The manager was a little creepy and the facility is sort of nasty. There is mold on the sauna wall and they have closed their outdoor pool because it is not up to code. They lack in workout equipment and seem to appeal to an older crowd. If you are younger than 45 this may not be the scene you wish to be around. Majority of places seem to have youth who workout throughout the day but the only youth that are there are the workers who seemed to be ill trained and do not know their way around a weight. My suggestions is to try the Manship that is not far AT ALL from down the road or one of the other many facilities who seem to be more with it.

This is a well run facility with a friendly staff. It is family oriented. This "Y" welcomes all comers. I have personally been impressed with the trainers. They encourage, dont push. They are knowledgeable. They design a custom program to meet your needs. The pool, whirlpool and steam room are a plus. Even though this site is "tired" and could use renovation and upgrade, I find it superior to the ubiquitous "for-profit" gym-in-a-box due entirely to the staff . This site has a new Director. It is well patronized. My hope that it is in line for capital investment which would give it the highest rating in my view.

The facility is not a YMCA facility and the staff is okay but changes frequently. They do not have much experience with how to help you exercise because they are not avid in doing it themselves. You can tell who their frequent customers are and seem to have more knowledge and are more helpful then the workers themselves..

I love all of the YMCAs in BR. I mainly go for Zumba classes but occasionally to try out another class or just use the cardio equipment or weights. The group exercise classes can get a little crowded and it gets pretty hot in the room. Get there early for a good spot and stay hydrated!

Equipment is a little outdated, but you get a great workout in nonetheless. Indoor pool is nice if its too cold outside. Dont know of any gyms that have pools these days. Great feature and Ill take that any day over new equipment.

They keep increasing prices and cutting back the hours open. They close at any opportunity, all holidays. Definitely not run like a business. Been a member since 1995 and considering switching gyms. Their hours are so inconvenient.

My second favorite YMCA behind AC Lewis. Has a pretty good mix of equipment and usually too crowded.
