Shoreview YMCA

Positive experience: Great outdoor pool at this YMCA! Unfortunately there are too many cooks in the kitchen there. Communication with members is poor. Right now I tried to go to one of the classes. The schedule doesn't reflect the fact that the Y is closed today due to utilities issues. They definitely should update the schedules immediately to let everyone know classes are cancelled. Big plus: here's why i am likely to be a member long term: the community spirit here. It's not just a business. They have bigger vision of building community. Minus: they are not competitive for pays to instructors. Instructors are paid much under the market rate. Don't have much opportunities for growth. Great instructors definitely can be found here but only those who appreciate the community the ymca brings and can afford lower pay stay here. Those who need to 'pay their bills' with their instructor salary may need to leave to find a better pay elsewhere. Ymca! Do something about it and reward the instructors who bring people to the Y and who help you build stronger community there. Please appreciate them with better pay!

Fantastic experience: Comfortable place to get a workout. They have an indoor track and full equipment room.

Fantastic experience: A very spacious and comfortable place. The staff greets you each day and everyone is very friendly.
