My child took classes for a few months and we were satisfied. A small pool with small class sizes,…read moreseemed to be the perfect fit for my little swimmer. Great communication and friendly staff. My one gripe was the curriculum. Not sure if it's because we were enrolled in a more *beginner* type class, but I would have loved for them have included some more techniques. I thought my child would learn to float / tread water and they did not. We were also told one particular class would have the children being in the pool in regular clothing, a technique to help prevent drowning. This never happened. A little disappointing. Overall, would recommend and will be reenrolling my children.

I used to attend the YMCA, but they've eliminated many of the group classes I enjoyed, like Zumba…read moreand salsa. It now feels like most of their programs are geared toward highly athletic individuals, rather than people who need moderate or low-impact options. There's a large group of older adults and individuals with medical conditions who aren't being considered. The only alternative they offer is Water Zumba, which doesn't work for me. On top of that, the membership prices have increased significantly. Even with financial assistance, $35 a month feels like a stretch for a single person. Overall, it no longer feels accessible or geared toward working-class individuals or people with limitations when you bring it up to their attention they truly don't care. I was there when it first opened and I don't want to do boring yoga - you forget the people with limitations -ymca do better.

Which was very annoying. Pool was always shut down for some maintenance which was a red flag. And that locker room was filthy , sauna never worked, eater bugs all over , showers also were broken.

The swimming pool is very large and has plenty of lifeguards however the locker room/bathroom situations is quite a big problem mainly in the showers since there is little to no hot water some of the time also there are broken movable shower heads in both family locker rooms and the floor itself looks festered with disease it left a bad taste in my mouth. Besides that issue the community center has good heating and air conditioning and very friendly staff and good wifi as well.

Wainer, the person training me, could not be better: he is patient and encouraging, his explanations are clear, and he is full of knowledge about how the machines and routines work to create muscle and better health. I never liked exercise, but these sessions seem to go quickly and I enjoy them. Every session leaves me energized, with minimal soreness. After only 5 and a half weeks, I already have some muscular development. I'm grateful to Wainer and to the Riverdale Y for having such an employee. The facility is clean and bright, and the staff are welcoming and pleasant. I am glad that I joined the Riverdale Y.
