Armbrust YMCA

I am very glad to live next to a gym like this. The employees are nice, the facility is clean, and there are many programs and classes you can do. My only problem is how expensive everything is. It is $ 5 every time you go and up to $ 60 an hour for a class. If you frequently go, I would highly suggest getting a membership (No more entering fees and cheaper classes).

I moved out here from Seattle earlier this year and transferred my Y membership. I have to say, the Y’s out here aren’t nearly as nice as the Y’s back home, and memberships are about the same but you get a lot less here. There are no sauna’s or hot tubs, and at the locations that have them they charge you to use them.
Here are the Pros: Its really geared towards families, so you get people that are really there to workout and not just take up space. It’s clean, and they recently upgraded cardio equipment.
Here are the cons: the gym area is TINY, the locker rooms are tiny, there is a ton of space they could have used that the gym area is in real need for, there’s a random outside patio area that has the door blocked by cardio equipment, the gym could really use this extra space (I know that’s the developers issue, but they need to look into a remodel), there are massive hallways, there’s a giant vending machine block smack in the middle of the gym, huge classrooms, play areas, etc. Really everything in this gym is quite large in area except the gym itself. There is no stretching area, you have to do it out in the hallway, barley any free weight area, if you want to use the TRX bands you have to share with the people using the squat machine, because they are attached to it. Because it is so small, it is always crowded, trainers hold small classes in the already cramped gym, cardio machines are always full, and finding space for a workout if its with free weights, or even just to do sit-​ups is impossible, because there is literally zero free space, its all walkways and machines. The cardio equipment though new and with screens is not hooked up to any television provider, and the sound on the music that is provided on it rarely works. There are also no sauna’s or hot tubs at this location, as I stated above there is at other locations but you are charged extra to use it.
The Y downtown is much larger but it is old, dingy, and the machines are dated. And like I stated above, if you want to use the sauna or hot tub, you have to pay and with the memberships as pricy as they are, having to pay more for this is ridiculous, especially at a rundown location.

Top. notch facility. Pool, daycare, bball, aerobics etc. all in a new layout and updated building.
As a member you enjoy some perks of kid care, and discounted rates; including private swim lessons. We typically use private swim lessons in early Spring, to get the kids acclimated for summer swim pools.
