Great programs in a clean and friendly environment The staff is engaging and supportive. Patrons are cheerful read more

I used to go here years ago and it was a great place back then. Great YMCA. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Nice people, but the hours are still limited. I need a club that is convenient for me, not for them. The interior has changed since Covid. The open gym has now been walled off. And people are different. Everyone with their ear pods in and no one speaking- totally, totally creepy. It's also expensive to be a member. Starting to think about an alternate gym. read more

I am a member and prior to COVID I attended classes regularly... right now I'm trying to see what classes are available.... Not finding the info needed. read more

Clean pool, friendly staff, welcoming people. I swim every day! Sometimes they have a lifeguard shortage, but that's very rare. All in all, it's the best club I've ever joined. The cheapest, too. And I can go to any YMCA when I travel. read more

A very clean, comfortable facility with welcoming staff, knowledgeable and fun instructors, and lots of classes to choose from, all included in a monthly fee. Plus Peloton membership is also included in the same fee! read more

Account issues with overcharging caused by a former employee who didn't follow through on canceling my membership. Ghosted by the staff at this facility, nothing, no replies to emails and voicemails. The main YMCA office in Chicago is now dealing with the issue. Glad we have ended our association with YCMA, I'm not paying for someone to sit around and ignore their responsibilities. read more

My home away from home! To stay in any reasonable kind of shape at my rapidly advancing age, I do water workouts almost every day. After visiting most of the suburban YMCA pools over the past decade, I happily decided to take up "residence" at Indian Boundary. The staff is careful, conscientious, and friendly; the pool and locker rooms are well maintained. Plus the view out the windows while I enjoy my swim is peaceful and relaxing no matter the season. read more

Good programs for seniors. Good exercise and fun to spend time with friends. Friendly staff and good instructors.

so the ymca closes at 5pm on Saturdays- but the sauna closes at 4:30??? what? I was in the sauna and light went out at 4:30!!! why! luckily I went as a free guest, cuz I'd never pay to be a member here!!!! read more

why do they have such rude employees here! I had to deal with Maria, and I should have left. she was just rude and I wanted to cancel my membership, I had a few questions, but she reluctantly answered them . I'll go online and see what I can do. read more

I mean the place has hit rock bottom what else can I say. Do not go to this grimy place, not even to take a whiz or a pit stop. The child care, what can I say the children basically take care of themselves, lol. XOXO LOVE YOU GUYS From a regular at Indian Boundary YMCA read more

Had enough. Done with the place. Downgrade another star to the lowest Yelp will let me. The communication to the membership has been beyond abysmal - it is NON EXISTENT. When they shut down in the middle of March 2020, after already paying a full month's membership, they ceased charging. For a couple months. Then, all of a sudden, they began charging my credit card again. Without ANY notification. I did not know until I opened my credit card statement the next month. There was nothing on their website. Apparently they had reopened on a VERY restrictive basis with limited features, complicated rules, limited times and locker rooms and showers off limits. A few areas were open but with ridiculous, unworkable rules and restrictions. To go swimming, you had to 1) Try to find (nearly impossible) a reservation for a 45 minute time slot, 2) Arrive with your swim suit UNDER your street clothes, 3) Strip down from your street clothes on the pool deck and 4) When done towel off on the deck and put your street clothes back on over your wet swim suit and go home smelling like chlorine. As of today, May 5, this is still their rule. I have yet to see that the virus is spread in showers and swimming pools. Still they charged the full monthly fee. I figured I paid out $296.80 for nothing, until I wised up and suspended, then cancelled the membership. Further, rates for a single adult are far higher than other health clubs in the area, for far less amenities. All the while they ARE able to aggressively communicate on their website the latest Radical Leftist Social Justice Warrior campaigns (from their website main page May 2021): April 19, 2021 Showing up for children of color in our communities March 19, 2021 Statement from the YMCA of Metropolitan Chicago on anti-Asian violence April 30, 2021 Education and action are habits: reflecting on the Equity Challenge They have been deliberately deceptive. Just like with the Silver Sneakers debacle I described in an earlier post. The building may look nice, but the flagrant mis-management here is a deal breaker. read more

Front desk workers are so rude here! I was signing up for a membership and 'Maria' was treating me like a criminal because HER employee incorrectly submitted my information into their system when signing up. Also the price point for a membership v. the cleanliness of the building makes absolutely no sense. Please get it together! read more

My family go either this YMCA or Kroehler YMCA as we live kind of in the middle. The facility is newer than the Naperville one, is fairly clean and offers quite a bit programs for kids and adults. The staff has been very helpful every time I needed the help. I loved the Free Zumba session they offer vs Kroehler charges a fee for Zumba. Both of instructors are great and energetic. Kids also liked the swimming lessons. The family locker room is nice and has plenty of lockers and shower room. However the shower space in lady locker room is small and old. read more

