Wonderful YMCA! The pool was awesome for swimming laps and they allowed swimmers to borrow the equipment. Everything at this Y is new and modern. It's worth becoming a member or visiting!

My husband and I love the YMCA. There is something for everyone - workout classes, water aerobics, pickleball and great equipment. The staff is great and everyone is so friendly. We are so glad we joined! Best gym ever!

Jacob and cameron at the front desk were so kind and informative They are both absolute professionals and deserve to be paid like it. You can't find workers like that every day. Also, the female lifeguards are so kind and thoughtful and really get involved with the guests in a positive and informative way. Thankyou so much for all of the amazing staff and for everyone creating a positive environment!

The basketball program for elementary aged kids was a ‘bleep show’! It was bad for the 2024 season and was even worse in 2025. The way players were selected had one team with a clear advantage in the 6/7 and especially 10/11 year olds. One coach for the 6/7 year olds said nothing to the kids during practices and did absolutely no coaching, even after complaints from parents . One of worst aspects of the league was the referees inability to call fouls on players for purposely trying to hurt other players. One instance a player throw another player to the ground after the whistle, no foul was called. Parents and spectators were shocked. These type of hard fouls continued all season in all the divisions. No one can make every traveling or double dribble call, however, safety should be of paramount importance of the league and for the Ref’s. Another instance saw a young player head butt another player, the inexperienced ref saw it and didn’t even help that young player understand why that is not allowed. He did NOTHING except gaslight after the game as to why he did nothing. Safety is not a priority at Y. We paid a lot of money for our children to play. We definitely did not get our money’s worth. It was not an enjoyable experience 2 years in a row. Not to mention that the league literally waited until the last week when most teams had been eliminated to provide medals and pictures. We won’t be back!

I've been a member few months and joined because of the classes and the pool. The classes I've taken that are taught by Malissa Earl are great! She really knows her field and each class is a good workout. She offers modifications for exercises and I appreciate this due to some limited mobility. The facility is clean and the equipment is well maintained.
