5-star

One decrement could be Indoor basketball court size/walking zone. The other is no hot tub. The rest of the facility is top notch.

I agree with other reviewers about friendliness of staff. Very pleasant. Kudos. This shows outstanding management.

I find YMCA pools somewhat warm. This one was warm but not excessively hard to workout in (better). Nice water quality. Kudos again. Sauna but no hot tub.

It has every kind of equipment you will need for a good workout. Have been going the for over 10 years. They have renovated and updated equipment over the last 2 years.

The South City YMCA is a nice facility. The staff is friendly and the facility is clean. There are many machines for working out. They have both weight machines and free weights. There are about three studios for group exercise, or spinning.

They offer a wide variety of courses, and you have to sign up on your app. You cannot sign up for an entire series; but each individual session. until 24 hours in advance, so it doesn’t allow to plan ahead for long-term. It has a gym with one main basketball court and the running track requires 19 laps to complete a full mile. It has a swimming pool with a few lanes and an area for wading or walking or water aerobics. I do appreciate they provide a variety of locker options, including ones where you customize the combination, so you don’t need to bring a lock. There is a sauna and a steam room.

I’d give it a five if it had more basketball courts, a larger walking track also more monitors you can see or hear. Most of the monitors on the machines don’t work, so bring your own entertainment.
