From the reviews
Recently joined the Y. I was impressed by the amount of equipment and classes that are available. The track upstairs track is something I will use frequently. The staff I met were friendly and helpful. The facility itself was clean and pleasant to be in.
The indoor pool is better for swimming than the Jorgensen Y having more deep swimming area. Sometimes both the hot tub and pool seem to full for the filters which might cause some of the breakage. The sauna is better the other Ys in the area. It's workout area is clean, and has the major equipment you need.
Excellent child care. Great indoor and outdoor pools. I enjoy their different activities like yoga, tracks, treadmills, Zumba etc. Love the fact they have different branches all over
The staff is very friendly and welcoming and keep the facility clean and orderly. They have a good variety of group fitness classes throughout the day!
