The welcome staff at the front desk were amazingly happy, energetic, and all smiles. It was really helpful to come in and be greeted by such positive energy. The one studio space was small. The pool renovations have been taking way too much time. The pool has been closed for a long time. I was told that the hold up is due to the owner of the building not working to approve its operation. Otherwise, there is a lot of available equipment and I liked this gym very much.

It’s close to where I live. The membership isn’t too expensive. The instructors are encouraging while they push you to get stronger. The equipment is functional and clean. The whole facility is kept very clean. It’s a nice gym!

It’s definitely a smaller YMCA, but they make excellent use of the space afforded to them. They have several benches and a couple of squat racks. The bench racks are technically adjustable, but are the kind where there are only two or three settings so if you’re in that awkward height zone where you need to be in between two of the settings, they don’t work for you. I utilized on of the squat racks for this. Otherwise, The dumbbell selection is good and there’s a great cable pulley system. This YMCA also has your basics - chest press, leg press, etc.

I’m extremely disappointed in my treatment. I was an employee of two YMCAs and a member all through high school and college2016-2021. I recently contacted them excited to see the new facility and asked for a free day pass because I wanted to see if I liked working out there. They confirmed over the phone I would absolutely get a free trial. I arrived and there was an extremely rude front desk woman. She did not say hello or any type of greeting. This is the front desk employee working on April 17 at 3:30. I informed her I was offered a free day pass and she said no it’ll be $10. I said I was an employee and a member for years, I left during the rebuild to another gym and want to consider rejoining, she said I do not even see you in the system. I said since golds gym rates have gone up I’m considering rejoining here, she said well our rates have gone up too (it seems like she was trying to make me not want to join) I asked to speak to Nader who is one of the kindest Gms I’ve had the pleasure to work for. She said sorry he’s probably busy in a meeting. I stood there awkwardly. This is extremely infuriating she acted like she didn’t believe I was an employee even after I mentioned all the old staff who I knew, she didn’t offer me a free trial even tho I was promised it and have been a lifelong ymca member and employed by them. I will not be going back here. Whoever she is needs to learn the ymca culture because they’ve always been so good to me in the past. I may return when my family joins in another studio bc it will be free but I couldn’t imagine willingly giving my money to this type of employee. There was a nice gentleman who gave me a tour and the new equipment is super nice. I’m very frustrated this my poor review.
