Review:
Though the teen center is still being renovated, this YMCA facility is vibrant and alive with activity. From a constant basketball game in the gymnasium, to spin classes, yoga, kickboxing and step aerobics classes, there are activities to suit any age and fitness level.
The front desk staff is friendly and informative. Teachers and trainers are willing to answer questions and help guests get the most out of their individual workouts.
In addition to children's swim classes and a swim team, the facility also offers adult swimming and water aerobics classes. There are usually lap-lanes available for swimmers; but, it is a good idea to call ahead regarding pool availability, particularly for free-swim.
The weight equipment is well-maintained and offers a workout for every muscle group. All cardio machines come equipped with individual monitors where users can plug in head phones to access cable television programs or insert a DVD to watch a movie during their workouts.
Locker rooms are basic, but serviceable and clean. Personal belongings should be secured before leaving the locker room.
