The YMCA Portage Branch offers pleasant staff, clean equipment, and a peaceful atmosphere without large crowds. Facilities include a nice selection of free weights, weight machines, cardio machines, an indoor track, and showers. There are great group fitness classes, easy online booking, and extensive childcare options with an amazing childcare room. Membership includes access to another branch with a sauna, steam room, and hot tub. Some notes include limited open swim times, no sauna/steam room/hot tub on-site, and a layout that requires traversing the building for different equipment. It is a family-friendly place with many activities for children.
In my presence the individual who ran our program exhibited unprofessional, sometimes juvenile behavior, with crass remarks about other participants. Everyone else I met and worked with was wonderful.

A lot of options to work out, Zumba, body pump, pickleball, and many other activities

Big, clean and poorly located.
Weight rooms and strength rooms feel cramped. The layout feels weird and I prefer the Maple Street location.
Walked in, saw everything, left within 4 minutes and drove back to Maple.
