I love the classes and my husband prefers using the machines. Both of us have made many friends there. The folks working there are tops, no matter what their rank.
Never packed when I go, makes getting in, getting work done and getting on with my day fairly easy.
Older facility. Friendly staff! Clean equipment. Variety of equipment. Large selection of heavy free weights. Difficult to find smaller ones (5#, 7.5#, 12.5#).
Kids Zone is clean with a variety of activities for them. You can actually see inside to check on them.
I have to admit out of going to all the Wichita area Ys this one I almost always have a great experience at. I often am greeted when coming in, which is not common at many of the other locations. They usually always have towels available here as well with no waiting. Usually not busy late at night.
Don't even bother wasting your money at the aquatic park if your child is under 8 years old. They can't do anything but play in the baby pool AND yes AND a parent must be in the pool with them. I get this if your child is an infant but mine is almost 7 years old and passed their swim test. I will definitely drive 10 more mile south next time and spend less money to take them to Rock River Rapids where they can be kids and swim! It is a much nicer place anyway!
Jason was Awesome and explaining everything in detail I'm glad I signed up I look forward to be able to go there and be a part of the YMCA thank you Jason
The staff is so friendly and always welcoming. The equipment is in great shape. The facility is very clean! The only reason I ever go to the south side is to workout here and it's worth the drive 🙂
The staff is wonderful and they even attempt to get to know you and your children. Very friendly place. Clean place to workout at.
This place pissed me off once do to insufficient training of employees. Other than that still a place to workout with all of you recreational needs. In door track, as well as pools for both inside and outside, free weights with a good amount of benchs and machines, lots of treadmills and bikes. Spacious room for yoga and martial arts. Great courts for basket ball and kids to do what they do. Again had one bad experience here but still a decent place to workout.
Great facility but in the family locker rooms it reeks of pee and the smell is extremely strong some bleach is needed on those shower floors.
Great place to work out. I'm one of those gym "lugs" everyone seems to despise. I don't care. I don't let people built like malnourished children, or overweight blobs of human tissue, influence my lifting.
My wife and I joined the Y a few weeks ago because of the daycare "kids place" option that would let us work out while not having to worry about the kids. The south Y is the closest to our home, so we've been coming here.
2 days ago my wife was there and dropped the kids off at the daycare to go workout. Ten minutes later she was told that she had to take the kids home because they had lice. We checked them and there were no lice. We did a treatment anyways.
Today, Child Protective Services shows up to our house and said that we've been reported for malnutrition and lice! I was at work, my wife was understandably emotionally distraught at the imposing man from a service known for taking children away from their homes at our house. The CPS agent made our kids line up for inspection and he said there were NO lice and our kids were obviously well fed. He has to come back in 2 weeks for a follow-up before he can close the case.
I ABSOLUTELY CANNOT believe the YMCA reported my family to Child Protective Services!!! I am furious. We will NOT be returning to this branch.
