I see that people say that is a great place to work out. Except that they don’t allow you to have a water bottle next to you while you’re working out. Dealbreaker for me. The worst part was is I was literally walking to the water fountain to fill up my cup, and I got yelled at for having a cup. I had to ask for permission to go fill my water. Also funny thing is is a woman had a water bottle right on the treadmill, which is totally understandable while my husband and I were stopped. Seemed homophobic. Very very disappointing.😔

The staff wasn’t helpful at all when trying to get my children enrolled into camp there. Even though there were other options inorder for them to start, we were told an expensive amount instead of helpful ways to better assist me and my family. I feel as if we were not wanted there.

A bit of an odd place. It is like an open air gym. No A/C, and not many wall. Just fans and old equipments with rust on them. Maybe it is the beat you get on an island.

Arrived to the grassy parking lot of YMCA. The women at the front desk were very friendly and helped us get day passes ($15 each), monthly it’s $40 which is not bad. There was adequate amount of equipment and cardio. There were bathrooms for men and women and lockers through the gym area. They have classes available for people to take and they even have a water bottle station which is a big upside!! Did not mind it here because it’s friendly and pretty clean.

I just moved here from California and I Love💕💕💕🌺🌺🌺 it here. The staff is Super Nice and Helpful… I appreciate that the gym and restrooms are always clean and the YMCA members are respectful of each other’s space in the gym . When I said the staff is helpful I truly meant that. The staff member in the photo is helping a new YMCA member and he found my workout band. Thank You All for such a wonderful environment💕💕💕😌😌😌
