I finally signed my daughter up for swim lessons. She is terrified of being in the water unless…read moreshe's walking around ankle deep. She takes a while to acclimate to being in and under the water. We were very impressed with the ease of sign up, the website, and the staff. We were greeted when we walked in by warm, friendly staff who explained everything to us. I cannot rave enough about the swim instructors with my daughter. She made them work on night 1! As a behavior analyst, I was impressed with their skills with balancing rapport building and following through to push her. She was "that one" that was loud and screaming and no one was visibly bothered. Also before going I was skeptical of how much can really be done in 30 minutes with a small group of 3/4 year olds. I was also impressed with how quickly they move between children's turns, sharing attention with each one, and keeping the pace moving!

I love their patience with the children! They're very kind and work well with the kids when they're…read moreupset or unwilling to try something. My daughter is 2.5 and my son is 14 weeks old. My daughter has gone off and on since she was five months. My son just started when he turned 2 months old. My daughter is very comfortable in the water and some of the thanks goes to the instructors here. I only wish she was actually learning safety measures. I've watched videos of children smaller than her tossed into a pool and able to back float or swim to safety. I'm sure some of this will come in due time but for the cost, more aggressive teaching would make me happier. I do however appreciate the warmth of the water and that it's not chlorine. That reeks havoc on black children's hair.

The Emerson YMCA is one of the greatest businesses in North County, STL, MO. The employees are all…read moreprofessional, kind & customer-oriented. The monthly fee is a great value at just a tad over a dollar a day! Senior citizens are allowed to have their Medicare/Insurance pay their fee. They have a very affordable childcare that is open early & closes in the evening. The swimming pool has many different classes for swimming, water exercises, etc... The maintenance crew performs an excellent job cleaning & the overall Y looks great, especially during & post-Covid. The gym equipment floor is expansive with plenty of options inc/ free weights, different exercise machines, many diff styles of cardio equipment, etc... The basketball floor is brand new & where they host many diff boys/girls rec leagues practices & games. They play pickleball on the courts, also. Walking track is on the 2nd floor above the gym. I'm encouraging everyone to join, become a donor to assist our fav biz in North County! Your donations can be used for childcare, events (Ex. They just hosted an indoor Halloween extravaganza for the kids this week). I don't know why the YMCA('s) Executives/Mgmt. doesn't broadcast all the services, benefits & community events?? The YMCA needs our assistance regarding donations, volunteerism, event participation & joining to improve OUR community and our family's health!! As a community, we should all look to join, participate & donate to this excellent, quality & affordable value. My wife & I have participated in the Christmas gift drive for a decade+.

My favorite workout ever!!!…read more My mind and body have changed in such positive ways since starting PLNK. Now I can't ever imagine myself not coming as it sets my intentions and mood for the day. If you're looking for a huge change and challenge in your life, start today. Just trust me on this one, you won't regret it.

TLDR: exploitative membership terms, excessive penalties, poor quality instruction, and…read morenegligent/hostile management. Don't believe all the 5-star reviews, they solicit these with give-aways and raffles. Notice many of the reviews are from accounts that rarely ever review (especially on Google). Exploitative Membership Terms: If you want to buy more than a drop in class, PLNK puts you on auto renew / bill when you sign up, then restricts your ability to cancel in advance of the next billing cycle (must request in email 10 days in advance of the billing date).This keeps you locked in. Additionally, they heavily restrict the booking window on their passes. Classes are always booked out two weeks in advance. So, you're stuck with class passes you can't use, which then expire. This has happened to me on numerous occasions and at $30-35/class this really hurts. Excessive Penalties: They also penalize you with an extra $20 fee in addition to the $35 class fee you if you don't show up, and $15 fee if you cancel within 24 hours. They then take your space and give it to someone on the waitlist. If that person isn't there in person to take your spot when you no-show or last minute cancel, they are also charged a no-show fee. This is how they turn a $35 seat in their class into a $90+ seat. Negligent / Hostile Management: You aren't allowed to speak or interact with management -- they cite personal safety concerns (??) -- and instead put all the responsibility for dealing with guest complaints to their front desk staff who are unpaid interns. If you do manage to reach management via their anonymously maintained studio email addresses, they will gaslight you and and threaten you with being banned from the studio. I had this experience first hand and their harassment continued after I cancelled my membership and left the studio. Poor Quality Instruction / Injury Risk Finally, the quality of the instruction in low with teachers turning over really quickly and minimal training. Many teachers either are unable to or were not trained to describe the physiology of the movements, instead relying on branded names for each, and assuming you know it. When you look around the studio you always see many people looking confused and looking at each other for guidance. The risk of injury is high here.
