YMCA - Glenwood Park

We used the pool with my kids. We were all having a good time until the switch in the life guard. First I’d like to say I understand fully the safety of the children. On the other hand there is a point when the personal opinion of the guard comes into play and ruins the fun by interrupting everybody that was in pool. I was with in arm reach of my children the whole time. She continued to interfere with everyone in the Pool. From how my daughter had the life jacket on. There was a twist in the shoulder strap and she made us get out of the pool the took the jacket off my daughter and the put it on her the way she wanted it to be. There was no safety concern with a twist in the shoulder strap. She told me that she was not asking but telling me she had to fix it how she felt fit. I feel this was over stepping. It was uncomfortable and my children wanted to leave after the encounter with her. Other families also left when she got on duty.

The staff is always great but there’s definitely some room for improvement as far as the building itself being updated and very much needed upgrades for some of the workout machines. Some of the machines seem to take a really long time to be repaired, or are never repaired at all and not replaced.

I really enjoy going to the Y. I love the variety of Group Classes that are offered. I like all the exercise options available for Y members. 😊

Friendly staff, equipped well for general fitness. Plenty of Silver Sneakers programs.

Dirty bathrooms/changing rooms. Life guards are scared to enforce pool rules on some people.
