Kokomo Family YMCA

"Please fix the pool area! This facility has so many problems with the pool. The chemicals are frequently imbalanced causing pool closures, the pool heater is broken again, the steam room is down, the swimsuit water extractor is broken and has been for a month. If this YMCA could fix the ongoing problems with the pool then it would be a 5-star location."

"I used to say I’d pay double what they charge to be there. Now I can’t say the same at all. My minor child had a photo taken of her by staff. As well as staff memebers spreading lies about her and another CHILD. I tried to address it with Nick Glover. He made it very clear he did not care and hung on me. The YMCA website has an entire segment of their site dedicated to the protection of children. What I was looking for was management having a refresher conversation with their employees about this. Because I feel like if warned again it may stop. He made it very clear child safety doesn’t matter. I did let Nick know that I do not know who took the picture at this facility but in the event I find out I’ll be back with a lawyer. Because his attitude is absolutely unacceptable. It lets me know anything could happen to my child in this facility and he would probably hang up on me. Edit after reading several other reviews with the same problem Nick acted like I was crazy about. I will be cancelling my membership and voicing this concern to every person who asks me about. This is not a one off. This is the culture at Kokomo “Family” YMCA. Sounds like Nick here might be the problem. If their management doesn’t care most likely they won’t either. Not a single person lifting a finger to change it either. Sad. I hope you all have daughters."

"I love the Y. The child watch is very helpful for times a babysitter is needed while working out. I love the number of machines there are to lift weights. The workers are thoughtful and very helpful. They keep the Y clean. Now, if some patrons would do the same, it would be even better. They offer lots of classes as well and have a play pool for the kids."

"I come to the gym to release stress from my day/life. I mind my business and have been a loyal member for several years now. It’s unfortunate that I can’t wear a sports bra that covers me just fine without being sexualized by staff and told to put on a shirt. Men walk around with low cut tank tops that show a decent amount of their chest and back and that’s totally acceptable, but not when it’s a woman. I find this to be extremely derogatory and rude especially when it isn’t causing any harm to others, meanwhile there are younger children hurting themselves and goofing off in the weight section and nothing is done about it. Figure out your priorities. I have no problem finding another place to workout, you’re the one losing a member."

"This place is awsome!!!! Run, exersize , swim all year long. No matter what the weather is. Nice people. Temperature controlled. 4 levels of parking. Elevators in the y and in parking. Tv's while working out. Large oval track on second floor overlooks pool. Every weight machine and free weights. Stair stepper.racket ball court. Basket ball court in basement. Great view all over. I got a free membership from my silver sneakers health insurance by humana."
