A.E. Finley YMCA

This is one of the more “equipped” among the Ys in the area, steam room, sauna, outdoor pool, and a coffeemaker that I don’t see anywhere else, it’s a little effort for a great deal of extra credit in my opinion.
Tons of gym equipment, yet could still be overcrowded, especially the weightlifting area. You do have to share a limited amount of weight with many other people, I have never seen a shortage yet but if you’re some sort of hardcore bodybuilder I can definitely tell the weights could be unavailable occasionally for you.
In respect to the recent negative comment, the indoor pool is meant to be cold for cooling down overheated lap swimmers, if one’s actually doing any amount of effective water exercise, one shouldn’t feel the cold after like the initial 30 seconds.
Little trick, jump right into the water from the 10 ft side of the pool, may sound crazy for you but you won’t actually feel any cold.
On the other hand if you really can’t handle it due to medical reasons, just get your sunscreen and use the outdoor pool, it’s a lot warmer.
Not following your direction is not considered condescending, it’s a PUBLIC facility.

This is in response to the negative comment as a regular YMCA member for years. The facility is nice and the employees are friendly. Every now and then some members seem to fill entitled to insist on rules that don’t meet the needs of all YMCA members, for example the pool temperature in the indoor pool should be set a temperature to allow for those swimming to not get overheated. The facility is clean, yet some members seem to want special privileges to sanitize locker rooms
in a way that one may sanitize their home. I recommend those members considering building a pool at their home and a gym facility. Specifically I appreciate how the YMCA values ensuring that young children are learning to swim, which is a life skill that everyone needs to have, even if that means that the pool area has to be shared. Thanks for being awesome! We love the YMCA!

I like the Finely YMCA. Always very clean with a very nice facility and friendly staff. The members at this location clean up after themselves, put weights back, and wipe down the equipment when they are finished. I love the atmosphere and the energy I get when training here.

The gym can get very busy, and there will be lots of people. But I’ve never had a problem getting my workout done. Sharing equipment and asking someone if they would like to work in goes a long way.

Good times.
