★★★★★MattStaff is very friendly. The equipment stays clean and working order. And they have equipment for all different types of workouts.
★★★★★Shannon PowellThe splash pad is the best and I love the dance aerobics class ran by Ms Danielle. It's so much fun and my daughter enjoys the childcare while I workout.
★★★★Jon MSuper clean and well kept up. I wish there was a little more variety of weight equipment with how much open space there is. Overall great place to workout and friendly staff!
★★★★★Jessica KMy family is new to Zachary and this is one of the nicest facilities we’ve ever seen. It makes sense to have a membership! My kids are in one of the adventure camps and they love it. Mrs. OBrien has been super helpful as well!
★Karen RoseThe only reason I joined the Y was to use their pool so that I could teach my daughter to swim. They then removed most of the pool hours from the general membership without any notice to current members. Their pool hours, as clearly stated on their website (and as stated to me when I joined) were 6:00 am to 12:00 pm and 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm on weekdays. I showed up today at 10:00 am to use the pool and they asked if I had a reservation. This was never told to me as a requirement. As I spoke to them, I later found out that I couldn't even have made a reservation for that time because they have accepted a government grant to use the pool for schools from 9 am until 2 pm, basically using up most of the (convenient) morning hours. So, now there are only three hours a day during the week that you can use the pool, unless you get there so early in the morning that it is still cold outside for swimming. I spoke to someone who was supposedly the manager of the pool and she said that they do this every year. So apparently, this is a trick they play on people every year, but they don't bother to warn people by email or even on their website. I also heard from the front desk that, by the terms of their grant, because school children are using the pool, the Y must lock the locker rooms so that no one else can use them while the children are there. So even if you don't use the pool, you might be prevented from using the locker rooms even though you are a paying member. I paid for two months of membership while I was waiting for the weather to get warm enough to swim, then when it finally was, they took away all of hours that would have been convenient for us to use the pool. I have posted a screenshot as proof of the hours posted on their website. Edit: No one ever before informed me about this supposed scheduling software and the front desk person said that I was not the only person surprised and upset about the changed pool hours, so it is clear that your attempts to notify members are not calculated to inform. Also, while it is great that you want to teach Swim Safety, you have three hours every weekday, 12:00 - 3:00 p.m. to do it without taking away hours that your members have paid for and expect to be able to use. Your director left a voicemail and then never called me back when I returned her call.
