The Campbellford site is great! A HUGE shout out to the swim instructor Noah.
He was INCREDIBLE with our daughter Hannah.
Honestly he is worth it alone to come and sign your kids up to the Campbellford YMCA.

I really don't see how Cobourg YMCA thinks they are special enough to charge more for a monthly membership then YMCA in Toronto, Kingston, Muskoka, Owen sound Ottawa and other higher end YMCA's that offer more and have more to do and see in their town. Cobourg is a small town that sucks. Their membership should be cheaper than those other places.

I have been going to the ymca for about a year now and i can definitely say that they are a very welcoming group, are rarely rude and can adress when something goes wrong, ive mostly just went inside the playground gym which is perfect for playimg basket ball as well as other sports such as soccer and hockey but they gym in the upper part of the ymca is a judgement free zone and a place where you can relax and workout. Overall this is a great place for getting into ahae and meeting new friends. The reason as to why this isn't 5 stars is because their hot tub is closed every other day. When i go tgeir to swim the water is on the colder side so i like to go into the hot tub to warm up but a lot of the time i can't do that and it just sucks.

The Cobourg YMCA has been an absolute saviour to me as a new mum. The Mothers of Newborns program allowed me a free membership for a year plus free daycare hours. They offer baby and mom workout and pool classes that are included as well. Jessica at the drop off daycare is so sweet and caring with the kids. Thank you to all the awesome employees at the Cobourg Y. You all have been lifesavers. X

I’ve been a member at the Cobourg location now for almost 2 years, and I’m absolutely disgusted by the way they are managing their operations. Tier employees, and management as a collective

On September 15th of 2024, I drew the line when a Constable Emmerston of the Cobourg Police not only blocked me from leaving the parking lot, but proceeded to have a lengthy conversation with his boyfriend driving a grey Ford F150 over 30 mins as documented Just to to detain me for an additional 10 minutes while he “checks “ my credentials.. absolutely a disgrace and waste of our taxes!

I’ve had a few issues with “Maria” and a one other, embarrassing me and other in front of other customers at check in , singled me out for one reason or another

This is ridiculous! For what we pay as members to a PRIVATE CLUB, we should not have to deal with their incompetence

I personally am seeking better accommodation ✌️

The ymca staff weren't following simple directions whether they couldn't understand me they need too have translator because we are aware this is an english/French dominant country this hasn't changed for 150+ years and I had too face banking issues because the YMCA STAFF made an UNAUTHORIZED TRANSACTION then later that Night Charging me for my Membership which I was not informed it was going too be taken out of my bank account later, I was informed I was paying for my membership right there and I even asked too pay for the membership while I was there, 9/10 times when I would use there showers I would come back home with hives and rashes on my feet (Odd enough this is the only gym in town that has happened) i was told they are cleaned every hour but I even asked an employee one day how much it's really cleaned, he told me they aren't cleaned much at all and it's usually pushed towards the end of the night and after I ended asking more employees about the sanitization and only the manager was telling me they where cleaned EVERY HOUR, but some of the actual cleaners informed me otherwise on top of the first cleaner I asked, from the lack of honesty too the borderline fraud this establishment has committed I will go no further in being a member here and will not recommend this facility too anyone

Not impressed at all with the YMCA in Cobourg anymore. I put my daughter in their camp, she had a head injury and nobody called me all day - when I picked her up she had a headache and nausea. I put her in swimming lessons, nobody taught her how to tread water they just had her jump in the deep end sputtering with her mouth barely out of the water, which made her lose confidence she took years to build (she's only 5), and caused my husband and I a huge amount of anxiety. Then they had a "lesson" where older kids were throwing balls past the smaller kids' heads while they were jumping into the deep end again, distracting the instructor and lifeguard until one of the mothers in our group complained and made them stop. It was unbelievable really. We were not reimbursed for that class. Her last class we drove back 3 hours from a cottage only to be told it was canceled. No reimbursement there either. The Aquatics Coordinator doesn't seem to care about the waste of time and money. All in all, terrible communication in the camp, terrible customer service in the swimming lessons and my daughter can't think of anything to show my family what she has learned. Complete waste. We are going to Port Hope J.B. instead at this point.

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.
