Damage to your personal vehicle is the cost of membership at this YMCA.If you’re the victim of a hit and run in their parking lot, don’t expect them to give you the footage from the security camera that was pointed directly at your car. Their security will tell you this YMCA experiences hit and runs regularly, up to multiple times a day. But even if they promise to call you back the next day, even if you leave multiple voicemails over the course of weeks, save your breath — they will not call back.Facilities are clean, though. The class instructors are kind and I generally enjoyed this YMCA before learning that the security cameras essentially serve no purpose. Extremely disappointed by their lack of competency and regard for members’ welfare.

This is supposed to be a family oriented facility but when my teenage daughter attended to utilize the facility as a guest of another member she was reprimanded and the front desk worker was over the top and kicked them out for not being a member for this reason I don't suggest taking any minor children around and I don't think you are allowed to be a guest of a paying member and if you are then she was wrong and ran my kid off for no reason. Hostile atmosphere not welcoming do not recommend. Now she will do her strength conditioning at another gym. One that respects veterans and their families.

A great place for children to swim, and get out energy pent up inside. They love the slide at the YMCA on 6th street downtown.
