YMCA of Monroe County - Southeast

Been a member for 18 years. ...always satisfied. Clean, well.maintained, friendly staff and great administration.

The membership cost is really low compared to all the benefits that includes. There are many group classes all day and people are really friendly!

The basketball gym is nice. The weight rooms and track is nice. But please do something bout the bathroom. They smell like urine the smell is extremely awfull. No excuse for the Y to be like this. I've been to over 14 Y's in 3 states and never seen one like this. But I'll just go to the other one near ivy tech they also have great privacy (shower rooms)

I have been going to the YMCA since I was a kid. They have great summer camps, I made tons of new friends. Pool is so fun and I love to be able to run on the track outside when it's a nice day, or when it's raining run inside

Dedicated staff, awesome members, great classes. Boot Camp has really helped me get in shape and improve my 5K time.

Great for kids and families. Weight room is small. Cardio is always crowded. I belong because it is the only place in town with racquetball other than IU and the courts are old and dirty and hard to get time on at peak hours. But like I said, great for kids. The new pool, especially.

I figured I'd write a review about my positive experience here over the last few months to help offset some of the negative remarks. I'm a new member here (but not new to gyms) and this facility has a lot to offer. The free-weight room has more than enough equipment for the number of people I see in there. I usually go after 8pm. The machine room has a nice variety of cardio stations as well as a whole range of pulley machines for every muscle group. There is a nice indoor running track, basketball courts, racquetball, 2 hot tubs, 2 pools, 2 levels of locker rooms and showers, and all kinds of specialty classes. The staff is great and friendly. I'm not sure if there was an issue with cleanliness in the past, but I see two people cleaning machines and vacuuming every time I go there.There are two negatives that come to mind.The towels are tiny and not soft at all. They actually scratch your skin.Also, at least one of the pools or hot tubs seem to be closed for maintenance every time I'm there. But usually they are up and running shortly after.Overall, I highly recommend this YMCA. It's a great deal for the money and a positive environment.

Facility in good setting has great potential. I've been a member for over twenty years and unfortunately this (SE) location has been poorly maintained, has gross locker rooms, and has an overall unkempt appearance. Free weight room is small and overcrowded with the equipment not properly spaced. Nice new pool area. Caters primarily to family and unemployed day crowd. Slipping but recoverable.

Do not listen to these old reviews!! I've been coming to this YMCA since I was 6 (I am now almost 23) and I love it there. Staff is very friendly and inviting - even at 5:30 in the morning! They have recently upgraded almost all of their equipment and workout rooms. They offer a variety of classes and provide a great family environment. I have always enjoyed the time I've spent at the Y, and look forward to coming back for many more years to come.

NOT CLEANED PROPERLY. The worst of all possible gym crimes. The locker rooms are actually scary--the smell of urine in the toilet area is beyond belief. The cleaning staff doesn't seem to be aware that you have to clean under equipment, wipe down 100% of the surfaces (not just the handles), get a scrub brush behind door partitions in the restrooms, etc. The whole place should be shut down for a week of intensive blasting with high pressure steam and bleach.The equipment is decent, not fancy but adequate, but the (lack of) cleanliness is not acceptable. Also, they have a sign up for equipment with a 30 minute limit, but they don't enforce it. What's the point? If I want to use a machine for an hour, I'll just put down another name after mine. This is a (nonfunctional) stop-gap to prevent them from having to do what really needs to be done--EXPANSION of the cardio area. Space-wise, vast open areas are dedicated to basketball, an indoor track, and childcare while the main workout areas are undersized and poorly ventilated. They really need to shut this place down, sterilize it, and get a professional layout to get this gym up to modern standards. The challenge seems to be that they try to serve too many masters--there are hundreds of little children running around all the time. While I understand the family concept, this facility is sorely lacking in adult-only spaces. Sure, they have areas that are marked "adults only" in the workout room--but the parents and kids don't obey them, and the area overlaps with the gymnastics room for children, so there are always kids back there. As far as the locker rooms, marking the upstairs as "adults only" would seem to be a big step... but there are no walls to the upstairs area, so the kid noise is still constant! This does NOT make for a relaxing experience.I like my gyms well equiped, well ventilated, relaxing and CLEAN, and would be more than willing to pay a premium membership fee to find that. Unfortunately, there don't seem to be any gyms meeting those standards in Bloomington.
