★★★★★Tom ScottWe are visiting for two weeks and needed water aerobics and strength training to continue our home routines. This place is fantastic. While it is very busy, the gym is huge and the equipment includes most every piece of equipment you can think of. We took a tour and received 2 guest passes to use any day and then we bought 10 visit pass that we could share for $100. I have attached the pool schedule and the class schedule for h the gym.
★★★★★Jessica P.I’ve really enjoyed coming to this YMCA. The pool is always clean, and the facility is well kept. Mya is always friendly and welcoming at the front desk and makes every visit a positive experience. Great staff and a great place overall!
★Erica JensenAlthough the facilities are adequate, the front desk clerk, Moli, is lacking in customer service and understanding. Took over 10 minutes of asking for personal information when I was simply requesting a pricing list.
★★★★★David KocurZumba instructor was awesome! Great class. Had an issue with the front desk wanted all my information when all i wanted was a list of prices. Had to ask at least half a dozen times. I asked for his boss so that I could speak to someone who could help me. He said he is not sure where he was. I asked if he was working. He said he didn't know. I called the number on the card and the kid i was looking at answered the phone. He didnt even realized it was me who was talking to him. I was standing right in front of him. Then I raised my voice, just loud enough to get his attention and let him know I was no longer going to play his little game. And he needed to get me a list of prices. He finally did. I paid and the had a pleasant visit. Except for Moli the kid working the front counter.
★ForwhichaccountUsa was closed today so we branched out to swim. The place is ok signing in wasn't the greatest. We swam around 800 years and then we were swimming 50s doing some stroke work and talking things over. There were 3 people in the lane next to us swimming and 2 older people kinda swimming kinda walking in the next one. The lifeguard came up and and heard us talking stoke and was like “I like what you guys are talking about but I have to ask are you guys going to swim” we finished our workout and left. After reading the other comments I see we aren't the only ones. Uaa is cheaper and much nicer. We won't be back.
