  • The YMCA has had a positive impact on my life. Before I moved to Chicago, I was struggling with depression, and my mental health had really taken a toll. Since joining this gym, I’ve been feeling much better physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. I want to thank the staff for encouraging me to push myself to my limits and for pouring into me. For me, the gym has truly become like therapy.

  • I love the Staff and programming! Right now we only have two days of pilates, and I wish we had more classes and yoga everyday.

  • Beautiful facility with great amenities when operational. The staff is great, especially the fitness and front desk staff. The pool hours always fluctuate, the steam room works intermittently and has one engineer who is great but only works the am shift. So if something mechanically breaks, you're screwed until the next morning.

Questions parents ask about SOUTH SIDE YMCA

Is SOUTH SIDE YMCA a licensed child care provider in Illinois?

Yes. SOUTH SIDE YMCA holds Illinois licence 019299, listed as "License issued (IL)" by the Department of Children and Family Services, licensed as a day care center in City Of Chicago County. Confirm current standing at sunshine.dcfs.illinois.gov before enrolling.

What ages does SOUTH SIDE YMCA accept?

Illinois licenses SOUTH SIDE YMCA for children 15 months to 5 years during the day, with a licensed day capacity of 64. The span is what the licence permits, not a statement of which ages have places free.

What languages are spoken at SOUTH SIDE YMCA?

The licence record lists English. That is what the provider reported to the state, not a guarantee that a speaker is on site at every hour.

Does this page show inspection results for SOUTH SIDE YMCA?

No. Illinois publishes monitoring and licensing reports going back to 2010 through Sunshine at sunshine.dcfs.illinois.gov. Those reports are not included here, so nothing on this page reflects SOUTH SIDE YMCA's inspection history either way. Look the provider up there and read the monitoring record.
