    So grateful for the YMCA staff today. I dropped my ring in the pool and panicked a bit, but Juan quickly figured out where it was and Westley helped retrieve it, even though it wasn’t easy. They were incredibly kind, helpful, and quick to act. Moments like this are why the YMCA feels like more than a gym. Thank you so much.

    Love love love this Y. Clean, beautiful facilities, super friendly and helpful employees, no attitude from anyone, great equipment, nice classes. In addition to the pool there’s a jacuzzi, steam room, and dry sauna. Wish the pool and stretching area was bigger but you can’t have it all!

    A really good place to workout. There are a lot of exercise equipment in the gym. The pool looks spectacular too. I will be coming back here every Saturday to work out. It has a nice view of the bridge too
