★★★★★Idania NegronWe've been members of the YMCA C.W. Avery for a couple of years, and my girls absolutely love attending camp there. They look forward to it every day! The staff does a wonderful job keeping the kids engaged with swimming, fun activities, and awesome field trips throughout the summer. It's a safe, welcoming environment where kids can make friends and stay active. My daughters have had such a great experience, and I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a fun and well-organized camp program for their children. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐A special thank you to the camp staff for making the experience so enjoyable for the kids! 😊
★★★Pedro CamachoThe facilities here are actually fantastic—the gym and equipment are well-maintained, and the staff is usually great. However, the landscaping situation is becoming a real headache. Today, the mowers shot grass clippings all over my car while I was inside. Additionally, the crew parks their equipment in a way that takes up all the spots at the end of the lot, which is already limited. I love the Y, but it might be time to hire a more professional landscaping crew who respects the members' property.
★★★★★Stephen ProcykWe are a business family of 4 and I absolutely love the daycare hours. Mommy and I workout at different times of the day and, their hours make it easy to go to the gym - even with the mid day break. During the midday break the gym volume lowers and I can get more done in the same amount of time. For that reason alone we will continue our membership.
★★★★★Claire VolkmanWe love the Y! The youth sports are great (although I wish we had more volunteer coaches) and the camp is our summer savior. The gym is always clean, but I also remember to wipe down any machine BEFORE and AFTER use (because duh). The pool is really fun for kids and the staff is incredibly responsive. Big fans!
★★★★★Meagan CarlossI can’t recommend this place enough!!! It’s central in the commmunity and a great place for families. The workout classes are really challenging and fun, you can tell the instructors love being there. Kristin, Yonika, Esmeralda, Suzanne, and George are incredible at what they do. The kids corner is very nice and the teachers are great! It would be great if they expand in the future to offer more spots in classes.
