Fantastic experience: Can only share that my daughter goes weekly as a young carer and loves the place and the people. I've been a couple of times as part of a family night and have always found it enjoyable. I'm a wheelchair user and apart from a little step at the entrance it is very accessible inside with the aid of a lift.

Positive experience: It's quite busy place, with lots of different facilities on offer to all generations. We don't often go there. During the the last few months they managed to stay open and very carefully monitored their customer services in and out of the building. We were very pleased overall.

Joel Arikkat 5 years ago

Positive experience: Primarily use it for the gym. Gym is price is cheap and the facilities are great. Not the biggest gym you can find, however has all the basic workout equipment from free weights (bench, squat rack, range of dumbbells) to a selection of machines (treadmills, bikes, rowing machines etc).

Fantastic experience: Plenty of opportunities to get fit! Gym, dojo, fitness studio, all well-kept, changing rooms clean. Theatre is clean, tidy & large enough to put on a good show (but not too big). Meetings & clubs for a huge range of interests. Cafe serves amazing foods at great prices. Central Swansea location, open 7am-9pm most days.

- Jonesy - 6 years ago

Positive experience: There for my kids Jiu-Jitsu grading along with a million other people. The place itself is exactly how I remember YMCAs from my youth - focus on the activities rather than the aesthetics. Staff were friendly and made the grumpy adults feel a bit better. A little hard to find for the first time and the car park was well hidden but after you've been there once then you won't have problems.

Slavko Sad 6 years ago
