About

It offers a wide range of facilities and programs including a large fitness center, group exercise studios, indoor and outdoor pools, sports fields, a climbing wall, and childcare services. The YMCA focuses on youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility, serving as a hub for community engagement for all ages.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The reviews highlight a mixed experience across different YMCA facilities and programs. The YMCA Child Watch and associated programs (Mother's Day Out, Kids Night Out) are overwhelmingly praised as a 'blessing' for families, providing exceptional, loving, and patient care for children, creating a supportive 'village' for parents. The staff in these programs are commended for their consistency and thoughtful approach. Additionally, one gym is noted for its great community, and a path near a YMCA is described as a nice nature trail with a stream and waterfall. However, significant criticisms emerge regarding specific aspects: one gym's experience is negatively impacted by a particular coach described as harsh, unprofessional, and unfairly targeting members; referees at Twin Lakes are accused of biased officiating, favoring home teams; and pool facilities at another location face issues with unsupervised children disrupting adult therapy and lap swimming, despite designated children's pools, leading to frustration and potential membership cancellations due to lack of lifeguard enforcement.

Twin Lakes referees here don’t make fair play calls and don’t call out fouls, they favor their home teams and look out for all the players as a whole. The ref with the glasses especially.

I really liked this location but am finding that I’m constantly pushed out of the pool (lap pool, therapy pool) by kids whose parents don’t mind their children and follow the rules. The therapy pool has a sign that it’s not for kids over four (4 and under can be with their parents) but the pool gets a lot of children splashing the elderly who are trying to do their therapy exercises and the life guards don’t say anything. The kids have an outdoor pool, a shallow pool, a slide pool, and often take the lane in the lap pool. I don’t understand why parents allow them them to also overtake the therapy pool. The pools are also often closed due to classes. Really I only joined for the pool and don’t see a benefit in continuing my membership if I can’t ever enjoy it.

It’s a great gym and all and the community of people is really great and i’ve met a lot of people there. It’s just this one coach (coach pleasant) who has been making the experience less enjoyable. Hes too busy with women to focus on your needs and is way too harsh. I brought my girlfriend here the other month and coach pleasant got all in her face for not wearing shoes while doing a workout (something that could’ve easily been resolved with nicer approach) has kicked my friends out for having energy drinks etc. I try to always follow the rules but whatever i do it seems he always has a bone to pick with people.

The YMCA Child Watch has been such a blessing for our family. When we moved here with no local support and had our first baby just before COVID, we were overwhelmed and isolated. The Y quickly became our village. My oldest was very shy and had a hard time with drop-offs at first—but the staff were so patient, kind, and consistent. It gave me peace of mind knowing he was in good hands, and it helped me feel more confident as a first-time mom. Since then, I’ve brought all three of my kids to Child Watch—from toddler to infant—and every single one has been cared for with so much love and understanding. My second son bonded quickly with the staff, and they were even thoughtful about letting him and his older brother play together despite the age gap. Our baby girl started going at just six months old (and is much fussier than her brothers!), but the staff have done a wonderful job comforting and caring for her. We’ve also loved the Mother’s Day Out program—it’s play-based, which is exactly what I wanted for them at this stage. They’ve had so much fun just being kids, socializing, and learning in a relaxed, joyful environment. The Kids Night Out events are another favorite—our boys always have a blast, and we get a little time to ourselves knowing they’re in safe, capable hands. Every staff member has made us feel supported, especially in moments when our kids got hurt or had a tough day. With our oldest starting kindergarten soon, it’s bittersweet to see him outgrowing this place—but I’m grateful I get to start the journey all over again with our youngest. We truly can’t thank the YMCA staff enough!

Nice path with stream and waterfall. The YMCA is at the trailhead and there is a playground. No water fountains along the trail so bring plenty of water.
