What are people saying (AI review summary)? Overall, the YMCA receives positive feedback, often being described as the 'best Y in the area' with good vibes. Members appreciate the large gym, excellent walking track, huge cardio room, and great sauna/steam room. The equipment and environment are generally well-regarded, and the daycare service is a plus for parents. Many value the strong sense of community, especially during morning hours, where friends, neighbors, and family gather. However, there are significant concerns regarding staff behavior, specifically an overly strict or 'attacking' lifeguard during swim lessons that made one experience feel very personal. Additionally, there are calls for better monitoring of the women's locker room due to concerns about potential theft.

Took my daughter for a swim and the life guard was, what I felt like attacking us. Because swim lessons were going on. If you even put your feet on the side that is designated for swim lessons you get yelled at. Everything we did we were told we cant do that. It felt very personal.

It's the best Y in the area. Good vibes and large gym. Walking track is excellent. Cardio room is huge and also has more weight machines. Sauna and steam room are great for post workout.

It was nice! I enjoyed myself and felt the burn. Daycare is nice as well. My daughter had a ball coloring and playing. Nice equipment and environment! I went between 10-noon, not sure about mid-day and nights. Will definitely come back!😍

They need to monitor the womens locker room better because people will literally steal out of your purse if you set it down for two seconds
