Three stars because I lost like 20lbs going there. It was expensive for a family membership to a facility that isn’t open during convenient hours. I liked that I could leave my kids at the pool and go upstairs, but it seemed like a lot of other parents did the same and the kids all learned the worst of the worst from each other. Cancelled the membership and went to anytime fitness for the duration of my stay in Grants Pass. No pool for the kiddos, but it was fine. Final thought: it really needs some febreeze in the worst possible way.

I’ve been a member of three YMCA’s now, and this is the nicest. Its a great facility, but it is a YMCA… meaning you have a big mix of folks, from lots of little kids to seniors doing classes. I usually am in the weight room, and it has all the basic equipment, nothing too fancy. 1 deadlift platform, 2 benchpresses, the freeweights are seemingly in an odd weight classification, ending in .2 and .5, all the circuit room machine type stuff; but it all gets the job done. Some places might be bigger and better if you are coming from a major metropolitan area, but this YMCA is pretty on point for the population of the area it is in.

We are loving The Y. My six y.o. has enjoyed day camp. We all enjoy the salt water swimming pool. Husband likes the equipment in both the weight room and cardio room. The people are friendly. Membership is a little pricey, but with the indoor swimming pool, we feel like we’ll get a lot of use out of it.

Excellent place with a huge weight room, pool, training rooms for classes, and many other facilities. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. There is a wide range of classes to take and group activities to participate. All in all, a good place to have a membership at.

The YMCA has a couple basketball courts, a climbing gym with individuals to belay you at anytime, a large swimming pool with designated lap swim lanes, plenty of free weights and machines to use in the weight room, and a cardio room. There are also locker rooms strictly for 19+ individuals, and there are multiple classes to take. I only took a yoga class once due to timing of the class, but it was pretty good for being included in the monthly membership. I’d continue to use this gym if I was going to stick around in GP. My only issue is that the age distribution is bimodal, really young kids or young teenagers and relatively old individuals. Not many people to chat with for me. I think a month’s membership is ~$ 50.
