  There is a man in the locker room. All he does is go back and forth between the sauna and shower. He puts water in the bag and washes the place where he will sit and wets everything. In the sauna, he applies lemon on his body and especially on his feet for a long time and it is very uncomfortable and he stretches his feet towards me and constantly watches people in the locker room. Please warn me or I will cancel my membership. The person I am talking about is 35-40 years old, I think he may be an Indian.

  I've been a member for about a year now and overall I'm very happy. The gym has everything I need, it's consistently clean, and the equipment is well-maintained. Thankfully there's no music blasting on the speakers like in other gyms. That said, a portion of the membership (mostly older members) can sometimes come across as entitled or overly critical — you'll notice it in some of the reviews as well, but they come back every day so whats that say about them? They enjoy complaining and taking photos of members and students and posting them, which feels inappropriate. Such as Michelle below.

  I used to come here to swim and there was a life guard who was very creepy. He would only look at me when I was swimming in the lanes and not all the other swimmers but obviously it's his job so I didn't think much of it. But then one time i went to the gym and i was on the treadmill. I put on my glasses and look up to see him across diagonally in front of me in the treadmills against the walls. He was just standing there smiling and looking at me through the mirror. Then he gets off and starts walking towards me. I got scared, so I ran away. He was hispanic and had a mustache or something. Only the men life lifeguards acted weirdly in front of me, never the females. I just wanted to swim in peace w/o being objectified. And the weird ones were also a tall white guy, and an asian guy who is around the same height as the hispanic life guard but maybe short. I'm pretty sure they are all a lot older than I was when I was in this ymca and I was only 18 at the time. Idk if he still works there nor his name. If he and the other life guards see this, get a life. Weridos and creeps everywhere and its always a man. That was just one example. Its also not worth paying so much money for a tiny gym facility where people hog the machines and don't clean after themselves.

  The LIC YMCA is amazing. Their staff is very friendly and kind. They truly made my daughter's birthday a memorable one. They offer swimming classes, my daughter loves how interactive and fun they are. Shes been taking classes for 3 years now. Being a member at the Y has it's perks for discount on classes! The pool staff and aquatics director are extremely, helpful, friendly and informative. They made my daughter's pool party a memorable one.
