Great gym! We really love the eGym circuit, which allows you to do a full body exercise in less than 45min! If that doesn’t sell you, there’s even an app that gives you lots of stats about your health, weight, strength, and more!Amazing! Membership is a bit expensive though.

Does anyone know what the current mask policy at the Y is? Since we are not under a mask mandate in LA., I would think the policy has changed at the Y. I had stopped going because I cannot tolerate being "masked up" while working out. Totally unhealthy to not be able to breathe in fresh air when working out! And due to asthma, a mask causes me to have problems getting a full breath. Thanks for a response. I pray to be able to return soon.

They need to get their act together. Their coaches don’t show up for practice or games. The uniform shirts were given out after two games were already played. We played a team on our third game and they still didn’t have their yet! If you go into the building to ask them about any of this, they know NOTHING….. I think they have been a round long enough to have all this under control by now.

me and my partner came in workout and it was to busy for us so we left but we had already checked in, so we double checked with the front desk to make sure since we had checked in and did not workout would it be okay to leave since it was so busy, she said no problem, me and my partner went out to our car and a few minutes later the desk receptionist followed us out to our car to get our license plate number, it was so disturbing me and my partner immediately left because she kept walking around our car, a very racist atmosphere here
