Need to update the Gym schedule online faster. People waste their time driving. Front desk is great and just relaying info while others seem non chalant about it as if it doesnt matter.

It's one of the bigger gym areas of the Y's, but it doesnt have as many child activity amenities as say River chase. We've really enjoyed our membership and will keep coming!

I would like to give this Y a better review but I can’t. Between the this YMCA not having the facilities that others have like the hot tub or steam room and children running around in the gym workout area running into people it is truly disappointing. But what really made me give them a one star review was being called during my workout on my last day of the membership being told I was not allowed to be in the facility. I was paid up through the last day of the month and the system beeped me in but this rude lady called me to tell me that I wasn’t allowed. It was rude, unprofessional and unacceptable to treat me like I was doing something wrong.
