I did not go in because I could not find a parking space. The parking lot is small, the spaces are narrow, and some of them are very difficult to get in and out of due to the structure of the parking lot. There is a dirt lot out front that was full as well. It looks like a beautiful location and I stopped someone in the parking lot and asked if this was normal for the parking lot to be full, and she said yes, but that the classes were good. If I can’t get in and I don’t want to drive around five times waiting for someone to leave that doesn’t help me. Not much available on the island so I understand a full parking lot.
I've upgraded my review from 1 to 3 stars because Lindsay kindly called me back to answer my questions. I'll update again once I go have a workout. So far, so bad! I'm just trying to reach someone there to ensure my out-of-town Y membership can be used here. Unfortunately, after multiple calls, they either don't answer or put me on eternal hold. Clearly not a well run Y. I would guess my experience inside won't be much better.
Friendly front desk staff. They greet you when you walk in. Smaller facility than what we are used to in Tennessee, but this location is closer to our new home for kids' sports and swim lessons.
New member to The YMCA family. In the past, I've always worked out at large Gyms with tons of equipment. This facility provides enough of equipment and amenities to get a good workout. Depending on your goals, you should be able to use what they have. I was able to switch from one location to McArthur. This location has an outdoor pool, and a basketball court. Since I'm now over age 65, this facility is working out. As a former Bodybuilder, I was excited to discover a couple of pieces of equipment that my former location did not have. The workout floor with weights, is not really big, but not too crowded. I found that early afternoon is a time where it is not too busy. People are friendly. Staff could probably be more engaging. Overall, good experience.
