What are people saying (AI review summary)? The reviews present a mixed view of the facility, with significant concerns regarding cleanliness heavily outweighing positive remarks about amenities and staff. Multiple patrons describe the facility as "disgusting" and "the dirtiest YMCA ever," citing issues such as flying insects and horrible smells in the locker rooms, sand in the pool, persistent stains and hairs in showers and steam rooms, broken bathroom stalls (some for over a year), and general neglect like dust and trash in workout areas. Reviewers attribute this to short-staffing for cleaning, a lack of thorough cleaning practices, and inadequate maintenance, suggesting the facility be shut down for cleaning, staff be retrained, or a professional cleaning crew be hired. Some express frustration that the facility's condition is tolerated, particularly given its location, and note a desire for owner responses to negative feedback. Despite these serious cleanliness issues, positive aspects mentioned include a friendly atmosphere and helpful staff (with a specific shout-out to "big Dee"), making it feel welcoming for members of all ages, especially seniors. The facility is also praised for its "awesome indoor waterpark," featuring a large hot tub, lazy river, whirlpool, and lap swimming options, and its safe location. One review notes that the facility was recently impacted by a tornado and is currently being used as a staging ground for local clean-up efforts.

Today was my first time using this facility. It was disgusting! the locker room is infested with flying insects and smells horrible. I got into the indoor pool and stepped in what felt like a pile of sand. I cant help but to feel like the surrounding neighborhood is the reason this facility is being neglected the way it is. I don't understand how the YMCA expects the people of that community to pay their hard earned money to use a facility that has been neglected the way it has. This place needs to be shutdown until the necessary cleaning is complete. Staff also needs to be retrained and held accountable for the lack of cleanliness and care this facility is receiving.

This is the Dirtiest YMCA I have ever been to! They have great amenities, friendly staff but they need to do a better job of keeping their facility clean! The locker rooms are atrocious!! The same stains, and hairs are in the same place they were the week before, which let’s me know they didn’t clean the showers, which I refuse to use because their disgusting….. some bathroom stalls are out of order and have been like that for at least a year or more! The Steam room is the same with hairs in the exact same place as it was a week before. And they are always short staffed when it comes to cleaning…. “trust me it shows”,…..can’t they reach out to corporate and hire a cleaning crew to help out? or the ones that do clean have them do a more thorough job of cleaning, like actually scrubbing down each shower thoroughly with bleach and soap….. it’s so frustrating because this ymca is located in a predominantly black area and it’s always filthy, why? …. And shouldn’t it be clean for sanitary purposes? And can we get the shower heads and handles fixed in the showers? It’s as if they’re ok with these conditions because it’s always like this. And the workout area has so many dust bunnies and trash along its boarders of the space ….it’s as if no one at all cleans the area!!!! And can we please stop allowing people to bring their radios inside the steam room, it’s distracting and disruptive. It’s a great ymca with all the amenities if only they would keep it clean and disinfectant it could be a more enjoyable environment to workout in. I would really like to hear a response to this review because I noticed the owner only responds to good reviews and not the bad ones on this site.

I recently became a member and I must say I absolutely love it here. There is a very friendly atmosphere and the staff is so friendly and helpful especially big Dee !! I’m a senior and I feel very welcome here and there are people of all ages. But if you are a senior or you know someone that is a senior, please bring them and have them join, help them enroll so that they can get fit and healthy. There is so much to do!! Make it a family affair😊

They got hit hard by the Tornado that hit St Louis. Being used right now as a staging ground for clean up efforts by ACT STL.
