About McCormick YMCA

The McCormick YMCA is a well-run and efficient facility with friendly and helpful staff. The gym is always clean, with plenty of free parking and a convenient location adjacent to the 606 Walking Trail. The folks at the front desk are very helpful, and members are generally respectful and nonpretentious, making it easy to meet new people and make friends. The gym offers a range of equipment, including machines and weights, as well as steam rooms, pools, and great instructors. The pools area is clean, with swimming lessons available and well attended, ensuring a great student to staff ratio for safety. The family swim is a great option, with a warm and comfortable pool area that is not too crowded. The family locker room is super convenient and clean, featuring private rooms, hair dryers, bathing suit dryers, and hot showers. The Aquafitness class is also a highlight, with instructors like Rene who focus on both physical and mental well-being. Overall, the McCormick YMCA is a great deal with a welcoming atmosphere, despite some members missing the community feel of the past.

    Friendly staff and patrons, clean facility, and never too busy. There’s always equipment available, plus they have Peloton bikes which I love. Plenty of parking and bike racks, and it’s just at the end of the 606. They also have a pool (currently closed for deep cleaning), but overall a great place to work out!

    Great YMCA to be apart of! It’s very clean and has everything you need there. The staff are amazing! Specifically Joey, he went out of his way to help whenever I had any questions. Highly recommend!

    Love this place so much. For $40/month you're getting a great bang for your buck; spacious facilities that include a basketball court, pool, steam room, and, of course, gym. The people working the front-desk are SO friendly. Today, a woman literally chased me down because she accidentally gave me $5 less in change than she was meant to. May not seem like a lot, but it was genuinely a very kind, thoughtful gesture.
