Since that time, I have volunteered at the Y teaching classes and helping with fundraising, as well as calling the Y my home gym. The staff take excellent care of each member and make you feel as though it's not just a gym, but a personalized experience. The Y opened their new building a few years ago, with the latest gym equipment, amazing group fitness classes and a beautiful childcare area. I highly recommend becoming a member here, where you will not just be a number on a membership list. I can't imagine working out anywhere else! They are my Y family.

I feel bad for anyone left there and I feel bad for the staff who work with the children because they are left on the front lines to answer for the failures of the administration. Casey who is the director will openly lie to you and pass you from person to person all while claiming the decisions aren't up to here but the pastor of the church . When confronted on her lies she will just refuse to take your calls or answer emails.

Staff is forever changing. While attending one of my children was having a cardiac episode (very lethargic, rapid heart rate that you could see through their clothes and shallow breathing) and no one called. They "lost" a dechoking device after having it for a couple of weeks. Still no resolution on how that can be replaced. My child would come home several times with bite marks that would take a week to heal from bruising, yet the poor teachers are left with no help from upper management to resolve this issue. I have tried to reach out twice to receive a refund that has been in my account since July, still with no response. They are no longer DHR affiliated due to being on probation and it being advised by DHR...I could go on but I will stop there. The only good teachers there are Denise, Kyla, Vicki & Rita. I am fully aware of the new director. She was the one that was not sympathetic to any of my situations I explained to her above. NO ONE from this establishment has called my phone in regards to my account. I have even emailed the new director and the board for the church with yet a response. PLEASE DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS HERE. They will lie to make themselves look good.
