Its the greatest place! I just joined and went to water exercise class this morning and it was amazing! Everyone was so nice and the instructor was so patient and kind. Definitely a God send for me

The staff were soooooo nice!!! The facilities were the cleanest Ive ever seen for gyms and/or pools. Did the aqua boot camp class and had a lot of fun. No judgment and super sweet people!

Great gym with a great staff. My only slight complaint is that they could use some updates, such as the locker rooms, showers, etc.

Love it! Pool, free weights, machine weights, Track, basketball, cardio, classes, personal trainers, daycare.

I can’t brag enough on this place. Evans and Lauren keep this place in business and they are they best people you will ever meet. I hardly even leave reviews but this place deserves well over 5 stars. Keep up the great work Evans and Lauren. You’re the heart of this place.

While they arent open 24 hours like I think theyd benefit from, this is by far the most friendly and family oriented gym in Joplin. The staff will go above and beyond to help, ranging from the front desk staff to the personal trainers. Every day I walk in, Im greeted with a smile which helps fuel positivity for my workout. The child watch offering is a huge help and my kids absolutely love the staff in there as well! Id personally like to see a few more weight implements but none of them are a make or break for me. All around, I wouldnt dare think of going to another fitness center in Joplin. The Joplin Family Y feels like home!

I’ve been coming here for several years, over 10 and I hadn’t had to complain about the YMCA till they recently changed their hours. I didn’t complain when they shut down the downtown location, which was a jewel in town, but understood the circumstances. I didn’t complain when the F5 tornado hit joplin and they made changes to the days and hours and now they changed them again. This is my final year here, I’ll more than likely move gyms to planet fitness. The Joplin YMCA has really gown down hill. When can anyone work out if they’re closing their facility early now and have limited hours on the weekend? Just a big sad inconvenience to the community that works evenings.

Great atmosphere, friendly and receptive hard working personal.

Friendly place with clean facilities.

My thing is the water aerobics classes. At the downtown Y the facility was run down, but the pool worked for water aerobics. Here the pool doesnt work as well for that and the water is so cold I get cramps in my legs and feet starting about half way through the class--makes it hard to finish the class. I have been a member at the YYfor eight years but not sure if Im going to continue, which I regret because it has been the perfect exercise with my arthritis.

Great!

Really Disappointing.Moved here from another YMCA and I dont think we will be involved with another YMCA after our experience in Joplin. The staff wasnt terrible, and the facilities are decent. Though the pool has a cool looking slide we got to use it once in two months. They require a second life guard to use the slide even after the children have passed a deep water test, but they never have a second life guard on duty because it simply isnt necessary, just stupid rules.Though they offer a variety of sports programs, its all coached on a volunteer basis from parents. However no one checks to see if these parents have any knowledge of the sport they are coaching. So if youre coach knows nothing about the sport, your kid isnt going to have fun or learn anything about fundamentals of the sport.After taking into consideration the monthly fee, plus the cost of any sports program its much more beneficial to go through our local Parks and Recreation programs.

Joined during the Winter and really liked it. Now its only May and it is SO HOT upstairs that my husband and I both got overheated and sick. Were used to our routine but cant handle it being that stuffy and smelly with little to no air circulation.

Nice clean peaceful place to workout. Friendly workers

Good cardio equipment, decent free weight equipment and machines with space. Numerous TVs in cardio room. Been to twice while in town, will continue to return. Didnt visit locker room or pool area

Nice facility. Equipment is well maintained. When working out people rotate from machine machine without hogging up time.

Great place to work out and awesome pool for kids or lap swimming.

Its an ok place for summer day camp but Im not going there anymore cause Im gonna be in 6th grade soon and after that they dont allow 6th-7th but its a good place to take your child for k-6 summer day camps!

Awesome place awesome paint job

Great equioment, open rooms, dont feel cramped or hit. Good staff and programs.

The manager is rude and unprofessional! Dont ever plan a birthday party there, the pool will close if its storming outside!

Very clean place.

Awful customer service they made me wait for 20 minutes to cancel my membership.
