Marin YMCA — Local services in San Rafael

I haven’t been to this ymca since before the pandemic, but they ran a great youth basketball league for 1st thru 4th grade that really filled a gap in the Marin youth sports landscape.

The gym is not large and during moderate to very busy times, it’s difficult to get on the machines in a timely manner. My problem lies with the black mold and dirt I see in the ladies showers. Since I can carve some of it off the grout in the shower stall with my fingernail, I’m pretty sure it could be remedied by a thorough cleaning. My fiancé claims the men’s showers are clear of mold. The shower heads are really old, as are the soap dispensers, so I bring my...
