What People Are Saying About Ymca

In Short – The first U.S. branch of the YMCA started in Boston in 1851; there are now more than 2,500 locations nationwide, making it the country's largest nonprofit community service program. Each YMCA reflects the community it's in, offering differing services based on the area. Most include fitness areas with aerobic equipment, classes and racquetball and tennis courts. Many also have day care and after-school programs, as well as summer day camps.

Good group fitness classes, yucky locker rooms

A plus to the Y: you can use your membership to have access to a YMCA anywhere in the country. I've used it everywhere from the Oak Square branch in Brighton (rock-climbing wall) to the fancy one on New York City's east side.
A downside: the locker rooms (women's and girl's) are not so classy. For the girls, especially, no privacy at all for changing and there are frequently young boys in there. The boys should be using the family changing room. No private or semi-private swimming lessons available.
- Pros: Affordable, good hours, good instructors
- Cons: There is always some equipment broken in fitness room
