What could we do to improve?

The Television’s have not been working for over 6 weeks. The management can’t seem to resolve this problem. They need to prioritize this issue. Very disappointing.

What do you like about your Soundview Famly YMCA Membership experience?

Great value. Freedom to make my own choices without pressure. I love the amount of work out classes- I wish more were at night/ evening. I do wish the pool was a little warmer though- it's the one thing that really makes it hard to spend time there with the kids at night. I like that there are family changing rooms and the facilities always feel clean. I love our indoor climbing gym for kids.

What could we do to improve?

I strongly believe the fairfield YMCA building should be rebuilt and made bigger to accommodate more swimming demand and general facilities demand. There is a lot of unused space in the front of the building. The pool needs to be twice as big and there should be family friendly areas (both indoor and outdoor) similar to the Westport YMCA offerings. This should include a splash pad, outdoor pool, indoor or outdoor pickleball, etc.

What could we do to improve?

My kids love the camp. It's a little pricey. I'd more likely recommend it if was affordable for the average family who absolutely need child care when school is not in session.

What could we do to improve?

I was working with my son during open swim to improve his stroke (giving him some pointers) and was told I couldn’t do so as they don’t allow personal trainers. I am not a personal trainer and was only helping my son. I explained that, but was told I couldn’t help him.

After that poor experience, I cancelled my membership.

What do you like about your Fairfield YMCA Membership experience?

The Fairfield YMCA is run with a lot of care for its members and the facility itself. It is bright, clean and welcoming. My only issue, which has been ongoing, is that folks who wish to exercise in the pool are welcomed during scheduled lap swim times. The pool is small. It means that those of us lap swimming, albeit at a slower speed than the other lanes, are not given the same consideration. When I wake up at 4:30am to lap swim, it is disappointing when there are two of us lap swimming in the slow lane and someone wishing to rehab an injury or simply walk around in the water comes in choosing not to do so during open swim. At times there are can be more than one person who is not a lap swimmer. This also happens during other scheduled lap swim times as well. That would be my only complaint. Other than that I think the Y is wonderful.

Get the kids off their cell phones while on the workout machines. Not only do they sit for a long time hogging the machine, who knows what they are filming??
