We’ve had such a wonderful experience with the YMCA, especially when it comes to their kids programming. As a family, we always feel welcome from the moment we walk in. There’s consistently a friendly greeting, a smile, and a genuine sense that they’re happy to see us. Any questions we’ve had have always been answered, and every staff member we’ve interacted with has been kind and approachable. What really makes it special, though, is the staff who work directly with our kids, especially Mary Grace, Sarah, Mr. Anthony, and Edwin who have done many programs with them. They are absolutely incredible. Each of them brings something unique, but they all share the same warmth, patience, and ability to truly connect with the kids. They go above and beyond, building relationships, creating a positive environment, and making kids feel seen and valued. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing our child is not only cared for, but genuinely happy and excited to be there. The YMCA has created such a welcoming, positive environment for our family, and we’re so grateful that we joined. It’s honestly been more than a gym. It has become a real community for our family.

While the gym area and equipment are good, and there are wipes around to clean equipment when finished, the women’s locker room is dirty and looks like a high school locker room that is not managed & unkept. Very outdated. Shower area is strange as well. Also, it’s abnormally warm in the gym area. Thank goodness the treadmills at least have fans built in them. I’d get the membership if it weren’t for all of this.

I love the variety of classes and the fact that you can utilize the exercise rooms when a class is not in session. It would be great if information about the computer kiosk outside of the aerobics room was explained via an email link. My favorite classes are Mixxed Fit and Cardio Dance. The gymnasiums are well kept and my teenage boys love playing basketball in there when it is not overrun by pickleball players during open/family gym. The pool area is great during open swim and the water seems to be kept clean. The play area for kids is well run and the staff are very nice. They recognize my daughter every time she comes to hang out. I love how the team members keep on top of kids who are coughing with mask wearing and ensure cleanliness. We love our Dancel YMCA! I think the only draw back is the parking during prime time, but the nice thing is that you can park out back for overflow. You just need to walk a little bit. We are here to exercise anyway, so a few more steps are a-okay!
