My husband and I are really thinking hard about getting a family YMCA membership. Since I work, I like the idea that they have child care during the evening hours so I can begin working out again.

Does anyone else go to the YMCA? Any opinions? Especially on thier children's programs and activities.

Thanks!

i work at the ymca part time when my two oldest are with their dad on saturdays its nice my daughter goes to the after school program and loves it and i have my 15 month old in swimming lessons its a great place for famlies

Hello, I am an after school Site Manager for the "Y". I have worked for them for four years. I have a free membership and pay just $20 a month for my family membership. We put Savannah in their nursery during a work-out, which is rare because we are lazy when it comes to this! Oh, and staff only pay $5 a week for after school child care. Fee would normally be $50 weekly. The "Y" is hiring in several area's. It is also a good family atmosphere to be in.

Which YMCA do you go to? I have been considering joining but would have to travel from WH to Lakeland. The one here does not have a pool. I would really like to go somewhere to get Aeryn swimming. She is only 7.5 months old.

i go to the one off of clevland heights

Ann thanks for mentioning about them hiring. I might have to check into that.

Thank you, everyone, for the feedback. It sounds like I will not regret my decision to obtain a membership.

Perhaps I'll even see some of you there!!! I'll be the one with the screaming three year old. hehehe

You've got mail.

Yes, yes, and yes again. I think the YMCA is worth the membership! We LOVE Brian! We started going when Jessica Holcomb was the Sports Director and thought she was super. Brian had shoes to fill and he sure has! I've enjoyed watching him grow into his own and think he has fantastic plans there. He does all the tee shirt designs now, too. My husband rides his bike up to the Y to work out and then back on his days off. We'll drive up to meet him and he and the boys play and I work out. Well, at least that's what we've done in the past. We need to get moving on that again here soon. lol Oh, there are some workout programs they used to charge for - kick boxing and another one, but I forgot that one - they don't charge members anymore. Anyway, we have definitely gotten our monies worth! Check them out.
