This complex is quite nice compared to other YMCA locations. The equipment is semi-new but has QR codes that can be scanned for videos that link up to proper workout routines. There are 2 independent workout rooms that you can workout in with mats. I havent checkout the pool but I know that there are water exercise schedules and lifeguards are always on duty.

Awesome pool, great staff and instruction. People please teach your kids to swim it will save their life. All of my kids have learned to swim here. We even go back periodically for advanced lessons . Start with the learn to swim get your kids a foundation take a break from lessons and when they grow take them back for the advanced lessons. All of the instructors and staff are great peopleSupport your YMCA dont go to a high dollar franchise place. This place has all.you could ever need and remember for every class you take we are keeping the facility open as well as for those who pay full price you are also helping to give a discount to those who might not be able to pay full price via a scholarship . The y is life changing for kids and will build skills that will last a lifetime.

This place is a fantastic value. I joined for the pool thinking that I would still have to belong to a yoga studio - not so. They have some awesome yoga instructors (Mark Shveima, Tracey Anderson and others) and they have a wide range of other classes as well. Highly recommended.

I like it but had to give 3 stars because they need to work on things. They need to start having cash on hand because having exact change is not possible all of the time and maybe some sensitive training for the customer service kind of has attitudes. Also new shower curtains and bleach floor would be nice. We have a family room No Boys over 4 should be in the girls. Locker room and in the showers. The girls cant come out because there are older boys walking around. I tell the staff but it is still happening. Its not right

Friendly and family oriented place. Only drawback is the swim classes offered are geared toward retirees = during the work day. And lap swimming is cut off from 5-7pm week days.

It would be nice if the front desk people were more mature and realized we were in to swim, not take 30 minutes just to sign us in. We actually did NOT swim and just went home, because it took so long and once we got to the pool and found out there are no towels here- you have to bring your own, unlike our home YMCA and no one checking us in chose to tell us in alllll that time. I havent been back since. Unbelievable.

I love the Y and, specifically, the Jackie Robinson. Brand new facilities and a great community!. Many of the workout rooms have windows which make the space feel more spacious with lots of natural light.

Lovely place. My wife has a membership and I visited as a guest. Lets break this up.Childcare: They have a childcare center for our little one and he loves going. Even when I dont go to the gym with my wife, he wants to go with her so he can go to the daycare to hang out. He LOVES IT. They have a great staff and they keep him entertained the whole time.Cardio: They have plenty of cardio machines. The TV signal does not work on all of them, even the basic channels. I was trying to watch local Fox for the TNF NFL game and it was so static, I couldnt see anything. Luckily the game is on Amazon Prime so I could watch on my phone.Weights: Great weight section. The overall gym is not the biggest so a lot of their equipment is close together. Most people that want to work out are not going to impede on your space while lifting but there are some people who will still get TOO close while lifting. Just something to think about.Programs: The programs they have for the kids are amazing. The kids love this place. They go to the gym to do cardio and also love to go for any of the sports programs they have. It is definitely a bonus to be a member if the kids are going to be attending any classes.Overall this gym is probably one of the best in the area if you have a family. If my kids and wife didnt want to go to the gym, I would look at something else that was cheaper and maybe bigger BUT with the FAMILY wanting to go to the gym, this is a TOP choice for us.

Took my kids here for a swimming pool party. The kids enjoyed the pool and they have a nice area for pizza, drinks, and cakes. A great alternative to having a big birthday party at the park. The restrooms were clean and there were plenty of places to park.

The are rude the don’t respect the members don’t get a membership there all they will do is judge you especially the employees they will write you up because of you tell another member to F off be here was doing something that could of got you injured but you told him something and then he makes a report so don’t go to the YMCA go to LA Fitness or Planet Fitness don’t choose this gym all my friends have changed and they all say that LA Fitness or Planet Fitness is better than the YMCA

Review №46

Super disappointed with staff, lifegaurds, and day camp counselors. Staff at the ymca front desk are extremely rude and are quick to have an attitude when asked a question. Lifegaurds are unapproachable and constantly scream rules at the kids and tell parents to move but theres limited seating so where do we go???? Day camp staff seem friendly enough but my child had a couple incidents happen that, had he not have blurted it out at first sight of me I wouldnt have been notified i.e. being pushed in the mud by another child. Also its Monday according to my son he fell and hit his head on concrete this past Friday again where is the notification???? Awful practices.....
