I have been a member of Hogan Family YMCA since I started working there in high school. After I…read moregraduated, my family maintained a family membership, which I use when I come home for breaks and holidays. This branch offers several amenities including an indoor and outdoor pool, indoor walking track, basketball gym, fitness gym, exercise classes, child watch (8 weeks -12 years) and youth after school and summer programs. Each time I visit, my experience has been consistently positive. The staff at this branch are very friendly and overall the facility is clean and well-maintained without signs of overcrowding.

I signed my son up for their holiday camp. They allowed him to play in grass I stated he was…read moreallergic to in his files. When they called me regarding the situation they stated they just noticed he had environmental allergies (he has multiple environmental allergies stated) but did not tell me he played in the grass, till I later asked them. I had to leave work early to pick him up, and he had a severe allergic reaction, as he practically went into anaphylactic shock. I had to miss work the very next day to take him to the doctor to make sure his organs were still functioning appropriately. I paid $100 for two days with no refund. I emailed the director of the holiday camps about this situation, where she has yet to reply acknowledging the situation.

Overall: Great gym with some high quality cardio machines…read more This will be where I work out instead of the hotel gym every week when I am in town from this point forward. Weights: Small area in the corner of the gym. Obviously not really their target market. It was enough to get through a workout but not what I expect from a YMCA of this size. Cardio: The equipment was high quality. It probably was the most luxury treadmill I have stepped foot on. The rope climbing machine was new for me but wow was it an awesome burn. 3 minutes in to the rope climbing machine at the end of my workout definitely took all of my arm muscles and heart to exhaustion! Pool: Indoor and huge Atmosphere: Strong family atmosphere. It seemed they catered more to the family than the average gym goer. It seemed like a day care with a gym attached almost. Nothing against it but I don't have kids so the daycare wasn't needed for me.

I have been a member of the Heart of the Valley YMCA since 2017, and it has been a wonderful…read moreexperience up until last week. I will say that I love the YMCA as a whole which is why this complaint is addressed to an indivudiual I am single mother of a 12 year old and for that reason I am currently on a scholarship at the YMCA. My daughter has been apart of the youth program since I started going and I must say I am truly disgusted at the experience that happened last week on 6/17. At 3 pm I received a call from Bradley Ruff who is over the summer program and the YMCA. When I answered the phone, he quickly stated to me "What time are you picking up your daughter" I replied is something wrong he then stated yes. He then proceeds to tell me that my child lied in regard to a sunscreen incident that took place the day prior. He stated to me that he took it upon himself to watch the camera and stated that she intentionally sprayed sunscreen in her eye. He then tells me that my child is disrespectful and she " walks the line" . I explained to him that I have had nothing, but good reports and I am not sure what he is talking about. I told him that I would address her in regard to the sunscreen incident he tells me that's not enough and she can't come back to the program. As I stated in the beginning of this complaint, I am a single mother and for him to make this decision that allowed me no time to find child care is completely disgusting to say the least. He even stated to me " we have worked with your daughter" as if he is doing me a favor and I should be grateful! Absolutely not! You are supposed to work with kids! That is your job! To make matter worst this past weekend my daughter was with my mother while she was pumping gas and on the other side was a white male counselor and my daughter saw him she quickly hid her face! She stated that he doesn't like her and yells at her! She also stated that he made her sit out for an entire 4 hours! The YMCA featured me on their page and highlighted that I was a single parent but yet kicked my daughter out of summer camp with no warning or time to find care?! I attended a TRX class at the Y and have been for the last two years which means I have spent a total of $1,080 alone for this class as a single parent! There was a incident two weeks ago where my daughter was in the gym with me, when we left out a rep at the front desk made it her business to ask my how old my daughter was ( mind you she was a few days from turning 12) she told me that she was not old enough to be in the fitness center. Well two weeks after that a white man and his son were in the gym and walked past the same rep that was at the front desk, yet she didn't say anything to them until I called it to her attention! There honestly needs to be some revaluating of the youth program , there are 16 year old working with 12 year old and it is obvious that they do not have the patience for a 12 year old! Brad also told me child to "get out of his office" and called her a liar! I will be cancelling my membership as well

Our children have been attending Ms. Pat's daycare for a little over a year now and we are quite pleased. The staff is compassionate about the children assigned to their classrooms.

This daycare is well diverse, which was key in our daycare search. Security protocols are enforced, we feel as though our children are safe. Give them a call, it was a great decision for us!
