YMCA Northumberland Cobourg

Im new to cobourg and during a cold spell i took my child here for a day of activities. Ive been to many Y's . Im giving this 3 stars because the staff is great, however. . The facilities itself is kind decrepit. The pool is freezing ! Even the lifeguards were wearing sweaters. The roof leaks like crazy and its a little expensive. I paid 33$ for myself, wife and 5 yrs old. When we were leaving the clerk at the front counter gave us a free 2 week membership. Gee.... thx, i could have used that on my way in 2 hrs ago

I'm currently a member. I like the place. I just wish they didn't let the local bums have access to the paying members locker room. I came out of the sauna and a stinky homeless guy was flossing his toes with my towel. The smell made me sick. Another time I went into the shower and a different bum was sitting on the showee floor cross legged rocking back and forth. They shouldn't charge so much money if they want to allow this service to non paying citizens.

We are members a the Cobourg YMCA. The work-out area is decent. The timing for their classes never works out because I work full time so I can't comment on those. The change rooms are old (the family one is fairly new but has inadequate exhaust fans so it's always moist and moldy) and need updating but the redeeming feature is definitely the steam room. My kids love the hot tub after swim lessons because yes, the pool is incredibly cold - so cold that I've bought wetsuits for my kids during lessons. The play structure is very fun. The staff is friendly.

Totally awful employees. Low information employees are incredibly rude and belligerent. I saw them call the cops because a 65-year-old man let his mask slip below his nose. When cancelling membership they will make you wait months for a refund when they are happy to charge up front. Awful, awful people. Would NEVER recommend that anyone ever go to this location. Nothing Christian about the place, at all!

Nice, never swam here before but pool always smell yummy yum. normally just gym around in the gym, gym has good treadmill for good run, gym has weights too = good.-Jim

Had my daughters birthday there, a lot of employees didn’t know exactly what they were talking about and wasn’t very smart with their knowledge. 2 in half hours also didn’t give much time to do a whole lot for a birthday, we had to ask to have the kids play on the jungle gym as it was included and didn’t have much time as i stated, the kids had a great time which was awesome, but I had also asked one of the employees if they had a FREEZER for an ice cream cake as I wanted to double check, before bringing it. they stated YES they do. But put it in a fridge, I was wondering why it was so soft. After playing for a bit I went and asked them if we can get our ice cream cake as we were leaving, one of the ladies brought it out… just dripping on the floor and melted, we then said we’ll there is no point in bringing it now, because it was completely melted and nothing to it. Why bring it home so it can be a big mess in our car? One of the ladies made a comment stating “just put the lid on it and put it in a freezer and it will freeze right back up” which makes 0 sense as it was already melted? And ice cream cake is not cheap. Won’t be going back to that location again though.

Erin was such a great help on the phone. During our conversation she did let me know she only started a short while ago so I thought I’d leave you a review because she’s doing amazing!She returned my call so I didn’t need to wait on hold, was thorough, professional and expressed an interest in helping me with my inquiry.

Michelle was super helpful when I ran into an issue with my membership, and helped me find the best solution for my particular problem. All other staff that I came across were very friendly too. Thanks again Michelle!

The gym is well equipped with tons of different weight machines, free weights, resistance bands. Cardio machines are mostly treadmills and ellipticals but there are also a few bikes, stairmills, rowing machines, and a handbike. Downstairs there's a spinning room with spinning bikes. Classes I've attended are very good. Staff are super friendly and helpful. They let you cancel your membership at any time and they put my membership on hold for covid, no questions asked.
