    Kids running amok everywhere in the evening that it's like a daycare out of control. The long time members agree the the men's locker room is far more superior than the women's at both locations because the CEO is sexist. The locker rooms are never clean and something is always broken down, like the security locks. Seriously, propping the women's locker room door open due to the locks not working is a disaster waiting to happen! Women bringing their kids into the womens locker room when there is a big red sign saying 18+ only just shows that people here don't have any comprehension skills whatsoever.

    Pros : offers a lot of programs historic / charming building Cons: This YMCA was once nice, fairly clean, and fairly updated. I played youth sports here from the mid 2000s to the early 2010s. It has gone downhill. The CEO stopped making updates and started pocketing the money. Also, the cleaning standards have become poor. The swim locker rooms in particular needed attention when I was there earlier this year. This facility was the cool place to go for kids. Now it’s just in disrepair.

    The idea is nice however it didnt work out quite that well. They took an old school or something like that and turned it into a YMCA. The inside is large and the pool is nice however the over all look and feel is anything but nice. It is very dark and dingy in there and I would swear everything is dirty but its not it just seems that way. With the cost of a YMCA membership you can get a membership to a much nicer gym.

    I have been going to the Janesville YMCA for about 4 months now and they never said anything about me being 15 but today they decided to tell me I couldn’t go into the weight room without a fitness orientation yet the lady that does them wasn’t there that day. Drove 30 minutes just for my friends to be able to go in but I wasn’t allowed to go in so we were forced to leave after wasting gas.

    We loved swim lessons here pre-covid. Our daughter was about 9 months when we started. She is now 2. We stopped going in about March 2020, when covid got bad. Based on what we heard about how safe lessons would be, we tried again tonight. There was zero promotion of space, mask wearing, anything like that. To be specific, we were actually told to “come closer” over and over again and weren’t given our respected space. I was so disappointed. We have been very careful with covid, but this experience tells me that the y doesn’t care about safety or health. That completely goes against their values. My husband and I left very disappointed and sad that our daughter won’t be continuing. Swimming was a favorite thing of hers, so I guess we will continue sitting at home due to other peoples’ lack of consideration for others. I contacted the CEO with details. Celeste was amazing as the aquatics director and would have been a lot less pushy and invading of space than the new woman I met today. If you have any concerns about covid, I wouldn’t consider coming here to allow your child to go to be a part of classes. Do better.

    Did swim classes without a membership. Staff was great and my son looked forward to every class. The locker room areas made me feel uncomfortable. It didnt seem clean and was very cold. I wish o could have rinsed my daughter off in clean water in the warm pool area before entering the cold, slippery locker room.

    The water walking was so helpful for my back issues, however my delight turned to disgust when we saw an old woman climb out of the pool with her diaper hanging down to her knees and full of poo. It was a huge disappointment as the girl leading the water walking was so fun and the exercise was just what we needed. We reported this all to the Y but they said they put all kinds of chemicals and shock the water. But no one is keeping track of or monitoring the people with the diapers to see if the right kind of diapers are being used - if there is a right kind? ? ? I'll never go their water again. It's scary!

    Just enrolled my son into the new weekend swimming lessons and he loves it!! He has a great instructor and practically learned how to swim his very first time. I wish i knew her name (she wears the all pink 1 piece) but she is absolutely amazing with kids and made it very easy for my son to catch on. The reason for the 3 stars is because i have had him signed up here for 2 other sports in the past, which kind of seemed like a joke due to the fact the rooms were too tiny and overcrowded to the point the kids couldn't move around and follow instructions properly. Other than that i do recommend for beginner swimming lessons.

    Absolutely love it here plenty of room so you never feel like it's too crowded. My daughter loves coming here to play in the child watch. And all the activities they offer is amazing. The building may be part of old school but the have used it properly.

    A little old but not bad. They updated the lifting equipment recently. Most of the lifting equipment is downstairs.

    Best Ymca around! Everyone is so nice. The child watch teachers are amazing and so caring & patient. It's easy to get lost the first few times but I'm excited to keep going! I'm so thankful for this place :)
