J. A. Walters Family YMCA - Gainesville (GA)

2 /5 Jesse Fortenberry: Fix the hours! Stop having crazy hours for the pool to be closed. Have consistent gym hours don’t change them and have the pool and sauna open if the gym is open. Realize that when your pool is closed so is the sauna. No one can keep up with y’all’s hours because they are constantly changing. Might be the only YMCA with such inconsistent hours.

2 /5 Saso Casablanca: Professional , tried many YMCA and health clubs. Moved here few months ago. pros and cons. Starting with cons: SAUNA: The absolute worst sauna I have ever witnessed. You cant really start to describe how bad it is. THE HOURS: They close the pool area from 1 to 4 (pool area includes pool, steam room, hot tub and sauna). The close the pool area on SATURDAYS at... 2:00 PM! unacceptable. Sunday open only couple hours in the PM. Pros: Great pool and Swim wide lane if you swim (WHEN ITS open , closed 1 to 5 unless its summer time where they have camps)

1 /5 tempest ware: The YMCA is full of it! From paying so much money from $170 a week for summer programs, to 70$ a week during the week for school. Summer programs you pay all that money for your kids to have to bring there on lunch. What am I paying for? They didn’t go on half the trips. The staff made nasty remarks to my daughter that she look older than what she really was! 10yrs old! I asked for financial help filled out the application for it! Nothing years my kids went there! I mean decades! The staff made a remark about me picking up my daughter I didn’t even have to say her name. The lady said I know who your daughter is “you the lady that needs assistance. I didn’t find anything out until my 10yr old daughter came in told me what was going on. Then I get a email after I called the ymca. They don’t care. Come sending me emails about a balance! You will never get it! After I begged for assistance. No thank you!

1 /5 Alexis Lynn: Went to a birthday party here. First, they made the parents watch their kids thru the window because they were over capacity. Then, they came and told me my kid couldnt swim anymore because he was running with out even letting me talk to my child first to try and fix it. I let him get back in the pool part and the life guard said "no, like hes done for the day" but every kid there was running, mine was doing his little jog. But lets kick him out of his friends birthday and ONLY him. Its "nothing against my kid" and only 2 life guards to all them people is crazy. Also, I left my kids shoes and when I walked back in to get them, the front desk said to each other " There she is.. " And here I am. What about it. Terrible management.

1 /5 Lucia Quinones: Warning: Do not become members in this facility. The children’s pool is so disgusting. Today was our first day as members and I have already canceled our family membership. *Dirty pool with dirt and wig hair floating around. *The water slide stairs are deteriorated and falling apart. *If a child gets cut, a tetanus shot will be needed afterwards. Even if this facility was free to attend, I will NOT visit it even if it was for free let alone pay a family membership of $78 on a monthly basis. Very worrisome, disgusting and disappointing.
