membership is free for the first 12 months at the Providence YMCA. if you sign up online and come in to enroll they will take a picture and issue you and ID card. then you have to make no payments for the first year as long as you use your membership. if you don't use the membership and then call and cancel before the 12 months is up, then you will lose your deferred penance and will owe all of the months remaining for the 12-month period other than that they offer great activities they have great amenities

Great little gym with a very friendly staff. Danny is an awesome director. Vivian and Brandy set me up with my membership and they are two of the kindest individuals I've ever met! GREAT trainers too.

New member, my daughter got hand/foot/mouth within the first three days of going to the in house Daycare. Kids are kids and have their slobber and germs. The real reason for the low rating, is that there's one family bathroom in the pool area. It's not being watched, individuals without kids are going in there alone and using it as their personal bathroom. I'm forced to change my 2 year old daughter in the mens locker room in full exposure of her and them. I brought this to the attention of the very very very young individuals at the front desk and they couldn't care less. Gave me the number to call the director.....which ended up being the number to the front desk.So if you hate privacy, and don't like family friendly environments then this is the place for you!

Don't rely on the app because they never update the pool hours.

Great for seniors, not so great for younger crowd. Schedule is not up to date. Court is dirty. Staff is friendly and polite. Too many rules for my taste.
