  I am a member of YMCA and I usually go there to workout in their bear cabin gym and sometimes play basketball in their basketball courts. What I can say is, they have an outstanding gym. It's not as packed compared to planet fitness and leaves a wide variety of machines that you can work on. But the reason why i am putting this as a 3 star review is mainly because of the large amount of daycare kids that take over the basketball courts and tennis courts and many more places in the YMCA building. Mind you, people pay for the large variety of activities in YMCA, Not just the gym. People pay money to go to the basketball courts and even the tennis courts. Almost everyday and every time i see kids packed in those courts and dont get me wrong I appreciate YMCA taking the responsibility to handle these kids. But if there's a large quantity of kids that literally take up half of the building, then lower down these prices or better yet, set a YMCA Kid's Daycare limit of applications. PEOPLE PAY TO GO TO THE COURTS THAT KIDS TAKE OVER IN. It's not fair to the people that spend their hard earned money to go do activities that shouldn't even be occupied by large amount of kids. I blame this on the staff for not taking note of this. If you're planning to go to YMCA ONLY go to the gym. Don't even bother going to other areas. Or better yet, go to planet fitness instead.

  I really would love to give a SHOUTOUT to the ladies in the daycare room! I was incredibly nervous to trust anyone to watch my children even for an hour to workout but these ladies are the best! They had my youngest look forward to going to the Y, everytime I had gone they were always so sweet and kind to me and my family. They definitely deserve the praise and acknowledgment!

  Me and my friend had signed up for the free teens YMCA program and the front desk let me and my friend go down to the locker room and today a staff that worked there asked how old we were and we were around 13 and she had said that we weren't allowed in the locker room mind you its 18+ but the front desk said we were allowed to be there and Men and Boys are allowed together in one locker room all ages?!?! Make this make sense sexist!
