  $73 a month (Now $79 a month, excuse me!) is an outrageous price for any gym. This is nearly double the price of other nearby gyms with similar facilities. This is clearly an attempt to jack up the price in a higher income area, and to subsidize lower income locations. Shameful

  While I appreciate that the facility strives to accommodate all age groups, several issues have made it increasingly difficult for paying members to enjoy their workouts. Many senior members enrolled through programs such as SilverSneakers and AARP frequently occupy large areas of the gym, particularly the track and common workout spaces, in a way that disrupts other members’ ability to train effectively. For example, the walking track often becomes a place for social gatherings, making it nearly impossible for those wishing to run or exercise at a faster pace to do so safely. Additionally, the temperature balance throughout the facility has become inconsistent—certain rooms are uncomfortably warm while others are overly cold, seemingly adjusted back and forth based on continuous complaints. This inconsistency affects the comfort and performance of all members. Lastly, parking availability has become a challenge due to early hours of use by specific groups, leaving limited space for full-paying members during regular morning and midday times. Considering that members enrolled through external senior fitness programs often have subsidized memberships, I strongly encourage management to review pricing and accessibility policies to ensure fairness and value for those paying full membership rates. I truly value the gym and would like to continue my membership, but I hope these concerns can be addressed to create a more balanced and equitable experience for everyone.

  I love the ymca, the trainers are always very nice and helpful, if anyone need any assistance I recommend Laura, such a great person to talk to and so helpful and thorough, I’m sure the others are too, the place, the locker room and bathrooms are always clean. The people at the front desk by the entrance are also very nice and friendly, I have not tried other programs or classes just the gym but hopefully I will in the near future, have a blessed day everyone everyday, glad to be part of the YMCA. ❤️👍👏
