★★★★★Mary MenneThe YMCA in La Crosse is my connection to fitness, strength, seniors and fun! I absolutely LOVE the Y.
★★★★★Jeff NeilWonderful staff, clean lockerooms and good programming for the kids.
★★★★★LauraI come for the group fitness classes. SO many options! Great instructors. Everyone is welcoming. Facility and equipment is clean and well maintained.
★★Derek KoelThis branch of the YMCA is beautiful, nice equipment, pool, group fitness, sauna and steam room. The Zumba instructors are incredible. One of the best communities from the YMCA is within the Zumba classes. However, that is about where it end. The directors of the branch do not take comments and concerns seriously. It took over 3 years of complaints to the front desk, group fitness director and the CEO to get an extra fan in the fitness studio to help with the excessive humidity. When emailing the membership director asking questions, it has taken over a week to get a response with no out of office response. It is quite disappointing at how the directors manage this branch. This branch is also closed around holidays much more than other branches. The only reason I still keep my membership is because of Zumba.
★★★Ella SchmidtUpdate: I made a complaint to the front desk during lessons, but I also contacted the aquatics director directly the next day. Apparently, she saw this post and was pretty upset by the pictures. She said the policy is that the lifeguard needs to be in the chair, so even being on the side and watching isn't good enough. They had a staff meeting this week, so she said she was going to bring it up then, too. My dad took our other two to lessons on Wed and Thurs and said the lifeguard was in the chair as well. Hopefully, this problem is fixed! I love the YMCA and the services it provides. But I was blown away at swimming lessons when the lifeguard wasn't even pretending to watch the pool. She was turned completely around chatting with her friend in the hot tub. This negligence is going to lead to a tragic accident. I made a complaint and nothing changed. When I asked other local moms about it, they also shared photos and experiences saying that this has been going on a long while. I wish there was another place to take my kids for swim lessons in the winter!
