    This YMCA is great. Reading the other reviews, I am going to attempt to address some of the…read morecomplaints. 1. Parking: Yeah, the parking isn't ideal, but they do the best they can! There is a small lot with about 15 spots behind the Y, about half the time I am able to park there easily. If that small lot is full, there is a parking garage directly across the street, the only downside to this is that you have to validate your ticket, and there is a 2.5 hour limit, which is usually more than enough but it is nice to not have to think about the time limit, which is why I prefer to park in the small lot behind the Y. 2. Staff: I have no idea what these other reviews are talking about when they say that the staff members are snarky or not helpful. All staff, specifically at the front desk, are kind, helpful, and even have gone the extra mile to learn my name even though I do not visit extremely frequently (~once a week, maybe twice.) 3. People on their phones on the equipment: Honestly, I've seen this happen (I've even done it myself at times) But typically its just someone sending a text or changing a song. I have never seen someone sit on their phone for more than 30 seconds on each machine. Stop by this Y, meet the staff, you won't be disappointed.

    The location of the Y was poorly planned. The building is small, parking is atrocious. It is a…read morenice facility, but for the increasing number of members, there shouldn't be a reason that you have to consistently look for non-peak times to get in a workout. The pool is TINY. Only 4 lanes with one being for walk aerobics. You usually have to share your lane with one to two other swimmers. You also have to walk to the pool from the locker room area next to the lobby. That makes absolutely no sense. The pool is also located in a glassed area next to the upper level workout rooms. So, be prepared for LOUD music being played while you swim and constant traffic from gym members. Front desk staff haven't been trained in customer service. No greetings, have their phones in front of them, when you have questions, they just point to self-service. Not quite sure why there needs to be a paid position for someone who doesn't seem to have a purpose being there. No way to improve on this except for moving to a bigger, better planned building and hire new staff or retrain existing staff.
