Capital District YMCA - Glenville Branch at 127 Droms Road, Scotia, New York.

We have been members for a few years but it's often hard to use the facilities as a member since they seem to make most of their money by scheduling other events and classes and thus open times for the gym, pool etc are quite limited. So as a member what are we paying for? You go there and find that some class or event is going on and you can't even use the place you are a member of. Last week I was told there was open gym and when we got there found out it was actually only half open gym(volleyball on other side- again another class)and with the 8 or so boys already using the court, not enough room for us and we ended up just leaving. It's just not right. And you don't really save that much as a member compared to a non-member if you take classes or lessons. The workout gym is pretty small here too. The trails in back are nice and the playground is ok for the kids, but doesn't make up for the other issues. A few weeks back, someone had thrown-up in the bathroom and when I told the front desk person, she said for me to basically find the custodian myself and let him know. Really? Unfortunately, it seems the y today is more about the $$ than it's members. If you need a place just to workout, there are a lot better and cheaper options. We cancelled before and resigned due to a veterans discount, but it still doesn't seem a good value imho. Pretty sad.
