What Parents Say
This YMCA facility in Kimberly receives mostly positive reviews praising its cleanliness, friendly staff, and variety of programs including gymnastics, swimming, dance, and fitness classes. However, some reviewers note limitations in activities for older children and concerns about locker room maintenance.
Update* this Y is still by far the best and pleasant staff. Unfortunately lacks things to do. The 2 gym area is always closed. There is swimming but its pretty small area for open swim and if you child is over 9years old there isn't much to to. Its nice they can join me in the gym area but they are still kids just wanting to play. Hopefully they get it more kid friendly. This one out of all the fox Y is the most kid friendly too.
Hey, just gotta thank the ymca for having such joyous lifeguards who really love enforcing the rules! If the whole family wasn't in the pool, everyone would be in danger of drowning. Thank God the lifeguard enforces there to have at least their toes in the water. Without those toes. Those kids would probably die. If they are just a foot away from the pool and watching those kids play, the pool would instantly turn red, and there is no telling what coulda happened. I think there should be rules where ALL people in the family should have their waists in the pool, and even than, EVEN THAN, I fear for the safety of our children. Now when it's 2hrs later and its just open swim and not family swim. That's when you can let your guard now, and pray to God you don't need to survive another family swim. 1 star
Have both my 2 yr old daughter and 3 year old son in the gymnastics program. They put them in a tiny room with no area to view them. The instructors are nice, but the facility they use isn’t worth the price of entry. Would like to add this ymca shuts down the basketball gym for sports other than basketball. They only have one court here, so if you’re looking for a place to pay and play basketball, this isn’t the place.
Of all of the YMCAs in the area, this is far and away the worse one. Specifically, the life guards are over zealous with there ridiculous safety policy and the sheer laziness of seldom operating the water slide.
the equipment is very nice, some barbells could use a quick cleaning but other than that everything is very well taken care of. the staff is incredibly kind, and they get to know you which makes me happy. the locker rooms (women’s at least) are kept clean and in good shape. the community here is amazing, everyone is kind and you get to make some “friends” here. they have all the equipment you may need to get a good lift. they also recently added bumper plates so you’re able to do olympic lifts if you want. also- they have a pool and hot tub
