I give this place 2 stars for the handful (or less) of the people who work there who actually tried to help and make a difference in the families who are struggling . However, with that said there were unfathomable issues with the way this facility is run that people with the authority to change it seem to turn a blind eye. My family and I were residents here for about a month and a half when the pandemic hit hard and we were jobless, homeless and have our two small children under 3. Food was almost always stolen, bathrooms were perfect place to catch any other disease due to poor maintenance, rules that are clearly posted by each elevator yet are subject to change based off of whichever counselor was on duty that shift. Which speaking of these "counselors" on particular one had an issue with my husband for no particular, rational reason. 1st week with us being there he had said a remark that was meant to be funny to me about the use of a microwave and the counselor on duty Ms. McGuiver immediately assumed he was directing this comment to her and she took offense and began to be confrontational to him. There would be two more incidents with this Ms. McGuiver where she would ignore him speaking to her, not open our door, removed him from our floor for over 1,5 hours at 8pm while I had my children in the room. The final tipping point was when she again call security on my husband for playing music while he cooked my family and other family dinner, accusing him of breaking up the fun she was having with the other older children making tic tock videos. Mind you she had no face mask on, ignored social distancing rules, and was already playing loud music and having a large group of people in the kitchen area. Long story short I did not stand by and intervened when she was confronting my husband and security showed up where we were both threatened to be removed from the floor and directed to me if I wanted to "throw hands with her". I am deeply appalled by her actions in the month and a half my family was there and had spoken to Mr. Abdoul to take some action to correct thus behavior. I hope someone implements change there because families and individuals who are already in a tough situation do not deserve to be treated as such. Ms. McGuiver should not be a counselor at the YMCA or work in any facility where in the job description entails to be HELPFUL and RESPECTFUL to people in need.
For shelter residents : dirty , roaches, mice , no a.c. in summer time for homeless residents, only paying customers, so its blistering hot; i watched a baby get hospitalized. So many fights and people dont get kicked out for it and that's a personal safety concern. Write ups for complaints arent taken seriously. Any fixes are only done when its inspection time. Food gets stolen all the time. Bathrooms are BEYOND disgusting and unsanitary. We once found a Bag of heroin in the bathroom. There are 2 bathrooms on each floor, so its only 4 showers for 30 families per floor.
Me and mom and looking for shelter to be in is this the best shelter Me and my family can go into
The YMCA has to many violations, mold, overheated rooms, kids and adults winding up in the hospital because of the heat, people stealing food from the refrigerator and freezer, basically a hell hole....

One of the worst places ever!!!
I visit the place with my wife and was nit
I cannot recommend this YMCA as it is not well managed. In Q1 2017, during listed open pool hours, the pool was closed just as much as it was open. When I brought this problem up to their management, as a paying customer, I was ignored.
Be sure to call ahead if you plan to swim. Otherwise you may show up with your swimsuit and no pool to swim in.
I will still go to YMCAs, but not the Newark YMCA. Having said that, the Rutgers Newark gym is open to the public and very reasonably priced.
This place is good as far as gym membership but as a family trying to make the best out of the situation this place is not it. Its ran by a bunch of ghetto ass people that do not care about the families just the money that they can receive... There are bed bugs here there are mice here roaches like big water bug roaches I never seen an exterminator visit and the only time they tidy up the place is when welfare is coming... so if you're looking for a good gym the YMCA is the place but if you looking for a place for you and your family to stay while you try to get on your feet I repeat do not come to the YMCA!!! it's like Bad Girls Club & Love & Hip Hop YMCA shelter Edition!!

Freaking awesome I stopped by while waiting to drive back to California. The steam room was sooo warm. I had a good sweat. I'm really hoping people were just nice and not gay. I'm just a guy getting centered with Gods help at the Y. Ubered it in and out. They sell Chinese food right in the building. Great place. POOL CLOSED THO??
The Newark Y is one of Newark's best kept secrets. I have been a member for 4 years, and love it! Of course there is room for improvements, but where can you go where there isn't. I specifically go for the Aqua Aerobics. Again, the classes as well as the instructor are great! I can go on and on, but I suggest that you come down for the day, and establish your own opinion. Oh, did I mention the fee? Well it's also great. They even have a sliding scale for those whose income fits a certain criteria. With all that being said, just come check it out for yourself!
The swim program/classes the have for kids is excellent and affordable. I highly recommend it.
This the best Y in NJ
I'd been a member on/off for a number of years. When I finally rejoined, it was like coming home. I had a good workout at the gym and I felt at peace afterwards. I plan on making this a regular thing from now on!
