YMCA Paula G Manship Branch

Great workout facility. They even have a daycare which is nice. They have all kinds of exercise classed. They have daycamp for kids during the summer also during school holidays. The staff at the Y are nice. I would recommend this place to all my friends.

Love this gym. Very spacious and clean. I like how the cardio and weight rooms are separate. Both the cardio and weight equipment is new and everything is put away in its proper spot. The outdoor pools are in good shape and always staffed. The locker room is large and the floors were recently updated to a nonstick surface. Basically everything I could ask for from a gym.
Only downside is that the wifi is spotty and only works at some parts of the gym.

This place is awesome! I was really impressed. The pools outside of course intrigued my daughter and spin class caught my attention. It just sounded like so much fun! They were going crazy in there! The facility was clean and well kept. The classes offered are extensive and they are all free with a membership. Also, the staff seemed really sweet.

Love that they offer tons of classes here! The spin class is really fun. All the staff has been more than helpful. They also have free lockers. Oh, and they have personal trainers.

It’s fun to stay at the Y M C A! Well I wouldn’t «stay», but the workout facility is very nice here.
There are a lot of running/​elliptical machines and they ALL have TV’s. That’s the only thing that gets me through a workout… being able to zone out to some mind numbing show that I wouldn’t watch at home b/​c I don’t know the channel order and don’t feel like searching through 67 channels to find something I would normally watch.
That reminds me. Whatever happened to showing the Simpsons from 5 – 7 every day (maybe not on one station but it was easy to flip around and find it on SOMEWHERE)??? That used to be the gold standard. Then one by one the BR stations started replacing each half an hour with Maury or Judge Judy. What does that say about our society that people would rather drain their brains with paternity tests or dog bite victims than to have their minds and horizons expanded by witty banter and moral fortitude?
The Y also has a room full of weight machines and a room for free weights so the grunters don’t have to mix with the… well…non grunters. There’s a pool too, but I haven’t used it. I think they have swimming lessons and a team too.
TENNIS: this is the best tennis facility I’ve ever been to. TON’s of courts, both hard and soft. Unfortunately I never have anyone to play with so I just gaze longingly at the 10 courts of youth tennis camp, wishing that I was young again just to be able to get more court time. The only adult round robin tournaments they have are during the day on weekdays so I suppose it’s geared toward retirees or rich people that can leave work whenever they want. If anyone wants to play, I’m a 3.0−3.5 player and am available almost any time after 5 or weekends. Message me. Please.
OH, and the men’s locker room just got a new floor that is very shiny with rainbow flecks. It’s fun to stay at the…
