Kraft YMCA

Boyfriend and I are trying to find a convenient gym to join so we checked out the Kraft YMCA. We did a tour and they gave us a pass to try the gym out twice.
Pros:
–Staff is friendly
–Lockers are available (the key comes on a pin that you can hook to your clothes)
–Outdoor pool (I wish they had an indoor pool too but not at this location)
–Indoor track, this is probably what I like the most
–Basketball courts that are also used for volleyball and futsal
–Classes are available
–Tons of workout options available
–Price
Cons:
–Depending on the time and day, can get crowded
–Sunday hours are 12 to 6, I wish they opened earlier
–This gym is daycare/​family oriented so you will see a lot of children
Now the great debate of which gym do we join.

Beautiful, clean facility with bright rooms. Love the pool area and covered picnic tables too. I came here twice for instructor training workshops. Instructors are passionate about what they do and seem very knowledgable. Easy parking and location.

Such a great place to work out. Qualified and helpful instructors, amazing child care and wonderful swim staff. Proud member!

I love this gym. I have been going at least three days a week for 6 months now. Well worth the money. Body pump is great. Staff is very motivating and they have a wide variety of programs you can join depending on your interests. Only area of concern I have is that staff is very young and sometimes just not helpful. While training for a triathlon I always had to ask that they ask the pool «water waders» to float somewhere other than the lap swim lane. They are reserved for a reason.
Will be going here long term.

Nice, clean facilities. However, do you like Zumba? Well, so does everyone else. I joined for the awesome Zumba classes but now I rarely ever go to them. The reason– it is so crowded! The studio is not big enough to house that many people. There have literally been 40+ people in a single Zumba class. You can’t move around and do the moves all out like you’re supposed to, and Heaven forbid you have to navigate through the crowd of people to go grab your water bottle. You risk getting hit in the face as there is no room to navigate a safe route. I’ve moved on to the cycling class where at least I can have some kind of personal space. The machines upstairs are new and nice and there’s rarely a wait to use them. I find the staff friendly.

Always clean facilities and friendly staff. I go here to work out but my son also goes here for after-​school care and track out care. The counselors are nice and my son is always excited to go and sad to come home. I see that as a good thing :)
