YMCA West Bromwich

Fantastic experience: Lovely cafe and a lovely autism cafe which is run by a nice and friendly gentleman called Jim! Yesterday we had a woman trying to force her beliefs onto me and my boyfriend. Everyone is entitled to their beliefs and can believe whatever religion they want but they shouldn’t be trying to force it onto others.(25th September 2024)

Negative experience: Moving to ymca has made me, upset, suicidal and depressed. They dont help with anything they just want your money, please think twice before seeking accommodation here, i know people are desperate for housing but you will be treated worse than if you just lived on the street. Im already here but i will sell my body in order to hurry and get out of here, private housing is more worth it, ymca will treat you like a forth class citizen when you are paying a huge amount of money £1350 rent and what do i get..? Suicidal thoughts. I do not recommend. Enter at your own risk, you have been warned.

Negative experience: The manager of the gym JOY is unprofessional and discriminates against muslim women and any woman who shows religious modesty. Making comments behind clients back whilst they are still in earshot is a big NO NO in customer service, her boss needs to have a word, what entitled behaviour. I won't be attending anywhere i feel discrimination. Revoking my membership, im actually really upset.

Negative experience: Not good

Negative experience: Nothing to say.

Negative experience: Honestly the whole of the YMCA is a massive scam. Charging over £300 per week for people to live there who are struggling to find accommodation.. then have the cheek to not allow family or friends to stay the night AND have a curfew? It's more like a prison that you pay £1,200 a month for. Absolutely disgraceful tbh. Not allowed to wear pyjama's or anything other than normal clothes and shoes in the foyer.. I'm sorry but if residents are paying well over £1,000 a month they should be allowed some leeway in having visitors/a partner stay a night or two and no stupid curfew... Abhorrent that this company is allowed to exist with the rules and regulation it has. Residents CANNOT get a job because getting a job means actually paying £1,200 for a room no bigger than a prison cell so everyone is stuck waiting for council housing... I'm utter disbelief that this is allowed to go on.

Negative experience: I rung the YMCA to ask for a badminton court. Knowing full well that all 4 courts are empty as the lady on reception confirmed this, she then said, i need to book 24 hours in advance to book. What a joke especially when theres a dozen other badminton courts available in the same area at other venues. Under new BAD management apparently. Not the brightest of ideas for business

Fantastic experience: It's great they have a gym and a coffee bar where u can have latte or a cappuccino and sandwiches and so on they are going to to hot food soon like jacket potatoes and it's in Carters green in West Bromwich west Midlands just before u come to the west Bromwich town centre I highly recommend it I've been in there a few times and the staff are very helpful and friendly

Explained I'd got pain management and phyisotherapy. He pointed to a door and said go through there then turn left and go through the door which happened to be the gents toilet. Asked a man who turned out to be a maintenance worker who had no idea but did find a phyisiotheripis. In the mean time I'd gone back to reception to ask for directions again only to be greeted with a shrugged shoulders and a I dow know then
