So my 3 yo daughter and I arrive at 7Am expecting the daycare to be open. the plan was work out then play basketball. But the daycare wasn't open yet! Not till 8!! No worries!! We will just play basketball today! gotta make lemonade!! I ask permission to play the front desk lady agrees (Laura? Lauren? older woman with thick grey and black curly hair) she lets us pick out ball and we head in she stops us and says if anyone else comes we have to leave (I'm thinking sure a team we'll go but...anyone?? and we have to leave? Whatever I'm making lemonade!!) after watching and making faces at us, calling another coworker over discussing me and my daughter in front of us... then she comes in and tells me we have to go, because we're shooting the ball and actually playing instead of rolling the ball back and forth?? My daughter who is having SO MUCH FUN getting her energy out was never in danger. I believe the rep overstepped her bounds from YMCA into parenting. Don't we all want kids off iPads and actually engaging? Very disappointing. She should have either told us no to playing or advised us that injury wouldn't be their responsibility. Accidents can happen anywhere that's why it's important to play! Play teaches children to move their body use their hands and be better suited for avoiding danger. read more

Alabaster YMCA - Basketball court indoors - Gyms Near Me - Alabaster, Alabama

please be careful allowing your child to go here. The counselors do not watch the children thoroughly. My son got touched by another boy that went into bathroom with my son while the counseler was standing there not paying attention. They we're in the bathroom for 13 minutes. read more

We have been members of the Y for a couple of years now, and this is our home location. Let's start with the staff. From the minute you walk in, you feel at home. No matter who is on duty at the desk, they smile and greet you as if you are a family member they have known their whole life. Then comes the gym staff. They are all so nice, picking a personal trainer was difficult. We finally settled on Kristen, and she has been a blessing in so many ways! When it comes to child care during your workout the Y has you covered. All of the ladies are wonderful, but Megan is one of the only people I look forward to leaving my little girl with. The gym itself is always super clean. The machines are well maintained, and the common areas are well organized. This speaks volumes for the employee morale which is a direct reflection of their management! I hope to keep Alabaster Y as our home location, but if we have to move, we will consider other locations based on our experience here! Keep up the great work!! read more

This facility is a much needed boost above other places like it in Alabaster. The Y came in and bought a previous gym and did some much needed improvements to the existing structure and really cleaned the place up. Great for the community and glad they came to our area. read more

The Alabaster YMCA is a great addition to the Alabaster community. They offer programs from preschool to seniors!! If you are not a member stop by and check the Y out, you won't find a better place to work out in Alabaster. read more

To begin, this review has nothing to do with the facility itself. I work out here several times a week with a group of guys and we enjoy everything about the facility. They always are open on time, always clean and a great run facility. All this is great but in terms of the Youth Sports it is very unorganized. I wish I had taken the time to read the reviews before we signed up because it would have changed our minds on where our daughter would be playing her first season of organized youth sports. From the beginning it was a bad experience. We received a call several days before the season began that we didn't have a coach. The schedule was sent out prematurely with errors. When I asked about it, the Sport Director told me it was not supposed to be sent out and he had told that to the overall sport director. He stated she didn't communicate well and they would be resending it out, which they did, several days before the season was to begin. The uniforms did not come until a day before the games which I had to hand out the day of our first game. As well, it was communicated to us the day before our practice later in the season we would not be able to have practice the next day and we could move it if we liked, because of a Fall Festival they had which had already been pre-planned. So why not let us know prior to 24hrs before? He did response to emails but in a timely manner was never taken into consideration. One game we even had to ref our own game because they didn't have a ref or he was late. The field director just told us we could run the game ourself or wait for them to arrive. We ended up doing it ourself and the ref showed up with a few minutes left in the game. Over all, the experience was not great for the parents, even to add the fact they "forgot" to set up a photographer for our team pictures. It felt to me that the program is not a priority and just is made to "run itself". I would recommend using your city leagues such as Alabaster or Calera Parks & Recs. We will not be using them again for our daughter to participate in Youth Sports. If you do, be prepared to feel like you are walking around in the dark most the season. read more

Youth sports officiating is blatently one sided. Rules only apply to the opposing team. They are supposed to be teaching the kids sportsmanship instead they are teaching them to cheat if you can win fairly. I will be lodging a formal complaint. read more
