All of their work out facilities are on the second floor (except the pools). They have a large studio where almost all of the classes are held, a walking track (which overlooks two basketball courts below), and a HUGE fitness center. My favorite part of this gym is the fitness classes they offer; which include HIIT, Zumba, Combat, Yoga, Pilates, and more!! The instructors are fabulous and I haven't met one that I haven't like yet.

This is an animal gym for animals…read more The pool is too hot for serious lap swimmers. This is, sadly, typical for YMCA pools. But what is not typical? Abandoned Band-aids and wax earplugs in the water, hairballs that never get cleaned or filtered away, water that is too cloudy to see through after the summertime day-camp kids have their way with the place, and off-the-charts unhealthy indoor air quality (don't swim here with asthma). Plus there's the one lifeguard who asks for your phone number. Every time he sees you. Nothing in the building ever gets cleaned. The locker room mold is off the charts, and dust and lint accumulating on the air duct vents suggests a serious fire hazard. Speaking of nothing ever getting cleaned, please do not touch the plastic turf in the weight room unless you want to smell like it for days. The residue of Axe body spray, Drakkar Noir, and eau de dirty sock/foot sweat from people who take off their shoes and stroll around like they're the beach has steeped the turf to the point that it will literally stain your sneakers. A handful of the weight machines are already out of service less than two months after being purchased. Not sure if this says more about the clientele or the fact that the Y bought these machines from Temu. This place gets so crowded during peak hours (which is most of the day) that it's nearly unusable, and the crowding is compounded by (1) bad behavior and terrible gym etiquette which goes (2) selectively enforced by YMCA staff. Forget about using the weight sled; two boys are lounging on it. You wanted to use the landmine press? Sorry, a woman has built herself a dumbbell nest right in front of it. You want to use the plyo boxes? Too bad; a guy is draped across them while FaceTiming his naked girlfriend and you're about to be on camera. You'd like to walk on the track? Unfortunately, a woman and her small children need, for some reason, to walk five abreast and will give you a death stare every time you try to pass. Don't even get me started on the number of inappropriate and incorrect exercises the personal trainers have their clients doing. I guess it's convenient to have a physical therapy business across the room because yikes. It's no wonder the Upper Main Line YMCA won't give us reciprocity to use their facility. This is a human zoo. For what you get, this place should cost $5 a month. I will never get over the nerve of the Rocky Run YMCA spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on a lobby facelift when they are so badly in need of capital improvements to infrastructure, staff training, and some gym staff who actually know what the hell they're doing.

This wasn't my first choice to tour, but I'm really glad I did. I saw a lot during the visit.

Everyone seemed genuinely friendly, and it didn't feel staged.

First of all, I think the price is a bit high for the little it includes. I think it was $12 per kid (adults free) but all that gets you is access to the climbing/slide area. You have to buy a card for all the games, rides and other activities. However, it was nice to let our kids run around for a bit, although of course they didn't want to spend time in the climbing area when there were games and other attractions all around. One other nice thing is you can leave and come back all day long. We choose to grab lunch elsewhere and come back for some more fun. Don't think I would be back but happy it was available when we needed somewhere to go!

I don't think I ever imagined that any school experience could be described as magical, but that's the word that kept popping into my head everyday at drop off and pick up. A week in the woods was a perfect change of pace for my little city kid. He swam in the campus pools each day, played games like tag and basketball, built with legos, dew pictures, built toy boats to use in the pool, and ate snacks provide by the school as well as the lunch we packed. He also had the chance to feed the school's sheep and chickens. By the end of the week, he was begging to return again in the future, so we'll definitely be looking into attending a camp again in the future.

Additionally, the photos sent of my little guy really help me get through the day. Each staff member, whether my son's teacher or not, knows who he is. It's a wonderful community and we are so grateful that we found such a wonderful place for our son to go during the day.
