It is also clean and well maintained. It has a lot of studios that other LAF's don't have, like a HIIT studio and a pilates studio. Also, there is a personal trainer area that is pretty massive. What sets this place apart for me is the proper Olympic setups in the back (weights and racks), for those of us that like cleans, deadlifts, squats, etc. There is a ton of equipment and freewieghts, so there is plenty for everyone to use without having to wait much, if at all. There is also plenty of parking, so parking the car will not be an issue.

First lets talk about parking - I am a parking snob, I need free parking (preferably a private lot) to go back to a place over and over again. MHF has a shared lot behind them and free street parking for several blocks around them. I have never had to park far away, hooray! I have had a couple sessions now, one with Lonn and one with Evie. Lonn is very good at making sure you are doing everything correctly, which is one thing I am so unsure of all the time, and you don't want to hurt yourself. He really kept you moving but also noticed when you needed a little break and gave you a minute to recoup, if necessary. My fat butt needed a lot of breaks. Evie does such a great job of keeping you motivated with her variety of activities and always upbeat fun attitude. She is a hoot and still makes sure you are doing everything right. I like that she helps you with modifying the exercise if you need it, too. They both do such a great job keeping you on track and not getting complacent or bored with what you are doing. I never knew how to do some of the exercises, so I also feel like I am learning while having fun. As a side note, I burned around 600 calories for a one hour session. Clearly this will be different for everyone, but it gives you a good starting point. Sore for days, hurts so good.

Immediately was hooked. I ended up getting the 4 classes per month membership and it's plenty to keep me engaged without burning out. Literally, because these classes are insanely hard. Overall facilities are nice, I wish there were showers or even more than just 2 bathrooms because I'd prefer to take a class before heading into the office but do need to get ready. It also gets a little cramped in there sometimes. I get that classes fill up so having the extra machine or two can make a difference, but there are times I feel like I might be holding hands with my neighbor.

Parking is easy, which already sets it apart from most places in the area. The equipment is well-maintained, with plenty of machines and free weights so you're not waiting around. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help without being pushy. The locker rooms are spotless, with good showers and enough space, which makes getting in and out smooth. What I really appreciate is how family-friendly the whole place is. The kids' areas, classes, and pool setup make it a great option if you're trying to balance fitness and family time. It's hard to find a gym that truly gets both right -- but this one does. Overall, this YMCA is consistently reliable, clean, and well-run. Whether you're working out, taking classes, or bringing the kids, it's one of the best community gyms in the area. Highly recommend.
