About
Family-friendly YMCA housing a gym with a sauna, a basketball court and a pool.
The main indoor pool at the Kern Center, featuring six 25-yard lap lanes, is consistently maintained at a comfortable temperature of 82-84 degrees Fahrenheit. A separate shallow-water area is also available for younger swimmers.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? The reviews present a mixed perspective on the facility. Positive feedback frequently highlights the cleanliness of the place, its suitability for workouts, exercise, and swimming, and a generally welcoming environment with helpful staff. Some users also appreciate its family-friendly nature and special payment programs. However, significant negative concerns are raised regarding high membership fees, particularly for single adults, with some perceiving age-based discrimination. There are also complaints about reduced operating hours and serious safety issues, including a lack of adequate supervision during events (leading to children being injured in the pool), and staff mishandling closing procedures, creating dangerous conditions. Furthermore, several reviews detail poor customer service and incident resolution, with staff and management being described as unhelpful, dismissive, and confrontational when addressing serious incidents like theft and altercations, leaving patrons feeling unsafe and unheard.

This is a very nice and clean place to Work out/Exercise and Swim. A nice place for the whole Family. They even have special programs that will help with monthly payments. I highly recommend this place.Me and the Family really enjoy ourselves.

I enjoyed one of the previous responses that complained about the membership going up especially the last few yrs. Paying 40 would be a dream. Imagine being a family of one att my age I'm paying more than 50 a month. Although I wish I had a family to workout with I don't. The penalty for the family of one is paying the most per person. I am surprised someone hasn't filed suit about age discrimination. Also if I'm reading right a person who has a kid at age of 12 pays a cheaper per person rate until they turn 29 and their kid turns 17. Plus this yr the y took away two hrs on Sunday and one more hr at night. I feel terrible for all the members that had a late Sunday routine or from 9-10 at night. However the one benefit of those hrs is I don't have to listen to the arguments that are constantly coming from the gym. Also if you are there at night when the staff tries to close the gym, they can't. Their solution is just turning off the lights while the arguing and basketball continues in the dark. So next I'll be paying an even higher price when someone gets hurt playing in the dark after not being discipline enough to follow staffs directions.

A Girl Scout event at the YMCA Fun Day, it seems like the leaders and parents weren't keeping a close eye on the kids in the pool. Some parents sit on the other side of the window talking to each other while the leaders aren't paying attention. Then the volunteers on the side with lifeguards don't seem to care that a boy was throwing pool rings and some other hard toy at kids and at the wall. When he did this, one kid was hit in the face she started to cry. My daughter was about to jump in and she was hit in the stomach. No one told this kid to knock it off and their parents were nowhere to be found. All they cared about was kids jumping in backwards and life jackets. No one should have to deal with tagalongs or other Girl Scouts throwing stuff at people. It's ridiculous.

Hi I am trying to receive any information that I can! My son had an incident at this location and someone stole his basketball out of his backpack!! While there was an argument and altercation the women who were on shift decided to tell my son They have nothing to do with it!! There were a total of 5 young men!! I proceeded to go to the Y and speak with the workers she told me her side and stated that she would email the Director! The Executive director Jenna called me at 2pm right before she was about to leave out of the door! She said nothing was seen because that side of the gym was not in camera view she proceeded to yell and scream on the phone out of frustration of me asking about safety and the concern of citizens when they visit the location! She stated that I twisted her words and she would not listen to me at all!! She told me that I should have called the police and she has no indication that there was an incident although the email stated the incident from last night! This altercation started in the gym and proceeded in front of staff(women) and outside! Please if anyone can provide me with information about who I can speak to regarding thus situation! They should not feel unsafe and unheard in any environment! This is bigger than a basketball being stolen
