Negative experience: The staff is mostly welcoming but the director is a jerk. Recently and in times past he has come into a group of older ladies (grandmas + great grandmas) playing bridge and yelled at them for drinking too much coffee and only paying a quarter for the drink, and they donate .25 whether they consume any coffee or not. Could be he just has a problem with all women … I wonder if any others have had problems with him?!

Negative experience: This YMCA is awful. Especially if your serious about lifting. To many people standing around hogging the machines. I’m in town from Blair and the ymca in my small town is so much better than this one!! The staff is the only reason why I gave this a star at all!

Negative experience: I’ve been working out at this gym for over a year now. Never had any problems until the other day when I went to workout. I had my daughter with me and she didn’t want to play in basketball in the big gym so I worked out with her in the exercise room. Which I have done several times before. I never work out in there if the door is closed. This time (the door was open) before we came in I doubled checked to see if there were any signs on the door, nothing was posted. So, I proceeded to get weights out and start my workout. (Note: this is in the middle of the day when they don’t have classes, or child watch) In the middle of my workout, Sandy the gym manager came in to yell at me, that “we normally don’t let people come in here. It’s not fair for the people who do the workout classes to have jump ropes on the floor, weights everywhere and we sanitize everything” i said “ that’s fine I can sanitize what I use” I didn’t mention there were literally no signs nor have I ever had anyone say anything to me before in the past, because I really didn’t want to get into it with her. And not to mention, I always pick up my stuff before I leave. I don’t think it’s fair to pay for a membership somewhere and have someone tell me that I can’t workout somewhere and be talked to like I’m a child. If they don’t want people to workout in a room that’s never used during the day, put up a sign or keep the door shut. Not sure if I’ll be coming back. Pretty sure I’ll be cancelling my membership.

Negative experience: NOT working family friendly at all!! All classes even kid swim lessons and child watch are at times that would only work if one parent is a stay at home parent. Adult classes are even poorly scheduled to accommodate working adults. VERY DISAPOINTED.

Negative experience: Its 2019 you would think they were able to share among other YMCA databases that a member has signed up or could sign up for a membership online via the blair website which isnt possible for either scenarios. I think its ridiculous I have to travel with my sick son to sign up in person. But instead I signed up online and for the sarpy YMCA since it's not an option to sign up for the blair one online. . .now my son is not sick and we are traveling 45miles to go to the Sarpy YMCA because of this technical issue that could be resolved with some updated software and possibly younger or more tech savvy staff. We are not impressed at all with the outside of the Blair YMCA either. Not very clean and the lawn needs to be cut.

Blair Family YMCA

Dear jmeyers300,

We apologize for your inconvenience, unfortunately there is not an option to become a member online automatically as we require a signature and photo ID to be taken. We do participate in nationwide membership giving you access to any YMCA nationwide and accepting any other nationwide members of other YMCA's.
In regards to our lawn maintenance, something that makes us very unique as a non-profit, is our lawn is maintained by a volunteers. As we are a small community YMCA and rely on volunteerism for many roles within our Nonprofit. This allows us to keep our membership rates as low as possible and programming costs down. Again, we apologize for your inconvenience and we hope you understand from our response that our YMCA is a very unique non-profit organization.

Negative experience: Been hearing around town that this place has MAJOR mold issues in pool and weight room area...I took it with a grain of salt initially...Well, I got confirmation through someone closely involved with the YMCA that it's true! Beware people!

Blair Family YMCA

Hi Nick, this is the first allegation my staff has had of this issue and please know we regularly pass our inspections top notch. Unfortunately we could not locate a Nick Stinson that has recently visited our facility. Beware of believing unsubstantiated rumors. We would really like to hear more about where you heard this information from, if you could please contact me directly at 402-533-9622. Thank you, Angie.

Negative experience: Thinking about donating to the Blair YMCA? DON'T BOTHER. I was hopeful when they got rid of their previous CEO Jeff Morgan, that things would get better, but the reality is that there are some nasty Board members running the show looking out for their egos and not the best interest of the children. I was a member of that Y for a decade. When they fired the Head Swim Coach and ruined her life, along with her son's, and hurt all of the approximately 100 children on the swim team, I confronted Mr. Morgan and because of his arrogance, ended up yelling at him. Because I stood up to him, the Board thought it best to have the Sheriff show up at my door 2 days after Christmas last year handing me a letter banning me for life. Merry Christmas from supposedly a Christian organization! After Mr. Morgan left, I was hopeful to have our family re-up our membership and go back. I just found out today that my ban will remain in effect. What a joke. That's what I get for doing what's right and standing up for a family friend and trying to protect the kids. This YMCA needs to be shut down!
