About

Nonprofit since 1896 offering programs and services for all ages, plus a pool, basketball courts, and track.

The Jackson YMCA features two distinct pools: the Lap Pool is maintained at a temperature of 80-82°F (26.7-27.8°C), while the Warm Water Pool, often used for therapy, is kept warmer at 88-90°F (31.1-32.2°C).

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The renovated YMCA facility is widely praised for its modern appearance, cleanliness, and new workout equipment. The staff consistently receives high marks for being friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and attentive, fostering a welcoming and family-friendly atmosphere that many describe as a 'second home' and a source of holistic nourishment. Members appreciate the variety of classes and programs, including swim lessons and summer camps. However, there are significant concerns regarding weekend and after-hours access. Many members desire extended weekend hours, especially Sunday openings, and more comprehensive access (including locker rooms, pools, and saunas) during paid after-hours, as current access is often limited solely to workout equipment. A specific suggestion was made to prevent open swim from occurring simultaneously with children's swim classes, citing distractions and limited space.

Renovations look great, staff is friendly. You can pay a small upcharge for after hour access to the workout area as well as the summit location. My only suggestion is opening the locker room for after hours. Summit only has one shower and is a further drive for me, but my after hour preference is driving out there so I dont drive home drenched in sweat. Overall great! 😀

The YMCA is like my second home!!! I go there for physical, mental, and spiritual nourishment! I get positive encouragement from my dear friends, extended family, and Y staff. The staff are Always warm and friendly. The moment we walk in the door the kind, helpful staff greet us with smiles and salutations! The fitness center staff are knowledgeable and attentive to my family's needs. The aquatics staff keep a constant eye on EVERYTHING going on in the pool area. We don't have to worry about our children the staff are our second set of eyes. The YMCA is the perfect place to get families fit and healthy in a safe, friendly environment. We love Our YMCA family!!!♥️

The updated facility is gorgeous. The weekend hours are not the greatest. Unlike other YMCA locations openly accessible to the community 7 days per week this one is closed Sunday. You can pay extra though for weekend side entrance access but you can only access the workout equipment area. No lockers, saunas, pool, etc. It's challenging trying to squeeze in gym time during your busy work week. Please open up with more access on the weekends.

I’ve had my child attend the swimming classes and summer camp for the past 3 years and will continue to love the Y! I’m deducting a star due to open swim should not be going on while swimming classes are going on. It’s a distraction to the kids and there is already limited seating, so it’s frustrating when open swim people are placing their stuff on the benches.

What a great Christian family friendly place. Freshly renovated, clean, new workout equipment, employees all very friendly, and a list of classes for everyone and all physical capabilities.
