Member Testimonials
I use the weight rooms, which have lots of machines and free weights to meet all my training needs. But I also love walking past the large gym and seeing people in a morning fitness class, or playing pickle ball or badminton, or in the midday playing pick-up basketball. On Sundays I get to see the cute kids running down the hallway in their swimsuits excited to go to their swim class with Mom or Dad. I love that their are all kinds of activities, all ages, and all degrees of fitness gather at the Y to have healthy fun.
friendly and helpful staff. good equipment. what I DONT like is members in the workout room who sit on the equipment blocking use by others and read/text on their cellphones!!
Excellent equipment, helpful, knowledgeable, friendly staff.
Good variety of programs and classes for the whole family.
I like the variety as well as the large exercise rooms.
Good variety of group exercises, all welcoming and inclusive.
I am a USAF Disabled Veteran with Cody my Service Dog. We joined the YMCA to pursue mostly aqua-fitness therapy due to my spinal and knee issues. These conditions create chronic pain for me. The facility is equipped with a lap pool, aqua-fitness pool and a jacuzzi. The jacuzzi in particular assists me with chronic and severe flare-ups.
The only issue I have with the YMCA is that I feel ostracized and discriminated against because of Cody. I was told we have to utilize a gender neutral bathroom to change clothes and Cody is NOT allowed on the pool deck. By ADA regulations and laws, this should not be the case. Both I and my service dog have the right to utilize every inch of the facility without being discriminated against, except for immersion, of Cody, into the pool. Which I completely understand for health reasons. But, children with dirty diapers, should nonetheless be restricted as well.
I use the gym, stretch room and pool and find the facilities clean, fairly up to date and comfortable.
Healthy and fun with lots of encoouragement

Kidsclub is the major reason I’m a member! The recreational pool too!
I don't really get involved in the programs or activities, but I really like the facility! I take advantage of the workout machines, the sauna, and the hot tub primarily. Staff is courteous, and the place is generally clean and well-maintained. Love this place.
