Pros, it's a spacious facility…read more Cons: The hours are too restricted, especially for shift workers. They would do better to offer a 24 hr option, even if it's only for certain categories of members, like doctors, nurses, first responders, and military personnel. They are charging a $39 processing fee and a $39 club enhancement fee, on top of the monthly fee. I declined to renew for these reasons. To renew, I would end up paying each of these TWICE this year. So that's an extra $160. on top of the membership dues. I was going to renew, even though the hours don't best suit my needs, but after seeing the additional fees I decided against it. They also want a photo copy of you driver's license, which is not a best practice.

LifeSTROKES provides swim lessons for kids in a safe, controlled, and professional environment…read more After several years of inconsistent lessons at our local health club, we were looking for something more focused that would make an impact on our kids lives. We found it here. Our 3, 5 and 7 year olds were very nervous about the first lesson, but had tons of fun and now eagerly anticipate their weekly lessons. More importantly, they are making noticeable strides and improvement in their ability to swim. LifeSTROKES lessons are more expensive than other places, but we think it is an investment worth making. Watching the system they've got worked out to safely and effectively teach a whole bunch of kids is pretty amazing. It feels inappropriate to take pictures of a bunch of random kids in their swimsuits and then post them here, so I'm not going to do it. But you can get a great feel for the place by checking out their website: www dot lifestrokes dot com

WOW!!! I was looking for a place to have my son's "water" birthday. I saw they had a "We do…read morebirthdays" sign in the grass and I booked immediately. Firstly, they let me come 30 minutes prior to the party so that was sooo helpful. They also asked me for his favorite colors and his party theme at the time of booking due to the fact that they provide tablecloths, plates, and cutlery. If you see in the video, they drew a little Pikachu drawing on my son's birthday sign :,) SO THOUGHTFUL and my son adored it. The staff was incredibly helpful, kind, and attentive. The space was the perfect size for us. We had around 15 kids and 20 adults. I 10/10 recommend.

This is my family's preferred Lincoln YMCA. Lots of opportunities to exercise in a variety of ways,…read moreincluding classes. We love child watch and utilize it regularly for our small children. The child watch staff are friendly and helpful, and have become friends with my wife and kids. A monthly family membership costs $84, so child watch more than pays for the membership each month. We've done swimming lessons for a couple of our kids here, and enjoy the fact that they have both indoor and outdoor pools. The only negative I can think of for this YMCA is that the water in the showers does not consistently stay any one temperature. This means when I'm cleaning up with my kids after swim lessons i spend most of the time preparing to yank my child out of the water when it momentarily turns scaldingly hot.

Nice facilities. It…read moreis really hard to get a weight workout in. People virtually SIT on their machine and stare at their phones. For minutes on end. Sometimes people - all "macho" men - will hog 2 or more machines at the same time. So you have to wait around for people who don't know SQUAT about how to work out. I've had this happen on numerous occasions. Gets tiresome. When you mention this to the staff, they don't do a thing to rectify the problem.

Some instructors are definitely better than others. They over book kids into lessons at some ages IMO, which means less overall time in the water practicing and time with the instructor. When I was a kid, we did things as a group, rather than focusing on one kid at a time. My son has a hard time just sitting and waiting for his turn. The locker rooms are very much in need of an update. Rusty doors and just a feeling of things being dirty and musty. In need of better maintenance.
