Powered by GoogleMy daughter really loves the swimming class that they have, it is expensive but the instructors make it worth it! We love the kids club also, she has so much fun 🥰
Was a big disappointment. We used it for the kids classes for a few months. Put my kids in 2 of them. One of them they enjoyed and went fine. The other one the coach no-showed every week. I even tried calling in the mornings to confirm classes were on but there seemed to be some major communication issues there as we would come and staff spent the hour trying to figure out what was going on. They also went from having more morning classes to hardly anything to offer in the mornings. I also didn't realize they stop classes for 2 months during the winter. Was not what I had expected.
The YMCA offers many opportunities, particularly for those seeking a gym with a strong sense of community. From the moment I stepped through the doors, I was warmly greeted by the staff, whose dedication and passion are truly commendable. Mak and Kris, in particular, exemplify the heart and commitment that make this place special. Their unwavering dedication to their roles shines through in every interaction.
It's not a Christian or spiritual atmosphere at all. Pretty much 1/8 of the people that go there are in a little click and if you're new and young and a little bit strange then they don't want anything to do with you. I did have a lot of fun in the warm water pool and with some of the classes. Nice facility and teachers, just some members and one of the staff that were rude wates of space
I have mixed feelings about this place. Almost all the staff at the front desk are great, the monthly fee is really fair, and the people who watch your kids while you work out are all really good. The pool is amazing, the karate and ballet classes are good, and the workout area is good too. The trouble is that the locker rooms can smell really terrible sometimes and that more than half the lifeguards are on their phones for several minutes in a row and not paying any attention to what is happening in the pool. I've taken pictures of the lifeguards on their phones several times over the course of weeks and showed the front desk and they said this is a known issue but that the manager won't do anything about it. I've even approached the lifeguards and asked them to put their phones away myself but it doesn't last. Most of the swim instructors are really good, but some of them are barely aware of your kids during swim lessons. If you pretend like there are no lifeguards on duty and don't mind occasionally smelly locker rooms, this place is fantastic. Hopefully more people mention these issues and they do something about it.
