We’ve been members of the Y for 2 years and counting, it’s been a great experience so far my daughter loves the preschool she wakes up on weekends and asks if it’s a school day that makes me so comfortable and relaxed to know she loves it and adores all her teachers. Miss Patty does an amazing job ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ we appreciate the staff and all they do to create a hospitable ambiance. I also love the activities/events (Halloween , breakfast with Santa etc 👍👍👍) . We take swim classes and we love the instructors and the improvements on how they convey information regarding the performance and reminders , however I didn’t really like the dance

We're new members, but so far we're all very happy with the facility! The mommy & me enrichment class is great & we look forward to starting our mommy & me swim lessons. The cardio equipment is clean & they offer cleaning wipes all over the workout area. The bathrooms are clean, too. Their snack machines are full of healthy snacks for adults & kids alike.The staff is friendly & helpful. We haven't used the child care yet (my son is young & would freak out!), but I peeked in & spoke with a caregiver & she was very sweet & helpful. The child care area looks well kept & they were deep cleaning one area so it's obvious that they keep that area very clean.I look forward to watching my little one grow up here & to having healthy family time at this beautiful center!

The Youth Programs are top notch! Thank you for always allowing my daughter to be herself in a safe, caring environment! The entire staff treats her with the upmost respect, and continue to play huge part of her growing confidence and social skills development.

I just joined this Y b/c my husband and I just bought a house in Boca. However this one is very different then the Y in Pembroke Pines. (Which we were former members) There is no place for kids 7-10 to go and play and there is No Yfit here. So all the kids ages 0-10 are in same room (super small) separated by a small swing door. Further more the playground and activity area is occupied daily by daycare until 6pm or later. So kids can't go there either. So I don't feel that is what the Y is for just to stick kids in a room for 2 hours with no activity is lame if you ask me. No for adults. The gym is super small. All the machines are always taken they have only one physical work out machine of each kind and maybe 8-10 treadmills and two go every other cardio machine. Also you can't bring your workout bag into the gym with you which doesn't make sense to put I. Locker which is located all the way by the pool. So if you need your gloves, water,keys, towel, phone, jump rope, ect... you have to carry it all throughout the small fitness center. (Doesn't make sense)! If you are considering this place as a family fun place you are sadly mistaken. Not very many perks of being a member and kids are bored being here. Not activity for them. Poor management. Will not recommend this facility to any of my friends or family.

Great facility for the whole family. Friendly staff. Spinning class and basketball are my favorites.

I find it funny that YMCA stands for Young Men's Christian Association, however there are so many Jewish people that go here. I used to be one of them. Not that it matters, but the crowd of people here are just strange. Old guys hang out in the locker room naked, makes other feel uncomfortable to see so many hairy wrinkles... The gym is always packed so no chance of trying to shoot hoops... What disappoints me the most is the fact that they DO NOT REQUIRE EVERYBODY TO USE A TOWEL AND WIPE DOWN THE EQUIPMENT AFTER USING. I love sitting down on a bench only to see a puddle of sweat from some old stinky person... yummm

I am a visitor from Iowa, it is a very clean facility and they are very welcoming.

We have had a family membership for more than 4 years. We enjoy the weight room, classes, indoor pool, camps and my son plays on the basketball rec league. Staff is hands on, premises are always clean and hours of operation are plentiful. I highly recommend the YMCA of Boca Raton.

Awesome all around facility! Thanks to the indoor heated pool, I have been able to consistently keep my young son in the pool every week. My wife has been able to get in shape thanks to the fitness classes the Y offers. My wife drops our 2 kids at child care and then she is able to get a great work out. Our 4 month old daughter is well taken care of there. She gets plenty of attention and the staff even changes her diaper when necessary. It has been a great experience for all of us. The towel service for the pool and gym is a great feature that we love. We were also able to partake in the Halloween party, which was a lot of fun for the kids. Love it!
