North Canton Community Building YMCA

I am beyond disappointed with my experience at the North Canton YMCA. As a mother, I enrolled my 5-year-old son in swim lessons because I wanted him to learn to swim in a safe, supportive, and encouraging environment. Instead, what I witnessed during his lesson left me shocked and heartbroken. The swim lesson was stopped before it was completed because I was concerned about what I believed was the swim instructor's aggressive treatment of my son. At that point, both the YMCA director and I stepped in to confront the instructor about the way she had handled my child. It was only after being confronted about her actions that the instructor claimed my son had bitten her. I was watching the lesson from above the entire time and did not see my son bite her. I asked that the YMCA review the security camera footage so the situation could be fairly evaluated, but I felt my concerns were never properly investigated. Instead of reviewing the footage and determining what actually happened, the YMCA dismissed my 5-year-old son from swim activities and recommended that he attend another location. As a parent, it was heartbreaking to see my child excluded instead of receiving the patience, kindn

This place is wonderful. The staff are very helpful and nice, they have so much to help you stay active, has a pool to do laps and casual swim, a dry and a steam sauna, you can shower l, no need to bring soap they provide it, there's also a lounge area with air hockey, a pool table, fooseball. Vending machines if you need a drink or snacks, there are games with the treadmills and bikes that are interactive with your workout that make things interesting. If you dont bring your own towel for swimming its 1 dollar, you need to bring cash for that, there's also the option of towel service for 7 dollars a month.

Love this facility. Clean and well maintained and wide variety of classes. Only complaint is it's always hot like a sauna every time I go in. Why they have heaters in front of the cardio equipment upstairs is beyond me. Hot air blowing on you while you're doing cardio is miserable. Heat rises so heaters are unnecessary upstairs.

They have a wide variety of exercise machines. They offer financing for those who need it. They have trained staff and personal trainers. They offer a variety of exercise programs for everyone. They have personal trainers for a extra fee who provide one on one training. They also have a swimming pool, steam room and sauna. The pool is available now. However, the jacuzzi is not working yet. They offer child care for parents with young children. Members can rent a locker but many are free though. There is a basketball court with a padded walking track above it.

This is a very nice YMCA. However, when I walked in, a few areas were closed due to a flood including the pool, spa and racquetball courts. Very bummed. Hope it reopens soon and I will come back. Staff is nice. But since I’m from Medina County and not Stark, I had to tell them I’m visiting from another county. Took a lot more time than expected. Heads up, if any of you guys go to a YMCA that isn’t your local YMCA, unfortunately you have to tell the front desk that you are visiting another YMCA from a different county. They have a different sign in screen on their computers for that. More positive things about this YMCA, the locker rooms and showers are extremely clean and huge. Changing rooms are clean and organized. The whole facility is well kept. Gymnasium is huge, restrooms are clean. They also have a game room which is huge and very fun. They also have a variety of both men and boys locker rooms which means, men’s locker rooms are for 18 years or older and the boys locker rooms would be for any boy under the age of 18. That’s cool. I just want to see the pool, spa, and racquetball courts reopened soon
