The music in the gym is played so loud that you can’t hear music or news with your own headphones. Older members don’t need the music so loud and younger members almost always have their own headphones and/or music so it’s hard to understand why it is so loud. Why did they install all new equipment with monitors if you have to blast the sound in your ears to hear it over the gym music? How about no music in the gym 8:00 am to 10:00 am as a compromise?

So disappointed in the youth basketball league. My grandsons were both looking forward to learning skills and sportsmanship. I loved that the kids even take an oath before the game to reinforce the values. But, alas, that’s just a facade for a disorganized, poor leadership, cheaper club team that relegates new players to teams that are absolutely slaughtered. Those young kids deserve better but learned a powerful lesson. They may never play again but they sure know how to spot poor sportsmanship where the scores are run up to shame the team of beginners by the kids that have been obviously playing together for years. Validated when I asked a few parents on the opposing team. Shame on you YMCA for shattering 2 boys passion and live of the game.

This YMCA is very nice. There's plenty to do for a range of interests, a tremendous gymnasium with full B-Ball and Pickleball courts, a spacious workout facility, and large outdoor pool. The exercise machines are brand new (2025), smart and intuitive. They also have a host of wonderful professional trainers, as well as many programs for children of all ages.
