This is the most disgusting place I have ever been too. I do not understand all of the positive reviews. The women’s locker room looks like something out of a SAW movie. The carpet in the locker area very obviously has not been shampooed in a very long time. There is dust, dirt and grim on the carpet. The inside of the locker was even dirty. There was a wall covered in some sort of yellow/orange (dried) sludge. The hot tub was 1/4 filled and had a layer of grim at the bottom. The trash cans were even worn and dirty. Tiles missing from the ceiling. Once in the pool area the doors to employee areas were open and cluttered. Everything looked and felt old and very dirty. The best thing about this location was the heated toddler pool BUT even that was gross and dirty. All sorts of stuff floating in the water. At one point a child had a bloody nose and the pool attendant cleaned the area by dumping a bucket of pool water to clear it off the deck. Yikes! Is that sanitary and protocol? I would think YMCA has a standard for their stores. Obviously corporate has not been to this location, ever.

Dimond location on Saturday is super quiet.. & minimal staff. In weight room, theres smashed wall has been there for a while. Youre definitely on your own. If youre a beginner this not a gym for you.

I love coming to the YMCA!!! I enjoy both locations and Between eating healthy, attending their various dance/workout classes, and utilizing the gym/pool, I have almost hit my goal weight. The support from staff/management has been so helpful, especially on days when I didnt think I could keep coming. I just wish they could stay open later, or even have one of the locations open 24/7.

I love this location. They have the kiddies pool which is actually warm warm. I LOVE IT!!The manager is great and easy to talk to.Childcare would make it even better but people need to understand it’s pretty new. It’s going to take time to get things close to where it should be.

Could use more upkeep on equipment and need better selection. No kid care as promised for summer 2019...still waiting. Planet fitness is better deal for $10-$20/month if dont care for a pool

Getting better with new management. Used to be borderline health hazard. Now they keep it pretty clean.They need to upgrade locker rooms and sauna asap. Could be a good hub for health with the right team.

I really love that they have taken over the diamond athletic club. They have done a lot to update, but still have some things to do to being it back to its glory. I am looking forward to many years of staying healthy here. The folks at the front desk have always been very helpful.

The previous owners ran this place down pretty badly. YMCA recently purchased it and has already made some improvements, replaced some flooring, and etc. YMCA is a non-profit, so they are repairing things as funds allow, but the place already looks much better than under previous owners. Thanks YMCA for what youve done to improve this place and for your mission!

Been going to DAC since 1992. Started there because its the only club in town with a decent pool besides the old Teamsters club on Tudor. But this is less expensive, always clean, not crowded, and even though it is now over 35 years old and takes constant maintenance, Migel keeps everything running. The staff changes but Mo and Angelia always greet with smiles and Jim keeps clean warm towels coming. PLUS you meet the neatest people there, young and old of many races.

I signed up with them and within a week there hours changed where they close at 3pm on Sundays and 5pm on saturdays. This didnt work with my schedule and they wouldnt refund me. I understand that they would keep the sign up fee cost but they also kept my monthly which was unfair in my opinion.

Some of the staff is very rude and have bad attitudes that made me not want to come back. Specifically, Carolynn Cliff the swim instructor. Very snappy , staring at me the entire time I was in the pool like I was doing something wrong. This woman also waited for us to get out the pool and rushed over to grab the pool noodles and lock them away when we had barely gotten out of the pool. She hated us being there. I’m not pleased with my experience and may not come back.
