I paid $9 for all three of us- that's half the price for one ticket for our neighborhood pool in Seattle! The kids loved the different pool areas. My daughter can't swim yet, so she went back and forth between the kiddie pool and the shallow end of the larger pool. My nephew loved the drop slide! The pool and surrounding area was very clean and the lifeguards helped my nephew find his watch when it fell off. We'll return when we're in Boise again!

My hubby and I drove to experience the hot springs since we read such great reviews…read more We reserved online via their website. It was a breeze to see their days and times available. We also signed our waivers online and paid using the Apple Wallet which felt pretty safe. We were greeted by a young lady sitting at the office window. She acknowledged our reservation. We were a bit early and she told us to wait a bit while she made sure things were sanitized and she would give us a tour of the hot tub area shortly. The area was so clean, private and just overall welcoming. If you are in the Boise area you and are looking for something relaxing to do, we recommend this place even though it's approximately an hour away from downtown Boise, Idaho. We paid $22 for 1 hour in the spacious natural hot springs private area. They have a large speaker that you can connect to via Bluetooth. The bathrooms are clean and they provide body wash for the showers.

My boyfriend and I joined Crunch in Eagle because we just wanted something simple and affordable…read more Big mistake. They call constantly, trying to push us into meeting with their "fitness manager," which is just a sales trap for outrageously overpriced personal training sessions nobody asked for. It feels less like a gym and more like a telemarketer with dumbbells. The place is filthy. My boyfriend used the men's showers one time and will never do it again. He said the floors were covered in this greenish slime, slippery even with shower shoes. Health-code-who? The machines aren't much better. One of them literally loosens the pin while you use it, so you're constantly resetting it unless you want to get launched into orbit. (If I wanted a surprise flight, I'd at least book Delta. That's the joke. Don't hurt me.) On top of that, their "cheap" membership isn't actually cheap. You can't sign up for the basic tier without paying over $100 in fees, BUT during the trial they'll happily steer you into the $30/month plan because that one has no sign-up fees. Classic bait-and-switch. Their class schedule is a joke unless you're unemployed or live in a different time dimension. Almost everything is during normal work hours. And the massage chairs they brag about? They're basically mall massage chairs someone threw a purple LED on. If you only need a place to swipe in and lift some weights, and you don't mind grime, upsells, or random mechanical hazards, then maybe it's worth it. For anyone expecting something clean, honest, or remotely professional... absolutely not.

I think the population of Idaho City is less than 500 people but this gem is smack in the middle and a delight. We reserved online, checked in early, they settled us in early so we had a little extra time to soak which was awesome after a long day on the Payette River rafting. In the private tubs clothing is optional so any services received for food or drink are quietly delivered through a rotating lazy Susan built into the wall for no sight/touch service. This was a beautiful end to a long day. It felt like a treat but is affordable and accessible.

Something is off when the yuppies on work breaks are floating in massive fun pool toys, and the kids don't seem to be permitted to jump or splash or throw a ball? We need to reconsider the approach to the family pool culture for ages 7-20 or it's going to be no fun for anyone. Locker rooms and classes and equipment are great, but that's not why we would shell out for a family membership.

We visited for the first time a couple weeks ago for a trial class for both my kids. I picked a day of the week where they could both take a class at the same time. Pros: *the teachers were great! *The kiddy pool that the kids can play in before/after is fun for them. Cons: *it's connected to the gym right behind it and apparently the gym goers get to use the same pool facility. There was a couple weird/creepy looking old men in small swimsuits that were using some of the lanes in the biggest pool, that didn't make me feel comfortable as a mom. *there was a man who was either an owner or manager, he had long hair and he looked like a creepy guy as well, which sets off my mom radar (when you work around kids for a living, you should be very aware of the appearance you put off to parents), I will say he did kindly ask how our class was.. *this place is hot and humid as all heck inside where you sit to be close to your young kids, we only had a 30 minute class but it felt like forever and I was sweating everywhere but the time we left. Just not a good fit for us.

The slide isn't always staffed, but when it is, it's super fun... even as a grown up :-) They have a rock wall, track for walking/running, and offer fitness classes. My mom likes doing the circuit of machines up in the weight lifting area. There's lots of cardio equipment. I usually prefer the free weights and non-circuit resistance machines for my workouts, and I've found everything I needed at this YMCA. Staff and members are all friendly, and I've never felt uncomfortable working out here. Sometimes you end up weighting for weights or machines, especially during peak times, but that's pretty much how it goes at any gym. Membership is $50/month for one person, or I believe $80/month for two, so a bit of savings. Considering everything you have access to with a membership, it's honestly not a bad deal. I have paid as much or more for gyms with way fewer amenities, let alone for a yoga or pilates studio. Definitely a good option.

I have not been to…read moreevery YMCA in the valley but I love the warm pool, the walking circuit, and they have an amazing staff that is always friendly when we come in. I will say it is a bit pricey, but they have financial assistance for people who are needing it, and when I lost my job we paid based on how much we made so cost doesn't have to be a factor preventing you from going to an inclusive community center for all ages. The YMCA in West Boise offers a great experience for any newcomer to the gym or long time veterans who are just coming in to work out.
