A good clean facility with all of the expected YMCA amenities. Ample parking as well. They do host rentals a lot in the gyms which can be frustrating for members that want to come and play basketball I. The evenings.

Very nice YMCA with lots of options. Fitness equipment is in very good condition and looks to be well taken off. A couple platforms with racks for the heavy weight lifters. Locker rooms are dated, yet include a sauna and steam room. Two midsize pools along with a very nice large play area for children. Great area for gymnastics along with three basketball courts and an elevated running track. Two functioning racket ball courts along with several others that have been converted to various types of studios. The building is a bit choppy and as first-time visitors it was a challenge to find certain areas. Staff was very friendly and overall a very pleasant atmosphere.

Staff is very helpful and friendly. Facilities could use additional updating. Parking is ample but dark when evening hits. Lighting in parking lot could be better for safety and cars seeing people walking through to their vehicles. Instructors and camps are both the highlights of this establishment.

The gym and equipment is nice, but the locker rooms are a mess. The shower curtains are covered in stains and mold. Gross. The steam room is rarely cleaned if ever and tends to wreak.

Front desk is unprofessional, they dont explain you the options and try to sign up for most convenient for them. Still cannot get my money back for the service I did not use. Swimm classes are good for kids. Gym is OK. Some hours might be crowded.

Clean and well maintained YMCA. Staff is very friendly and it has all the equipment you need for lifting. My only request is that they bring back the boxing heavy bag.

We came here for a birthday party, and it was such a blast! The equipment was well maintained, and all the kids loved it. In the birthday party section, they had a basketball hoop, ping pong table, rock climbing wall, bounce house, toddler play area, a treehouse with slide, and restrooms there too. Buehler YMCA is the perfect place for a birthday party indoors and would love to go again! Most of the staff were very welcoming and friendly, coming and going. They had hand sanitizer on the wall, which was a massive plus for all the parents to prevent the spreading of germs.
