First of all this place is perfect for anyone with kids who still wants to get their pump on and…read moreget a good workout. The Y is great with their child watch and they're swimming for kids and they have a solid selection of machines to choose from. The staff is also really friendly and my God, the classes so many classes. I also belong to LA fitness and this is where the action is as far as classes. They have great tread mills as well with a nice view out the window. My only gripes- the bench section is woefully small. Like maybe there's five benches total, including ones that have bars built-in, and the freeways are always being crowded. Additionally, it would be amazing if they had a sauna and a hot tub but oh well.

Without a doubt the worst run YMCA I've ever seen. This is in reference to the downtown location,…read morewhich for obvious reasons doesn't have a Yelp. Let's begin with the "workers". I have never once seen any of them actually work. They don't clean, they don't supervise, they sit on their phones at the front desk. It would help if the YMCA employed adults, but it's just a bunch of 16-18 year olds unsupervised letting their friends do whatever they want to the equipment. One exclaimed "I TOLD THAT B***h I'm just trying to F**k that P***y!" from the front desk the other day. An employee named Ashton cussed me out because I asked him to enforce the age requirements in the weight room due to children younger than 10 years old tossing weights around and swinging from the equipment like a jungle gym. Tried to report it to management, they didn't even respond. Next let's talk value. I have a Health Club membership with a locker that took months of emailing the Y to obtain. It is $85/month. This is double what gyms with the same amenities offer. It is never cleaned, reeks of mold, and is used by people who don't pay for it because the 16 year old employees give out the password to their friends. Next let's talk cleanliness. This is the dirtiest gym I have ever been in by a long shot. The only reason the Health Department hasn't shut it down is because it is a massive non-profit. Take a wet wipe and wipe down any weight/dumbbell in the facility and you will see grime. Same with the floors. Same with the lockers. Same with the benches. Literally nothing gets cleaned ever. The staff flat out do not clean. Water fountain filters go months on red without being changed. Blood soaked wet wipes are stuffed in cup holders on the machines and when you bring this to the attention of workers, like Ashton, they ask "did you throw it away?". Nah dude, that's your job. Trash litters the floor of the hallways and the basketball courts. Spilled juices/sports drinks that staff refuse to mop up make the floor sticky. This has also been reported to an indifferent management several times. Someone will get hurt and I hope they sue these morons for everything they own. When run correctly, a YMCA can provide underprivileged kids in a community a safe place to go. It can offer community-building events and help the overall health of the community. This YMCA is NOT being run correctly. It isn't even being supervised. Absent management is allowing this place to become a dangerous health hazard. I sincerely hope that the health department does its job and investigates. I hope ISBE investigates and takes away their nutrition grant money until they get their act together. I hope DCFS and HFS investigate as well and remove their grant funding. Non-profits have standards to meet when they accept federal grant funding. The Springfield IL YMCAs are not meeting those standards. Take away their funding, fire the management and employees, shut down for a few months, and reopen when a competent staff can be found.

I cannot believe I am the first to review this Restore! We moved here six months ago from Orange…read moreCounty, CA, and Habitat for Humanity Restores in OC have been there for decades. When we first moved here, we lived in a rental home while searching for a home to buy. We still needed a few things, like new office chairs, to work on our PCs during this time. We found two nice chairs, both under$20.00 each, that would have been $85-$125, at a brand new office supply store. After we found our Dream Home last month, we realized we wanted to see what they had regarding living room furniture. We hit the jackpot! A local furniture store had donated some brand-new sofas and matching love seats. The style and color went perfectly with our new living room. Needless to say, we bought them. We also scored a three piece coffee and end table set made of metal with beveled glass tops. To top it off, my husband found a new office desk! Our total is with a discount of over 25 %...under $250.00. Yes, we had to rent a U-haul truck; this put our grand total under $300.00. It is late, and our cat is snoozing on the sofa, so I will have to add pictures in a day or two. Those of you who have not checked this place out should do so if you like good deals.

Some of the toughest days of our lives. I was able to work remotely from the house and they provided me with a great little work space and respected my privacy so I could focus. I would give this place a 5/5, but there was one person on the staff in particular that really made us feel uncomfortable during a time we were supposed to feel the most comforted. She was constantly on my case about some house rules that I apparently wasn't following, (I was) but at the same time most of the staff and volunteers wouldn't follow this rule. I did not care if the staff wasn't following this rule, I just wanted there to be some kind of accountability and consistency. So I questioned that but all I'd ever get was a threat from her saying she'll kick me out. I was very respectful to everyone there and followed the rules, but if I even asked about them, she raised her voice, had a tone with me and threatened to kick us out? Regardless of what she thought I was doing wrong, she shouldn't talk to anyone like she talked to us. The rest of the staff would always greet me on my way in and out the doors, asking me how my daughter was doing, how my day was, etc. She wouldn't say a word to us unless it was something she thought we did wrong. She would even write / log complaints in their system for something we didn't even do. Great work. All in all, pretty unprofessional. We were already stressed out as it was and it just made us not want to be there when she was working because we knew she'd get on us about anything and everything. Besides her, this place was amazing to us. Thank you all! And we apologize we rubbed Liz the wrong way from the beginning to make her treat us that way!
