From the reviews
Staff is great,facilities are very clean and the group classes are awesome 👍 Swimming lessons are excellent. Unfortunately their pumps are outside so everytime there's a storm they have to cancel. Still, worth it. My only observation would be that they should fix or remove the the play place structure at the kids zone.
This is a great YMCA. We have been coming here for a couple years and love that its in our neighborhood. The staff is amazing - everyone is so friendly and welcoming. If you ever need anything addressed, they handle it quickly, efficiently, and with care.
Kelly was extremely nice and helpful in getting me signed up with the other ladies also being pleasant! Never too crowded and plenty of room to move around. The rock wall was a surprise and have already used it. The jacuzzi and pool are always clean. Glad I finally went down and got signed up! I definitely recommend.
I enjoy the water aerobics and water yoga. They have a lot to choose from. Different instructors with different techniques. I love being able to work just about every part of my being without hurting my joints. Come try it!😁😊
