What are people saying (AI review summary)? The YMCA receives mixed reviews, primarily lauded for its extensive amenities, strong community focus, and helpful staff, while often criticized for its aging facilities. Positive aspects include a wide range of fitness options like a walking path, indoor track, pool, jacuzzi, machines, weights, and various classes for all ages, along with sports like basketball and pickleball. It's praised for its community involvement, hosting veteran programs and providing numerous community spaces. Staff are generally seen as helpful, and areas are noted as clean, with good hours and ample free parking. However, many reviewers describe the building, equipment, and locker rooms as dingy, old, and gross, with some finding them 'borderline scary' and suggesting the facility needs significant renovation beyond just daycare and event rooms. There's specific criticism regarding a potentially discriminatory hiring practice for a lifeguard position and a perceived sexism in sauna access between men's and women's locker rooms. While the pool and hot tub are often cited as acceptable, some recommend alternative, newer gyms despite the YMCA's aquatic offerings. Additionally, food options are noted as healthier but not allergen-friendly, and an all-day pass costs $25, requiring a swimming test.
