Powered by GoogleIt says on the website that you can take showers here. As a Christian based place you should be allowed to use the shower as a non-member. Nope. They turned us away to go-to the salvation army. Didn't even ask us our situation. Just a no. That's not Christian or even Christ-like.
The people were helpful, especially Kevin. The facility was clean and well maintained. The equipment appeared to be functioning and well maintained. They offer scads of classes. I joined through Blue Cross and got a $28 oer month membership with no contact. Very pleased!
Nice facilities and pleasant staff. Visited multiple times while on a business trip to the area. The equipment is up to date and well maintained. Everything was clean. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Quality gym. 10/10 would recommend.
Clean facility, open one room cardio, and limited weights. Basketball court, two pools, and a cross-fit facility. Great for getting in shape. They do a lot for the community, kids sports available. This location is great for group classes. If you're a member and more interested in weights, visit the downtown location. The downtown location has a lot more to offer for those more interested in lifting.
Pool is nice, but too cold. I mainly joined for the pool and was initially unable to finish my workouts due to getting too cold and physically unable to stop shaking and mentally could not take it anymore. I had to buy a thermal vest and wear thermal leggings just to finish my workouts and swim in an indoor pool, which I have never experienced before. After I get out of the pool I am shivering and have to stand in a hot shower for a while just to warm up enough to function. I understand if this was an exclusively competitive pool where athletes are putting out a hard effort and don’t want to overheat, but this is a YMCA where people want to swim at a variety of efforts that may not make them as hot. I spoke with a large number of people who also expressed concerns about the pool being too cold and have even canceled their membership because of this. I was also told that this issue has been brought up before, but nothing was done. When I brought it up, I was told “oh you will just get used to it” and “just swim harder”. Well, most days I am not swimming at a hard effort and use swimming as a form of cross training and recovery. I also have not gotten used to the cold temperature after a month and a half. The rest of the gym is good, but the pool temperature and the consideration for customer service is very disappointing. I do not think increasing the temperature by a few degrees would cause anyone to overheat, but it would certainly help those who find the pool to be too cold enjoy their workouts. I hope this issue can be reconsidered as the rest of the facility is good and the staff is nice and professional.
