Fort Meigs YMCA

"This is the 3rd time I've showed up when it says "Open Gym" on the schedule and it actually isn't. I don't appreciate having to drive 15-20 minutes just to have to turn around because the schedule is wrong. If it says "Open Gym", I expect the gym to be open, not overrun with pickleball. Do better."

"Today (December 6th 2023) at around 5pm, my friend and I came in to the YMCA after being turned away from planet fitness because my friend is too young. We decided to see if the Y (seeing that it is a family organization) would allow a 16 year old to lift in their gym if day passes were available to purchase. Being unfamiliar with how subscription works at the Y, we weren’t sure if a day pass was possible but we decided to go in and make sure. When I walked in and asked, an older woman at the front desk very rudely snapped “no we don’t do that here” at me, almost yelling. Taken aback, I apologized and the younger woman gracefully swooped in and explained how membership worked. She was lovely, she is why I have given three stars. I am tired of being treated differently by older employees because they assume young people won’t speak up. I will. I understand that workers aren’t robots and I would like to give this woman the benefit of the doubt. I am writing because I hope this treatment of people does not continue."

"After over a year, now this "family friendly" YMCA will not let my son use the track upstairs because "there is equipment on the track." I have seen so many other kids using weight equipment who are far younger than 13, but for some reason my son gets kicked off the track. I can only think of one reason.... I left a message for the GM to call me back and he had the audacity to EMAIL me and never returned my 2nd phone call. This place had treated my black son and I like second class citizens. How is it family friendly to not let kids use the track while their parents can keep an eye on them? Pathetic. Do better."

"People were very nice and explained what was needed to start a membership. Very clean and easy access to workout machines."

"They have recently updated the fitness center with new equipment and more weight racks. Really excited to be back and lifting heavy! The Kid Zone is great and my kids are always excited to go there."
