This facility is very nice, the fitness area is a bit smaller when it is full of people. I was going to give it 5 stars, but the 4 is just because of the locker room lack of dress code that I will talk about. Nice indoors activities. Nice swimming pool. Daycare. Place is always clean. The locker rooms have old showers but clean. I agree with the previous comments about a must have policy to restrict the men and women from walking around literally naked. I know my sons have been terrified by seeing what they dont want to see in the locker room. Not only that, my little son was really terrified after he had an incident of a grown up man walking all around the boys locker room naked, he had no accompanied kids with him to be their. When my husband and my son went to the front desk, the response was ok will let the guy know. Also they should have after hours only ladies hours so the modest and not in shape ladies would be encouraged to attend with no embarrassments. Other than that, the staff is nice and the place is very nice.

Parking lot full of spectator parents Basketball courts full of elementary kid games Pool full of elementary swim team practice and meets Racquetball courts full of day care, karate and kids generally doing things that are not racquetball. I try going every day after work and generally spend my first full 15 minutes trying to find a parking spot. After either getting lucky with one of the 40 designated YMCA parking lot spots or side street metered parking I can go in and start becoming disappointed with how many kids are here. And then all their non member parents are too. If your an adult looking to join a fitness center, this is not the one for you. Dont spend your money. If your a parent that wants to let your kid run around, by all means welcome home. Which is really unfortunate because its a fairly descent facility which has been utilized completely for kids basketball, swimming, karate and day care.

I had spoken with Jalisa about summer/after school program payment options. She referred to send in my financial aid application to Lynelle. This was back in mid May. over the course of June-July, I waited for someone to contact me. I left two voicemails for Lynelle and tried to contact Jalisa and never heard back from either. I found this to be very unprofessional and I was not impressed. Very inconvenient.

Hard to get a workout with so many people all at the same time and I agree with Leo P review about the mens locker room old guys very disrespectful walking around naked not being considerate! Its at all YMCAs and its gross! I avoid the locker room and just workout and go home to shower.......idk why the Y all the Ys havent implemented a policy about old dude just hanging around balls out in the locker room

Dont take the locker signs lightly. They clearly tell us to purchase locks for their lockers. Well, I learned the hard way by getting my wallet stolen out of it. Also, as of now, they are out of locks so be sure to buy one before coming. Besides that, I cant say anything else bad about it. Love to workout, get my cardio on and relax either in the sauna, steam sauna or whirlpool.

Im torn on how to review this YMCA. On the one hand it has fantastic racquetball courts, pool, basketball, and track. On the other hand the gym is way to cramped and small. Unfortunately thats the area I use most so I dont really enjoy it. The need to knock out the wall for one of their classrooms on the second floor and expand the free weight section.

Mens locker room is unbelievably disrespectful. Almost all the old white males walk around naked...even stand in your way naked smirking.....super dominance thing. I told the manager, he said he knows but it is a locker room so he can do nothing about it. Whats more.......a huge percentage of this building is racketball courts....????

very nice facility, too bad the schedules and the size of the venue dont adequately meet the needs of the community. i love the adults only locker rooms, but wish they would have a place for the serious athlete/swimmer/fitness seeker and another place for the kids and the loungers.

Unfortunate. This popular staple looks great, but it is so cramped in there. And parking....good luck. With so much thought into the development in this area and whats afforded to the community, they really missed the mark here.

Very good facility. Might get a little crowded at times and there might be more challenges finding parking at times, but nothing outrageous. There is a parking ramp, quite literally, diagonally across the street.

Great, family-friendly place to work out. Babysitting is always free. There are activities that children of all ages can participate in.
