We been coming here for years. Gwen Was like family to us. The staff is doing an exceptional job at cleaning and keeping us within appropriate boundaries in these strange times but there is one woman who works there who is quite the bully. Ellen is great and many others have such a great attitude which makes this weird time feel better. Just one woman there who is rude on the phone and in person. It isn't what you say, it's how you say it. If we miss something I will happily follow rules but this one woman seems like she is looking to target people. Clearly hates her job. Bless her heart.

I have nothing but best experience with this place. Everybody there is very nice and the service is excellent. I am particularly grateful to Maggie - the Aquatic Director for making the swimming programs for kids such fun. And, of course, to the trainer - Manny. He is a miracle maker whe it comes to teaching kids! My boys love coming here to swim and we will definitely continue upcoming school year. I also highly recommend the after school program for kids. Thank you so much High Ridge YMCA team:)

Great gym and place to be! I’ve been going here since I was a little kid! The staff is super friendly as well! Especially Gwen! She’s been there since I started going and she has the nicest soul! Love this place!

I love this facility, but they keep making the sessions shorter. Its hard to finish a good workout with the new time limit. Most of the staff is friendly. There is this one lady that ALWAYS stops me for no reason to give me a hard time. I register online, im in the system, but she always halts me and asks what im doing here and what my name is and stops me from scanning my I.d. I no longer pay attention to her, just ignore her. Everyone else is very sweet.

horrible service, please do not put your kids, they only care about the e money, is not what they tell you. I was told they will have field trips every week not true, they just take them to Indian park or rogers park across the street that all, yes they do swim 3x a week but nothing especial, Greg the coordinator is really not friendly at all do not ask questions because he will tell you don't you have a calendar everything is there. front desk bad, the color lady is really not professional the first day I was asking questions she got upset I told her that i want to makes sure where im leaving my kid. Not recommended at all
