About Briggs Community YMCA
Briggs Community YMCA offers a variety of programs and amenities for families, including youth enrichment classes and a family membership option. The facility features an activity pool, clean pools, and well-maintained equipment. Staff members are friendly and welcoming. The pools are great, and the lifeguarding staff run an orderly lap swim, even when crowded, with everyone being polite and cooperative. The gym has recently undergone renovations and includes two pools, a basketball court, a rock climbing wall, a kids area, and multiple workout spaces. The equipment is in good shape, and visitors enjoy working out upstairs with fresh air. The YMCA also offers many classes at very reasonable prices, including senior programs, making it a welcoming place for a wide range of ages. While some classes can be overcrowded and the gym spaces may feel a bit cramped, the overall environment is positive. Staff is always friendly and eager to help, making it easy to sign up and participate. The hot tub hours are limited, but the facility remains a great place for families to spend time together and stay active.
I started exercising to help my recovery from a fall from which my left foot and ankle were injured, followed by my back from wearing a stabilizing boot for two months. The boot raised my injured foot higher than any pair of shoes I could compensate with on my right foot. The class was recommended by my physical therapist. I have found that not only does the class I am in help with my injuries, but also with my balance and strength. The class leader is attentive to everyone who participates and communicates with each of us to alert us to changes in scheduling or facility maintenance and remodeling. All staff at the Y have been accommodating and helpful.
When we first started kid zone my daughter had a hard time adjusting, she would cry and throw tantrums and I wouldn’t get much of a work out in- however we kept coming back and with time for adjustment and the staffs help she absolutely loves going to kid zone, the staff are amazing and I feel love my daughter for her authentic self 🩷
The pool at Briggs is just the right temperature for lap swimming. Briggs also has a separate activity pool with classes. The staff at the Briggs are welcoming and friendly.
I like the recent upgrades in the women's locker room.
