I was super lucky when first moving to Titusville to get a place right near the YMCA here on Park and Harrison. Been going here for 2 years now with the family and It is a great facility which does not have much of a match in this area, so it is a very popular place and you end up seeing allot of folks that you know. Membership is about 85$ a month for a family but honestly its super worth it when you think of pool access, gym access, childcare access, etc. There is a startup fee as well but allot of the times they run specials for new members with a discounted or no startup fee.
Overall the facility had been redone within the past 5 or so years so it is very nice. Sometimes there is a few cobwebs that linger (above the elliptical on the west window corner, I named the daddy longleg there Andrew as we have been acquainted over the past few months), but other than Andrew everything including the equipment is nice and clean and they keep the chemwipes stocked for wiping things down.
The gym itself is of modest size. They have everything from freeweights to weight machines, treadmills to rowing machines. There is almost always a YMCA worker around if you need help with something. There is only 2 horizontal benches which is probably the one thing that holds me up, but it usually is only about a 5 minute wait before you can get on anything if you even run into that problem. Its a family facility so you can't expect everything an LA Fitness had because they have other activities a exclusively-gym facility does not. Sometimes kids will run through the gym area but its just something you have to watch out for being its a family facility.
Pool is super awesome, about a half a dozen or so lap lanes, a decently sized free swim area with water park to boot, and a nice staff of lifeguards who are great with the kids! Only thing here is the pool is only open for free swim for a limited time during the summer, which to be fair it does get cold, but we are in Florida so its never that bad, but oh well!
Speaking of great with the kids, my favorite part of the Y (and my kid's favorite) is the Kid's Center which is staffed by some super wonderful people who are awesome with my daughters. My kids love going there and playing with their friends they have made, since we go at a very regular schedule, and they love the crafts the workers there put on for them. Even if they are the only kids there the staff give them great one on one attention that I find super awesome as a parent because I don't ever have to worry about what they are doing there. Greatest part of the Y! Kids are always asking to go.
As part of your membership you also get a discount on classes for you and your kids. Lots of the typical classes: Spinning, Yoga, Karate, Swim Classes, Kids Soccer, etc. They are pretty good, sometimes you may not get the best iteration of a certain course but I've found the Y is very accommodating if you had any issues with the class so they are great things to try out. My oldest learned to swim here as well as played a season of soccer. I know she had a great time and learned allot.
Overall the staff is super friendly (always a warm welcome when you walk in), price is right, child care is the best, and the environment is perfect for a family. Keep a sharp eye for the no-startup fee...
