Friendly staff. Nice place for my son to play basketball and me to workout. Only down fall needs some improving and updating in everyday. I had the pleasure to visit waukee, Windsor heights and south side oh yea and down town. Ours can't compare? ?? See this as a problem.

My husband and I are from out of town and just visited the John R. Grubby Community YMCA. We were super impressed with the cleanliness of the Y. We were most impressed with how friendly and hardworking the staff was. Super helpful and attentive! If we return to the Des Moines area we will definitely visit this Y again!

They have a parenting class for fathers, after 4 weeks you get a year membership to every YMCA and after 8 weeks they help you with your child support. Amazing resource for those that need it and helps you to better understand your children.
