I like there are different activities each day of the week for the kids. My son gets excited for field trip and swim days at camp.
There is a lot going on at this place! So far I've enjoyed the pool, weight machines and treadmill. Most everything is pretty straight forward and the only "hiccup" I experienced was yesterday when I sat at a weight machine and suddenly noticed a large water container (same color as workout machine, so kind of hidden) at the foot of the machine. Turns out someone was using THREE machines at the same time.
Aside from the occasional rude person (I've seen some people not wiping down machines afterward use) this "multiple-machine user" has been the only takeaway from the place. Being run the way it is, I really don't expect people to not follow through with these basic formalities but obviously no matter where we are, there are people who need a little more guidance in order to properly interact with one another.
Focusing on the programs and activities, I like how so many programs and activities are offered. Even guitar lessons are on the list (seasonally) and no matter what time we arrive, there is *always* something going on AND there is *always* some good workout equipment available, even if one person is taking up three machines at a time without actually being at the machines at those times. I haven't used my membership at any other location but I am looking forward to it even though I believe the Potranco location has EVERYTHING I could want, including an indoor pool!
The May’s Family YMCA at Potranco is my kids’ favorite YMCA because of the indoor Gaga ball, as well as all of the active gym games they play there. A lot of the other locations just have toys and games, but nothing active for the kids, so I really appreciate this particular location so much!!
I like the various activities and overall fun my children experience. Neither child has never wanted to skip a day or not attend- that tells me they are really enjoying themselves, and for that I’m extremely grateful and have peace of mind knowing I can step away and my children are in a comfortable environment for them.
