Clark County Family YMCA

I’ve had a family membership here for about a year. There are some things I really like about this club and I have been going here 3 times a week with my son for the last 6 months. He’s nine and they let him swim while I workout which is really nice. There are some things that are disappointing compared to other YMCA clubs I have visited. No towel service for one.
There have been several issues here where they are very tenacious about the rules. Occasionally a smart person can see that a rule is less efficient or less safe than other actions. They don’t tolerate discussing rules or compromising when your way is clearly better. They will even acknowledge that a rule is stupid but say it has to be followed because it’s the rule. If you can’t give me one single reason why the rule makes sense and you agree that the rule may be stupid then why do I have to follow it when I have a legitimate reason not to?
Do you do the thing that is less convenient just because there’s a rule that makes no sense? Do you do the thing that is less safe for your child just because a child ¹⁄₃ your age says it’s a rule? Well you do if you want to be a member at this club. Oh yeah and the rules aren’t consistent. Something doesn’t matter one day and it’s the end of the world the next. Frustrating.
On Monday they are going to explain the reason for a couple of their rules to my satisfaction or I am going to drive 3x as far and pay 2x as much at Firstenburg. The rigid inflexibility and compliance based nonsense reeks of government.
Update: Nevermind, the things that I like about the Y, Firtsenburg has better accommodations for all of them and it’s $ 12/​mo less for a family membership.

Never sign up for a membership here. They will not let you cancel and try to hold you hostage by trying to keep you as a member when you tell them to cancel. That is why they like to have you on automatic withdrawal that way they’re in charge of when you cancel. We fell for it, and hope nobody else ever has to.

Nice facility, I wish the hours were more constant. I always seem to want to go when it’s closed… especially on the weekends. Recently remodeled, but a lot of the treadmills are pretty old, would like to see some newer models soon.

We used to like going had a family membership for 3 years they remodeled told is the whole time how it was going to be so great ! Now my kids have nothing to do gyms are always rented out staff members are rude and so we cancelled the membership tonight after the female staff in rec room was a jerk (not 1^st time) don’t recommend this place anymore it’s gone down hill and the machines are super dirty

Kids swimming lessons are great. Small class sizes has really helped my son expedite his swimming fundamentals.

Very happy this place is close to home… The BodyPump trainers are great! The fitness class selection is pretty good… Lots to choose from. The front staff is very friendly… I enrolled my son in swimming classes and he loved it. I would have liked to see more progress but he was definitely comfortable with his teacher.

We enroll our daughter in the swimming lessons here. The teachers are very friendly and manage to do a good job tending to all kids in the class.
The locker rooms before and after swimming are always super crowded and the pool area can get really muggy, but the price is affordable for 8 weeks per class.
Overall it is a pretty good deal, just be prepared to sweat while you watch your kid swim.

I have been going here for a few days now. The staff I have talked to have all been very nice and helpful. The remodel of the basketball court has not interfered with the cardio or weight areas. I haven’t had a chance to use the pool yet, but I am sure the 80 degree water will feel great when I get around to it. I have worked at YMCAs in the past so I always tend to go to them in whatever town I live in. This one is nice now, but will be extraordinarily nice when the remodel is finished. Check it out!

I took a tour of this facility while I was looking for a swimming pool to join. It’s very nice, and clean, however the swimming pool is essentially a wading pool. Since I was looking for a lap pool it obviously did not suit my needs. Still, it gets three stars for its friendly staff and reasonable facility.
