Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

Great staff personable friendly.
New equipment Finally.
Would not recommend it for kids am not a fan of a Community bathroom where perverts could get to kids. Bad idea the world is not safe and you will not keep them safe by allowing men in with girls.

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

Love the classes and pickleball. Hate how difficult it is to see a full weekly schedule without going into every single day and checking rooms. This dumps you back into the full Y area list. It takes sooooo much time. Just make a monthly or weekly schedule.

I always enjoy my time when I visit the Y. My 6-year old goes to the swimming program and plays in a daycare, I do Zumba. Cannot wait for the summer when outdoor pool will be open.

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

It is very clean and great - my only feedback would be to limit hours when kids can be there or to have a "kids zone" maybe in the back area for late middle schoolers/early high schoolers to workout. It can get a bit hectic on the machines and in the turf area in the late afternoon early evening.

What do you like about our program and activities?

This was a great for my child to participate in. It helped introduce listening, following directions and worked on strengthening their coordination. I would recommend this to other parents and toddlers to participate in.

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

Modern, lots of rooms, classes and machines to use. Pool is well maintained. Great activities for the young, and there's a food court inside! Other Ys should be modeled this way!

My only wish for improvement are the lockers, they're not very good and can't hold much

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

I’d likely recommend the Y (YMCA) because it offers a powerful combination of community, wellness, and personal growth opportunities. Here’s why:

Holistic Wellness: The Y focuses on more than just physical fitness—it supports mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Whether you're working out, attending a support group, or joining a wellness class, the Y encourages balanced living.

Inclusive Community: It’s a welcoming space for people of all ages, backgrounds, and fitness levels. The Y fosters a sense of belonging, which is especially valuable for individuals or families seeking community support.

Affordable Programs: With financial assistance programs and sliding scale memberships, the Y is more accessible than many private gyms or wellness centers.

Family-Friendly Environment: The Y offers childcare, youth sports, swim lessons, and teen programs, making it an ideal place for families to grow and thrive together.

Values-Driven Mission: The Y operates with a strong sense of purpose—promoting youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. It’s more than a gym; it’s a movement that contributes to stronger communities.

Consistent Nationwide Quality: Whether you’re in a big city or a small town, YMCAs tend to uphold similar standards. That reliability makes it easy to recommend broadly.
