I just like coming to this presentable, clean, and friendly gym. I need help/ discount on the monthly fee to use the swimming pool, senna, spa room and gym facilities. Over the past 15years, this place was my family of five, favorite hang out spot and now with my kids grown, it's my "Heaven". The staff are knowledgeable about the different events taken place and other resources available to help senior like myself. That all I need to feel safe!

I never leave review but this seriously bad problem! I go to sauna today around 10am. Usually I go evening time, but today I go morning because I want make sure nobody mess with temperature sensor and make sauna too damn hot. But same problem again. When I get there, temperature very hot already close to 190°F and sensor all wet. Somebody poor water on it, very clear. I sit outside for 15 minute, hope temperature go down. But no, when I check again, it close to 210!!!! I say what the hell and leave right away. I no want what happen to poor man last week happen to me. I sure YMCA know about incident. Sauna was like 210-220°F when that guy faint, fall and hit head. He very confuse and EMT take him out. I hope he okay but make me very disappointed YMCA still no take this serious. I already complain this problem three or four time. I tell them about those damn gringos always mess with sauna but they do nothing. So this time I just leave, no want headache. I think it no do anything! If man almost die not make them care, it useless. Only reason I still have membership because sauna help my medical condition and body pain. But I no want heart attack or hurt bad just because they let

I am so happy that I became a member! The energy of the atmosphere is goodness. The staff are friendly and professional, and for the most part members are happy. (There's always one or two angry or stubborn dorks😆) But here, even they are appreciated by the YMCA. Clean facilities. Very clean water and relaxation amenities 🙂 Nice courts and well enjoyed too. Great kids activities! Im happy at the YMCA.

Update: After closing the sauna for weeks, the best solution the Y came up with is putting a plastic basket on top of the sensor. That is not a fix—it’s incompetence. Management has known about this dangerous problem for years and still hasn’t solved it. Now the same people who always tamper with the sensor are dumping water on it, making the situation even more dangerous. Two days ago, an older man nearly passed out when the temperature reached close to 200 degrees. How many warnings do you need before you take real action? Regular members know exactly who keeps causing this problem. Why haven’t you revoked their memberships? Do your job before someone gets seriously hurt. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This YMCA location is exposing itself to significant legal and liability risk due to a clear and ongoing failure to enforce basic safety standards in its sauna. Yesterday, the sauna temperature reached 205°F, a level that presents a foreseeable risk of serious injury. This was not a random malfunction—it resulted from members deliberately tampering with the temperature sensor by covering it with wet pap
