This fantastic indoor tennis and pickleball club has been a welcome addition to the other youth-focused and health-focused businesses (gymnastics, taekwondo, daycare, fitness center) on Plaza Drive. My daughter loves her green ball classes at YC and always looks forward to seeing the amazing owners and talented coaches. We homeschool and they have been so great about trying to offer lessons and classes during times that are convenient for us as well as families on a traditional school schedule. Their summer tennis camps have also been awesome. My daughter's game has improved a ton with the hours of practice she gets during a 5-day camp. She also comes home excitedly talking about the fun activities offered off-court, such as juggling, wood carving, and origami lessons. The club also offers private and semi-private lessons for all ages. I have seen some really little kids around 4 or 5 years old playing on the small indoor red ball court. I'd never seen a red ball court before. Adults can use the club during the evening cardio tennis classes and the 2-hour pickleball open play times on weeknights or reserve the court for family play time. Yello Club is also within 3 minutes of Industrial Taphouse, Front Page, and Yu's China Bistro, so it's very convenient to grab lunch or dinner after a class. We are so happy that they opened in our area!

We loved going to the YMCA. Swimming laps became something that became a part of our senior…read morefitness routine. We experienced a class or two here and there throughout our years as members. In October of 2024, after swimming laps for 20 minutes, our Chevy Tahoe was stolen from the parking lot of the YMCA. Wallet, phone, (all credit cards etc......) The police were called and they came and worked with the people at the front desk and my husband. We are taking COMPLETE responsibility for this careless mistake ( the thieves taking of the keys from the POCKET of the pair of my husbands workout pants hanging INSIDE the locker IN the men's locker room at the YMCA). Our house keys were on the car key fob that was stolen. (We had an attempted break in at our home the same week as the stolen car). Co-incidence? That being said here is my concern. Being that this is the "Young Men's CHRISTIAN Association, - is there NO compassion, concern, empathy with anyone from the YMCA front desk or upper management that was part of this interaction with the police and my husband on how we are? My husband used the Y phone to call me as his was stolen. SOMEONE at the front desk now knows that at least his phone is gone. Is there not a report at the Y and concern within the YMCA team "meeting" about theft and what they are going to do about the members involved (to support them for a minute? I thought there would be some kind of follow up phone call to see how we were doing. Maybe that is the mom in me coming out. To be so violated at a place that you FULLY trust, because you KNOW they watch WHO comes through the front door and make certain ALL MEMBERS are scanned, then a member, it can be assumed, stole the keys -- is VERY VERY unnerving. Certainly they checked all the video to help us/police find the persons who ENTERED the Y, checked in, entered the mens locker room, left the mens locker room, got in OUR car, in the YMCA parking lot, exited the parking lot etc. (?) I called after one week to ask why there wasn't a phone call to check up on two members of several years, who had their lives turned upside down at their facility? How we were doing? Were we ok? Here is what I heard. They were very sorry they didn't call us. Ironically, I did get an email reminder that our credit card wouldn't go through for our dues. Hmmm. I called and reminded them that this was the first outreach from them since the theft. The credit card on file had been in the stolen wallet that was in the stolen vehicle. I cancelled that stolen credit card. Oh sorry! Placing reminders in the newsletters about locking car doors, lockers in the locker room are all very helpful. We bought a lock for our locker for our next fitness center. What needs to be added to that little bit in the newsletter is this: "We will always be here to support our members if you are in need of us here at the YMCA. We will check on you, our valued members, if you are robbed at our facility and have your lives totally disrupted. We care about OUR MEMBERS and want only the best for them." A large part of a fitness facility if feeling safe and secure. Even without using the woman's locker room myself, (very often) I would find myself always looking over my shoulder. Needing to always make certain my car was locked. The Tahoe WAS locked. Locker - not. Probably needing to shorten my swim to leave and check that my car was still in the parking lot. I am not certain what it would take to feel safe at this facility. For now, I am still nervous. How can a person pass through the "security at the front" and then get away with taking property from the facility.

Lots of excercise classes to choose from. Love the MX4 class and that it has its own room. Other Ys often charge for similar programs so it's great this is included. The staff and members are all pleasant. Everyone is very encouraging of each other in group fitness classes. The hot tub is wonderful. Enjoy the steam room and sauna. There's a lot of water exercise classes with great instructors and plenty of lanes for lap swimming. Lifeguards are always friendly and willing to answer questions. Only issue I have with this location is the pool area. The humidity is too high in the pool. Water is 84 and air temp around 72. Due to this black algae is forming on the windows, ceiling, pool floor, binders and papers. The pool staff including lifeguards and instructors are in this area all day. Not only that, the Y has not publicly told its patrons yet about the algae yet which can cause serious health issues. Especially for the elderly and young. Not only has the staff not informed the members, but they have not informed their preschool families who go swimming every Friday. And went swimming the Friday before winter break. I feel the members and the families of these preschool students have a right to know what's going on so they can decide if they want to use the pool currently or wait till the issue is fixed.
