This will have been my 3rd YMCA I've been a member at in the last 15 years and is by far the most disappointing. On the outside the facility looks nicer but inside it's clear that little upkeep takes place. The walls are noticably dirty and water fountains are scum covered. While that might seem like a little thing to notice, I feel it speaks for how the overall building is kept. I did see staff members cleaning the cardio equipment more than once which was appreciated. My 4 year old attended child watch a few times but I stopped sending her when she told me staff members yelled across the room at kids. They also played Spongebob on the tv of all the other more educational, not to mention more appropriate, options out there these days. To pay the same rate as the other YMCA's I've been to seems like a joke when half the amenities are offered at this location. I was happy to leave the area after a few months and had reason to cancel...

Last October I decided that it was time to make a life change and build a lifestyle of health and wiser choices. To do that I knew that I would need structure, support, encouragement, someone/people to push and challenge me. I had tried the different work out scenarios; running on my own, joining the local gym, trying to find the “right” fit. It wasn’t until my wife and I joined the Belle Chasse Y that I found the “right fit”. From the structure, availability to get to the gym before or after work, the ability to challenge myself in the multitude of programs they offer, and not to mention the opportunity to sign my little girl for extra curricular activities. The staff, trainers, and life coaches truly are people who want to help their members make life changes, not just lose weight for a quick fix. Thanks BC Y for creating a first ever desire to go to the gym...consistently, and better my health and lifestyle for me...
