★★★★★Jace KingThe YMCA offers many amenities, however we as a family mostly utilize their youth soccer for our child. The soccer is well run and keeps a modest schedule. It only costs $100 for a season and gets the kid.out of the house and exercising. Highly recommend.
★★Aaron ThomasCommon workout areas are constantly dirty with food. Disgusting to workout in. When discussing this with the front desk it’s never addressed. Take some pride in the facility and have your people clean up, how difficult is that?
★Jesse RalphRaised membership prices, took away towels and the sauna is broken at one of the locations more often than not. West side Y hasn’t had any new gym equipment since it opened
★Rod TuckWomen’s sauna closed everytime I go in. Locker room was closed for weeks, then it re opens to be closed for 2 hours 3 days a week for “cleaning”. This has been going on for months. Paying 60+ for zero access to a locker room is unacceptable.
★★★★★WanderingLifeVery nice large facility. We attended a swim meet this location in January. They had the temps reasonable in the pool and in the staging area. The parking lot was cleared of snow and We didn't find any issues to complain of. Thank you.
