The aquatics program is absolutely amazing. My daughter Ryann went through months of swim lessons and did the rec swim team over the summer, and she absolutely loved it. She has always loved the water, but as her parent, I did not know how to teach her to swim. She is like a little pro swimmer now with amazing skill when she swims! The YMCA instructors are kind, patient, approachable, and most of all, FUN. Thank you for being amazing to my baby girl and instilling so much confidence in her!
I LOVE the variety of open use spaces, weights, machines, swimming, and outdoor walking for warm up.
The year round heated pool is incredible, and there's so many open swim time options.
Facilties are always so clean and organized.
One of my friends visited and we used a guest pass for her, she requested pickleball equipment to lend from the front desk and we spent two hours playing pickleball! I never played it before! It's so easy to casually do something new even when you didn't plan it in your schedule.
All the classes I have taken have excellent instructors, the facility is clean, and the desk staff is helpful.
The only thing I would like to suggest is putting up signs in the weight rooms encouraging people to master their form and increase their weight load slowly. I see so many teenage guys using weights they clearly cannot handle with really lousy form, thereby setting themselves up for an injury. They would be much better off using less weight and mastering their form.
Maybe it is time to require them to take a class before they can use the weight room. It would be better for them to learn about good weight lifting technique from a male role model.
