Nice facility, friendly staff. Would be nice if all users wiped down machine user areas after use. Machines occasionally occupied by idle users (talking, cell phones) remains an issue, especially the frequently used machines.

What an awesome place for our community. The staff is super friendly and helpful. I am so thankful I have somewhere to spend my mornings in a welcoming atmosphere. Plus, there’s a pool!!

The fact they make you pay to leave is ridiculous. Not that great of a facility compared to others and the staff is less than inviting. My son's soccer season was unorganized and I was under informed about changes to practice and games. This YMCA could use some major changes!

I like working out here. In general they have lots of machines. I gave only 4 because they only have 2 of exercise bikes i prefer, the tv in front of bike i use has been broken for weeks, I wish theyd post a sign asking people not to sit idly on machines while they use their phone or chat with friends, i was given price and info on my grandchildren coming to swim when in town and policy was changed within a week of them coming denying admission on a weekend. I had already promised them, so it was hugely disappointing for us. Other than these items its a beautiful, well kept, and courteous gym.

11-06-2025 — The ceiling is still filthy. The building needs maintenance. The ceiling looks to have black mold. In the summer there is occasional dripping next to the resistance machines and if that is black mold up there, it needs to be cleaned.
