YMCA Jamboree Heights

Fantastic experience: Went to the Physio there. Very professional good service.

Negative experience: After four years of continuous enrollment at YMCA Jamberoo Heights, my daughter’s progression through the gymnastics program has been notably slow. Starting from step 2, she has only advanced to step 5, where she has been stagnant for over a year. Despite this prolonged period, the instructors have not successfully addressed her weak points, nor have they provided a clear strategy for improvement. The lack of progress has not only been frustrating for our family but has also led to a significant decrease in my daughter’s confidence and enthusiasm for the sport. It appears that the center’s focus may be more on financial gain rather than the developmental needs and well-being of the children. This experience has been disheartening, and it seems that the flourishing process, which should be a time of growth and encouragement, is being overshadowed by a lack of personalized attention and care.

Fantastic experience: Kids do gymnastics here. Have been coming for years. Very happy so far. Don’t like the new website for bookings but staff are always happy to help if any issues.

Negative experience: They made it very difficult for my child to sign up to gymnastics, been waiting over 3 months...couldnt get a spot let alone a phone call... they shouldnt make it so complicated to sign up your kids..dont bother because they dont want your children or your money it seems.

Fantastic experience: I have visited and joined this YMCA from time to time over the years I've lived in the Centenary area. I have mostly joined classes in winter when my other activities are less due to the cold dry weather. These days perhaps the summer is rather hot for those outdoor activities but it's great to know the gym is well air-conditioned so now attending in summer is fine too! This YMCA is a real community hub with lots of folk of various ages, including kids, attending for classes, gym and other activities. I really enjoy that it is not too pretentious and 'showy'!! A more down to earth environment to get on with things rather than 'pose it up', I'll say! The facilities are always kept clean and there are showers and hair-dryers etc. Cold drinks and icecreams for sale. Plenty of off street parking. There is good respect for environment everyone's hygiene ensured by the practices instilled in members. A really vital part as there are also older folk and some with health concerns. I am in great admiration of the Cancer Survivor Program that runs at this venue. It serves to support people going through or post cancer treatment. I recently learnt it was established by a lady involved with this Jamboree Heights business and it has been implemented in many other venues since. Wow!! what a brilliant and heartfelt initiative. Incredible non judgemental support for people so much in need of these activities and connections. Ten out of Ten!!

Fantastic experience: Amazing coaches and they really look after the kids and the training.

Fantastic experience: Nice and quiet with friendly staffs.

Positive experience: Went to a gymnastics competition. Well run with sales of drinks and food outside venue

Negative experience: Kids gymnastics - Today I got disappointed when I called for first time to ask move my girl class for later time or another day (parent unavailability). reception answered (in a rude way) you would not do it, only accepted reason is sickness. you will lose your money no choice! this much strictness and inflexibility is necessary?

Fantastic experience: Great pysio

Fantastic experience: A well equipped gym with 24 hour access. Plenty of parking. A good choice for classes, with excellent instructors.

Fantastic experience: Nice place with good facilities

Positive experience: We've been attending Gym Play each Wednesday during February to avail the bring a friend offer and my daughter and fellow friend have thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The lady who runs the sessions is very professional and great with the kids during the sing and dance time. Unfortunately, I didn't appreciate the rude receptionist though who after approaching the counter today and advising her I wanted to pay for 2 she proceeded to charge me $25. After quickly questioning her she said she assumed I meant I was bringing 2 children myself from the same family and that I should have stated this. Note: your business's FB ad doesn't specify this except for "bring a friend" After me clarifying further that I was indeed bringing my daughter's friend she finalised payment with a huff and a puff. Unprofessional, especially if 1. YMCA is trying to increase the number of new memberships with a special taster offer. 2. Extremely unprofessional to have someone working on reception who doesn't recall seeing familiar faces on a weekly basis and doesn't even bother greeting you with a smile.

Fantastic experience: Great facility

Fantastic experience: Great place for kids to run around and enjoy the equipment provided

Fantastic experience: Fantastic learning experience for children. They will learn and grow

Positive experience: Nice and quiet gym, friendly staff and plenty of parking space. Nice change rooms, hand sanitizer and disenfectant spray through out as well to wipe down equipment. Older machines but everything you need for a good workout and plenty of dumbbells.

Fantastic experience: Best barbershop

Fantastic experience: Been here 6+ years!

Positive experience: Great place for kids gymnastics

Fantastic experience: We love the teachers and facilities at YMCA Jamboree Heights. My son attends the Ninja Gym and my daughter is in the Steps program...both are amazing! Wish we had signed them up earlier!

Negative experience: DON’T recommend at all for sending kids. Especially boys to join their gymnastics programs. Today they have cancelled a class on the second last week program because the instructor couldn’t make it, and I have 2 boys in the class. They expect people to arrange a makeup lesson just within one and half week with not much same classes provided and they just notified people 2 hours before the class starts The first thing is, I was surprise then such a big YMCA and they will not even have a backup teacher. And they expect people arrange a makeup lesson just in only 1.5 weeks left with not much options of the same classes. Secondly, because of the boys were both sick twice in this term, and another boy sick once (I have 3 boys enrolled with them) and I have followed their instructions to submit the doctor certificate to either arrange makeup or saving credits for next enrolment. I couldn’t arrange makeups before since they have so less options. So I expected I have 5 lessons credits in my account, ( that’s not including the lesson they cancelled themselves) but the manager said that I just only have 3 ‍♀️ I didn’t know how they work out. But I am too tired to argue with the manager about that. In the end I just arranged makeups for 2 boys tomorrow, though I am tight in my schedules, and cannot do makeups next week which is the last week of the term since we will be away. I understand sometime kids are sick will loss credits with some lessons. But if the place is disorganised by itself with not much options for the customers. AND need to put the blame on the customers. That is not acceptable. Staff was not helping much. Then the staff got the manager to talk to me which I felt even worse. The manager talked to me with absolutely no smiles, the way she expressed to me was unfriendly, arrogantly and tried to show me that I was the one who is non reasonable and a woman that knows nothing. I was with them 2 years with sending 2 kids and 3 kids this term. I decided not to continue with my kids with them next year. Very disappointing to end up in this way...

