Services, Machines and Guided Classes
YMCA Gym: Opinions
Positive experience: Staff very good atmosphere very good equipment very good well worth the. Money every one freindly
Fantastic experience: Great local gym. It's well equipped, clean and friendly. Open pretty long hours too and never really a wait for Amy machines. Mem worship prices are reasonable and the gym supports the wider projects the YMCA offers.
Positive experience: Good gym, friendly staff; I used it as a visitor and felt “at home”
Fantastic experience: Such a welcoming gym, knowledgeable friendly staff and friendly supportive members
Positive experience: Good gym with everything you need. Never too busy and the regulars are really friendly and nice. Been working out here for ten years or more now. Great price, good facilities.
Positive experience: Would be a 5 star gym for its price but it really needs some sort of age limit at 16. Too many young teens pissing about on the machines. After 7pm it's the perfect gym.
Thank you for your feedback Alexander! We are a youth organisation and therefore offer a youth membership to encourage young people to exercise. If ever you deem their behaviour unacceptable, please speak to a member of the gym team and they will deal with the situation. Best wishes, YMCA Gym
Fantastic experience: Been going for a couple of months now, and really enjoying it. They've got tons of equipment and the trainers are really helpful. They can also work out a plan/routine for you which is included in the affordable membership. Always has a friendly and inclusive atmosphere. The classes are also really good - upbeat, fun, and really good workout! (Highly recommend Julie's weight it up class)
Positive experience: Awesome
Fantastic experience: As someone who'd never been to a gym in his life I'm so happy I chose the Y at North Shields. It's a bright, clean space with plenty of top-drawer kit. You see folk from all walks of life here and there's a really friendly, inclusive, community spirit. When I signed up I got a couple of coaching sessions with Sarah. She's a great coach; clear, patient, and up for a bit of craic. She's made me a tailored exercise regime to help me meet my goals which is brilliant. Really looking forward to becoming a regular at this gym.
Thank you so much Ryan for the lovely honest review! We’re so glad the community feel of our gym shines through!
Fantastic experience: The gym was recommended and it is alot better than I was expecting. From the outside I thought it looked quite small but once you get inside it's better equipped than half of the commercial gyms you go to. Really good space, I've only been a couple of times but always feel comfortable working out here. Definitely recommend.
Thank you so much for your review Adam. It's great to hear we've exceeded your expectations!

Thank you for the brilliant review Olha! We're so glad you are enjoying the gym so far.
Positive experience: I have been going to the YMCA quite a lot recently to attend a course being held there and while i was there had a look around the Gym. Although i haven't used this one as yet I have used other's in the past and this one is very well equipped with all the varied equipment to keep most fitness officionados happy. The Gym is very popular with a steady stream of clients arriving and leaving. There is a very good Cafe' across the way serving good food and drinks at an affordable price.

Positive experience: Need fan downstairs. There is no air
Hi Katherine, Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We have a large fan that we have moved down into the free weights section which will hopefully provide some cool air. Unfortunately some of our members sometime turn off the air conditioning which effects the temperature for other gym users. If you would like a member of staff to show you how to use the air conditioning please mention it next time you are in. We hope this resolves any issues you have. Many Thanks
Positive experience: Great. Very helpful staff
Fantastic experience: Love it here! The gym is professional, cheap and I feel very at ease here.

Negative experience: Very bad staff, felt very unwelcome, were constantly staring at me for no reason and men were talking about taking steroids and staff completely ignored it, would definately not reccomend this gym
Negative experience: Rude and unhelpful staff when I was trying to get in. Never been to a gym before and felt so unwelcome and lost. I also overheard 2 young guys talking openly in front of one of the staff members about doing steroids and it was just ignored. AVOID