Senior citizens beware! This YMCA location is scamming money from seniors when converting from regular membership to Silver Sneakers program. This is what they've been doing: At this Y our monthly membership cycle was from the 15th of the month to the 14th of the following month. When starting Silver Sneakers for first time at the beginning of the eligible month, our prepaid membership fee spilled over into that month essentially "allowing" the Y to get paid twice for those first 14 days. This is what happened to me last year when I joined Silver Sneakers. They did not alert me that the fee (paid via a credit card) was not adjusted so I ended up paying for the first 14 days of the month in which I was getting (free) Silver Sneakers benefits! I just assumed they made the adjustment and we were using my wife's credit card and she continued as a regular member, so I personally didn't check and it kinda "fell between the cracks". Well, my wife went on Silver Sneakers last month and we caught them this time. Their initial response was essentially "that's just the way it is; can't be changed because your membership fee spills over for 14 days; blahblahblah". Then after repeating this response to us 3 times, we pushed back and simply said we can't allow this to happen. They eventually agreed to refund her, but we quit after we then finally found out they had pulled this on me last year and didn't notify us. I got them to agree to a refund for me, but haven't got it yet and not sure when to expect it (please see Kathleen J's comment from 8/19/2014 and you'll see that this "Christian" association evidently doesn't prioritize paying people what's owed to them). I'll update this when and if I get paid. NOTE: we finally received the refund! The real question and concern here is: How many other seniors have they pulled this scam on?!! We have other avenues we're going to pursue to attempt to find this out. Looks like this has been going on for years! We don't know if it's happening at other locations, but - let's face it - it wouldn't surprise us. If you went on Silver Sneakers from a regular membership, check your bank or credit card statements! Please message me and I'll be happy to supply more details of this sneaky trick they're pulling including the cast of characters. read more

Parents beware: we signed up for what we thought was 3 weeks of swim. When the 3 weeks was up we emailed to cancel. 6 months later found out they were still charging me a monthly fee because I had emailed the head of swim but not also copied the head of membership. How would I know to do that?? Why didn't they advise I do that back in March when I requested to cancel? When I asked for a refund they then said I had requested to cancel swim but never canceled my participation pass. I'm so confused and so sad. I have long supported local YMCAs. Avoid this one. Our experience with feeling scammed feels a lot like what's in these reviews. We won't be back. read more

It's the ymca so you're probably familiar going in but this is a great place to work out. If your lifting there is a small weight room plus a secondary room with free weights and other dumbbells. Staff is great and always accommodating, always willing to listen and help solve issues. read more

Nice facility. Bigger than the LaGrange YMCA, where my family and I usually go. The supervisors at the child zone at this YMCA were ok, but would have been nice if they seemed like they cared a little bit, and to have been notified right away of my daughter who pooped in her diaper. Not sure how long she was in a poopy diaper, but she had a near blowout! The LaGrange child zone supervisors are really good about letting us know ASAP, and they seem to genuinely care about watching the kids. Other than that, the workout rooms have nice equipment and suited my needs. read more

We had been members here for about a year and a half, and it was all fine until we canceled our membership (due to a pending move), and I asked to cancel the summer classes I had enrolled my kids in. Between the 5 classes I asked to cancel (way back on June 5), I should have a refund coming to me of $453. I have spoken to the person I was referred to on the phone multiple times, and sent her multiple email requests, but my money still has not been refunded. I requested to cancel the enrollment before any of the classes had started. So, beware. Because I am still waiting for my refund, I didn't have any money left to enroll my kids in other classes, so their summer was a bit disappointing. **Update** After receiving no further replies from the PIC at Indian Boundary, I contacted the supervisor, who informed me that the PIC no longer worked at that location. She had promised to submit the request for my refund. That was October 17. Today is November 2 and I have still not received any of the refund. read more

Annie is the best and kindest instructor for turbo kick and if you haven't tried it yet you should. She will take the time to make sure you are getting a good workout without injuries read more

I just became a member a few months ago and so far I have had a great experience. The staff is polite and the place is clean. I go for the free group workouts which are great and great teachers I love the ones I have gone to. The only thing I hate is that I enrolled my 8 month old into swimming classes. I love the swim teacher he is the best but I hate the pool. You change your child go into the pool waiting to go in and as soon as you go in the pool. My poor kid is trembeling because it is freezing. They say the water is 85 degrees more like 70 degrees. Then when you get out of the pool and walk into the family changing room a blast of cold air hits you. I am trying so hard so my poor llittle guy doesnt get sick. This is the only thing they need to fix and then it is perfect ha ha. read more

Indian Boundary YMCA - Getting ready for swimming classes - Gyms Near Me - Downers Grove, Illinois

This has been a wonderful place for my family. The swimming pool and basketball courts and tracks are the best. Very flexible hours to come workout any day. Everyone is very friendly and there are so many workout classes. A climbing wall is awesome and cool. Great facility and really nice staff!!! read more

