Northwest YMCA | YMCA of Fort Worth

We‘ve done volleyball through the Y not because the organization is well put together at all but because we had a great coach and team dynamic. The organization has decided to suspend one of our players with no warning and zero proof of bullying allegations. Charity claims she attended all the games and apparently saw the “bullying” herself over the years yet this is the first time we ever hear of it. The only bullying that happened was from jealous, immature, parents from other teams towards our girls, yet nothing was ever done about that.

Amy's classes are great Keeps me motivated and wanting me to come back and workout all over again. Zumba and Cardio Power. All the people I have met there are really friendly and willing to help. Nice.

Unorganized. Unprofessional. Irresponsible. Do not sign your children up for the Athletics programs because they are complete disasters. They take your money and fail to deliver on the programs as promised. My son signed up for the 8th grade basketball team and it has been a complete nightmare. There aren't enough kids to make a team and the YMCA can't figure out a solution! I suggested adding the kids from the incomplete team to other teams so at least they can play time but I guess that's too complicated for the Y to figure out! They haven't provided a coach so parents have had to step in. Games are canceled last minute, practices are canceled last minute. I've reached out to the program director Alexis multiple times via text and email over the past 3 weeks but she has not bothered to reply. I reached out to her boss Charity and again got no help. They refuse to refund the the sign up fees stating they have a no refund policy even though they failed to deliver what was expected. Huge disaster. Don't disappoint your kids by signing them up for this "program".

This is from a hiring standpoint, they are awful. Communication is less than a star rating. I drove all over town getting finger prints, pedigree information and for simply radio silence after. There HR has absolutely no professionalism. AVOID AT ALL COST! Especially if you are in the process with a one Teresa Newton. She will have you do what I did, to never respond afterwords. This is just a warning, so others don’t have to waste their time and money.

This month is my wife’s and my 1 year anniversary at the Northwest YMCA, and what a fantastic year it’s been. Everyone, and I mean everyone, working there is incredibly helpful and inviting. From Arturo checking us in first thing in the morning for our cycling class, to the friendly “see you tomorrow” when we leave. There are a few folks we’d like to call out as we’ve spent much time with them this year. Donna: She is a machine! Her humor and motivation in her Cycling, Young at Heart and Silver Sneakers makes us not want to miss a day of her classes. Her commitment to the various AOA activities is also inspirational and very much appreciated. Carol: We also LOVE to attend Carol’s Gentle Yoga and Summer Swim Classes. Again, she adds a good mix of humor and motivation to keep us coming back to her classes. Crystal: We recently signed up for Personal Training sessions with Crystal. What a fantastic person she is. Like Donna and Carol, she’s friendly, humorous and motivational which keep us on track to reaching our health goals. She pushes us to do more, but is great with checking in to make sure we’re not over-doing things. Her knowledge of the body is awesome! Another important thing we’ve noticed at the YMCA is the camaraderie the instructors and staff have helped build within the members themselves. The first time we stepped into a class we were greeted by longtime members who were not only welcoming, but also helpful in getting us set up with the right equipment for the class. People check in on one another and are concerned if someone misses more than a couple of classes. We can see the many friendships that have been built here, which is also a motivation for folks to keep coming back and stay active. This really shows the community built by your staff and organization. Thank you for the opportunity to share my thoughts and experiences with you. Keep up the great work and look for us to happily continue to come in for years to come.
