The staff is friendly, the hours try to meet everyone's schedules, and the areas are clean.
Deeper cleaning is needed!
Always greeted upon coming into the ‘y’, which is great. And it is always clean. That scores big for me.
The locker rooms are not maintained nor clean
I go to several of the area YMCAs, based on my schedule for the day. This is the only Y that has not brought back (hand) towel service since COVID.
In the past, we were offered full week or 3-day a week options. Also, they used to take the kids on weekly outings/excursions to the zoo, Fremont water park, local farm, etc. While we paid an additional fee for the weekly outing, it was at a minimal cost ranging from $10 - $20.
Cleanliness! Pick up the place. Clothes, shoes, water bottles, wipes laying around all the time. There has been a pile of clothes in the drop area of the gym since winter. See hair and dust floating around fitness area.
The showers and locker rooms look badly worn.
The kids really enjoy having so many activities to do.
Increase hours, make fees competitive with anytime fitness.
Need to do a better job of repairing equipment in the fitness center in a timely manner. Front counter personal are always friendly and helpful.
No walking track
Lots of different activities. I use the pool and aqua class for weekly workouts and love that.
Workout equipment is in pretty poor condition, repairs take a while and there is only one of each machine, and the free weight benches get moved all over the place (not just the flat or raisable benches, but the bench press, preacher curl, etc. we have to readjust them often.
Weights are never put back where they belong or organized in any way.
The other amenities are great to have👍🏼
I think you guys are doing a great job. The service at the front desk has been awesome. The machines are repaired and working properly. That’s really important. The bathrooms are clean and the sauna is nice. I wish you had a nice Jacuzzi that is one thing that would be awesome. I think that’s a big miss
I am very likely to recommend the Y to the community, to family and friends. It's accesible to most people and with the option of using other Y's it is easy to take advantage of their programs when one is not at the 'home' Y.
I would like to see more programs for disabled athletes. If I remember corrrectly, it was in the original
Friendly staff
The staff are always welcoming & the equipment is clean. I really enjoy the pool & swim classes
One of the top reasons I recommend the YMCA is the sense of community. I have found so many encouraging people to chat with and willing to share their stories. Each time I go I learn something new about our community, about an exercise technique, or enjoy a laugh. The YMCA is not only about physical fitness, it is about building friendships and encouraging each other. Iron sharpeneth iron.
Very nice place and usually not too crowded! Very clean and friendly staff! However some of the machines in the gym have been broken for months so that is a little frustrating since it’s not that big of a gym. One of the bike pedals has been broken since January! Otherwise would totally recommend!!!!
locker rooms are pretty terrible. worst I have seen in any YMCA I have been to or been a member of in 52 years.
Gym is nice. Weight room is nice. Outside volleyball sand courts used to be great...but been neglected for years.
The staff is great but the equipment is outdated and needs rehauled. The weights for the classes are falling apart and machines in the weight room have been out of service for months.
There are middle age kids that "play" on the machines without any supervision and potentially break equipment. There is not an age limit enforced so many times it feels like a kids playground instead of a gym.
The classes are awesome and instructors are top notch, but after visiting some other day locations Blair is somewhat of a let down.
Appreciate the pool area hours opening up to every day at 5:30’am.
Within last 3 months, there have been at least 3 situations where guard hasn’t showed up in the morning until after 6:15. I now bring a pair of shoes and shorts to walk in tread mill for when this happens again. Other swimmers and people whose the sauna are much more upset when this occurs. It seems to have become the norm over the last few years (very rare before 2020)
The Blair YMCA is very conveniently located for me (1/2 mile from home), which is the only reason I’m still there. I have seen my membership costs steadily increase—and still there seems to be consistently non-functioning equipment (treadmills; toilet), empty supplies (tissues, hand soap/sanitizer), and not always ideally cleaned shared work out spaces (same hair or discarded paper on the floor for days in a row). I made a single attempt at requesting better access to hand soap in the restrooms and was told (politely) by staff WHAT I COULD DO to fix the issue myself. I do not work at the Y.
I’m trying to make better use of my membership to temper some of the cost/benefit gripes I have with my local Y by exploring amenities at other locations. I hope to do this over the summer to help guide decision-making about whether to keep my membership by the fall.
nice facility, friendly staff. I have already recommended you to other people
