A soon as you walk in they make you feel part of the family. Instead of getting in and getting out(which you can do) you start to want to stay longer. Did not take long for staff to start calling us by name before we even check in. There also is a movie room.(4 treadmills plus stair masters and several bikes) room does not feel cramped and stuffy– Watching a movie on big screen helps time pass while doing cardio. Sometimes get a little more in so you can finish the movie.

This YMCA has a large swimming pool which you can view from the lobby. There is a pretty decent size hot tub as well. They have awesome daycare services. The staff members do a great job of keeping the children entertained and properly supervised. Their cardio and free weight area isn’t cramped. They have plenty of cardio and weight machines to choose from. They also have plenty of free weights. After I complete my cardio, I like to do my weightlifting and toning and then I follow up with abs on the mats. Unfortunately their mat area is rather small. It seems like I always have to wait for folks to finish before I can get over there to do my ab work. I need space when I do my abs, especially when I’m using the large exercise ball. My recommendation would be to provide a larger mat area. You’ll find a very friendly atmosphere here. The staff does an excellent job of maintaining a clean environment.
