From the reviews
I have been to other YMCA locations and this location has the best instructors anywhere. I go every single day and take several classes, I also use machines and walk the track. My husband is a member as is my daughter, her entire family, and my son. My grandchildren have taken swim lessons at the y.
We really enjoy this YMCA, its probably on the smaller side compared to other locations, but that doesn't bother us any since we prefer it quiet. We don't have any complaints!
Really enjoyed our visit to this YMCA! It was a large establishment with an outdoor playground and indoor pool. The locker rooms were large and clean. Our family spent all of our time in the outdoor, castle-themed, splash pad and picnic area.
Great place to workout & swim, then enjoy the whirlpool & sauna. Friendly staff, respectful, family atmosphere. I recommend the "Emma B Howe," YMCA, without hesitation.
