Good gym, good programming, great coaching staff. Yes, they are open with covid restrictions/practices in effect. Give them a shot!
So many wonderful things are offered for the community in this location! Fabulous trainers and classes are available for different ages and fitness levels! There is an older pool with a graded entry for kids on one side and three lap lanes on the other. The locker room is outdated my only complaint really is that the showers are not only outdated but kind of gross. Not terrible but definitely need redone. Employees are always friendly and helpful! Theres plenty of parking and you can always park at the very back for the best view and the most added steps on the way to and from your workout;) There are also trails nearby for running or walking before or after your workout. The trails nearby are generally shaded and offer beautiful big trees. Sunset boulevard is especially beautiful in the fall with all the colorful leaves along it.
So far my experience has been pretty positive. I have been focused on transferring a rehab workout from a physical therapist to the YMCA, and it has been going fairly well. I need to make a better effort to change my times to get help on some machine set ups so I dont have a negative impact on my therapy. I have come anywhere from 9:30 to 5 pm and had good access to whatever I wanted to do, and the other clients have been easy to be around, yet stay focused on getting my things done to meet my goals. Overall it seems much better than years ago when I kids at swim team practice every night. thanks a lot for being there.
Great place to workout, shoot hoops or go for a swim. The staff is top notch as well.
I’ve been with YMCA for many years. The staff are amazing, respectful and helpful. I feel we’re like a family. I like the concept of the indoor walking/jogging track. The fitness equipments are up to date and the group exercise classes meet my needs.
We love our Y. Wife uses it almost daily and has her own group of friends she met there and regularly works out with. Good equipment and spaces to workout.
Awesome facility! Great swimming area with shallow kids area and lap pool. Great basketball court area and well equipped gym. Very clean facility with reasonable pricing, friendly staff, and a wide variety of classes available. I wish I was relaxing in the pool right now.
Great keep in shape place. Great staff, lots of help if you need it. Clean. Pool, gym, special training classes available. Great for the entire family. Everyone can benefit. Lots of parking. Easy access. Inexpensive with lots of choices of exercises, YOGA, rehab.
I’ve had nothing but great experiences here. Love being able to use all the different machines and weights they have, the free classes they offer and the hours are great. My kids have used the pool to help them learn to swim. Glad my family signed up to go here.
My granddaughter had her 6th birthday party here.
Warm pool, friendly staff, great place to go for excerise. Safe place to be. Locker rooms easy to use and clean.
This is the best YMCA! Ive been a member since my son was 8 months old and it has changed my life for the better! The Child Watch staff is so amazing and you get 2 hours of free Child Watch per child included in the membership, which is the only way I would be able to work out! The facility is great, the classes and teachers are great and the community here is unbeatable! I moved here to Sherwood just before my son was born and I didnt make friends, really, until I started going to the Y. I mainly do Yoga and I love the Teen Center studio, which is a large room with hardwood floors and it overlooks a wild, natural, wooded area on one side with a wall full of windows and at the back side, it overlooks the basketball courts and rock wall. Their dance and Barre classes are also phenomenal! Now that my son is 3, I enrolled him in a preschool PE class and he loves it! There were many other programs for his age group and it was hard to choose which one! I just dont have enough great things to say about this YMCA! Ive visited several others and this one is so streamlined and so teeming with activity and positivity, it truly is a place for families to thrive. Thank you Sherwood YMCA!
Very clean and great separation!!
Pool is crowded and you feel like youre going to melt in the over heated rooms
Basic gym but the pool is warm! A pool for real people not just long distance swimmers who want cool water
Great community, staff, and programs for all ages and ability.
Why we have a membership. Pic of pool says it all. Great place to take kids and unwind.
Best thing to happen to our family!
Staff are a bunch of jerks always yelling at me. There basketball court is terrible not even a full court. They need new wood it’s super slippery no grip terrible.
Love this YMCA! We have been members for almost 10 years. The staff, the instructors, the kids programs, the kids sports, the equipment and the facility are fantastic. In my opinion you’d be hard pressed to find a better valued gym membership for a family.
