Westside Community YMCA

The rock climbing wall was closed with no notice when it be open.The water slide was also not open with no idea when it would be openPool is a lot smaller than Oak Parks, only about 4 lanes

Great place. Has a nice track and pool. I walk about 3.5 miles a day. I usually do it from my front door. Staff is friendly 😄 …

Something for everyone at the Y! This location boasts an indoor track, rock climbing wall and rollerskating area in addition to the weights, cardio equipment and pool. There’s also ping pong tables, group fitness classes, sauna/steam room & racquetball/basketball courts.Despite having a big family, we can all find a healthy activity here that suits our needs. Very reasonable cost!

They have the drop in childcare in the mornings now, which is a big plus for me. They have limited floor space, and all the machines are crowded in. On the flip side, there are tons of machines lol. It’s a little loud. But it’s a decent place. They have a Jacob’s ladder.Edit:At the tot watch today there was a particularly antagonistic employee. I brought my children in (we have been four or five times to this location), and was informed they could not take my children today because we are utilizing our nationwide membership. I was confused because we have been there before a few times.Instead of trying to find a solution, she left it at that and left me to try to find and talk to a superior. I Can hear my child screaming this whole time, I find someone who says my kids can stay, and I have to go back in to talk to her (upsetting my child again after she had calmed down). This employee made no effort to soothe my child while in my presence. I didn’t once see her interact with one of my other children either.This YMCA did not try to find any solution to this problem. At my home YMCA, if they are not “in the system” at that particular location, I simply fill out a form and they can be accepted. This employee came across as standoffish, glib and finally smug once she succeeded in kicking my children out. I feel like she took out her initial failure to kick my kids out on my children.This YMCA did not uphold their mission statement for me or my children who are all active members:“We offer this because we want to help you reach your health and wellness goals wherever you live, work, or travel. This is an essential part of our mission to strengthen communities. “Edit: a manager confirmed that nationwide memberships are not accepted for the kids. During this whole debacle not one person said sorry; not sorry for the inconvenience or sorry for the misunderstanding. Very unwelcoming.

The staff have always been nice so thats not an issue but for the pricing this place asks its not worth it. It has not been updated since i was here as a child so assuming since it was built! The water slide has not been up an running since we got a memership months ago neither has the rock wall! We got the membership for the swimmimg an the water slide for the kids The pool is not always open for family swim an if it is irs not long the steam room smells moldy. So we will be canceling our membership as i dont see the point in keeping it….. seems like this place is falling apart

I'm a Silver Sneakers member at this facility. The building is large with two stories. The location is in an area that's tucked away in a nice treed location. Plenty of parking.I can't say enough about this facility from it's lobby with a small snack area and vending machines to the front desk crew. They are polite and knowledgeable of this facility. It is well secured well monitored cameras and manned security on site.From a roller rink and one mile walking track to areas for boxing and handball. The five lane pool is open for all along with a smaller area for kids. It has a slide too. The machine room and weight areas are generous. Enough space for equipment for usage with plenty to choose from. All types of bikes. Weights. Nautilus and more. Classrooms for instructional sessions. Large men's, women's and family locker rooms. Showers, saunas and steam rooms in each.Can't say enough about this particular facility and the Silver Sneakers program and their association with US YMCAs.

Love the Y - so many community and youth programs. I go as often as I can for the great pool, always clean and warm with a TON of open swim hours. I love the sauna and steam room on a cold day. Can’t wait for the slide to be fixed (almost there!). The facility is old but clean and a lot of different fitness options. Worth the membership!

I got a membership here for the pool and would go a few times a week. The staff is friendly and helpful. The locker room was always clean, although several of the lockers are kinda warped or busted. They have a steam room and a sauna. If you go in the middle of the day, there's usually a lane free for lap swimming. People are nice and will share lanes if it's busy. Most of the lifeguards are attentive and professional. Overall I like this pool a lot, but from time to time it was a little dirty.

Stopped in to look at a family membership. Lots was going on and the staff was still friendly. Can't wait to join.

Love their homeschool swim and gym program. My son took it for several years. He faced his fears, learned to swim and climb the rock wall. Instructors were awesome with the kids and kept them busy for 2 hours! Great exercise and parents could talk to each other or read while they waited. I got to know several homeschool moms that I didn’t already know or was able to get work done.
