If you do anything in this facility besides deadlift or anything that starts on the ground like a power clean in the free weight area, you should be ok. But on the chance you do, this is the worst place to go. First of all they do not have a platform for this which for me isn’t a big deal but something worth noting. The thing I have a problem with is that you have to do these movements over the check in area upstairs. My experience with this has been horrible. I am 15 and 140 pounds and am not doing anything over 325 for reps, for anyone thinking I’m “dropping” 900 pounds. Barely 2 sets into my workout I was told I was “slamming the weights”by an employee and I will be kicked out if I continue. I don’t think he understood what “dropping it” meant. I did not let the bar leave my hands until the set was complete. I was doing dead stop reps and was controlling the weight on the decent of each rep. I asked if I could do it somewhere else and he said yes. I had brought my gym bag and the plates and bar to the opposite side of the gym section and loaded up the bar when I was told I was to bring them all the way back from where I got them because he asked his manager after he made a decision. If anyone is serious about getting stronger at movements like this, your business should be held elsewhere. I hope this was just an unlucky day, but I will not be returning to the Copple YMCA

Copple YMCA is a beautiful facility with an excellent staff. There is plenty of close parking. There is always someone cleaning the entryway and at least one staff member available for cleaning or to answer questions in the large cardio/weight room. They also have spacious locker rooms, gorgeous indoor pool area, a great outdoor pool, and ample rooms for various classes. All that said, I believe the best part is their childcare, aka Child Watch. My littles are always willing to go and the teachers are amazing. The room is very large with lots to do. They keep the babies separate from the older kids. They always have craft projects and stories being read and will take the kids into the gym for some large motor activity. my family has tried many options and this affordable option is where we are going to stay!

It’s as good as you’d expect a brand new ymca to be. Lots of equipment, never had to wait for cardio, or machine weights, limited wait time for certain free weights. Pools are great. Staff is amazing. Locker rooms are clean and spacious. Childwatch is on point. Our kid loves it. Lots of programs for families.

Wonderful equipment and staff! Can't beat the YMCA family/community focused atmosphere. The new Copple Family Y is a beautiful facility.

Copple Family YMCA is hands-down the best YMCA in town! The pool is just amazing and spacious, fully equipped with three lap lanes, a vortex water slide, an aqua track (think a lazy river, but smaller), a whirlpool, a shallow end, and a relatively deeper end. The water temperature is extremely warm as well.Okay, now let's talk about the exercise facilities: they are really nice. Wide, open studios that are used sometimes for classes (free with the YMCA membership), a lot of exercise equipment (so there is no wait), a huge Child Watch center, a Family/Teen room with a Ping-Pong table--you name it, they probably have it!

Just as they have it set up great for kids it's also great for adults. I like the 19 and over adult locker rooms. The equipment is clean. I also like the eco friendly dryers in the bathrooms and the green cleaning cloths for the equipment.
