Escondido YMCA - A Campus for Community Well-Being Gymnastics Center - Escondido, California

If I could give 0 stars I would. YMCA used to be such a great community location and now they make it known it’s a money grab. I have been to several YMCAs in the area due to my daughters gymnastics competitions and Palomar is by far the worst in so many levels. It’s dark and dingy and smells in every building like musty old socks. The staff is all rude and somehow are trained to have a zero tolerance policy on anything unless they collect some kind of money from you. Parking is always nightmare and you leave with a headache from all the frustrations every time. We dread when we have to come here for competitions. I don’t know where all the money they collect for everything goes but it’s definitely a pocket and not the facilities. Not a big review writer but this is an every time thing here. Keep you and your family away from this garbage pit.

At least when your local have an event and charge admission, at least turn on the air conditioning. The only thing the fan does is throw the same hot air.

Gymnastics program is pretty outdated but Ms. Heidi is still trucking along bless her heart 😊 It's just unfortunate that anytime a fresh new face gets hired with updated coaching skills she somehow finds a way to make them disappear

I love their child watch. The staff there is the sweetest and my kids love going there. The facility itself is old but very clean and well maintained. I go to the gym, group exercise classes and pool and have no complaints.

The front desk, the swimming coaches and the staff in general are awesome, caring, friendly people. The members in the gym are super friendly. It's the best of San Diego Y,s.

Why aren't they open yet
My family misses being there 🙁

I love the Palomar YMCA because it is clean, the staff is very friendly and helpful, and the price is definitely great. They do offer scholarships based on income. My family qualified for one, so I pay a mere $20 per month for 5 people. All of the classes I have tried have been very good. Right now, my favorite is Bender Ball because it is new and different for me. The thing that really makes this YMCA stand out for me is the salt water therapy pool. OMG... I am training for roller derby, and NOTHING gets my sore body to relax like a soak in the therapy pool! Lastly, I have a 10 year old son who comes to this YMCA with me. He loves the classes, swimming, and the workout room. There are many machines that he is able to use. There has been an upgrade recently. Many new machines and features have been added at this facility. I can't wait to go today to try them out. There are also many incentives to come work out or just relax, and free training in additional to the staff always available to help. Gosh, so many great reasons to come to this YMCA... Free days for people to come try it out ..

Waited 1 -1/2 hrs for covid test (12-28-21) along with at least 50 other people no one showed up but still had their A-frame with qr code out also of their website they stated they are open. At some point they changed it to temporary closed without informing people in line of course No one showed up and left us literally in the rain
