Ymca

This YMCA( Abilene Texas-Redbud).I had a great experience there and wanted to share. The front desk staff here are WONDERFUL, they answer every question with a smile and are very informative.
. The cardio room at this YMCA is great, equipped with great equipment and plenty of them, so no waiting in line for the one you want. The building is kept very clean and you always are greated with smiles, even from people who are not working at the front desk. I recieved smiles from the nursery workers and the preschool teachers, when i wondered into the preschool room by mistake they politely smiled and asked if they could help me find something.The lifeguards need to smile alittle more, however, the pool is an olympic size pool with plenty of activities to keep anyone buisy no matter what your looking for, swim team ,water aerobics, lap swim, you name it , they have it. This ymca also offers karate,soccer,softball,t-ball , step aerobics, yoga, cycling.THis ymca has it all. The prices are very reasonable as well. I give them four stars!

I only gave this a 3 star rating because of the cost to be a member. The childcare is adequate, and the facilities are good, but the cost to be a member makes only those who make a lot of money or no money at all (they qualify for 'financial aid' ) able to join. The people who work in the Redbud YMCA are nice people. They smile and joke with you. The women's dressing rooms are clean and the lockers are functional. The cardio room has a good eclectic blend of machines: 2 types of stair machines, bikes, treadmil, rowing, and elliptical. The weight room has several machines for each muscle group. There are also racket ball courts, indoor walking track, basketball courts, aerobics, and I think they started a Yoga class. They have an olympic sized pool and several different water aerobics classes at different times of the day. They keep lanes roped off all day for swimming laps if thats what you are into, and they also have a seperate shallow 'walking' pool. There are sauna's and jacuzzi in the adult dressing rooms, and massage services available for a separate fee.

PROS: variety of services available. childcare area clean. friendly staff
CONS: cost is prohibitive
