I just want to commend the front desk staff. Every time I have to call about a registration issue with my kids' soccer or gymnastics programs (which have been plenty over the years, all of my own doing), the guys I speak to are polite, friendly and able to do exactly what I need right away. Always a pleasure to deal with them!

I absolutely love this place, they have 2 soccer fields, daycare, an amazing weights room, rec rooms, they have everything, I go there to practice basketball mostly every day and they are always so nice and the court is overly amazing, when we first signed up they had to deal with my dad making the worse jokes and they didn’t make a fuss about anything they were super friendly

I am writing to express my frustration and disappointment regarding the consistent reservation of the basketball court for archery and pickleball activities at the YMCA. As a person who plays basketball daily, it's disheartening to see the primary purpose of the court being sidelined for other activities. With the downtown YMCA's closure, this facility now stands as the only YMCA in the area offering a basketball court. It feels unjust to have limited access to a dedicated basketball space due to continuous reservations for different sports. I urge the management to reconsider the scheduling to ensure fair and adequate access for people who plays basketball regularly like myself.

The ninja program is a complete waste of time and money. While the concept is great, the program is poorly run and fails to deliver on anything it advertises.

The “obstacle course” consists entirely of equipment available at most public parks with the addition of a cargo net.

The “strength and cardio programs” are disorganized low intensity workouts teaching bad habits on every single exercise.

The program teaches do discernible skills, and contributes nothing for fitness that cannot be gained by playing outside.

Great facility and awesome staff. There’s a lot of equipment to use, lots of space to work with. Everyone is friendly and willing to help/teach as well as an extremely supportive community.

I called to inquire about registration for the summer youth baseball camp. I spoke with Brandon on the phone and he was beyond helpful. He walked me through the registration process for non-members and confirmed I completed registration for my family successfully. Thank you Brandon for your excellent customer service and thank you to the YMCA for offering such great summer programs.

The establishment is well kept and is a great facility. The gym has new equipment and and is the facility is kept clean. Awesome indoor soccer turf fields. However I was asked to leave on multiple occasions by several workers/volunteers for not having enough money to enter the building. I was even approached in the locker room. Even though I’m a good person and chose a career in health and wellness and help people like perceptional learning or through conversations. I never have asked for any type of payment for being a good role model. It confuses me that a gym would continually pester me over 1 dollar to the point of letting a good person leave. Insane to think a Christian organization cares more about money than people.

My child was treated poorly in ninja warriors class. It’s taught by teenagers that do not know how to take care of children or take care of certain situations appropriately. The matter was brought up to the head person and she still has not contacted my husband or I due to the matter. We will be contacting again and conducting a meeting. I am very disappointed in the way these people handle children especially when I’m sitting there watching the entire situation and not be told once of what was occurring. My visual of my child was I’m not being watched and not allowing him to participate. He is only 4 years old.

Gross facilities. Run by college kids. Zero respect for adults. Seriously, its 100% ok to enforce the posted rules! Kids are allowed to kick soccer balls everywhere outside of the indoor fields. It has endangered me and other pregnant friends a few times. Even after reporting issues numerous times, nothing is being enforced.
It's an old facility that needs a major uplift.

Excellent fitness facility. Racquetball, soccer and basketball in addition to a full gym. Good hours. Very busy in the evening hours with sports activities. Downside to that is parking and over use of bathrooms which are open to the public.

I am completely satisfied with my results that I have received since going to the Y to work out and get back into a healthy lifestyle. The facility overall is certainly very clean and inviting. I would highly suggest going here and learning what it is all about.

I've been coming here for a couple of years now and I've always loved it. It has everything I'm looking for in a gym and more. The fact that my family comes here too is bonus points.
