Nonprofit fitness center with a pool, sauna, and steam rooms, plus a summer program.
The Hogan Family YMCA features heated indoor pools. While specific temperatures for this location are not publicly detailed, YMCAs typically maintain lap pools at around 80-82°F (26.7-27.8°C) for comfortable swimming and training. Warmer program or therapy pools, if available, commonly range from 86-90°F (30-32.2°C) to accommodate various activities and rehabilitation.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? This YMCA generally receives very positive reviews, praised for its excellent and clean facilities, including a well-equipped gym, a large pool with slides and water features, a dry sauna, and a spacious indoor kids' playground. The childcare services are highly commended for their kind and attentive staff, screen-free approach (mostly), and dedicated areas for different age groups, along with top-notch summer camps and after-school care. Many appreciate the polite, helpful, and diverse staff, along with benefits like no contracts and military discounts, often describing the experience as 'well worth the money'. However, recurring criticisms include an unhelpful and unresponsive front desk staff, and inconvenient childcare hours which lead to significant overcrowding, making it difficult for parents to access equipment and space during peak times. There is also a expressed desire for more locations, particularly in specific outlying areas.

Great gym, provides fun for kids and adults alike! Love the pool for the summer time with kids. Stays clean and staff is polite! I love the slides for my kids and the shallow end with the different water features. Plus, no contract and military veteran discount friendly!
Great dry all-wood sauna, nice gym setup, and considerate, kind childcare workers! My son loves the big kid area. The baby area has tons of natural sunlight and fun climb-one too. They don’t show movies and let the kids just play which is what I prefer. Rarely is any music is played, so not much to worry about for parents who limit media. Sometimes cocomelon and baby shark-type videos are streaming on the desk computer of the baby area, but it seems to just be a tool to help upset little ones. Nothing excessive and mostly the babies/toddlers play screen-free too! (They do allow/encourage you to send water and snacks for your kids. Just has to be peanut-free.) I 100% recommend this YMCA and am very pleased with who takes care of my children when I come and get some “me time.”
Been coming here for years. The facility is great and there’s so much to do!! but I wish the front desk knew that their job is to not sit there and do nothing. It’s been multiple times I have needed help and they sit up there looking slow. And child care? Those hours? Paying all this money and I can only workout when literally every other parent is in the gym. Don’t like that at all. There’s never any space and equipment is always hogged. You guys can do better.
Absolutely love this YMCA! The employees there are like family. The summer camp and after school care are top notch. Also the kids gym is awesome. It’s a huge indoor playground. The pool is great and always clean. It has both indoor and outdoor but we prefer the outdoor.
Was here 6 years ago. So happy to come back.Well worth the money. Not 5 stars because I’m in Hazel Green Al. Would really like if one can be built out this way. I’m between 231/431 and Palaski Pike. Even some place on HWY 53 is closer. There still a lot of land out here. This is better facility then the one downtown Hsv. Really like the hours/days here & amenities. Clean place inside the building the parking lot is clean.The staff has always been helpful and knowledgeable all the times I been. Even when I call them great communication skills. very good job in choosing employees. I’m impressed too with the diversity of staff. That means a lot to me with the ages and the diversity of backgrounds and ages and culture and ethnicities. 👍🏾.
