Aurora YMCA 6100 South Kewaunee Way, Aurora, CO 80016

"What an amazing facility. The cost is inexpensive and they have everything that you could want."

"Childcare consists of putting movies on all day long, no matter if the children shout, asking to turn it off because there's a scary scene. They refused to turn it off and said their parents allowed it when I asked for no TV at all! *In response to the Y's response. I went to this YMCA just about every single day of the week during morning and evening times, and NEVER did they have "Sing/dance-a-longs", "Enrichment activities", or any other scheduled activities, because it was often chaotic and disorderly. Once, my kids said they played a card game with the caregivers, but all the other times, there was no order; kids climbing over anything, throwing balls, hurting other kids; this is what I had seen weekly for 3 months. I am baffled at the lies in their response. If they mean teenagers busy on their phones as "trained caregivers", then they need a different kind of training."

"Childcare at this YMCA consists almost exclusively of watching movies, some of which I surmise many parents would object to if they were cognizant of what the children are exposed to (the selection is likely based on preferences of the teenagers looking after childcare). We have attended this YMCA for months and had a pleasant experience. We kindly asked for the television to be off for every visit requiring childcare. On one occasion recently it was turned off in front of the parent, and then turned back on immediately when the parent left to exercise. This had not happened to our knowledge the previous two dozen or so times. Our request had always been respectfully heard. The last time our family went to the YMCA, for the first time they refused to turn the television off at all. Other parents may find no objection to this YMCA's "childcare". I would at least encourage you to take responsibility for the content your children are exposed to here - don't expect discretion from staff. Other YMCA's in the area may provide much better childcare service - such a critical blessing to families with young children, allowing the parents time to exercise. Your children are worth the longer commute!"

"We love the Y! The classes are awesome! They have yoga, barre, High fitness, Pilates, body pump, total body conditioning, body combat, cycling and so much more! Our kids are becoming excellent swimmers through their swim lesson program and we love family swim as it’s a wonderful indoor pool to have so close by. Kids night out is also great! They love making crafts with the Y staff and having dinner and activities while we go out for a date night. So many fun things to do at the Y and the staff is so positive and helpful. Check it out when you get a chance!"

"About a month since it opened! The facility, the equipment, the staff all are exceptional! Our kids enjoy their swim lessons, my wife and I enjoy the options for classes and the personalized training program! Remember to get yourself the fitness bands that applies your profile and tracks your activity, if you haven’t already, schedule a walk through and download the app for a more curated workout experience!! This is a much needed facility after an year of lockdowns and restrictions!! Thanks YMCA!"
