Member Testimonials
The new equipment is very nice. Can we please have extra mats? I’ve requested this before but the black single mats are always locked up in studio. There isn’t much room on the big blue mat upstairs for individual core work. Can you please leave 5 mats out. Other y members are looking for these as well, or leave equipment room unlocked. Thanks.
Pickleball participation, weight room, and machines for exercising.
I appreciate being greeted at the front desk. The instructors for the classes I attend are excellent at teaching and motivation. The membership at the Y are courteous. There is a beautiful pool area and I've used all 4 water wells!
Welcoming “front door”, being greeted by name, eager to answer questions. Excellent choices in group programs for all sorts of skills and needs. The community group has given me wonderful friends, and finds ways to include all.
The Mel Korum Y is a great gym with a very nice and professional staff. I would rate a perfect 10 but there is only one hangup we have had in the past - please improve communication between the lifeguards who close the toddler pool, and the staff who update its status in the front lobby and on the website. We have had two past occasions where my young son and I were informed the pool was closed after being informed it was open by the two above mentioned sources. We were informed of the pools closure at the last minute by lifeguards who claimed staffing issue.
Fun, Faith, family, fitness, friendship, fellowship and opportunities to serve God by serving the community. 😊
I have been away since Covid. Joined another gym. It never felt like home to me I tried to go early in the morning and it just didn’t feel right I was also paying$30 more a month for hardly any classes offered I finally decided it was time to return to the YMCA The first morning I returned. I felt like I was home. I always called the early morning people. “The Breakfast Club” and some of them were still there All I can say is it’s good to be back. And today the new equipment gave it that new car smell.
Love the zumba classes and the friends I've met. Absolutely love David's line dancing (dance beat) classes!!!! He is the BEST teacher you could ask for. Please please continue this class and advertise it better. It is such good exercise that I lost 25 pounds since it started so I could do it without being as winded.
All the staff are very helpful and pleasant.
New weights
Friendly desk folks. Appreciate the walking track, love the lap pool & hot tub, steam room & sauna. Appreciate the swimsuit spinner to reduce the moisture before it goes back into my bag.
Enjoy that there is a Masters Swim group.
I also very much appreciated the class of Women on Weights that I attended prior to the pandemic. (I am sure I would never tried the free weights by myself!)
So, thanks!
My husband and I like getting out of the rain and cold during the winter months. I like that the YMCA is a very big facility so it’s never crowded when we go in the afternoon hours. Parking is never a problem close to the entrance. The main reason we use the YMCA is because the cost is covered by our Medicare advantage insurance, otherwise we couldn’t afford it.
The classes, jump start, chair yoga, shallow water aerobics

I just want to say how I appreciate the cleanliness of this facility!!!!
Been going here for many years. They repaint the walls constantly, some times to change color or after a damage repair both make sense. But many times I didn't see damage or repair or a dirty wall, it is just repainted. I used to see people cleaning floors or lockers in the changing room, I don't see that for more than a year. Just if someone has made a big mess like a spill or tacking in mud. I point out empty hand sanitizers often, so often I don't want to be that guy that always complains. But then I try to use them and they remain empty for a week or more at a time, and no they did not get refilled and then were emptied again. They don't get used up that fast, they can last more than a week, even with my heavy usage.
They are remodeling the gym and equipment now, that's great. If you do the showers again, the anti-slip flooring" grit in the floor paint" is fine also. But like I said I did see people cleaning in the showers and felt sorry for them scrubbing the textured floor surface in the drain ditch water collection system under the shower heads. You have to get in there with a hand brush to scrub it good. So it isn't cleaned as well as the floor and is pretty scummy now. It doesn't need the rough texture, it can be smooth paint. If your foot is in that drain you slipped on the flat floor and your falling down, you don't put you foot in it when showering. Smooth paint would make it easier to keep clean.
Workers are friendly. You have a lot of different equipment.
It's a great friendly place, from the class I'm taking to the administration people.
Love the friendly people. Love how clean and available all the equipment is. I do wish the registration for kids classes was a little more user friendly and easier to guarantee classes but been a member for over a decade not going anywhere.
The family vibe
The amazing pool and hot tub
convenient hours, freshly renovated gym, friendly staff.
