I am surprised by the bad reviews of this gym. No, it's not the biggest/trendiest place in Las Vegas but that's not why I would choose a gym so maybe I just don't get it. Actually, I kind of don't want to post a great review because I that it is not overly crowded...but I will be selfless and not keep it to myself.
I have been going here since November '10 and I love it! The cardio room isn't huge but I've never had to wait for a treadmill or elliptical and I have gone during different times of the day.
I take my one year old to the daycare and the staff is awesome with her. She has some separation anxiety but they are always encouraging and caring (to both of us, haha) regardless of how fussy she is on a particular day. Lately she has gotten more used to it and has started having fun while being there, which is great!
The group classes are my favorite part of the gym. There are so many classes to choose from and are at different times throughout the day. The instructors are high-energy and so wonderful. Hands-down the best instructors of any gym I have even gone to. You have to try Body Burn, Spinning, and Step.
I can't comment on the indoor pool because I have never used it but know people that use it all the time and are happy with it.
The outdoor pool is nice with slides and a large kiddie pool.
Love this YMCA!
