Not the best of the YMCA'S in the area very crowded and People hear don't return weights or clean machines!! You could be watching something and someone sometimes would just change the channel and walk away!! Does not make sense!! So I would get up and change it back!! Warning if your kids are in babysitting and they are busy they could put you on a waiting list really!!! I also had my locker broke into and the Director at the time did nothing about it in 2012 3 credit cards stolen and cash!! They let Teens roam around and they are loud after school! A lot of times they aren't even playing B-BALL... there are better choices and 95th St in Naperville is a little better but now there are so many choices of Gyms unlike what you would see 15 years ago in area..

PARENTS BEWARE! have been a member for years, unfortunately I don’t think I can return. My 4 year old daughter has been let out of the child care 2xs without me going in to pick her up. There is not a strict enough policy of checking kids in and out.... Chuck E. Cheese has a better system. I spoke to the COO about this and the only result was the ladies that work there whispering about me when I went to try one more time to see if I could trust it. I couldn’t believe it! As a mother I would only want to reassure another mother that their child was going to be looked after in a caring environment. I have reached out to many other former members and current employees of the Y and they told me that this is a common occurrence that management has not fixed. When I first brought this up to the local Y. Management I was given nothing but a response in defense of their policy... a policy that left my 4 year old wandering around by the front desk with nobody noticing. How can you defend that??? Something needs to be done and other moms need to be informed.

This is just about the pool. Overall it was great for our family. I've never been to a place that had family lockers rooms before. Complete work the little spin dryers and all. The pool water was warm but VERY cloudy. Maybe 4 feet of visablity at best.
