The slide is never open. We wait to bring our kids swimming during the times they post the slide will be open and during open swim and we get there and the slide is never on. They always have an excuse. Either not enough people working or swim lessons went longer than expected. Open swim is rarely open swim during the hours they post. We asked the lifeguard the last time we were there when the slide would be on(the hours posted were 1 to 3) it was 145 and was still not on. They kept telling us in 15 minutes. When they finally turned it on it was on for 15 minutes and they turned it off. They had more than enough staff that day. Today I saw at least 5 lifeguards on duty. One was assigned to the pool. Once again we were told the slide wont be on because they dont have enough staff. Unbelievable! We would understand if it was once in awhile, but it has been an issue every time we are there. Not worth our money. We will be cancelling our membership. Lifetime here we come!!

I feel like this Y is a great location but they always have a lot of kids around, and no one seems to monitor them. These are teenagers; they walk around on the workout/machine area and tie up machines when they arent using them. I come to do my thing and leave, its frustrating to have to deal with people in the way who arent there for the same reason. I love that they have a track at this Y, but same as above, kids and teenagers are allowed to be up there with no one who seems to care that theyre getting in peoples way. That said, there are also many adults that will walk the width of the track so they can chat, while someone is trying to run laps. Its inconsiderate and no one cares to correct the action. This location also doesnt seem to care of you have proper swim wear in the pool area. Ive seen people come in with jean shorts, full length yoga type pants, amongst other things.

We had a birthday party at this location on 6/25/2017 and the male lifeguard... I think his name is Tyler told me "if any of our kids need assistance in the pool he wont be the one going in after them." He was very short and unpleasant towards the children swimming. At one point we watched him snatch swimming dunbells out of some kids hands. #RUDE! Also, none of the lifeguards were even wearing swimming suits. If somebody ever needs their help they arent even prepared to jump in after them. Sad examples of life guards if you ask me. 2 thumbs down for the aquatics manager and the front desk staff whom hand you a business card and do nothing about it. They dont even offer to let their superior know about your issue.....

BEWARE of people helping themselves to your children’s clothing and shoes. If you have children and need to leave them in the daycare center. DO NOT leave their shoes, sippy cup, jackets, sweaters and coats in the cubby. On two occasions we have had our children’s stuff stolen. First it was our daughter’s brand new shoes and now our daughters 3t brand new winter coat. These are for children ages 2 and 3, the winter coat had 2 zippers and a toddler could not possibly put on the coat themselves, same goes with the shoes. The shoes have shoes laces so a 2 year old would need help putting them on. So unless you are ok with donating things to other people. Just take your stuff with you and lock them in a locker.

They report you to the police if your kids biting each other and they are not honest neither their manager. If you have boys do not go over their I cancelled my membership because of a swimming instructor reported child abuse as she noticed 2 bites marks on his arm. Personally, I told them I will let every body know about what happened. the police officer stated it is a kid bite and asked my kids about the bites filling the report out.one more thing if you want to have fun that is not your place, you are being watched and can be reported anytime. they said their social responsibility is helping families, yeah, by taking families apart, great job. Thanks for reading.

A lot has changed! My family and I have been a charter member of this YMCA for almost 20 years. Weve been through a lot of their youth programs in the summer time such as Camp Guy Robinson, Summer Power, and Youth Swimming lessons through out the school year. A wonderful place for individuals, couples, and families! With great access to the latest fitness equipment, awesome climbing wall, and absolutely the best staff to greet you every day. Happy to have called them my second home!

Horrible YMCA location. Locker rooms are smelly and unclean. Children are allowed to roam free in workout area, slam machines and run into people on the track with no enforcement from staff. Staff members creepily leering at female guests in sauna. Place has potential but needs better staff and management.

My wife and I have been going here for personal training and fitness for about 6 months and we love the Y! Andy, our Personal Trainer, is a great guy and has helped both of us made big strides in weight loss and overall health. Our three boys love coming to the Kids Play areas while we work out too!

Seriously. I left the JCC because they were awful, but mostly because of their fitness director, Donna Heck. Now I find out she is here! She is incompetent and ridiculous. Stay away from this location. I am switching to the YW. See ya.

I love the Y. Only thing I dont like, its gross to see people fully dressed in the pool and hot tub. My infant has to wear a swim diaper and plastic cover, but other people are in the pool fully dressed.... Something isnt right

Zero entry pool with young kids is great. They have several different sections of the pool that are at various depths to help track new swimmers. Also a warm pool. Awesome splash pad. Climbing wall in the gym.

We have had a great experience. Coach Megan is so patient with my granddaughter and all of the tumbling kids. The Executive Director, Margie, set up a tour for us. Smiling staff, clean facilities, and safe.

Because the front desk failed to process my cancellation in a timely manner, I was charged for an additional month. The association will not take responsibility for their failure.

Been coming here since I was like 7 years old or about 20 years. Always nice responsible staff and good exercise equipment. I wish they had more squat racks though.

The showers in the mens room would be mych inproved with some dividers or privacy curtains - and that would reduce the pressure on the family locker room usage too.

One of the most expensive Memberships compared to other YMCAs No Discounts for Veterans They want families and the young to join - discourage the old

Friendly staff, great facilities, and the pool is one of the best Ive been to for the Ymca. However, I wish they cleaned the sauna more often.
