Powered by GoogleJust had the worst experience ever dealing with these guys. I was in an accident last year in my membership lab the gentleman that I spoke to over the phone and at a community event told me that I was to come in for a certain amount. Membership is good. I get there there was additional fees. I also wasn’t able to work out after I asked and verified the amount to bring up there. It was told that’s all I needed. Ruined my whole day1
Get place to get your workout in. Basketball gym, pool, hot tub, sauna and lots of workout machines. The staff here is awesome. They are helpful, knowledgeable and friendly.
It’s my favorite YMCA of them all , they are so kind and helpful and courteous. I have a real sense of community when I’m in this particular building . They are so professional and clean and compassionate and helpful. I absolutely feel welcome and safe and non judgmental when I come here. Thank you so much .
A very nice Y! It's downtown and I've usually gone to the ones in the far out suburbs, but this was a beautiful Y. Very friendly staff and people. Nice pool for laps or water exercise. It's a warmer pool than most I've been to for laps which is great for me. I'm not a fan of cold water. Not super crowded in the pool, but the workout floor and gym have a good group even during the day. I like the space and would recommend it.
We just attended the Near East Side 7th annual Easter Egg hunt here. The kids had a great time. It was very well organized. Thank you, Eastgate Garden Association, for keeping us all well informed of this event!
