Community
My son has really enjoyed it!
This was my rising first grader’s very first time at the YMCA day camp. He had a blast. The counselors were very professional, accommodating, and enthusiastic. We look forward to coming back next year!
Quick check in. Friendly staff.
Love everything about Kraft! Love the workout classes - PLEASE add another step strength class!! Once a week is not enough and there’s always a waitlist! You have to sign up exactly 46 hrs before or you don’t get a spot! We also love the kidzone. The staff is so kind and I love all the activities they do. I have 4 kids and if we didn’t like the childcare we wouldn’t be members of the y. Love the pool too! Can’t think of anything negative to say, but please add another step strength class!! The people want it!!
My son is really enjoying the after school program at Pleasant Plains this year! The staffers seem to be engaging and enjoyable, and I love the positive and fun attention he's receiving each day - thank you all!
I love working out with a personal trainer who listens to my needs and challenges me with weights. I know I’m getting stronger and this makes me happy.
My husband and I were extremely happy with our Experian signing up for the YMCA at Kraft. We were greeted by Bruce., Pelara and Shannon ended up signing us up upon completion of the seven day guest pass. All of the other people that were at the Front Desk of whom I didn’t catch their names. We’re just so pleasant as well! We really enjoyed talking to the Front Desk and just love that they took extra time to get to know us. We truly look forward to using craft YMCA as our home gym. Thank you so much grfor such excellent customer service and such a welcoming feeling.

People are friendly and the staff are professional and helpful.
The general lay out of the gym is accommodating.
Anna, the group fitness instructor in the best!
I came to the Kraft Ymca to swim due to the temp closure of the Garner pool. I find the life guards to be much friendlier and kinder. At Garner, they are overly strict and don’t even smile around the kids. The Kraft lifeguards have pleasant personalities, and isn’t that a requirement if you’re working with children?! Just some smiles make you a more approachable person. 😁
Its close to home

A variety of activities with a caring and competent staff. Easy drop off and pick up. Email ahead of the week was helpful and contained clear and relevant information.
I love it here!

Cycling instructors, especially Sara. She’s very inclusive of members, seeks feedback and varies the music over multiple genres.
The upstairs track is fantastic. Longer than most indoor tracks at regular gyms.
Pool is very nice.
