Staff is great,facilities are very clean and the group classes are awesome 👍Swimming lessons are excellent. Unfortunately their pumps are outside so everytime there's a storm they have to cancel. Still, worth it.My only observation would be that they should fix or remove the the play place structure at the kids zone. It occupies a lot of room that could be used for a reading corner or more room for the kids to play.

Silver sneakers godsendI am weaker than I thought so it is a great way to crawl back and cost 0 dollars. The senior yoga and tai chi sessions are rejuvenating

I get sick every time I start working out here. After one year of constant upper respiratory issues, I called to cancel, website says you have to do in writing with thier from but since I had type A flu I couldn't get in to do till after the next month billed. They refused to credit me for the month that just billed. Dispute record of my call. Poor service!!!!!

This review is regarding the picture company they use for sports... I had no idea I was to order and pay today for pictures on picture day... It wasn't in my budget today and my son is in a few other sporting leagues and I get a card to go online and look and choose and order at a later time. It was extremely inconvenient today to have to choose a package in the chaos that is this facility at all times with no pens available to even fill out the form. We have separate homes between the parents and I had to order and pay for my son's dad cuz we had no choice... That is not normal and incredibly inconvenient. I will think twice about signing him up here again. It's incredibly loud and jam packed all the time with very uncomfortable bleachers and the picture issue today put a really bad taste in my mouth.

Adults go here? Adults DO NOT talk about people constantly. As if you are not there. Many of the staff are so vain. If you glance or even look at them you must be inappropriately looking at them. At the life guard requirements must have changed drastically since i was one. Cause no way most of the lifeguards here can swim 250yrds. I wouldn't trust them to save me or my child.

Upset they dont offer day passes unless you know someone with a pass. And to buy a pass its very expensive considering i only would use it once a week. I thought the ymca was supposed to be an affordable place for wellness that was made available to all people. I think I will just stick to the outdoor pools. There financial assistance is a joke

Today my child went swimming and after she came back informed me that an older gentleman had exposed himself on the pool deck. I hope something happened from this and the member was reprimanded. No parent wants to ever hear these words from their child especially somewhere considered a safe space. Definitely won’t be allowing my child to swim here again.

If you dont look a certain way security will treat you like your homeless. I couldnt even make it to the door without being turned around because i had my little 5 pound pomeranian in a little bag, my boyfriend could have waited outside with her but when the security gaurd said " do you have a membership" i said " no thats what im going in to talk to them about" he said you cant go in without a membership. How are you supposes to get a damn membership. Also i went in about 4 days befor this ( no security gaurd this time) and there were people there who im pretty sure didnt have a membership and i asked if i could just charge my phone up ( was waiting for my apartment to get ready and needed it charge im not homeless and i dont look homeless i had just got off of a plane in tampa) and they were super friendly about it and i told them i even had a dog it was no big deal. Since they were so friendly i thought id go back and get a membership but then i was profiled by the security gaurd out front who treated me like i was some homeless piece of trash or something. I am also a security gaurd myself. So i feel like ymca has friendly staff but whoever their security is contracted with needs to get it together better than that!!
