Officially just cancelled my membership here today after reluctantly dealing with incompetent staff / lack of maintenance the past 2.5 years. The facility is dirty, outdated and the individuals they employ here don’t do anything remotely productive for paying members.
In fact they do quite the opposite.. Literally playing pool or scrolling on phones at the front desk when common areas & locker rooms are filthy, amenities like steam rooms / water heat & pressure not functioning properly at least once per week, and not to mention the extra special individuals they employ like Calvin the custodian who deliberately throws members sweat soaked, expensive clothing in the trash despite being confronted about it several times in the past.
Place is a total zoo and I’m beyond glad to never have to put up with this dookie smelling facility ever again. You couldn’t pay me to come back here 🤦🏻♂️.

This Y has become a second home to us! The group classes are so fun. I've made friends; I'm so much healthier now; and I've been able to see some amazing transformations in other people there. Oh and we love Miss Nancy for daytime childcare!

I had a deeply disappointing experience with an employee named Byron Beal at the YMCA. His behavior was shockingly unprofessional and inappropriate, especially in an environment that is supposed to be safe and welcoming for families.
During our interaction, he spoke to my brother in a disrespectful and aggressive manner, including the use of inappropriate language that no staff member should ever direct toward a young person. Regardless of the situation, there is no excuse for an adult in a position of responsibility to communicate that way.
What made the situation worse was the complete lack of professionalism and self-control he displayed. Staff members at a community organization like the YMCA should model respect, patience, and maturity—not hostility.
This experience has seriously impacted my perception of the YMCA, and I hope management takes concerns like this seriously moving forward. No family should feel uncomfortable or disrespected in a place that is meant to support and uplift the community.
A YMCA membership is a great value that includes many benefits, like:
- Free group exercise classes
