★★★★★Carlo N.

SC Gildred Family YMCA is a nonprofit organization devoted to health and fitness of its community. This huge facility has an olympic size pool, basketball gymnasium, cardio room, weight room, pilates, locker rooms etc. They have membership plans and free wifi. It was my first time here and staff were affable and respectful. Facility is clean and organized. I came to workout and play some basketball. I really enjoyed my experience here. Overall, this is a fantastic facility for the community. I recommend you visit if you’re in the area.

★★★★★Collin Green

Clean, and very well run. It is a fun place to be and workout. A kind of center of the valley.
