★★★★★Ashley LutkerThis Y has become a second home to us! The group classes are so fun. I've made friends; I'm so much healthier now; and I've been able to see some amazing transformations in other people there. Oh and we love Miss Nancy for daytime childcare!
★★★DavidGreat gym, very friendly staff. Sadly a lot of machines are broken and have been broken for 6months or so. I have been a member here for many years and the decline over the last year is very concerning. I hope it comes back and they get their equipment up to date. It’s always busy so I’m sure the money isnt the problem
★★Cici CCame on a weekend with a trial membership so my son could work on his basketball skills. Was told they did not have a key to the storage room where the balls are kept and they don't have any at the desk. No balls and no key to the storage seems a bit ridiculous. The desk staff are okay but unfriendly and inattentive as unfortunately is per usual with most YMCA's. Glad we took the trial before committing.
★★★Greg RohdeThe South City YMCA is a nice facility. The staff is friendly and the facility is clean. There are many machines for working out. They have both weight machines and free weights. There are about three studios for group exercise, or spinning. They offer a wide variety of courses, and you have to sign up on your app. You cannot sign up for an entire series; but each individual session. until 24 hours in advance, so it doesn’t allow to plan ahead for long-term. It has a gym with one main basketball court and the running track requires 19 laps to complete a full mile. It has a swimming pool with a few lanes and an area for wading or walking or water aerobics. I do appreciate they provide a variety of locker options, including ones where you customize the combination, so you don’t need to bring a lock. There is a sauna and a steam room. I’d give it a five if it had more basketball courts, a larger walking track also more monitors you can see or hear. Most of the monitors on the machines don’t work, so bring your own entertainment.
★★★★★Tom KD0FTE5-star One decrement could be Indoor basketball court size/walking zone. The other is no hot tub. The rest of the facility is top notch. I agree with other reviewers about friendliness of staff. Very pleasant. Kudos. This shows outstanding management. I find YMCA pools somewhat warm. This one was warm but not excessively hard to workout in (better). Nice water quality. Kudos again. Sauna but no hot tub.
