Powered by GooglePlace is going down hill fast. Only thing you hear from basketball area is cursing and arguments. And place smells like weed 24/7. Not what the Y used to be like
Friendly staff and great spot with Sauna & Steam rooms in the locker area. If they have the hot tub that would be awesome but unfortunately they don’t have Hot tub or jacuzzi. I would definitely stop by again if I’m in the area.
Post the right hours to start, getting pretty much chased off the track while people are still on machines arw working out. But ok, its not managements fault for employes short comings. And to be honest I love the indoor track. But when I can hear people playing basketball cursing and just making random noise in general over my music in my earbuds. I wish they paid same attention to that. But guess it would require leaving the desk. Strongly thinking about cancel my family membership and joining team 85
Spin bikes are ancient. They’ve been telling us for years we were getting new bikes- but no new bikes. Requested that they do maintenance on them and was assured they would. Last week my bike had a broken foot strap, and a 1/4 turn resulted in so much tension that I could barely pedal. On other bikes, you may turn the knob 5-6 times before any noticeable change in tension. Spin room is consistently dirty - floor looks like it’s never cleaned, scraps of garbage on floor. Fans caked with dust. I’m tired of begging for something to change. Now actively looking for a new gym.
Love coming here. We originally signed up for swim lessons for one of our kids and ended up becoming full members. The facility is well maintained and clean, all the staff have been super helpful and nice. I would definitely recommend to anyone or families that are looking for a good place to work out or swim in the area.
