Powered by GoogleI love it here 🤩 moved up here thought I wasn't going to keep my ymca membership. But it's is part of the channel island group. Great staff great machines .
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.
This Y is a great place to work out with lots of classes, a pool and childcare! I highly recommend it.
Staff are always friendly & welcoming, even during extremely busy times. Facilities are always in great condition, thanks to its members & great staff too.
Clean, and very well run. It is a fun place to be and workout. A kind of center of the valley.
