Fitness center is top of the line, absolutely amazing but I find it tough to get on cardio equipment because it is always super busy when I go. Staff is super friendly, always plenty of parking
I was coming from out of state to compete in a jiu-jitsu tournament and would train here on the side. When I left my phone in a Lyft, I was in a very compromised situation being in the state alone without a phone. I want to thank the staff here for going above and beyond to make sure I was safe and helping me get in touch with their support services. Especially Joanne and Lucy. It showed me that the folks of your gym and your state have great character. I enjoyed the pool and weights area in the basement during my time here as well. I never got to check out the nature trail but it’s in a beautiful wooded area. Definitely a great YMCA for the locals and out-of-towers alike.
Seemingly nice Y with wonderful swim team and coaches but be aware that people either accidentally or intentionally walk away with things that don't belong to them, and never return them. Our kids have had swim suits, swim caps and recently a new stainless water bottle stolen. My daughter's jewelry was stolen from the locker room after practice when she was in the shower. Best to not bring valuables to this Y, write your name all over things you do bring, and always keep them close. Unfortunately, this seems like a safe Y in a safe neighborhood but it is not.
This is a review for both swim lessons and the summer camp program. SWIM Our family previously loved the swim classes here. When management changed and all college aged students were hired to take over, the quality disappeared. We had swim lessons with instructors having their backs to kids in the deep end, eating pizza over the side of the pool on the pool deck, a mommy and me lesson where the instructor didn't get in the pool at all and sat with her feet in the water, classes starting and ending late, inadequate placement levels, and emails and calls getting ignored with the only return calls being essentially sales calls from the young staff to solicit private lessons without even having a date planned for them. It's sad because it was previously run well with wonderful, experienced instructors who were great with the kids. (Shout-out Savannah!) CAMP Our child attended camp and previously enjoyed it as well, but in 2024, it was a different experience that only lasted 2 days for fear of safety. Our child has severe food allergies. All paperwork and medication were provided as required, yet his counselors did not know and followed no protocol with him at all, especially during ice cream time, something that happens daily at camp. Thankfully, he was able to read the labels and knew of things he had previously had, but this is dangerous for no one to be monitoring a small child with allergies. Then, there was the question of heat. It was a heatwave, and the camp takes place all outside save for swim class. My son had heat exhaustion and became very ill. He said he couldn't refill his water because his counselors said they were late for their next rotation. Lateness seemed to be the norm because they were also brought late to their swim lesson, changed, got in the pool, and immediately forced out of the pool without a lesson or play because of this. After that second day we pulled our child for fear of safety, and after speaking with camp staff were apologized to and told they could refund our paid weeks. Then, the next day we were told in a very different tone that that would not be possible, and they will not refund camp at all. It should also be noted that there is no medical staff at the camp, i.e. a nurse. There was a nursing student who ran the "health office," but for a camp that size, that is dangerous. A student is not a nurse, and if you're sending your child for this very expensive experience, it should be known it's at your child's own risk because no one seems qualified to deal with health issues and concerns. I don't know what has happened in the last couple years at this YMCA, but the quality for kids programming is embarrassingly gone. What a disappointment for a previously great facility that we used to really love.
Extremely Disappointing Experience I had a terrible experience applying for financial assistance. Nancy Duhnham was unresponsive and unprofessional—she never returned my calls or emails. I completed the entire application process only to be completely ignored, without even receiving a notification about whether I qualified or not. The lack of communication and respect was incredibly frustrating and felt discriminatory.
