Peter Blum Family YMCA of Boca Raton

The YMCA is a sizable facility. It is clean, and well maintained. There are plenty of choices in classes and there are always cardio machines available. The staff is attentive and friendly.

We love the Y preschool. Its truly a blessing... I can't imagine a better home away from home for my little guy. Thanks to Mrs. Patty and the whole preschool staff for always taking great care of our family.

Love the swimming program directed by Ms. Nicol. My kids look forward to their swimming lessons weekly and enjoyed the Aquatics program over the summer. Ms. Nicol is an asset to the YMCA!! We are completely happy and satisfied with the program and facility.

Everyone on staff is so helpful. Even the Cleaning Crew takes pride in their work. Men's dressing room never has any odors or any debris on the floor. Classes are high-spirited, and instructors are obviously enjoying what they do. The front entrance is always got something going on, and there is some new program to join, like boots and butts. They add classes when the needs arise. I've been a member for over 12 years, and this facility keeps getting better every year. Thank you all for your commitment to Body, Mind, and Spirit.

The preschool is one of the best and i couldn't recommend it enough to parents trying to find a safe and educational place for their little ones. My daughter has been in the preschool program for over 3 years now and couldn't be happier. Shes learned spanish(we dont speak it at home unfortunately) and they've taught her to swim and read/write. Shes excited every day to go to school and talks none stop about how much she loves her teachers and friends. If i could do it all over again, i wouldn't hesitate.However, in terms of the aftercare program, i'd avoid it all together. Definitely not worth the money. Your kids won't be looked after by anyone older than 16 from what i've witnessed and if your kid has any sort of problem, the children watching over them are quick to dismiss them and tell them to "deal with it on their own." would never enroll another one my kids in this program again. Very disappointed.

This is not a review of the YMCA as a whole but rather of Denise, our instructor for our mommy and me swim lessons. I started swim lessons 4 weeks ago with my 12 month old daughter. She already had plenty of experience going in and being around the water as we go into our community pool several times per week. I thought it would be a good idea to have our daughter take lessons sooner rather than later, because she was quite adventurous in the pool.After taking the lessons that we completed with Denise, my daughter is very scared of the water in a way that she never was before. I made the comment to Denise when we were at class that she was scared after having been dunked the week before. She immediately went on the defensive and was rude with me saying, “I’m not going to apologize for dunking. That is what we are supposed to do,” and “Coddling is a sign that something has gone wrong”. Throughout the lesson, she made several other rude comments.I don’t disagree with her that the babies should be dunked and that my daughter would get over her fear eventually. What I did not appreciate was Denise’s obnoxious attitude and comments.I was a competitive swimmer for over 10 years and coached high school swimming. I started swim lessons myself at 3 years old, which I now believe is a more appropriate age for babies to start swim lessons. If you do choose to do a mommy and me swim lesson, I would highly recommend that you take your business elsewhere or you make sure that Denise is not your instructor.

My wife and I enrolled our son in the Y's 1-3yo swimming class in September 2020. I highly recommend the swim program because the facilities are clean, well maintained, and my family had a great experience. What really stood about the program was our swim instructor that we got to know as Ms. Denise which I'd like to give a special thank you to.Ms. Denise is very knowledgeable of swimming and teaching young babies and toddlers to swim. She was constantly engaged with the parent and child, was personable, and her swimming techniques are above reproach. I noticed my family and other families kept signing up for the same class once a class session was over. I know on our end it was because we were having such wonderful Saturday mornings. On a side note, It's funny, for the many classes we took during the past year, there was a Saturday or two where we had another instructor substitute for our class, but it was such a different experience. It was less hands on and not as a beneficial of a lesson to our child. After the class was over, my wife and I were saying to ourselves, we miss Ms. Denise and hoped to see her at the next class.If you enroll your 1-3 yo, I highly recommend the program and be sure to request Ms. Denise!

The Y is a family affair everyone loves the Y.Why, because its clean, warm and friendly and safe.So much for the whole family to do with so many programs.The staff if top notch and the trainers and coach's are always ready to lend a helping hand.The recent upgrade to the latest machines make it a fun place to work out.The men's locker room is well kept and constantly being cleaned.If you are looking for a gym for yourself or your family this issomeplace to check out.

Great place for family working out or just relaxing , we have courtesy, nice facility and good location.

The YMCA of Boca Raton is amazing. During this pandemic they are taking safety and service to the next level. It is very appreciated.
