I like the themed camps, that the children get to swim almost daily, the camp gets them outside and keeps them active, the counselors are care for the kids and most of all I feel my child is in a safe and fun environment.

The basketball court should be used for basketball. Nothing is more frustrating than driving to the gym to play basketball only to be kicked off for people who are about to play pickle ball. Or only being able to use half the court while a bunch of kids play dodge ball at the other end. Or not being able to play basketball until 4:30 on a Saturday since the gym is reserved for youth sports until then. Or wanting to go play basketball to unwind after a long day at work only to find the gym is reserved until 8:30 pm when they close at 10. For a guy who joined this gym specifically to play basketball in the winter months I have been tremendously disappointed with my inability to do so time and time again.

I have been in this place for more than 6 years and my experience in this gym has been very pleasant, excellent service very friendly and the swimming pools especially the zauna is something that I personally enjoy a lot, also in summer because you can Enjoy family in the pools.

My schedule is unpredictable so classes aren't an option for me. I love the Y's every-day schedule of all day hours. It means I can fit in a work-out whenever it works for me. Thanks Western Family Y!

It is a really good place because if you want to go to the gym you can put your kids at the child care they take if you kids until you come and take them. Also another thing that is really good is the pool is really warm and it’s really big so that you and your family can swim and they can enjoy it to 🤩 …

I've recently started visiting this site. The pool classes are crowded & a bit overstimulating at times in the morning (with respect to my health issues). The staff was very helpful yesterday when I wasn't feeling well and things took a bad turn. They were very responsive, supportive, and took every measure to ensure that I had proper care. Good look!

Great place but Un experience lifeguards and very disrespectful, my son and myself went to the indoor pool on Tuesday night as usual, I did not know that the schedule had changed. We were about to get into the pool exactly at 8:20 after the class was over and the young ladie actually yelled at us. YOU CAN NOT GET IN THE POOL without any explanation, there were more families waiting to get in with there kids as well. Its ashamed that the pool its just for the same people that were in class already. The only reason we visit the Y is because of the open pool on Tuesday and Thursdays and not only us were disappointed many more families too.

I've only been here because of a swim meet so the only facility that I have visited is the outdoor pool.Pros: Large 10 lane pool, allows for combining heats to speed up the duration of the meet. Pool is fairly clean. There is plenty of deck space for both teams to watch the meet.Cons: Restrooms are not maintained very well. Toilets and sinks can be sometimes dirty.

I like this Y. It's a little crowded, and he sauna is fairly small, but the staff is kind. My only complaint is that they NEVER change my kids diapers. The kid zone people are nice, but every time I go there, my kids come out with crusted poop butts. I even tried to call and email the kid zone director, but apparently they do not care.
