Home sweet Y.
But they need another gym and more exercise rooms. This y is tiny. Only 1 gym for everything. 1 exercise room, the other is permanently occupied with the bikes. Workout room is spacious and nicer then HRH Y bit the free weight area is tight. This is home though and the fam loves it.

My experience with this YMCA has just been with the pool. It’s a nice pool with lots of lanes. If there are a lot of people there you’ll have to lane share, but I’ve never had a problem with it. The locker rooms and showers are nice as well. I don’t really know much of anything about the rest of the facility.

So far I have come here to use the lap pool to train for a triathlon. The facilities are clean, which is super important in a locker room! I wish the showers for the ladies were nicer and more updated, but it does the trick. In the pools, they have a closet with swim gear for those who wish to powerhouse their workout… or if you’re like me, you just swim laps without it!
In all, I’ve enjoyed coming up here to this Y. They are always busy and it’s hard to find a spot with all the mountains of snow, but that’s a good thing right? The staff is friendly and it seems the community enjoys coming here. Can’t wait to try out a class or two!

A friend took me here as a guest. ($ 8/​day guest fee.) He says they pay only $ 40/​month for him, his wife and their son.
They have a gymnasium, swimming pool, fitness classroom, spinning room (bicycles), kids fitness area, and adult weight/​exercise machine room.
I was impressed by how clean everything was kept. I was also impressed by the newness and variety of the exercise machines and cardio machines. They have a full complement of free weights, many Sybex weight machines, treadmills, various types of ellipticals, stationary bikes, recumbent stationary bikes, and 2 rowing machines. Lots of TV’s, and many cardio machines have a built in TV. All the machines are fairly new, with whiz-​bang programs in the cardio machine.
We wore our heart-​monitor chest straps, and they were compatible with the machines.
If i lived closer I’d likely join.
My friend says it’s worth the drive for the children’s programs.
