Good to see that this location has renovated the flooring of the weight lifting area along with weight machines themselves. The lady/greater at the front was very helpful as well.

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.

Great facility that includes tennis, swimming, baskerball, and practice for baseball. Staff are helpful. There is child care. And the weight and cardio equipment are good. A nice place to stay healthy.

I spent years at Anytime Fitness but recently switched to the Y. It is a much better gym for the same price! As long as you don't need to work out at 2am all the time, you will be happy here.

The Manship YMCA is a fun, friendly, and very comfortable place to stay active and keep moving! I love the Active Older Adult class; it seems more “active” than “older” and Jo does a fantastic job of pushing us to do our best while making it fun and welcoming for anyone who comes.
