The YMCA is a good place for recreational activities like using the gym/workout room, the basketball court, racquet ball room, and indoor/outdoor pools. They even offer spin classes and swimming lessons/classes to adults and children. Their locker rooms has steam/sauna rooms and showers. They also have kids aftercare and summer programs. However the facility needs a deep cleaning in my opinion, I've noticed a lot of trash and miscellaneous items laying around inside and outside. Other than that it's decent.

If you are looking for child care or after school care I would not recommend this facility. My son 7yo was assaulted by a 12yo that was not suppose to have any contact with my son at the time. The 12yo kicked my son in the head and body causing a severe Head injury. The staff could not give me an explanation on what happened because the staff was not watching my child. It wasn’t until my son was screaming for his life that the staff noticed the end of the attack. The staff could not offer me or my family anything but a “Sorry”. No one call for medical help or notified the parents. My son could be died right now. Find another facility this is not it!

Have told them that i did not want there services. Have never used there services that it was an error that it was purchased. Instead of them canceling the membership and refunding my credit card they are still charging my card and wont cancel it. Not how you do business and you have lost a potential future customer since this is how you do business.Update: So after leaving this review Jordan Hopkins calls me and now they have an email option to cancel member ship after I called and they told me the only option was to come in and cancel. She advised was a mistake at the front desk but she still refuse to credit my cc back for the misinformation on her employees fault. These people are just money hungry and don’t care how they get it. No longer a future customer. Beware of this company. After researching this company is considered a charity and they take membership fees as donations. They also are not partnered with the BBB so you are able to report their shady business practices.

Nice place but I don't want to come to this place anymore. I thought some of the staffs are rude and unfriendly. In the summer camp, one guy(I don't know his name but he's the staff) so he brought up the topic about the singing group tlc and I said oooo I love this group and then out of nowhere... He gets mad and said toxic masculinity things to me like why can't I give their positive opinion about this group but yet you the one who brought it up in the first place. I'm not coming back to this place ever again and again, this place is amazing but the staff and their communication skills suck.

Usually a clean, fun, family-oriented place to go. The summer time can be a little crowded, especially with the summer camp kids and if you want to swim in the outside pool I'd recommend going after the Summer-camp kids get out because there's just so many kids. The exercise equipment is pretty nice. The women's locker room and bathroom are always clean. The employees at the front desk are always friendly, especially the blonde girl I think her name is Kayla- is always super friendly.

I enjoyed my first day there today it was really nice. The staff seemed to know they're job and was helpful. I like how they have workout equipment with the cardio equipment and the free weights in another. I'll be spending plenty of time there
