The Eldrige YMCA is nothing more than the cheapest babysitter and daycare. and that's what you can expect if you go work out there you're working out in A-day care full of inconsiderate little kids that don't do anything other than take pictures and hog the equipment. they just sit there laughing and playing and giggling the whole time as you walk around patiently trying to find some way to sneak in, reminding yourself that you're charged $60 a month for this. The director has no care at all that they drive off middle aged people. the only people that they cater to are those that need babysat and extreme older citizens that are there during the daytime there is no room for the working person. If you try and voice your frustration the only thing they recommend is that you either come in at 4:30 in the morning or potentially just find a different YMCA to go work out at it's not convenient for them to host you at their ymca.

It's so frustrating they won't say, do, or act at all about the kids.

Read morePerhaps others enjoy the window view of the pool with the sunlight bouncing into the water, I preferably enjoy a cloudy rainy day when swimming in the pool. Nothing better than seeing lightning and hurricanes passing by when swimming here. The walls are super bright, it has 3 pools. 1 to do laps, 1 to relax, stand to do cardio in for the elderly and another for children to play in with fun buckets to splash the screaming kids in as the parents sit bored on their phones on the bleachers. 😁
After a few laps in, protect and calm yourself in the relaxation of the coed sauna for those 16 and up. Very spacious that fits many people inside. Please cover yourself up for the respect of others. 👍
Overall, plenty of parking and quiet in the middle of Eldridge just off of US 61. Worth the drive from any direction...