No way to get yout money back if you only go a few days. Plantfitnesa bettr
Great staff very kind and caring. The lady at the front desk whose name i cant remember but i think her name started with a J was so damn nice and helpful I thank God for her help. My girlfriend and I needed a shower and she helped us out. Thank you.(-- Eddie and shelby)
If you have a family this is the best place to go for working out. The child care is amazing.
Always so friendly when were passing through. Nice facilities!
Absolutely amazing staff and facility
Good local spot. My kids have swam here, played Sports, and attended other clubs.
This is a great place to go with kids! The pool is great, & there are classes, as well as a game area good for entertaing kids while youre waiting for someone in a class.
Clean, friendly people, the water was great, and the water aerobics class was good.
Great workout machines and very friendly staff.
There is unlimited amount of fun here. Spent many hours at the YMCA doing everything from swimming to building some muscles. No matter what you are into the YMCA has it. There are a lot of teens though.
Suits very many needs for many people for a quality price. Friendly front desk staff and aquatics staff is attentive.
Friendliest gym ever, they are something that no other gym I worked out in has ever had. Its like a family. Its very nice gym to boot
I travel from a nearby town to go here and have been doing so for about 7 years. I work out for about an hour and a half up to 4 times a week and my kids have grown up in the pool. They both love water, and I attribute it largely to the pool here, because it is really very good for kids. That said, I wished they had offered fee structures to permit us to use the pool while paying but not for the monthly membership. The only thing that they had would have cost us something like 30 dollars to use the pool for an hour, so that wasnt going to work. It was a shame too, as their pool for kids is easily the best thing this place offers that isnt offered elsewhere nearby, and could bring in new memberships if there was a way to just use the pool without paying 50-100/month.I know the names of most of the staff and they know me too. We have done most of the kids free activities that have been offered, and during the time that the kiddos were under 7, this Y saved my sanity on more than one occasion with child care while I worked out, or kids classes that were free. So for this time, this Y has a special place in my heart of pure gratitude. I also came to realize that places like this for a community are extremely important, and was bummed when their ambitions to expand were thwarted by the local officials.The kids have almost entirely outgrown the pool here, and go to our local pool because it is larger and is geared toward bigger kids. I recommend this Y, the youth that took care of my kiddos during fun club were long suffering with the kids and I wished I could take them home and feed them milk and cookies for the work they did.The place is clean, people want to help, and there is leadership in place that clearly cares very much about the place being the best it can be. Its worth checking out if you live in Sherwood, it has been a great place for our young family.
I love this place, so many good memories.
Been a member now for about 10 years. Family membership with the Military Discount. Cant beat the price!We chose this place because it not only includes 2 floors of gym equipment, but classes and sports for all ages. Everything from Martial Arts to Yoga, to group fitness.They have children programs and for those of you with young kiddos, they offer daycare as well.Ive never had an issue here, they open at 0500 in the morning so if you like to get a workout in before work, great place as the locker rooms have adequate showers and amenities.The Pool is large and has accommodations for kiddos and those that want to swim laps, etc.Highly recommended if you have a family, even if you dont the workout equipment is on par with any other higher priced gym youll find out there.
Exelent and beautiful place
Good place for family and friends
LOVE THIS PLACE!....Perfect for all ages and a great variety of activities throughout the day; and I LOVE that there is NOT music blaring overhead (the large fans are the perfect white noise to focus when working out).........SUGGESTIONS:1) Longer hours on Holidays!;2) Update messages on your answering machine and website for those Holidays (so we are sure what the modified hours are);3) Your website could be more user friendly (make the choices OBVIOUS instead of taking us in circles to find what we want to know)
My wife and I are traveling and needed a shower. Wasnt sure what to expect. They didnt even charge the 2 dollars for it. Overall nice experience. I highly recommend a visit.
After finishing my service in the navy I needed to find a place to stay fit. This fit the bill perfectly. It’s fun to stay here and I’ll back!!!
Amazing friendly staff. We love the pool!
