    I am incredibly saddened by the inhumane way the people who I’ve encountered working here treat and talk to you. It is like you don’t matter as a human and have meaning or place in this world. So so sad that a YMCA would treat you this way. I suppose it is the new American way. ‘Merica #1! Treat fellow humans terribly and don’t even give them a chance to say their piece or be heard. Speak to them like a robot and like they don’t matter. You guys are the best. This is the best way to be.

    The Vanderbilt YMCA doesn't offer rooms anymore. The floors that offered rooms have been turned into a shelter for homeless or low income people. There are relatively good facilities. There are four floors of different type of aerobic and weight training facilities, a short running track, a basket ball court, and rooms for numerous membership included yoga, pilates, etc. There are two swimming pools of 20 and 25 yards, but they are a little claustrophobic as there's no natural light and low ceilings. However, it is one of the few NYC gyms with swimming pools. The locker rooms (men's and women's) have steam rooms and saunas, but no longer provide towels. Although renovated recently, they already seem aged. The service has fallen significantly from its pre-COVID level. At the same time, the prices have increased. In September 2025 a week membership was $54 and month to month membership was $150 a month, plus a joining fee. This is competitive with other gyms, but some other midtown alternatives have better facilities. The location at 147 Street between 2nd and 3rd Avenues is excellent for the United Nations or other Eastside midtown locations. This gym has good facilities; the price is high, but competitive; and the service patchy at best. This gym is only just believe average value for money.
