Overpriced for what they have. They charge $15 for a day pass, their weight area is quite small,…read moreand they don't offer towel service. Plus they don't even have medical tape on hand! I travel a lot for work, and for the Y to gouge me like this for minimal services, it makes me never want to go back. Definitely not to this one. I was just in Missouri, their Y had towel service and was only $10. Highly unsatisfied. Go to the SNAP Fitness in town instead

I have been a loyal supporter of our Atchison YMCA since the beginning of what I call my "midlife…read moreweightlifting crisis", about three years ago. From the executive director all the way to the maintenance staff, The Y is one of the friendliest and most supportive places in town. One of their trainers worked with me at the start of my fitness program, and I'm proud to say the Y staff continues to support me as I near the end of the two-year plan my Y trainer helped me build. Always ready with a warm welcome and encouragement, the Y staff and my fellow members create a true family in the best sense. They may not be the cheapest option, but the comaraderie, enthusiasm and diverse and modern facilities make up for it. True, they could use a couple more flat benches in the weight room, which shrunk a bit with the move, but I'm confident the staff has heard those requests and will expand and improve as funding allows. So, if you haven't visited the newly remodeled/expanded Y, treat yourself to a tour and join the fun. I'll see you there on Tuesdays and Thursdays for some hard cardio! Thanks to all of you at the Y, staff and members, for creating one of the best community resources in town!

Visiting in February, much of the park was brown but still beautiful. We went to see Stan Herd's…read moreAmelia Earhart permanent artwork. It was hard to see the image as there was no hill quite high enough to see the true image of Amelia. I grabbed a pic from the internet which shows the artwork from high above and took one from the viewing patio when we visited. Stan Herd is an amazing artist. He did Van Gogh's olive trees in Minnesota. It was not a permanent artwork but amazing none-the-less. It's so interesting to view the art from super close up and from afar to see the choices he makes in materials and how that translates into a floral artwork. I included a pic of the MN artwork here too for fun, again one I grabbed from online.

BEWARE! The guy who owns this company also runs a landscape business called "Action Lawn Care."…read moreHis name is Ed. He does not know anything about what he is doing in the contract / lawn side of things. We hired him to do several thousands of dollars worth of work for us and had to pay to have EVERY SINGLE THING re-done by someone else. He was supposed to re-grade our front yard. He did it wrong and we had to have a different landscape company re-do it right. He put in a French drain / foundation drain that didn't work. Again, we had to have a different company come back and re-do it. We paid him to do hydro seed and it was FILLED with WEEDS. So... we had to hire someone else to come plow it up and lay sod. And we hired him to put in a sump pump to keep water out of our garage. I typically don't write flaming reviews and just dealt with it, but the straw that broke the camel's back is that, the sump pump he installed just broke! It has been there for ONLY about a year. And again, this was the ONLY thing we haven't already had to pay to have re-done - the only, single thing! I called and asked him to come and fix it and he told me he would be that he would charge us for the whole thing over again - the labor and a new pump. Please keep in mind that we already paid him THOUSANDS! And had to re-pay thousands to someone else. He doesn't stand behind his work AT ALL, and even wouldn't come back to fix this out of everything we paid him for. In addition, he turned out to be one of the most hostile people that I have ever encountered. He was rude, yelled at us often, and continued to charge more than his bids throughout the job. We will never give him one more dime and wish that there had been reviews out there on his company before we hired him. We went with him because his daughter-in-law had done work for us, recommended him, and her work was FANTASTIC. We made a HUGE mistake trusting him and hope to help others avoid our mistake by putting reviews of his work out there. He is doing this type of work on the side, and hiding behind his scuba company. Our lesson learned.

In one evening of Discover Scuba class, instructors DJ and Steve helped me overcome my fears and…read moreanxiety of scuba. My husband and I received a groupon for Christmas, but we both were a little anxious about trying scuba. I finally called to reserve our spots in a Discover Scuba class. I had done one other "discover" type class while on a cruise and it was a terrible experience. But it was my husband's first experience. The class is held at the YMCA. The pool was pretty busy which made it a little distracting and hard to hear at times. They got us fitted for our gear, gave us an overview of equipment and basics. Then we learned two skills in the shallow end of the pool before moving deeper. I was super anxious at first and actually wanted to quit after a few tries. But both DJ and Steve were calm and patient. They helped me feel comfortable and encouraged me to keep going. I ended up really enjoying the experience. We got to spend about an hour in the water. My husband did better than me, he learned the skills quickly and comfortable immediately. Now we both want to go back and do our Open Water Certification. I highly recommend Big Joe Scuba and am so thankful they moved me from fearful to eager for more.
