Watertown Family YMCA Community Center

"New YMCA is really clean and beautiful. They have a sauna, steam room, pool, splash pad, and eating area for families. They have kids watch for military and members as well. Sam downtown was really helpful in explaining the programs."

"Really disappointed in the new YMCA. My husband and I came here 2 weeks after it opened and theres no lockers to use (there are only 8 day use lockers and the rest are padlocked), the weightroom is TINY and only has a couple sets of DB racks and 1 cable machine, and you have to pay to use towels?? I've been a YMCA member my whole life (including other states) and I've never had to pay for towels. Needless to say, my first workout here was incredibly rushed and frustraing. Theres no space to do any free weight activity and its cluttered up with a bunch of machines that people sit on to text. The ONLY redeeming quality of the new YMCA is the pool. Pool area is clean, well organized and the locker rooms are nice...if only there was a locker to use, I'd like it more! Think I'll stick with the fairgrounds location."

"Not impressed at all. The place/floors were filthy likes days of not sweeping especially the stairs. It felt dirty in the place. They're staff as well as their pool director has a very bad attitude. Funny thing is, she's the one that made the mistake. But when their leadership has a bad attitude, I guess it's expected their staff would have the same attitude."

"Brenna is the worst instructor for children. She told my children’s class that if they didn’t keep swimming, they would be punished with “additional swimming”! I want my child to enjoy swimming, not hate it. She also only taught the older ones from outside the pool. It was basically an endurance class rather than perfecting their stroke! Don’t waste your time. She is the worst ever!!!!"
