I have been to other YMCA locations and this location has the best instructors anywhere. I go every single day and take several classes, I also use machines and walk the track. My husband is a member as is my daughter, her entire family, and my son. My grandchildren have taken swim lessons at the y. During the summer months it is louder due to the kid population but I believe the staff, for the most part, keeps them under control. They have an adequate daycare facility which was recently remodeled. Although I didn't notice an increase of activities available. They could use additional staff so the climbing area could be utilized more often. The pool is great but again they could use additional staff so that the water slide and water tree are open longer. I also noticed that each lifeguard seems to have a different set of rules for the water slide, they need to be more consistent so both children and adults know the rules.The splash pad is great, although it seems to cater more to younger children. My grandchildren have taken classes with me and have utilized kidstuff, the pool and the splash pad, they enjoy all areas. The Y also encourages members to volunteer for great programs like feed my starving children which we participated in.
Really enjoyed our visit to this YMCA! It was a large establishment with an outdoor playground and indoor pool. The locker rooms were large and clean. Our family spent all of our time in the outdoor, castle-themed, splash pad and picnic area. It is all fenced in and also has two larger water slides ideal for your little ones.
My Favorite YMCA, Nice friendly staff and friendly atmosphere at this location, and the other guests are nice as well. I've been to a few others ymca's in the metro area and they need to have all there staff train at this location, We'll done Emma B Howe location.
Our family has had many negative interactions with Davian at the front desk. His treatment of members is unnecessarily harsh and overbearing. We just hope that his approach is just a power trip and not rooted in any bias towards Somalis and immigrants. If it’s the former, I hope trying to ruin people’s day with the little control u have reduces ur misery.
The front desk guy was completely rude to me and was bulling my 13 yrs old daughter. He made my child cry and made her go to the end of the line for what reason I have no idea.i confronted him and he didn't even listen. But the next time i go back there or if I ever go back, their will be a scene with the police involved. Matter fact I'll take my member ship els were!
I've been coming here for more than 20 years and it's still my HAPPY PLACE!
Too many people on free membership with zero manners and behaving like animals. Please enforce the rules so members can enjoy the gym or stop giving out these free memberships which paid members are funding.
Love this ymca, here for school until april. Great staff, good pool, lots of equipment to use and in good condition. My ymca at home doesnt allow young kids under 14 in weight area, they do here to 10 years old which can be quite crowded and some screwing and running around can be a bit frustrating. Morning is best time to lift, not as crowded. Overall i enjoy working out here
