My little dude has been going to Parent and Tot (since 10 months old) classes for a few months…read more Both myself, my husband and our nanny have taken him. He loves going! Our nanny has been to several swim schools and says this is the best he's seen and really likes it. Occasionally one of the babies will cry the whole lesson but mine has loved it! It's located in an old Aldi Supermarket. The water is 90 degrees and the building is completely warm. The dressing room has two changing rooms with a baby table, otherwise there is a large baby changing area in the open. The hard part is changing yourself after baby. I recommend to have a partner if you're bringing a baby, although only one can get in the water. There is a lot of viewing space. There are 5 lanes, each with a class going on. Classes are 30 min and can be once or twice a week. They also offer winter camps. You're allowed to make up a class if there's a reasonable reason they missed and that is all done through the portal. Overall, I highly recommend it!

I finally signed my daughter up for swim lessons. She is terrified of being in the water unless…read moreshe's walking around ankle deep. She takes a while to acclimate to being in and under the water. We were very impressed with the ease of sign up, the website, and the staff. We were greeted when we walked in by warm, friendly staff who explained everything to us. I cannot rave enough about the swim instructors with my daughter. She made them work on night 1! As a behavior analyst, I was impressed with their skills with balancing rapport building and following through to push her. She was "that one" that was loud and screaming and no one was visibly bothered. Also before going I was skeptical of how much can really be done in 30 minutes with a small group of 3/4 year olds. I was also impressed with how quickly they move between children's turns, sharing attention with each one, and keeping the pace moving!

I love their patience with the children! They're very kind and work well with the kids when they're…read moreupset or unwilling to try something. My daughter is 2.5 and my son is 14 weeks old. My daughter has gone off and on since she was five months. My son just started when he turned 2 months old. My daughter is very comfortable in the water and some of the thanks goes to the instructors here. I only wish she was actually learning safety measures. I've watched videos of children smaller than her tossed into a pool and able to back float or swim to safety. I'm sure some of this will come in due time but for the cost, more aggressive teaching would make me happier. I do however appreciate the warmth of the water and that it's not chlorine. That reeks havoc on black children's hair.

We went to take a tour of this YMCA location because we were interested in the family membership…read more The staff were friendly and showed us around, but the facilities were quite worn down and the clientele was mostly a very old crowd. Which isn't inherently a bad thing, but the vibes were dead. Absolutely no atmosphere at all. Once again, nice staff, but we are hesitating on joining because this place needs a re-vamp. Also, it's strange that they keep your drivers licenses during the tour. We had to wait for them to be handed back.

I just joined this location over the summer when I learned they offer the Les Mills gym classes…read more There are a lot of good things that are working for this location, I have to say: really super affordable, lots of friendly staff, street and lot parking, minimal crowds, and nice patrons. The building and equipment itself, while centrally located to Kirkwood, are a bit dated. It could stand to use a facelift but I understand that's what keeps the rates affordable and the people coming back. They also offer many classes (like sports leagues, CPR certification etc). And even discount to the Trout Lodge - a very large camp / lake site for fun activities. I would love to try that out some time. I would also like to try out their pool too!

The maintenance crew performs an excellent job cleaning & the overall Y looks great, especially during & post-Covid. The gym equipment floor is expansive with plenty of options inc/ free weights, different exercise machines, many diff styles of cardio equipment, etc... The basketball floor is brand new & where they host many diff boys/girls rec leagues practices & games. They play pickleball on the courts, also. Walking track is on the 2nd floor above the gym. I'm encouraging everyone to join, become a donor to assist our fav biz in North County! Your donations can be used for childcare, events (Ex. They just hosted an indoor Halloween extravaganza for the kids this week). I don't know why the YMCA('s) Executives/Mgmt. doesn't broadcast all the services, benefits & community events?? The YMCA needs our assistance regarding donations, volunteerism, event participation & joining to improve OUR community and our family's health!! As a community, we should all look to join, participate & donate to this excellent, quality & affordable value. My wife & I have participated in the Christmas gift drive for a decade+.

A steady stream of people were coming in and out, but everyone was in a good mood. The attendants acknowledged everyone as they scanned their Keychain. The equipment was almost all occupied, but I managed to do a few machines. I like that they have several televisions playing in front of the treadmills and bikes- it helps to distract. There were just a couple of machines that were out of order. This is a pleasant gym to visit, although prepare to be around a lot of people while you work out!
