Florence Family YMCA

My children love this place ever since we became members. My daughter is special needs and they are very kind to her.

When my husband and I did the family plan we were told we got lockers and to supply our lock. Well they went in and cut the locks off our lockers and took our stuff out. They never mentioned that lockers were not included or that you had to pay per person when we signed up we asked multiple questions and even repeated questions. And was assured we had access to lockers and everything.

I enrolled as a member for a week. I had no trouble or received any complaints. Today, I suddenly received a phone call from the YMCA manager stating that I was unwelcome because I asked about a teenager's age and if they attended school. It was an immediate judgment without due process, and the manager talked over me as if I was a kid whom he could intimidate with threats. I strongly recommend that anyone especially males who attend this facility censor themselves because they will not be judged fairly. In fact, they might even be threatened with a police report. So, find another gym where you will not walk on eggshells. I posted this report so that others know about the hostile and rigid attitude expressed toward outsiders. I will refer people to other gyms nearby where they will not have to be scared of offending people. The manager waited until today to even notify me of any complaints, which speaks poorly for him. Apparently, even looking at a person the wrong way is somehow incriminating, and no due process is granted when a person is accused in this Florence outfit. Very rigid, judgmental, and unChristian behavior. Don't be fooled by the Bible verses on the walls. Grace does not exist here. In fact, I noticed a sense of attitude from the community there when they began to ask questions about theology. As soon as I mentioned my Catholicism, the discomfort level became obvious. A barber at their local shop told me that intellectuals were unwelcome in Florence, and that the Pentecostals and Southern Baptists tend to exercise harsh criticism toward Catholics. It is a known fact that the Bible Belt was founded by Protestants with an anti-Catholic attitude. It has been here since the Puritans appeared in the colonies. Note: Take notice that the YMCA administrator avoided any replies to this post. If anything was false in my report, then they could make an appeal. But, no response is a response, folks. In other words, their avoidance proves their guilt. You do not mistreat someone in such a disrespectful, degrading way without consequences.

This is such a great place to become a member of and bring the kids for swimming, and all kinds of activities.

Swimming fun, my kids now grandson have enjoyed the variety of sport options. Fields can be muddy and a mess to play on, Mosquitoes can be a problem with the woods. Crazy parking. I do wish they had more options to purchasing a membership. Overall a safe clean environment with clean bathrooms.