I am leaving a 5-star review to offset the idiotic 1-star reviews below. The YMCA is a very friendly place. They offer numerous exercise opportunities in a family setting for diverse backgrounds for all ages. Is it perfect all the time? No. (Regarding the 1-star reviews a few years ago: leave it to an old, cheap Geezer to carp about $10. The guy is already ecstatic to join the silver-sneaker program to shift more of the cost of running this place onto us young, working folks and now he's carping about a 2-week overlap in fees. Geeze - go steal a roll of toilet paper to make up the difference.) Anyhow, this place is losing membership fast b/c of all the $20 / month exercise clubs popping. Old Geezer should just go there b/c that's probably cheaper than his $25 / month silver sneaker rate. read more

I'm a city-dweller who has the good fortune of working out in Downers Grove. Heh. Anyhow, now that I-290 is a wash for the next few months, I decided start going to this Y after work instead of fighting the traffic going back in the city. As far as Ys go, I think this one is pretty nice. The facility is clean, and my limited interactions with staff members have been friendly. They have several basketball courts, which are surrounded by an indoor track. The cardio area is outfitted with a few flat-screens, and the equipment is new-ish. And yes, as vicky y. stated, they have those mini-TVs hooked up to the treadmills. The weight machines are located in the same room as the cardio equipment, and they're also fairly new. I haven't used the free weight area at all, but it looks decent, and I've noticed it's usually not horribly crowded when I'm there after work. Oh, and they have a skateboard/rollerblade ramp area outside of the front entrance, which looks pretty cool. My only gripe about the facility concerns the showers. I've only used them once, and that was a hellish experience. I'm guessing these shower heads were installed during the Kennedy administration. They're positioned strangely and totally immobile, and I ended up having to stand against the shower curtain to get into the stream of water. Just weird. read more

Overpriced, crazy that you pay extra for yoga, inconvenient class times, and free weight room feels like an unfriendly sausage-fest.

I use to go to this pool when I was little with a special ed school out of Naperville & really enjoyed this Y as this pool is on the west side of a Jr High School in Downers Grove. If I got to go to this pool again I'd really recommend it as it was good memories for me read more

This has been a wonderful place for our family. The strong kids zone is great and my kids love going there. Very flexible hours for people who work. Everyone is very friendly and there are so many workout classes and classes for kids. Also a preschool gym, climbing wall, and ping pong give kids things to do during the crummy winter months. Great facility and really nice staff. read more

What is going on in the afterschool care? The staff has been changing consistently. Why? I've was trying to decide whether or not to come back. But after discussing it with My Moms Club my children arent going back. To many questions in the air about qualifications/certifications of staff members. We expect our children to be looked after from qualified staff members. read more

One star for "customer service" because I cannot give zero stars. Very rude staff during practice and games for Youth basketball league, rude to families and small children. Stay away. read more

Free classes are not easy to attend due to difficulty levels. Zumba rocks! I finds the maintenance lady at the women lockers kind of funny, checking her locker way too many times. Also a lost item at the showers was never returned.. read more

very friendly staff, very open and honest billing(canceling is easy no problem), but as like any ymca this place is flooded with kids, so watch out when you walk around in the halls, you might step on a kid or two. The main workout area(machines and cardio stuff) is very modern and premium, but the basement room weight area, which is 20 years outdated (free weights, hardcore bodybuilding stuff) is kinda run down and old and reminds me of "average joe's gym" in there. Gets a bit crowded here, i recommend going before 4 or after 8pm. Overall, good place. Parking lot issues sometimes too, since the parking lot joins with the middle school and if an event is going on, good luck finding a spot. read more

My review is about the summer camp. The camp leaders are great, the kids have fun and the program is good. The problem is the organizational leadership. The right hand does not know what the left is doing. They fail to communicate with parents, blame the parents for not knowing what to pack/bring after they fail to communicate, and generally pass the buck. We'll probably return next year due to the programming and the fact that my kid is having a great time, but with the notion that we need to double check and follow up on everything. Rating is up to 3 stars because of the camps staff. If I were simply rating the leadership, it would be 1. read more

typical modest ymca building and decor, but they've got these advanced cardio and weight machines that tracks all your workouts and emails you a monthly report. sweet! plus they've got mini-tv's hooked up to all their treadmills. read more

The people at this ymca are rude and have no respect. They won't even let you pay to get in. This poor old man was asking to go in just to go for a swim and they said no. He offered to pay and they said no. MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT GO TO THIS YMCA! read more

Overpriced for what you have access to for free. Don't want you to cancel your membership, but make you continue to pay for services until the end of your monthly charge. read more

worst place ive ever been to. the people at the front desk are rude and dont care. we asked to use our friends membership because the ymca allows you to do that and they wouldnt let us in and then we got another friend and tried a second time. we were walking so that we could be around the desk to listen and write our names but she assumed we were trying to sneak in, which we had no intention of doing. then we got money thinking you can pay to get it, but you need a $100 membership which is bogus for kids just to work out. in the winter there is no where else to go and get active and thats ridiculous, so if i eat a cheeseburger now i cant work out because you cant pay a small fee to get in and workout when kids in winter need that. and please work on your staff's attitudes because they really suck. worst service ever read more
