| - I joined the YMCA recently this year, after experiencing a few bad gyms, that are either over priced, to small, over crowded, or that they don't have a swimming pool. I'm sure that this YMCA is fairly new, it may look big on the outside, but its smaller then it looks. But it does have everything you need to work out. You really don't need a big gym, to get a workout. But at least its bigger then the last gym I applied too.
First off, I have to say the staff was nice when we signed up, when we come in to work out and the people at the gym seem to be nice as well. I have to give a big thanks to the swimming department, since I did go for private swimming lessons. Lauren was my instructor, who help me get a good grasp on the backstroke, side stroke, and freestyle. Mainly, I never knew how to swim, but learning 3 type of strokes in 6 weeks, at a decent pace. It made me feel comfortable about my swimming techniques.
What I like about it, is that, they seem to be more in control on who suppose to be where. Meaning, you usually don't want to have kids running around, while you work out. They basically set the standards on kids being where there suppose to be. So I do like the fact on organizing the kids limitations, but still give kids things to do. I also like the fact that they do have classes and in their own rooms. Its not crammed in the same area as the workout area, where you can here grunts, or a person talking over the intercom during a cycling class, when you rather listen to music. Even though, there isn't music being played at the YMCA, but I like the fact that the machines have earphone access to watch TV while you work out. It does help to pass the time, while you work out.
The only thing, I'm not fond of, is the drive, there's only 3 of them in Las Vegas. But YMCA is probably one of the best gyms that I trust going to, which isn't overpriced, or not that small. So if you don't mind the drive, and just need a workout with out the extra noise of classes going on, I would really recommend the YMCA
