The Burlington, lowa YMCA is terrible and it doesn't matter if you work there or have kids attend…read morethings there. My family did both. They pay $8.00/hr so you have teenagers running the gymnastics facility and the gym manager is passive when it comes to feedback. She tells the whole group in general, instead of holding the person doing it accountable. DO NOT GO TO WORK AT THE GYMNASTICS FACILITY! Also you are not allowed in but once a session to see what your child is learning. To me, that says they are trying to hid something. I pay the YMCA but not allowed to watch my child learn. The main YMCA isn't any better and wants me to make me pay more after I have paid tuition in advance for 10 months. Now they add more fees. If it is paid for you shouldn't add more on the rate I already paid in advance. This place is a rip off and will not give me money back in fees that were collected but not used yet towards the purpose they were supposed to be used for. Best advise...DRIVE FARTHER AND FIND A BETTER FACILITY FOR YOU KIDS!!! AND DO NOT GO TO WORK AT THIS YMCA!
