The building has been undergoing a remodel since June 2016. It was closed completely for about a week and then reopened with some of its facilities, including the weight training equipment, available. However the mens bathroom was closed, so I had to put my gym clothes on at home, drive to the Y for my exercise routine and return home to shower and put on my regular clothes. During warm weather, this was an inconvenience but it became impractical when winter weather set in. Walking to my parked car in my sweaty gym clothes in the cold was unhealthy and unacceptable. So in the months of November, December and January I couldnt use the gym at all. Finally, in February 2017 the mens bathroom opened. The new layout of the bathroom is gravely deficient. When I first joined the Albany Y in 2003, there was enough room for three men to change their clothes at the same time. A few years later the bathroom was mildly remodeled leaving room for only two the change at the same time. Now, the newest remodel leaves room for only one man to change at once. The old roomy metal lockers have been replaced by small, cheap particle-board lockers that will probably last only a couple of years. The shower room lacks soap dispensers, towel racks and hot water. (Water temperature choice is room-temperature or cold.) The selection of weight-training and cardio machines has been improved, but that doesnt make up for the sub-normal bathroom. Overall rating: D+.

Mixed information. We were camping in the area and had no access to showers. One day the let us purchase a quick pass to use the showers. Three days later and several layers of grime, we make the trek up here only to be denied any entrance and given no help. I wont be supporting the YMCA organization anymore.

My daughter attend the YMCA camps for the summer. They seem to have a good time. The staff puts alot of effort in making sure the kids are enjoying themselves.
