About

Community hub offering fitness classes, a pool, and an indoor track, as well as youth programs.

While specific pool temperatures for the Emerson YMCA are not always publicly detailed, YMCAs generally maintain their main recreational and lap pools within a comfortable range of 80-84°F (26-29°C) for various activities. Specialized pools, if available (e.g., for therapy or young children), might be kept at slightly warmer temperatures, typically between 86-90°F (30-32°C).

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The facility receives strong praise from many members, especially seniors, who find it beneficial for staying active and youthful, highlighting engaging classes taught by instructors like Nessa and 84-year-old Mz. Billie. Members appreciate the welcoming atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff who offer personalized greetings, and programs like Silver Sneakers, with a large space and an upstairs track. However, a severe negative review details a car break-in and significant theft on the premises while a security guard was absent. This incident was followed by police blaming the victim and the member's subsequent ban from the facility without discussion or apology, leading to a strong recommendation to avoid the place due to security and management concerns.

As a SENIOR this place is a GOD send to keep me moving and youthful❣️ Nessa is awesome she teaches several different classes. Mz. Billie, age 84, had this active 65 year old sweating as I worked through her aerobics class. I must say I love it. Thank you ladies for allowing newbies to fit in & not pointed out on my missteps🤩

This place is HUGE! It's deceptive from out front. The layout is not intuitive so ask where things are, but it seems to have everything.

My car was broken into while their security guard ran to McDonald’s. Well over $1,000 worth of electronics were stolen. Called the police who blamed me for a car that was stolen from here a week prior. Had my membership banned without speaking to the manager or police about the incident. Never saw my stuff again. Never received an apology. This place is a joke. Avoid it like the plague.
