T.J. Wynn· 2 months agoI've been a member here for over 20 years. You cannot ask for a better environment to nurture your health journey. I have several kids and they all have played sports, had swim lessons, and utilized the day care facilities that are offered. There is plenty of clean equipment and a wide range of classes available to choose from. Don't forget the Basketball, Pickleball, Handball, Sauna, etc.. The list goes on and on. Because of the family atmosphere that all can enjoy, and we have throughout the years, our family continues to stay active and pursue a healthy lifestyle. Thanks Frank DeLuca YMCA!
Nicole Minnich· 4 months agoWe really enjoy this location! Our family membership for four is $97, and it has been a great fit for us. My girls play volleyball and also use the workout areas, and over time this has truly become a place we look forward to coming to. We’ve had a few minor issues here and there, but the staff has always been kind and quick to help resolve anything. We especially love the new sports manager — such a positive addition!
Kenny Burnett· a month agoI believe the swimming lessons are great sometimes the classes are too big for only 1 or two instructors but my kid definitely learned a lot. The only thing I did not like is they don’t give any feedback back in progress. Yes I think my kid is doing great but I like to get the opinion from someone else’s eyes especially to see if she needs to take classes more often or is she ready to move up a level.
Kay Pierce· 2 months agoVery clean and friendly. Only problem is that after signing up I was welcomed and left to find my own way around. No help atm with the machines or weights. Didn’t get a tour so I would know where everything was. It’s a big place. Signed up for a trainer and the 3 free sessions but has been almost 3 weeks and no reply. I am 78 and need guidance so not to get hurt.
Debra S Poole· 2 months agoWater aerobics class , silver sneakers class , move & balance class, super friendly & supportive staff, are only my personal reasons for counting the YMCA as a top blessing in my life! Get a visitor’s pass and discover your own personal reasons! My aching senior citizen body is thanking me for finally engaging in healthy movement! Use it or loose it! Never too late to start as long as you are breathing and willing!
