Love their Child watch staff... they are very good with kids. The personal training staffs work to meet your goals.

★★★★☆ — Ibironke, Apr 2025

Hello, this YMCA is the biggest game in town. It's open a 5am sharp and the staff are obviously morning people. I wish they would expand. The gym could easily be twice as big. They have modern equipment that seems to get looked after and are always getting the latest in equipment.

Birthday parties at Cumberland YMCA (Riverside)

Cumberland YMCA (Riverside) hosts birthday parties — confirmed on their own site. Climbing parties come with staff who handle the harnesses and belaying, so parents can mostly watch. One thing that's different here: every guest needs a signed waiver — send the gym's waiver link to the other parents when you send invites, or check-in day gets slow. Packages, party rooms, and pricing change often, so check the current options and book ahead — weekend slots go fast at popular gyms.
