A well organized and clean facility that makes physical exercise a pleasure. The friendly and accommodating staff made my first couple visits efficient and easy to get into my workout routine. The equipment and the facility is well maintained. Everything works and there is enough duplication of equipment so there is no down time. Overall an excellent workout experience and I am proud to be a member of the Christian Street YMCA.

I love going to the pool. My only suggestion is they open up two lanes instead of one when it’s family swim because it’s usually not enough room and that the registration process for summer camp and after school be a little more responsive because I’ve been trying to get my son into the program for a long time.
