YMCA Maidstone is a fantastic community resource located in Maidstone, United Kingdom, known for its excellent facilities and friendly staff. Users rave about the well-equipped gym, which is spacious and not overly crowded, making it perfect for a comfortable workout experience.

The center offers a variety of activities, including yoga, pilates, badminton, football, and roller skating, catering to individuals and families alike. Many members express their satisfaction with the plethora of classes and events, emphasizing the welcoming and helpful nature of the staff.

Guests enjoy the café, which serves reasonable priced drinks and snacks, proving to be a great spot to relax after engaging in sports. Many parents appreciate the clean, safe environment that provides ample parking.

YMCA Maidstone: Opinions

4.5/5 (156 Opinions)
Kishan de Silva 9 months ago

Fantastic experience: An excellent facility and most notably friendly and helpful staff. The gym has all the necessary equipment and is not too crowded. There is a sports hall where many activities are held and studios where classes are held in yoga, pilates and many other things. I think this is a fantastic community resource, well run and with a multitude of facets.

dp 2 years ago

Negative experience: Great Venue however the old miserable woman that is a roller skating marshall shouldn't be around children. She is a depressing individual with a disgraceful attitude! We will no longer return. The music hasn't changed in 18 months! A formal complaint to the Head of the Y.M.C.A will follow. The place in general is great and ruined by 1 old woman and her rude attitude.

Louisa S 3 years ago

Positive experience: Clean and fun. Went for children's birthday party. Loved the bouncy castle and all the ride on toys. Slightly disappointed with having to move to a tiny room for food. Not all parents could fit in to help their children in seats, to portion up and to eat. Maybe food can be served in the hall or a bigger room for younger kids.

Tega Ed 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Loads of activity being offered here weekends. From Kumon to dance to basketball to football to tennis. And not to forget the cafe offering hot and cold drinks and other snacks while you wait for the kids to finish up their activity. Lovely ambience. Great place.

Positive experience: Bounce and play a bit disappointing as too many kids on a Friday which made it less enjoyable. More toys and chairs needed for the amount of people attending.

Olufunmilayo Bankole (FummieBobo) 3 years ago

Positive experience: Nice indoor and outdoor sports / athletics and Wellness centre for the Maidstone community. It's quite family oriented too as there is something for every member of the family.....from Loose Pre School, dance classes, ballet classes to basketball, football, skating, gym, Wellness Centre / Spa (massages, acupuncture, osteopathy et al) etc. There is also a small place to buy quick bites and drinks.....and yes, they have high chairs for toddlers. Good one that covid restrictions are in place I tried to capture their brochures and leaflets for more information as required.....there is also a picture with their social media handles and of cause a reception at the entrance for all information....

David Ruler 4 years ago

Positive experience: What a great party for a 4 year old. All the stuff little ones like to do; bouncy castle, balls, parachute thing etc. Then they go off to eat and clean up too so the parents don't need to. There are staff around the whole time and would have been 5 stars of the staff did some party games too. They're in the sports hall anyway so why not get a stereo and do musical statues, musical chairs, pass the parcel etc.
