Love this YMCA. Has everything I need. Special shout out to John who works maintenance/janitorial. I see how he goes the extra mile in all he does... works hard, trains others with grace, and always friendly when I see him. Thanks guys, keep up the good work!

Good in general! clean and really nice pool and hot tub. Gym is good and have enough machines and weights.It would be good to have someone coordinating the pool in the busy mornings, as sometimes there are lots of people waiting, but it is really nice place.

I really love this place!! My only issue is that the gym smells really bad. From the moment you walk in it smells like body odor or stinky feet. Is there anything you guys can do about this?? <3
