Just enjoyed the parking lot for a meet-up. The lines weren't as straight as i would have liked but it was clean from debris and trash.

The facility is very nice. The only reason why I am putting 2 stars is the lady that closes out most nights is extremely rude and will interrupt your workout. She will use the intercom every 5 minutes till closing and is usually 2-5 minutes early so she can rush people out. She is very disrespectful.

I love the Y! I love the staff and the facility and the hours of operation and the equipment. I only wish we would discontinue to use of the styrofoam cups for coffee. People can bring their own cups. Styrofoam has no place in a landfill for one stinking cup of coffee. Thanks to the Y for everything else! You've been the instrumental part of my mental health for years!

The Y offers many different opportunities to make fitness FUN! The times when classes are offered are good and the ability to join a class when it works for you without a commitment is great. The people are friendly and always there to answer a question or help. The pool and aquatic center are clean, well-kept and open for free swim most of the time. Our Y is a very welcoming, comfortable place.

I connected with Pixie from the regional sales for a preview membership she was most helpful and timely.
But the real star is Carol who is at the desk greeting and multi tasking thru her morning. She takes the time to say good morning and connect with members on the way out the door, all while be asked by fellow employees for some assistance.
The membership team should have a β€œCarol” for you can sell all day, but if the frontline staff does not deliver it goes nowhere. Carol is your number one sales person on the floor.

I am a Nationwide member and I only use the pool. The pool area is clean and appears well maintained. The staff has always been friendly and helpful. The lockers are not convenient for me. The single ones are too tall for me and the stacked ones aren't large enough for my bag and clothes. But the showers and locker area are very clean. I am grateful for this pool away from home.

One of the best monthly investments we make for our family!

I have been a member of the local YMCA since it opened and have never been disappointed. We've had birthday parties there as my daughter grew up and swim team practice. I enjoy going to the gym as there are so many different aerobic machines to choose from. Watching TV while working out is a nice distraction.

Great facility! Always neat and clean. Every staff member I've come in contact with has been friendly and helpful. I haven't spent much time in the main gym so I cannot comment on that but the group classes have been amazing. Instructors are always very motivating. I think the thing I appreciate most is when the instructor watches your form while exercising because I'm there to get healthier, not injured! To anyone thinking about trying a group class, I encourage you to try it! I haven't found anyone yet that is there to look cute or impress others. Everyone I come in contact with is there to work hard. We leave hot, sweaty messes! For my first time trying classes, I got there a little early and introduced myself to the instructor and told her I was new. Each time she explained right off that I should do what I could and not to try to keep up with her or anyone else. The instructor or another class member always helped me get the needed equipment from the supply room so I didn't have to hunt around trying to figure things out. After just a few weeks, you start seeing familiar faces and feeling like part of a group. Just an all around great atmosphere.

The Monroe County YMCA is a terrific place! I really enjoyed the exercise classes.There is something for everyone from Aerobics to Zumba. They are a great way to work out in a group setting. The instructors are motivating and they help everyone to individualize their workout to be challenging but fun, too! Everyone is welcoming, from the staff who greet you at the front desk to the maintenance workers. It's a wonderful place to meet your friends and to make new friends. Everyone should join the Y!

The Monroe County Y has much to offer, for singles, couples and of course families. The gym facilities are first rate along with the personal trainers available. Also, the pool is available year round and then there are the exercise classes you can take should you so desire. All in all there's something for everyone at the Y.

She takes the time to answer questions, teaches me proper techniques to avoid injuries, and consistently pushes me to be my best self. In addition, she jokes around with me and keeps the energy high during our training sessions. I look forward to our sessions each week and am so excited to see my own progress continue to grow.

The Y has become a very significant and important part of my life. I have been a member for several years now but was always a bit reluctant and somewhat lazy about regular attendance. The facility is top notch so I could not use that as my excuse not to come routinely. However I made a very good decision several months ago and hired a trainer (Angie McCallister) that I meet with normally once a week. She is a superb trainer and has instilled in me the will power to work hard to improve my physical strength and ultimately my health. Five star rating for th Y and the same for my trainer.

I am so happy that I joined the YMCA. I’m there almost daily. I have a trainer, Angie. She like the entire staff at the YMCA are absolutely fantastic.
I am so dedicated and committed to getting in shape. And Angie is helping with that tremendously. She is so knowledgeable in her duties there. I have even asked the other trainer Dave for advice and he is quick to advise. I’ve met another trainer, Easton, who is still educating himself to be your next trainer. Like I previously stated, the entire staff is fantastic. I’m trying to get a buddy of mine to train with me as well as 2 of my sons. I highly recommend people that I encounter to give the YMCA a chance to show them how much I love it. I tell them about how I worked out and walked daily to give me success in losing 50 pounds. Angie will help me achieve my goals, she’s so patient and kind. I want to learn Yoga and some of the other perks that the YMCA offers.

I'm quite upset with this location. This has nothing to do with the quality of the amenities available. I forgot my sunglasses which were not cheap at the coaches and players area in the gym on Saturday. I had another engagement I needed to attend and couldn't be any later than what we were already going to be. I called and asked 10 minutes after I left if someone could go and look for them and grab them so I knew they would be there when I arrived which would have taken me an hour to do. I spoke with the front desk and all they said was, "well if someone turns them in we will put them in lost and found." I knew they would be there and asked for a little compassion and they didn't care to get up and get them so I would know that I wouldn' be wasting my trip for nothing. I called the next day and no one turned them in..thanks for showing me what your Christian kindness looks like.

It's great that we have a local gym with, some great family programs. But unfortunately it was built quite under sized for the area. Everything is nice, but rather crowded. Not enough free weights for more than 4 or 5 people at a time. But 30+ ellipticals... Pool is nice but small. Elevated running track is short as expected given the size of everything else (13 laps to a mile). Basketball court is in great shape, but is always taken by other programs. All in all this is not my ideal gym or YMCA, but there are great people that work there, everything is always clean and it's convenient to Columbia and Waterloo.
