Southtowns Family YMCA

The facilities are quite excellent. The sauna has just recently been completely refurbished and is quite nice. I'd give it 5 stars if only some of the patrons there could realize that the sauna/hot tub/steam room are often a place where a person wants to experience a bit of relaxing solitude instead of hearing folks discuss the minutiae of their daily experiences AT THE LOUDEST POSSIBLE SPEAKING LEVEL. I took to the swimming pool to escape someone's conversation about accounting and, no word of exaggeration, I could still hear them droning on from the far end of the pool with my ears under water. I am not supposing that people not be allowed to speak to one another whatsoever, but it's fairly rude and oblivious to have to endure people as much as shouting to someone two feet away from them in what might otherwise be a placid aquatic environment. Still, it's not implicitly the YMCA's responsibility for thee LOUD TALKERS WITH NO SELF-AWARENESS, but it doesn't make the experience bthe Haven of quietude that some of us seek.

This Y is very disappointing! They only offer child care for adults who are using the facilities on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. I realize it is heavily used by seniors, I am one myself. However, I prefer to workout on the morning not after 1:00 PM and the lack of morning child care in the playroom is very limiting Further, there isn’t even a free play area for kids in the morning. Finally, the people on the front desk are extremely unhelpful and were annoyed that we are out of area members and they had to deal with us. It is a poor facility.

I have nothing bad to say about this place! The staff, the Cleanliness the temperature in the gym, down to channels on the televisions. Amazing place I don’t want to go anywhere else . And I don’t have to fight with the grandkids to go there! Wish I had it when my kids were young! The kids love child watch and the staff always wear a huge smile on there face!

I went in person to join and asked specifically if I need a special membership to bring my 2 babies to child watch. I was told no. I joined just with the adult membership and showed up the next day w my 2 babies and was told by Doug at the front desk that it is the wrong membership. When I asked if he can help me add the kids he said no. I walked out to my car and called and then he answered and invited me back in to help. Then I was informed I have the wrong membership. The misguidance and lack of assistance and timeliness was a mess!! Very disappointing. I went in by myself to handle any problems before toting two babies in with myself. I ended up canceling my membership. What a disappointment!

Great facility! If you have little kids and want to work out there is a place to allow them to play while you work out on many of the treadmills and ellipticals upstairs. There are classes that have challenged me more than some of the local more expensive gyms have. I can't believe it does not cost more for a family membership. My three kids love the play area. We have done family swim nights and it has been a great place for my wife and I to work out together and have time to talk while walking around the indoor track. The gym is divided in half to allow for basketball and various other workouts as well. Great for kids birthday parties and they do activities themed to the time of year, like making cards for Christmas.

Less than one star would be better if there was an option for one. Bottom line… i asked to put my membership on hold online, then called to confirm and chose to cancel. After 3 months, the YMCA took money from my account after specifically being told not to. This continued for 3 months. When speaking with the membership director , who can clearly see that I have not been to their facility or any other facility for months, said i signed a contract. This is their defense. I would not recommend this location because of fraud.

I love all of the staff. The place is very clean. The only major problem I have, don't get me wrong when I say this.. my hubby and I like to go early morning around 7 am. When you go over to the side upstairs to workout on the weight machines...most times there are a small group if older men who tend to coffee catch. They will sit on machines and just sit and talk. Don't work out, or put their stuff on machine and walk over to talk to others you ask are they using the machine....their answer yes. There have been so many times I am unable to use half of the equipment on that side.Yiu may say ho later, why?
