Nice pool. Summer programs for kids expensive and not nearly long enough. They barely get started and then they are over and nothing more available for the rest of the summer. Prices quite high for what you get.

Giving 3 stars only because the child care facility is sooooo small. Need to upgrade for sure. Also the equipment in the weight room is aging and the facility just dosent smell good.

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.

My son played basketball and soccer here. Coaches were very nice and gave attention to all kids. Great environment for kids to be introduced to sports.

I'm not yet a member. These people were nice enough to allow a couple Cub scouts to complete some swimming requirements for a small fee. Extremely helpful staff and my membership status should soon change.

The lifeguards and front desk staffs are extremely kind and helpful except there’s a swimming instructor. When she has swimming lesson, she will not allow you to be in her lane. What upset me was she only uses a very small portion of her lane ( 3ft area). My kids are not allow to be in the other end. I don’t appreciated her response “ these people paid just as much as you, or that’s why we put the schedule on the sign”. My kids are literally afraid of this woman because they have heard her fussing at the pool.
