Paula G Manship YMCA

I’ve been going to the Y since retirement in 2012. The staff is friendly and helpful. My favorite classes at present are Chair Yoga and Light and Lively with Jo Rose as instructor.

I love it it here. The ladies in the child care are so good to my kiddos and the classes are taught by knowledgeable and friendly people. Everyone is super friendly and it’s like having another family 🥰 …

Great basketball program. Our grandson really enjoyed it!!

I love all of the activities and the exercise equipments. Staff is wonderful and extremely helpful.

Fantastic gym, friendly staff and great facilities. Proud to be members!

A good place to exercise & use their special machines. People seemed to be happy and engaged. My first visit of this place.

The Manship YMCA has the friendliest staff— they are always willing to help when needed. The equipment/facilities are also well kept. Would definitely recommend this Y!

Very helpful and friendly lady at front desk helped with all my questions & was very patient & kind to my son and my granddaughter who was being challenging. I look forward to being able to get into our memberships.

My first time at this location most staff not friendly but the guys near the pool were, they invited us to get in the pool. I have a family membership but this location not family friendly. I was told I have to bring my own basketball, also the little kiddy room my 5yr old and 10yr old couldn’t go in there because a staff member said no one in there to watch the kids. I didn’t feel welcome at all, I left right away. This location is around the corner from where I live but I’d rather go elsewhere.

If there were a “zero star” to give, I surely would. We were signed up for the YMCA basketball course for the 2 present summer months. The scheduled practices were expected to be every Tuesday evening with games scheduled on Saturday mornings. The coach that we were assigned to missed a total of 3 practices thus far as well as a Saturday game. Again, summer is a very short season so this was nearly half of the time we expected. Concerned about the lack of participation on the coach’s behalf, I emailed the director of the sports program, Phillip Williams, to inform him of my concerns which in turn he told me that basically in so many words was not the YMCA’s problem, but instead the problem of the coach who I must keep in mind is not being compensated for her services being that she is a volunteer. However, because the payment was made directly to the YMCA it is also a poor reflection of how their programs work. If you are paid for something and you aren’t supplying that service, what are you even charging for? I’m beyond disappointed and in the future will not be using the YMCA’s services any longer. I advise anyone looking for a sports program to first do your research before paying your money towards it, especially at the YMCA since we now know that due to their coaches being volunteers there isn’t a contract demanding that they participate in practices or games. Instead they are able to choose what and when they want to participate with the paid program. $120 was flushed down the drain so be sure you know what you’re signing up for before using the Y.
