Positive experience: I could not find any pay as you go activities for our three year old GD. You have to book clubs in advance and meet certain criteria.
Fantastic experience: Awesome
Positive experience: Unreal project!
Positive experience: Thank you for fixing my tap, all the staff especially the receptionist are very kind people and do try their best, but I do feel like something needs to be done regarding when maintenance is urgently required, please consider having a discussion regarding this as its extremely important we have things fixed as soon as possible, as sometimes this can cause a nuisance for tenants and staff. Thanks again for your service!!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely lovely place, there is Gym inside and also there is parking spaces!
Fantastic experience: Great Better customer service and friendly team. So helpful my best place
Positive experience: Good place not busy easy and nice for gym
Negative experience: Poor service terrible managers with no care no hot water for days and no one to talk to this place is infested with cockroaches and the staff do nothing about it. The heating is on whilst it is boiling outside but the hot water don’t work this place has no staff control and should be looked into by the government properly YMCA are providing a poor disgraceful service they should be ashamed of themselves
Positive experience: Not the most glamorous gym in the world but the staff are nice and polite, the place is clean enough, value fir money and mist of the machines work!
Negative experience: Hostel wise, easily one of the worst places to live. Little to no help and no respect for the well-being of the residents. I’m hoping that they have improved their support and resources because, the lack of assistance is abysmal. They do not deal with severe issues correctly and do not remove residents that are considered a danger. I would hear a man that lived above me mercilessly beating on his girlfriend at the time and when I reported it, the manager went on to tell people behind my back that I was a liar. They give you false promises on helping you to move out, if you don't put in the work yourselves, you will be left to rot there. often maintenance takes forever to come and when they do, they just walk into your room. Whole place is a cesspool, if you are currently livng there, please do everything in your power to leave.
Negative experience: Very poor customer service.
Positive experience: A good venue for Karate very difficult to park .
Fantastic experience: Friendly positive people :)

Fantastic experience: YMCA gym Walthamstow is a great community gym. It’s been a lifesaver during COVID-19. Reception staff are friendly. Gym instructors are helpful and knowledgeable. The gym is easy to socially distance in as it’s on 3 levels, and you book your session so they’re not overcrowded. Going into tier 3 I am SO happy it’s still open for individual use.
Negative experience: I came into Ymca Walthamstow first day and Marcus Johnson decided to be microagressive towards trying to exercise authority and embarrass me in front of people when I simply asked a question his conduct was absolutely disgusting and unprofessional! Young people already go through alot people like this need to be reviewed and get proper training on how to speak to people. They need to have empathy and understanding or dont be in a job like this at all!
Positive experience: My wife attended here to donate blood. Was able to park and wait for her. Very COVID aware.
Fantastic experience: Excellent

Fantastic experience: Okay
Positive experience: Was here for an autistic children's snooker group. Reception staff seem a little blunt but ok

Fantastic experience: Cool
Fantastic experience: Superrr

Negative experience: It is not suitable to live but their gym and other services are affordable.
Negative experience: those responsible for this academy in Walthamstow are irresponsible. I was injured. irresponsible I do not wish that you who are attending are not harmed as I was.
Fantastic experience: Awesome place
Positive experience: I used to live here in the ymca, a long time ago now, but I use the gym here and I like it a lot, some staff keep them selves to themselves unless you need their help, but they're friendly there. The gym has some very good equipment and has all you need to get into shape. The showers could do with a little work in them, fixing up etc but still it's not terrible. Oh I see one of the reviews saying this place has a pool there, but they don't, they do have a nice little sauna in the locker room area though. For the prices they charge it's well worth what you pay.
Fantastic experience: New interior setup but needed more staffs at reception
Positive experience: Affordable food
Fantastic experience: Great sports facilities. Good gym for rock bottom prices and access to personal trainers. Lots of classes for adults and children alike in the gymnasiums.
Positive experience: Place offers good options but the area is shady
Positive experience: looks quite alright. facilities are good
Negative experience: Security didn't care
Negative experience: what they do is just making money.you go to their gym or sports hall and pay money for that and on exit barrier u have to pay again bloody 2.50£/h for parking.Thats is robery in the mid of the day.Then manager or so come and say where are free parking.disguisting
Positive experience: Amazing helpful staff and good gym classes. The facilties could be better but the staff and classes really make up for it
Positive experience: Very useful!
Positive experience: Got a pool and gym, pretty basic but clean. Car park is way too small and you'll be lucky if you can park. Some staff are very rude, some are lovely. Cafe is reasonable but only open for food at certain times.
Positive experience: Cheap, especially as the gym has been renovated. Just need some more weight machines dotted around as people tend to monopolise these where they are on the ground floor.
Positive experience: Cheap. Fairly good equipment and classes.
Positive experience: Cheap gym with a sauna
Fantastic experience: Great gym!
