basement gym. Smells like a nursing home for the forgotten.

This is one of the nicest YMCAs around. Located in northern Glen Cove just off Dosoris Lane; this YMCA is very convenient for early morning exercise before work. The grounds are beautifully maintained, facility is spotless and all treadmills are top of the line. The staff are always courtesy and helpful; very happy to be a member.

Have been a member of this YMCA for 20+ years. Located in a wooded setting on the former Gold Coast estate of the Pratt family, the Y has great indoor and outdoor facilities that are well maintained and kept up to date. A friendly, welcoming staff makes the YMCA an asset for those that live in this area of the North Shore.

While the facilities in the YMCA are beautiful, I worry about their programs for children. I worked at their Kiddie Camp and I observed many troubling behaviors from counselors and other staff. When I brought an incident to the directors attention, they did not take it seriously. Children were eating crumbs off if a classroom floor. A child fell asleep and the counselors took him and started playing with him and taking pictures of him. The children deserve more than the counselors were willing to give them. For example, at activities (art, sports court, field, etc.) There werent any instructors. The counselors threw paper and pencils at the children and told them to color while they were on their phones in a different area. These children were 3, 4, and 5 years old. The counselors did not sit with them at activities or lunch, they let them run free, and when it was time to clean up they screamed at them. When I brought this to the supervisors attention, she simply asked the counselors what was going on and they denied it. There is also nazi graffiti on the camp bathroom that has been there for at least one week that again, after telling the camp about, nothing was done to take it off. There are many other valuable camps in this area and all over long island. I do not plan on going back there and I advise against sending your children there.

March 4, 2019. 5stars for indoor pool management and the new team!Many swimming early birds have been amazed by the new indoor pool management and all staff. Indoor pool s 5am shaft has been very much on time even in a snowing weather like today’s. standing applauds from all 5am early birds! Thank you, the management team, lifeguards and facility !November 7, 2018. 5 stars for Samone (I went the front desk to get her name spelling:)), one of the sweetest, most down-to-earth people. She dedicatedly cleans the entire open faculty and women s locker room daily!!! And she ALWAYS shows up with a smiling face and warm personality that make you feel going to this YMCA is a really pleasant treat:)). Thank you, Samone, for showing us such a beautiful and joyful face of YMCA at Glen Cove.Today this one STAR is solely for swimming center manager! It has been a problem for indoor swimming pool since this incompetent man has come on board. HE either cannot get life guard on duty on time in early morning shaft or he himself is LATE! And today is the worst ever. We are the daily 5 AM early bird swimming group and we waited 1 hour and 21 minutes for the swimming center manager to get to work!!! How ironic is that!? One hour and 21 minutes are ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE!!! IT is HARD to understand how a person can respect himself to respect his job. Please,, PLEASE director PETE, would you find a responsible person to lead the swimming center.Five hearty stars for Bodypump instructor Melisa. My new favorite is personal and BodyPump instructor Melissa M. She is very petite yet very strong with pleasant soul to train with. She changes BodyPump routine once a while to make it more fun and effective. Recently she conducted a fitness evaluation for me and gave me some good advice. Thank you, Melissa!

There are many different classes at different times during the day offering convenience and variety. The weight room is new and has a lot to choose from although they can use some more leg machines and the cardio choices include treadmills, ellipticals, rowing machines and two different types of stationary bikes. The indoor pool has lap Lane swimming all day long and offers classes throughout the day and the outdoor pool is open when in season. The only drawback is that during the week the outdoor pool is only open after 4:30 p.m.. There are open gym times where you could catch a pickup game of basketball or play Pickleball. One drawback is that when schools are closed for vacation time during the school year theres not a lot to offer for the kids during the day unless its a scheduled swim class. The other drawback is that the womens locker room could be updated. Other than that, its a great facility for you and your family to enjoy.

Nice YMCA with plenty of space, parking and facilities to use. Pool is great, big workout area with plenty of machines, and a full length basketball court. A nice bonus is the playground outside.