Positive experience: Reasonably priced gymnastics programs. Plenty of parking. Birthday parties available, which is cool.

Fantastic experience: I've been using this gym for a decade or more and I keep going back there year on year, not just because they have everything that I need to train properly, they also have kind, helpful staff. Over the years, I’ve met many lovely people there, both staff and patrons. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Lots of options for classes, great value for money.

Fantastic experience: Being a brand new member (2.5 weeks so far) I have to say my experience has been nothing but positive. The team have been so welcoming and the classes have been professional but fun. The members have also been welcoming making it an even better experience. An overall positive experience - thank you YMCA Jamboree Heights.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Y-West gym Jamboree Heights since 2011. They have awesome facilities, a good range of free weights, machines and cardio, and it's never too packed like other larger gyms I've visited, you can always get the piece of equipment you want. They offer a range of quality classes included with membership and my son also enjoys the toddler gymnastics on Saturdays. All the staff are super friendly and do an amazing job! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I have been a full time member of the Y-West since 1991. I have had an excellent, professional relationship with most of the staff over the years. The communication has been very good as well. In the last eight years since I took early retirement from work, I have been trying to attend every day and enjoyed every minute of it.

Fantastic experience: No better gym

Fantastic experience: We love the family Gymnastics classes. Miss 2 and Mr 3 always have a blast and learn so many new skills. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Great gym

Fantastic experience: Easily the best YMCA in Jamboree Heights... Yeah!

Fantastic experience: Kindergym is fantastic for the littlies. My 2yo has been going for a year and he loves the balance of free-range exploring in the big gym space (foam pit FTW!) and structured, themed courses to challenge him. We tried a couple of other places initially but they just weren't quite right. Big props to instructor Miss Yolande for creating such a fun, safe environment! It is so nice to see my little guy's body confidence growing from week to week as he uses the skills he works on at gym out in the wider world. I'd suggest sticking to morning classes if possible though because I've heard the gym can get very hot in the arvo.

Fantastic experience: My daughter really like it, so I guess it must be good:)

Fantastic experience: My cousin goes there for gymnastics lessons and went there to watch her practice. The place got an amazing facility and equipment, not to mention the huge area where the gymnasts can run, jump, and twirl without banging on each other. I noticed friendly staff and disciplined instructors that are pretty much approachable. Awesome!

Fantastic experience: Joined here last year for their cancer survivors programme. Loved the atmosphere and friendliness of the staff. Got huge benefit from the program so signed up for stage 2. Their stage 1 program is free so if you know anyone who is going through or has gone through cancer let them know. It's a wonderful programme

Fantastic experience: They have superlative programs for children.

Positive experience: Great place to get fit but there is this one coach called Barbra who is mean but she might have left but I don't know we left because she was too mean

Fantastic experience: My daughter has been attending Gymnastics classes here since 2011. She absolutely loves her coaches and the team spirit all the atheltes have. As a parent I love the friendly, welcoming and professional manner of this amazing gymnastics club. These guys are really helping my daughter shine.

Positive experience: This is great gym. Wide variety of equipment in a well laid out, tidy space. Typically I go in the weekend, so it's fairly quiet. Not sure how busy it gets during peak times. They've also recently renovated their aerobics suite which looks great.

Fantastic experience: Great gym

Negative experience: Have not used GYM but would definitely NOT recommend ANY of the children's programs especially the GYMNSTICS . The Wednesday program they run where all kids of all ages can come have at least 100 people attend with older kids bullying younger ones and accidents galore kids falling off trampolines and ropes and pushing other kids off beams with no parents or the 2 people there of the YMCA supervising 100 people in sight. The pre kindy program isn't accredited to call it a prekindy and there is an older red headed lady who I've actively seen swearing in front of the children and being really mean to them. They are as disorganized as they come and just waiting for a lawsuit. Had a friends kid who did gymnastics there and they made up some lie and told him his kid couldn't be in a class after they already registered him a month before for it and didn't even give him his money back ! Choose any other gymnastics place but this one and take your kids elsewhere!

Fantastic experience: Brilliant.

Fantastic experience: There are many classes you can take here, it is also great for parents with children as there is a crèche inside. Reception staff can make coffee for $4 and it’s definitely yummy coffee. My kids come here for Judo on a Saturday morning and there is also gymnastics for little children.

Positive experience: Love the childcare. Best people. Great fun for the kids

Fantastic experience: Great staff, equipment and group fitness programs.

Positive experience: Good place, I miss it

Positive experience: Good for kids gymnastics but lack of air conditioning in the gymnasium makes classes pretty uncomfortable in summer. Teachers are lovely and the front desk staff are helpful. Water bubblers available for water refills. Stars into the gymnasium so not wheelchair or pram friendly for spectators.

Positive experience: Good, family-oriented place. No frills (except for the sauna), but the membership prices reflect this. Some of the facilities are in the process of much-needed upgrade.

Fantastic experience: Just had my first fitness class. Hsd a great time. The fitness instructor was great. The staff are very friendly and very helpful.
