If you're looking for instructors who genuinely care about children, I highly recommend choosing…read moreThe Little Gym over Perfect Balance. While the monthly cost at The Little Gym may be slightly higher, the overall experience is significantly better. My son is three years old, and like many children his age, listening is still a skill we're working on. I initially thought Perfect Balance would be a great place for him to develop new skills and improve focus. Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. During one class, the instructor became visibly irritated when my son got distracted or didn't follow instructions. At the end of class, she had him line up with the other children to receive a stamp for participation. She even dipped the stamp in the ink pad, only to look him in the eye and tell him he wasn't getting a stamp because he hadn't listened. I understand the importance of teaching children accountability, but I strongly believe the instructor's approach was unnecessarily petty and inappropriate for a three-year-old. If she felt it was important for him not to receive a stamp, she could have spoken to me directly. I would have respected that. But having him go through the motions--only to publicly deny him a small reward--felt more like punishment than a teaching moment. Because of this experience, I ended our membership effective immediately. We will continue going to The Little Gym, where the instructors are patient, supportive, and understand that children--especially toddlers--have good and bad days. They work with him, not against him. One final thought for any parent considering Perfect Balance: my son also participates in Soccer Shots, where I regularly see other three-year-olds wander off, lose focus, or struggle to follow instructions. Yet, at the end of practice, those children still receive stamps and stickers--not because they performed perfectly, but because they showed up and tried. Why? Because they're three, they're still learning and that deserves encouragement, not shame.

I am writing to formally express my concern regarding my recent experience with an employee at the…read moreYMCA. During my visit i interacted with Jess. I found their behavior to be unprofessional and disappointing. Specifically, receiving weird looks, lack of communication, and felt rushed to make a decision. Ever since the establishment changed owners this place is just not like it used to be. As a member/guest, I expect to be treated with courtesy, respect, and professionalism. Unfortunately, this interaction did not meet those expectations. and negatively affected my experience at the YMCA. I respectfully request that this matter be reviewed and addressed appropriately. My intention is not simply to complain, but to help ensure that all members and visitors receive respectful and professional service. Thank you for taking the time to review my concerns. I appreciate your attention to this matter and would welcome a response regarding any actions taken or the outcome of your review.

This has been my home gym for about 3 years. Overall, I've been satisfied with my membership here…read more When I attended the workout classes regularly, I was able to meet great people and build community. The instructors and other members were welcoming. In recent times, there have been several renovations and upgrades to the facility including a remodel of the lobby area, installation of digital monitors, new flooring, renovated basketball court, and new flooring in locker rooms. I have a nationwide membership so I'm able to access facilities when I am away from my neighbor. While it doesn't offer 24 hour access, the hours of operation are sufficient and there's usually a local branch when I'm away from home.
