They really need to update their hours if on Sundays-they really arent open at 7. This is the second time I've been here at opening at 7 (Sunday this is open 7am to 3pm) and NO ONE is here. Also, the womens bathrooms are really gross and the toilets are always clogged

I have joined the YMCA as a member to help better my health. As a woman of age, I need a place that has classes that work for me getting back into fitness. I feel very comfortable there and they have a fantastic gym! My grandchild attends the pre-school program, and she is so happy, and so are we as her family! The level of instruction she receives give me a Montessori-vibe. Empowering little ones to thrive! Clean facility and wonderful staff.

Do not bring your kids here. I am absolutely appalled at the level of negligence and incompetence with this organization. Extremely disorganized. No consistency or routine. They do not have cameras that work. Staff has minimal training no breaks. I feel sorry for the children who have attended the summer program here or before and after school care. I feel sorry for the employees. I am shocked that an organization like this could like this. They leave gates unlocked that lead to the parking lot . When I brought that up to Andrea Taylor, she said it was due to “fire safety”. In every daycare or school I have worked or been a parent of enrolled children at I have never encountered such a negligent practice. (There is such a thing as keys) They are using inappropriate facilities and rooms for children that are not safe. They advertise breakfast and lunch but if you are thinking of enrolling your child here, ask to look at the type of food they call “breakfast” and “lunch”. A yogurt cup and a granola bar is not breakfast for kids who are here from 6:30am to lunch which starts at 11:30. Incidents are constantly happening with the children . Which is not surprising due to the extreme level of incompetence from upper management as well as negligence. With the lack of training and terrible working conditions for the staff. Absence of routine, consistency, and lack of planning organization . This is not a summer camp . It’s extremely low-quality daycare . There are no expectations set for the children no rules . It seems they just tried to enroll as many kids as possible to get funding from the state without even planning anything or considering the facilities. As a parent, and educator I am shocked. I will never support the YMCA again or enroll myself or my children in any of the programs.

Came and made a payment yesterday, when I returned the next day I was told my account wasn’t active and that the payment I made was for last year cancellation for September 2022. I was told by supervisor Angelica there was nothing they could do but submit a ticket to refund my money. I came in today to make another payment to reactivate my account. I was told I would pay $21 a month because the pricing has gone up. After my workout I was stopped in told because I recently had a birthday that I would need to pay $41 a month. I told them to close my account, my whole point of choosing the YMCA was because low cost. Now I have a Planet Fitness PF black account for $24 a month. Customer service here is very poor and the girl who I spoke to seemed to have an attitude.
