Arthur Jordan Branch YMCA

This gym has truly been an amazing place for me. I’ve been working out here for the past 3.5 years, ever since I was 13, and now at 16, I still enjoy coming in five times a week. Even though I come from a different background and wear modest clothing, but I’ve always felt welcomed and comfortable. One of the things I really appreciate is how respectful and kind everyone is people focus on their own workouts, and there’s a great sense of personal space. The front desk staff especially stand out to me. They always greet me with a warm smile, and it honestly makes my day every time. What I love most is that this gym isn’t just about lifting weights or using machines. It offers a supportive and positive environment for everyone whether you’re a child, an adult, or even someone working on the go like me. As a young entrepreneur with a busy and often stressful schedule, this gym has also become a place for me to relax, recover, and even get some work or meetings done. It’s more than just a fitness space it’s a place that helps me mentally, physically, and professionally.

Great facility and friendly staff. We had a small issue trying to play Pickleball on Friday at noon. The YMCA website says that the gym at the Jordan Y is open for pickleball from 11:00 to 1:00. But when we entered the gym and asked where to put our paddles to line up, we were questioned about "how good we were". We were shown a sign on the door that says Friday is for"Advanced" pickleball. We acknowledged that this was the first time we'd played the game with others, and we're not advanced. Fortunately, a few of the guys said they'd be happy to let us rotate in for a game. They all ended up being very friendly and helpful to teach us, but we almost didn't stay after the initial response. I have no problem with there being a designated time for certain skill levels, but that needs to be on the website. While most of those players are retirees, I took time off from work in the middle of the day to come play. I wish I had known not to come on Friday.

Nice outdoor long course pool that isn’t very busy for lap swim. Was pretty easy to schedule my nephews for swim lessons there and appreciated Brandy’s help and welcoming! Lifeguards and swim instructors are kind, welcoming and polite!

The gym is decent and a good variety of equipment but the atmosphere is horrible. It’s a bunch of elderly people that are quite rude and don’t know how gyms work. If you’ve been on a machine for a minute they think you’re obligated to let them on to use it. The concept of sets eludes them. Working in is totally fine and acceptable but I’ve found it difficult to explain that so I just gave up. If you’re just using the gym like I was it’s certainly not worth it. Hard pass.

Front desk staff is very nice and the gym is pretty comprehensive but the entire place has stick up it’s ass energy. Lots of rules and the trainers are rude; they will police you in the weight room rather than watch the form of their elderly clients. You probably cannot deadlift here. You can sense the vibe of a gym and this one is uptight. Pass.

Very disappointed. My three sons were at the summer camp last week and I will just jump in with the headline. My youngest requires an EpiPen. At the end of a disappointing week, I went inside to retrieve the EpiPen and none of the three counselors i spoke with knew where it was. I spoke to youth and family director Kevin Gibson and he seemed to care less. He wasnt concerned with getting it back to me. Didnt care when it was lost. I still havent herd from him three days later. No mention of coaching opportunity or getting it right next time. As for the camp itself. The children called it a ant farm. They were penned up outside in a field that had an ant infestation and they were severely dehydrated at the end of each day due to the only water source being surrounded by a mud pit. One day my 9 yr old drank 80% of a liter of water upon entering the car claiming he wanted to preserve his shoes from the mud. This is a poor reflection of the camp and leadership. Not the building itself.

Visiting for the day. Great location and updated y facility. Came only for the pool and had plenty of space to practice.
