I love it here. They have so many activities and classes for all ages. Their water park is amazing and I also love that they have pre-k for little ones. Also a day care for when you want to go get a work out done. The membership is honestly more than worth it.

I love the facilities. And this would be a 5 star because of that. But I have to put 2. Due to the fact we have been members for 2 months and everytime we have questions about things we are met with a rudeness from the front desk. I use to be a member at Naperville for 12 years and it’s what drew me back. I’m not sure if they just hate their job or what not but if it doesn’t change I will absolutely terminate my membership. That’s not the Y environment I experienced growing up that drew me back.

The child care thats for a couple hours so you can get a workout in is pretty bad. One thing I don’t understand is this is a health and fitness facility. Why can’t my kids come workout with me if they’re under 13? I have two extremely active, strong, kids that could benefit from their gym rather than sitting in a room playing video games. The parents that use this child care are obviously active and most likely want their kids to follow.Also the last time I went there was a man in his 50s there just sitting watching the kids. He didn’t work there but was just sitting. What’s going on here?

Not friendly people @ all I’ll rather go to the one in Joliet. Definitely treat children horribly. Thought it would have changed by now but it hasn’t. Beautiful building but horrible staff may not be all but it only takes one bad apple to spoil the entire staff. Not sure why it would taken five people to be @ the front desk.
