Member Testimonials
I went to Buckner YMCA to swim. It was much nicer for the lap swimmers there compared to norton commons YMCA. There were actual lap swimmers and not kids and people just floating... blocking the lanes during lap swim. It is farther for me to drive, but well worth it. Recommend Buckner YMCA.
Great kids club, friendly staff, equipment, very clean, beautiful building.

Ruth has been great to work with and interacts with the children so well! We will definitely be signing up for more classes with her in the future.
Wonderful staff!
We enjoy the friendly atmosphere and the personal trainers are excellent. Everyone there is so helpful. Also, the facility it nice and clean. Your children's area is excellent & a wonderful asset to parents. We are so fortunate to have the YMCA in our area!
They focus more on character which is good for the littles when they start competing. I appreciate the opportunity to let my kids try out various sports knowing there will be an effort to build them up and let them learn without the pressure of not being good enough to play. It’s helped them have a much more positive experience and allowed them to decide what they enjoy. Also love the childcare, super helpful as well as the offering of group classes.
Easy and low key- a great introduction to sports for my 3 year old
Great low-stress way to introduce a child to a sport.

Sports programs
Great facility and helpful staff.
I enrolled my 3 year old in youth soccer to help him burn off some energy and the YMCA was the perfect choice. It’s the ideal balance of fun and structure.
The kids club and the heated pool
The staff that work with youth sports have always been a pleasure to work with, answer my questions with no hesitation, and helpful.
Great for kids sports and activities. Also great for exercise
The best part of the ymca is all the programs offered for kids and that it is family oriented.
The range of equipment and schedule of classes.
Pricing and length of season
I like the focus on recreation for kids who aren’t interested in club sports. I wish winter rec soccer had continued past age 11 for my older son.
