Holly Pond School

We love the ymca for many activities. First off as an overall gym membership- the two gym areas helps it never feel crowded. Cody and Chris in the fitness center are especially friendly and welcoming! Open gym is fab for toddlers and we will start tumble bees soon. We love Rhonda and her partner in open gym she engages with the kids. Barbie is amazing in the daycare center. She has watched my girls from 1-3 years old. The room is clean and has great toys. Lastly family swim is a great time to swim with our kids because we aren’t in lessons yet. Highly recommend a ymca family membership for all of the above!

One thing to keep in mind is that kids are allowed in the women’s locker room- I don’t think there is a family locker room. -Yesterday at around six a child was literally screaming while she showered- she was playing a screaming game with her friend. I politely asked from my shower stall two times for the mother to control her daughter- she did not at all and no one is monitoring the locker rooms. The kid was like eight - I had pictured that she would be a five or four year old as I listened to the screaming game while I was showering. -The other day (Sunday night?) a teenager (15 years old) was there at night and started burning her hair in the sauna- on purpose. When I started coughing (I have asthma) and expressed distress about the carcinogens she got hostile with me so I left the sauna. There didn’t seem a point in alerting the front desk that there is a girl burning her hair for some unknown, experimental reason in the sauna. Also I did burn my hand in the steam room and will have a nice scar there. Be careful! They do stay open late though and supply towels.

My son is taking swimming classes and we can see his improvement comparing to other places he went to. We really like it

This YMCA is very nice. The child swim lessons are alot of fun, great instructors. The place has a new updated feel. The locker room did not make it in to the update. Very friendly staff alway greeted with a smile. The entrance can sneak up on you when driving, the sign is very small. Once there the parking is very easy.

We have a family membership and enjoy it. However, The YMCA needs to do a better job with the women’s locker room: so many tweens and women with small kids come in even though it’s for 18 and older. Many of the tweens use the steam room and sauna which could create risk for ymca if someone got hurt. I want a kid free space where I can change in peace and I constantly feel like my privacy is compromised. The tweens are often scrolling on their phones or lounging around in the waiting area and they take up locker space. Ive also seen a number of people not wiping down the exercise machines. They need to implement better strategies to make it comfortable for everyone. There are no consequences for those that break the rules which is why it continues to happen. They can updated the signage but until then implement consequences it will likely continue.
