YMCA

Pro: This gym has a lot to offer– variety of equipment, basketball, indoor pool, group fitness, rock wall (extra cost), child care (extra cost), spacious locker room, parking (free). The facility is clean and set up nicely. I have tried several of the classes and have found a few that I really enjoy. Although a little expensive for a single membership, the family plan is very reasonably priced.
Con: Overcrowding. I like to get in/​get out when going to the gym. For others, the YMCA seems to be a place where people like to socialize, so often I wait on equipment where people are sitting to chit-​chat, play on their phones, etc. The staff in the weight room do not address this, nor do they talk to people about not racking their weight. Evening group fitness classes are so packed, it is sometimes hard to find a space and can feel cramped.

This place is excellent. The facilities are always clean and even during the busy season I feel it’s not too crowded. I wish they had a hot tub but other than that this is all I could ask for in a gym. Friendly staff too.

I had to put my son for the half day summer camp at this YMCA facility. I had a very terrible experience over all with their process and camp. While registering at the camp they didn’t even mention me about any late pick up program and they told me hours are bit flexible to pick up till noon. My lunch time starts only by noon so I was fine enrolling him.
First week camp went in and I pick up my son before 12. On next week camp they charged me $ 20 for late pick up. We are fine paying money but just got surprised and asked hem why suddenly this week we had this fee. Then, I had to talk to
Summer camp manager Jeff.
Here comes the real thing! He was explaining me all the process they follow and then he says you come from different background and I come from this background. Still don’t understand why he has to bring my background.
I got really hurt by the way he talks. Never deal with him again.
We like the YMCA facility with nice pools, gym. if not I will not visit this site again.

One of the best YMCAs I have ever been too. I visited this facility while in town for work. I took advantage of the AWAY program as I am a member at my local Y.
Pros:
–AWAY members get free access up to 5 times in a year
–8 lane lap pool!!!
–HUGE aquatics center, lap pool, play pool with slide and therapy pool
–2 basketball courts, gymnastics area, 2^nd floor ¹⁄₁₆^th mile track
–studios for classes, 2 story rock wall
–tons of Sun through a lot of windows
–plenty of free parking
Cons:
–No free towels
–No hot tub
Great facility, the people of the greater Champagne area are super lucky.

Let me tell you my experience with the new Y so far:
1. My 2.5-year-old son was able to leave the Child Watch («Watch»?) area his first day there. The staff told us he «left unnoticed and was unattended and for some time» — and they didn’t take any responsibility for this. None. Not even an apology to us. Apparently he bailed and tried to find us. This is a calm, quiet boy who is used to being places without us. The Y’s solution? To tell us to tell our son to stay in the room. We are apparently supposed to ask a toddler to mind each time he’s there because the staff cannot watch him or address the door issues that enabled him to get out in the first place? Aren’t we supposed to be the parents that are working out while he’s there? Do they understand the definition of «watch»? I was very unimpressed.
2. There’s a TV in the toddler room. Very inappropriate and we do not allow our toddlers to sit in front of a TV for 1 – 2 hours at a time. When I brought this issue up with a Y manager her response was «maybe the Y isn’t for you». Wait… and it somehow is for those that are ok with their kids being plunked down in front of a TV? Where’s the being accommodating for all families and the sense of community talk that they stressed over and over in orientation? I’m not seeing it. I brought the issues up with the Child Watch manager. No response. It’s been ignored. I brought it up with leadership… again, no response. We discussed it on the Facebook page for the Y and some good suggestions were brought up — that post was deleted as being «not the right forum». Note that they didn’t discuss what was the right forum or actually deal with the issues.
I’m giving the Y until the end of the month to take any level of professionalism before I drop membership. I really want to love the Y. It’s close to our house. It has everything we’d want at a reasonable price. The hours are great. I just cannot leave my children with people that can’t actually watch them or have them plunked down in front of the TV the entire time. So the kids that go there will get the idea of «I’m going to the Y to watch TV» and not «I’m going to the Y to climb or play or… um, anything physical?» How ironic and frustrating.
I’d probably be less outraged if I didn’t get the impression they were actively blowing me off for having any criticism. It very much feels like «the Y or the highway» in their tone and approach so far. I’m giving them until the end of the month to learn anything about basic levels of customer service before I ditch them. Our children are members of a community too and deserve better than sub-​par treatment.

This is by far the best YMCA I’ve seen! The pool area is great and the huge water slide is a lot of fun for kids. There is a baby pool that starts at 0″ and gradually deepens to 1′. The family pool is 3’6″ at the shallowest.
I love the free child watch area that includes climbing, tunnels, indoor playground as well as toys and TV/​video games. They also have a separate room for babies. I’ve been pleased with the employees each time my children have been left in their care.
The gym is very well maintained and workers constantly walk around spraying down machines, even though users are required to wipe them down after use. The locker rooms are nice and include private changing areas, several private showers, hair dryers and a sauna. They have a family changing room that is nice as well.
The price is a little high, but I think it is worth it for access to all the free classes, pool access and child care. The only extras that are not included are lesson-​type classes. Karate, swimming, personal training are all classes that require a fee. Members receive a discount.
