    This gym is less than ideal. Though it’s clean enough, the upkeep in general is lacking. Machines sport plenty of duct tape, out of order signs and cracked plastic panels. In the upper weight room, patrons on the weight machines tend to plant themselves and stare at their phones. There seems to be no in-gym supervision. The amenities in the locker room are less than ideal, the showers and the steam rooms sport debris, hair and paper towels on the floors and clogging the drains. Cracked tiles and stained wood make for an unpleasant experience. It’s absolutely a functioning place to work out, but at the price point there are dozens of other gyms that pay more attention to the experience and enjoyment of its patrons. My initial sign on included a Peloton membership initially, this has since been rescinded.

    Disappointing Membership Policy – Lack of Transparency I signed up for a membership at YMCA Irving Park on June 30th. That same day, $53 was charged to my card. Then, on July 1st, another $100 was charged for the July membership. While I understand and accept the charge for July, I find it unfair and disappointing that I was also charged $53 for just one single day—June 30th—especially considering I didn’t even use any of the facilities that day. It’s frustrating that this policy wasn’t clearly communicated when I signed up. Why aren’t front desk staff informing new members that they will be charged for the a portion month, even if they join on the last day? Basically, I was charged for a portion of June, even though I became a member at the very end of the month. This lack of transparency left a bad first impression. I hope YMCA considers improving how they explain billing practices to avoid similar disappointments for others.
