★★★★★Mike Mastracco

Very friendly members on the front desk. This facility is always clean and organized. Many pieces of equipment to work on, always clean and ready to go. Two swimming facilities, basketball court and so much more. This is a full optioned out "Y".

★★★★★Edward Connell

The newest Y has everything for families, singles, and seniors. The pool area is massive. Basketball, soccer, lacrosse, pickleball, full weight room, huge walking track, treadmill, bikes, stair stepper, elliptical, and, of course, the EGYM. Stop in and get trained for a full body workout! NOW.

★★★★★Judy Craigmile

Enjoy the faculty instructors and overall staff. Very clean facility. Easy to find parking. I feel healthier and stronger since starting my class 3.5 months ago. Fun group of folks!

★★★★★Autumn Starr

Words can't describe the excitement I feel walking into this 100k sq ft new Y! So many options to choose from. Great equipment, brand new, such diversity. 3 pools to swim in plus steam and dry sauna.I love the classes too. You'll want to come everyday! I didn't include photos of gym or courts but they're there!

★★Caroline Taveras

I would love to give 5 stars but I will be lying. This place needs to get rid of the co-ed steam room in all the YMCA How can you feel comfortable when lustful energy is comfortably looking at you? This place had surprised me. Our bodies are supposed to be our temple. These rooms are awkward and very uncomfortable. You need to do something about this issue I don't think I am the only one who feels disgusted by this.
