Overall, it is a great place for recreation, fitness, and recovery, especially for those with disabilities, thanks to friendly and helpful staff.
This Y was great! Very welcoming, my husband and I have been traveling around for several weeks and have stopped at YMCA's along the way and this one was by far one of our favorites. They had plenty of dance classes and a huge pool

I just moved to work temporarily here in the Pierre area. I've lived and worked out west for decades. The Y here is an amazing facility with so many features. So grateful the community has this resource.
