Mon Valley YMCA — Local services in Carroll Township

My army buddy and I went to to YMCA to see what sort military friendly packages they offered.

The front desk lady looked like a deer in head lights when we walked in. The manager lady came out after we were left to standing there and we walked over that way to see what was going on. The manager lady had no idea of any information to give us and was out of breath after one sentence while in a defensive posture.

Since I am avid gym person and visiting my battle after being deployed together and have gym membership back home. I asked if they had a week pass to use and check out the facilities. The manager lady immediately shot us down and said we dont do that here. The experience felt rude and awkward.

The gym is really busy and overrun with kids that are too young and aren't serious, delaying the workouts for other people. The pool is large and nice. However, in this day and age, it's inappropriate that the men's locker room has shared showers and naked adults washing around in front of very young kids. It's just nasty. Put on a towel. Dry and wet saunas, full gym. While a gym like Planet Fitness doesn't have a pool, they have other great amenities and their equipment is cleaner. Folks at this Y tend not to wipe equipment off...
