The pool deck and locker room floors are FILTHY. I've been a member since it opened and over the past year(?) it's gotten ridiculous.
5:30 am MWF instructor is awesome - love the group classes - that’s all I’ve tried since I live out of town.
The fitness floor is extremely dirty. It looks like it has been months since the floor has been cleaned. There is no attention to detail and it is an indication that whole facility is not being cleaned appropriately. It is actually the least clean YMCA, or any workout facility, I have been in. It makes me hesitant to use due to sanitary concerns. I would have rated it lower, but there aren't any other workout options in the area. Additionally, the equipment is usable, but it is in rough shape and is in need of maintenance.
The lockers get stuck and are rusty inside. The shower curtains are not wide enough for the opening. And there are no hooks in or near the shower to hang stuff. Basically the womens locker room needs updating

I’ve been a Y member for many years. A place to find good friends and keep you as healthy as possible. A very good habit for daily life.
The facility is clean and inviting. The staff is friendly.
Recommending due to the pool and ability to swim laps early in the morning.
For the price of a membership, it would seem that the gym would have better equipment. Some of the benches are shoddy, and quite old, rusty and wobbly. The equipment is a bit sparse also.
It's a safe clean place to work out. It's nice to have people you see there often working out too.
Have a schedule that has workers (pool) and keep equipment in the work out room in great shape. Esther Gunderson
Making new friends, good classes
Cleanliness and communication is lacking at the Blair YMCA.
More classes and clean the building well and consistently. The air vents in the workout studio are crusted with dust and dirt. In the corners of the bathroom stalls there is THICK gunk and dirt. Care for the grounds - mow, weed, etc. it’s harder to get new members when they tour and this is what they see. Please do not use my name.
Small location and too many kids hanging around inside gym
Most of the pool hours have 6 lanes open for lap swimmers leaving the people who want to use the deeper water for their exercises unavailable when it fills up. Then they have to go to the 4 ft which is too shallow. I think 4-5 lap lanes would be more fair to all. We all pay for membership not just the lap swimmers.
Weekend hours should be longer. You are competing with a 24 hour gym.
There are limited classes offered for people that do not work in Blair and would like to attend classes in Blair. The facility is dirty. How frequently is it cleaned? The lights in the aerobic room have had dead bugs in them for months, there seems to be dust balls and hair on the floor all the time. Does it get dusted, swept or mopped ever? The vents and light fixtures in the women's locker room are filthy and disgusting. The paint is peeling in the shower area. The floor in the locker room is gross.
Had good help initially getting registered. The wide range of amenities there are for all ages, size, and shapes! They also have convenient times for working people and retirees. An overall great place to go for a swim, get in some walking steps, weight room, gym time, etc. Join, you won't be sorry!
I live in a development that is mostly seniors and talking with them I have told them how much fun I have had going to the Y.
I enjoy pickleball, basketball and the weight room. And 24 hour access
Lifeguard attendance needs to improved. Frustrated when they do not show up at all or show up on time. Would like to see better pool hours like how it was in the past.
Clean the cardio equipment at least once a day, preferably twice. Its been lacking in cleanliness this past year!
The night cleaners do an excellent job cleaning.The new maintenance gentlemen gets right on thing. We are noticing a difference keep it up.
I like the silver sneakers membership for senior citizens & also the classes/aquacize classes
