From the reviews
Renovations look great, staff is friendly. You can pay a small upcharge for after hour access to the workout area as well as the summit location. My only suggestion is opening the locker room for after hours.
The YMCA is like my second home!!! I go there for physical, mental, and spiritual nourishment! I get positive encouragement from my dear friends, extended family, and Y staff. The staff are Always warm and friendly. The moment we walk in the door the kind, helpful staff greet us with smiles and salutations!
We celebrated Halloween at the Y and had a fabulous time. Shooting at zombies, picking pumpkins in the aqua patch, cider and donuts, books and mittens for all the kids. We were so excited to have such a fun option for the grandchildren to enjoy. Looking forward to the next event.
Such a nice gym! It’s always super clean, staff are always friendly, and the childcare is my favorite. I love the classes they offer as well. I do hope they add more workout machines in the future. Overall I highly recommend!