I love it there. I use to go there everyday
Great gym. Only wish that they had a second pool so you can swim when you want and arent so restricted by the schedule of having 1 small pool for the entire towns classes and teams
The YMCA offers a great place for the entire family, with many programs for both afults and children. They have plenty of workout equipment, as well as basketball courts and studios for yoga, dance and spin. They also have recreational leagues for all ages.
Great place to work out..
Ive been helping with a project at the Y the last couple weeks and can not believe the terrific energy at the facility. Everybody has been extremely helpful and the young staff members at the front desk are amazing. They check in members, answer the phones and help with new member, swimming and class questions...all at the same time!!!
Scarlet and the others at child watch are great. My kids love the Y and look forward to going swimming or any other activities they have going on. I also get to get a workout in!
Great gym, honored my California membership.
Great community center! Full array of equipment, courts, pool for lap swimming, indoor walking track. Reasonably priced! Go YMCA!
Real great place to exercise get in shape and make friends
LOVE this place. Nice staff. Great classes. Childwatch is awesome.
Very nice staff and will work with you if you cannot pay full amount. Great for seniors with Silverfit or Silver Sneakers
Friendly staff and great equipment. Good place for kids and people of all ages. Swimming, basketball, rock wall, work out, showers,...
Not a member but Krystal the yoga instructor offered me a free class, she was fantastic!! 3 days later and Im still sore definitely go see her!!
This facility is Very pleasant to deal with...people friendly and encouraging! I would recommend the Older Adult Classes to anyone who is trying to build some cardio fitness and who may need a bit of encouragement to get started on a regular program. The instructors of Silver Sneakers MWF 10-11 AM classes ( Caz and Jean), are delightful. There is always laughter in class, as well as serious attention to the needs of folks who are aging and want to stay healthy.I never thought an exercise class could be this enjoyable, but it is!!
Good place for kids to go good set up lots to do good prices for one or the family..
Needs a sauna but still a great place.
I love love love the YMCA. I feel sad that the city is asking an outside firm to bid for our community. Its shameful. It appears that the city doesnt care about what the public wants or thinks. I believe its probably about money but it sounds fishy. The public has made their desire known to keep the Y but that has been ignored.
The staff is professional, cordial, accommodating, and encouraging. The facility is kept clean and comfortable. Thanks for your service to our community!
Great facility. Horrible staff. We were looking at getting financial assistance to help lower our fee as we are a one income family. But they wanted papers of my sons disability his ssi our gov assistance and anything short of our firstborns blood sample. Then they said even with all of that it wouldnt lower much at all. Even though they they will work with anyone and nobody is denied etc the lady in charge didnt give a care or not if we got a membership.
Great
Been going for a few months now, and it has been good, the staff is very helpful and friendly.
Great place for our family to workout and stay in shape and very friendly staff
Awesome facility!
Slightly dated facility, but breadth of programs and friendliness make this a great option.
So wonderful! Lots for the kids, lots of classes, and the swim instructors are terrific!
This is a clean, friendly gym to everyone with a variety of exercise equipment and awesome classes.
I had a membership for a few years, canceled to lack of activities for my kids that were older than the Fun Club stuff, but still too young for the teen center.I was offered a free 2 Week membership to consider coming back, which I was seriously considering since my kids are older now.However, even with telling them I had already been a member, I was taken on a tour of the facility that took an HOUR. Ok, fine, I will go through the guys spiel. But my intention was that I wanted to work out. Period.After an hour and half of a tour, and then throwing prices and promotions at me, wanting me to sign up again, right then and there, I never got to go work out which is why I even went there in the first place.I feel it was a complete waste of my time. I was told my free trial would begin when I made a decision to sign up again, or just use the two weeks.Total BS. Seriously, will never go there again.
Extensive equipment, loads of cardio machines, fantastic pool, programs more than I can count, and the staff is knowledgeable, friendly and helpful.
This place is great and works with you on a sliding scale depending on your income to try and be more affordable. I wish their childcare area was more attentive but other than that the place is fantastic!
Really nice facilities. You get a lot at an affordable price.
Fabulous, fabulous...community feel and phenomenal instructors...
Nice community workout spot. Great for families.
I volunteered at the teen center long time ago when Rodger was still there. I loved it.
