Review:
The Southeast Family Center YMCA of the Pikes Peak Region is a centrally located community center offering many perks to its members. The staff is friendly and professional, too.Parking is spacious, the facility is clean and well maintained. This family-centered location is a little smaller than other YMCAs on the north end of town. However, the child care workers area are professional and kind. They offer many activities to keep children entertained while their parents work out.

The fitness studio is almost always occupied with a wide variety of group classes that serve children, adults and seniors. They also offer classes for a multitude of skill levels. The five-week Commit to be Fit program, included in the membership fee, is a personalized program to help people lead healthier lifestyles.

The weight and cardio equipment is modern, sturdy and well maintained. The pools are clean, and the family pool has a water slide and play equipment. The second pool is roped off for lap swimming.

There are large locker rooms with free lockers, changing areas and showers. Additionally, the Southeast YMCA offers several family rooms, designed to offer families privacy while they get dressed in their own space.
