YMCA

Front desk is unprofessional, & unwelcoming!!!

This was my favorite gym. No dought.
I was a regular, for a reason. It feels like going to church… let me explain.
Have you ever gone to those «American Fitness» style gyms? Where the attitude is more «club» than «gym». Where people go to «see and be seen». Where the ladies wear short cut tops, with tight fitting short cut pant, with make-​up? To workout and males remind you of their jock days from high school? Well there is none of that attitude here.
It caters to all ages of all ranges of fitness. They offer kids classes (child care while visiting to swimming lessons) to senior fitness classes (Sliver Sneakers). Everyone is welcome with no discrimination.
And what is more motivating for a younger person, than seeing an 80-​year old on the treadmill next you? Thoughts like darm, good for them?! If they are able to put in the time, you can too. And obviously, if they are in great shape and getting workout at their age, its going to be easy for me to get a good workout so I can not fall apart at thirty five. Possibly live as long as them too!
They offer a wide variety of drop-​in classes for little to no charge, including über-​popular kick-​boxing, Boot Camp drills, yoga, pilates, belly dance, etc. A fantastic cardio room with treadmills that have some large LCD TV screens on the walls in front. You should never have to wait for more 5 minutes for a machine.
The Women’s Locker room (I have never been in there) but told it is truly euphoric. Whirlpool, steam room, sauna… all the amenities.
And like going to church, you put in your time; you become enlightened, you feel more connected with your body, and leave feeling accomplished and ready to face the world with a better attitude.
