Theresa, was incredibly confrontational and rude, literally had just walked into the pool area with my little brother and sat down, we were trying to make sure his mask and flippers fit because we’re going to florida next week, and she stormed up to us and said β€œYOU can wear that, HE cannot. We do NOT allow that here.” My dad politely tried to explain that we were literally just trying to check to make sure the mask didn’t leak and that his flippers fit his feet, she cut him off before he could barely get a word in, saying she runs the place and she does not allow that here. I’m not trying to say that she had to make an exception I don’t mind that at all, it was her approach to it that made the whole situation incredibly uncomfortable. We will never come back. Idk what kind of power trip she was on but yikes.

Weight room is old and small. Any of the new parts of this facility goes to childcare instead of fitness. And you can’t access the gym doing childcare hours Childcare is taking over that area of the gym, including some racquetball courts

I’m happy to have a place to work out while my son plays. But this place needs cleaned! Dust and dead flies, broken hand soap dispensers are replaced with huge bottles of duct taped hand soap. Missing wall paint, rusted equipment… what’s going on here?

I like the staff, the clientele is respectful, and the pool is great. Seemingly great for kids too. But I miss the newer equipment and attention to room details they had at the--now closed--downtown YMCA. The strength training room itself, and much of the equipment in it, seems like it's an afterthought at this particular Y. This one could be great if given the attention the downtown Y received.

The preschool here is amazing. It is run like a school, not a daycare. The teachers are great and care a lot about the kids. They focus on getting the kids outside as much as the weather allows them to. My child has grown so much at the preschool and also at swimming lessons. The prices are also very affordable for both preschool and swimming lessons. I highly recommend the programs here!

The staff here is wonderful. They're caring and polite and of course very knowledgeable. The problem we had is the fact that the building in and around the pool is so freezing cold it's intolerable in the winter. I mean I understand saving a penny on heat but that's ridiculous....it's too cold in the pool room. The locker rooms are relatively unclean. My wife needed more exercise classes and they don't offer much In the way of water exercise classes.

Sadly the Y never emailed its members of their plans or it seems in this case lack of plans as they closed down during COVID-19 . They continued to deduct payments for membership with no benefits and no explanation. I know that at least some of their staff were furloughed maybe all? and so there were no virtual stretching classes or yoga or any offerings to their paying members. Couldn’t the Y have applied to the federal program PPP for their staffs salaries and they offered virtual classes? I’m very disappointed in our Y given what the foundation is suppose to represent.

I been going here for years. Although may not be the best facilitated YMCA when it comes to equipment or amenities. It is the best YMCA to meet people and know them. Most members are friendly regardless of who you are.

I have used the Parkwood Y for many years. Lately i have been concerned about routine maintenance. Broken locker doors are not repaired for months. A soap dispenser has to be replaced. It’s been months and is supposedly ordered. Lightbulbs burn out and are not replaced. Is the building just going to be allowed to deteriorate?

Honest review of Parkwood YMCA: My husband and I became members in March of 2019 and just recently canceled our membership in June of 2019. Overall we had a good experience here. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. I liked how they offer many different exercise classes. We tried both yoga and spin classes for a month and really enjoyed them. Our instructors were fantastic. My two suggestions for improvement would be more attention to cleanliness of the locker rooms/showers and more ventilation in the weight room in particular. I know this a busy gym, and its not going to smell like roses, but there were several times the weight room and surrounding halls smelled so terrible, we had to leave. (Like sewage back-up terrible.) I also understand that the locker room gets a lot of foot traffic, but the floors and lockers were always littered with gobs of hair and debris. Ultimately, we left because of the cost. $80 a month is a lot of money for us right now, and we also had to pay extra fees for the classes, which were not included with the membership. Considering we only used the cardio and weight room and no other services, it was not worth the cost for us. We decided we could still get a quality workout at home for free and canceled our membership.

Small area to try to swim, mostly had laps used by older folks. Then 20 people trying to share a very small side of the pool. We called ahead & they said we could pay $20. for a family day pass. We got there and the attendant said they were closing at noon~! (Very was misleading) Not even the worst part, I went ahead & paid thinking we had 90 mins. Oh no the pool closes early, we only had 60 mins & you are forced to shower 1st before going in, so more like 45 mins by the time you got out of the nightmare dressing rooms. They were filled with naked people everywhere. The showers were wide open no curtains or stalls. People naked standing in the public area dressing or undressing. My grandchildren were horrified. We showered with suits on, but tried to get out of there as fast as possible the showers were one after another of naked people. And you have to pass them again after you have your swimsuit on to get to the pool. Like it is military or a sports team locker room. Not family atmosphere at all to me! Scarred for life~!

We're actually not Y members, but we take advantage of the swimming lessons and the summer camp for our 7 year old.

I have to say, my daughter has taken a lot of swimming lessons and she's never had a teacher as great as Allie at the Parkwood location! My daughter has always been a very nervous swimmer, but Allie has supported her in trying the things she has always wanted to do, but was too scared to attempt. Can't recommend her enough.

Also, my daughter had a blast at the Pawapi camp and she's all signed up for another few weeks there this summer. This Y is a great community resource!

I love the fact that they do keep the kids busy. They do more field trips than any other camps I know. I would like to see more hands on as for gardening and more physical high energy activities in the daily planning. 2018 update. This year the Y added physical activity to the kids program. I am very happy to know they listened and that goes a long way in the community. My son told me that they go running. I know he doesn't like it but he loves the new numbers on the scale. Thanks to the Farmington Y!!!

Classic Y. It has different gym rooms with a lot of activities. Usually I go to swimming pool there since it is not a lot of people in the afternoon.. you can rent a towel and use sauna.. but area could be cleaner and some of the showers don't work.

I love this place. The swimming pool is kept to around 85 F. I recommend goggles since the water is salty. The Y is smaller than the planet fitness, but provides excellent resources to get into shape as well as having tot watch so my daughter can be cared for as I do the different fitness classes.

My children received scholarships and a discounted camp rate for 2 weeks of Camp Pa-Wa-Pi this year. When I called a month in advance to cancel, because of an employment opportunity, they refused to refund me the $40/child/week that I paid.
I gave ample time for them to find new campers to give the scholarships to, and to receive a refund, but they still refuse. Their Christian values apparently don't extend to giving money back to parents that are trying to better their lives by working.
