Ott Family YMCA

I love bringing my family to the YMCA! this facility is always clean and staff is friendly and helpful. We enjoy the sports program, open gym, open swim, open basketball court. We also enjoy the activities set up throughout the year, like trunk or treat or speghetti dinners!

Dear YMCA Administrator I am writing to express my deep concern about the treatment my 4-year-old daughter has received from Ms. Mac, a staff member at the childcare center. Despite the YMCA's mission to strengthen communities and promote inclusivity, my daughter has been made to feel unsafe, uncomfortable, and excluded. Over the past two months, Ms. Mac has consistently displayed dismissive behavior towards my daughter. She has rolled her eyes when my daughter asked simple questions and deliberately left her out of group activities, such as art crafts. These incidents have occurred repeatedly, forcing me to advise my daughter to avoid interacting with Ms. Mac. I attempted to discuss this matter with the supervisor, seeking an explanation for Ms. Mac's behavior. Unfortunately, the supervisor seemed unconcerned and unresponsive, leaving me to wonder if discrimination based on race or ethnicity might be a factor. As a parent, it is distressing to think that my child may be subjected to such treatment. The YMCA's mission statement emphasizes the importance of strengthening communities and promoting inclusivity. I urge you to investigate this matter and take necessary actions to ensure that all children, regardless of their background, feel welcome and valued at the childcare center. I would appreciate a prompt response regarding the steps you will take to address this situation. Sincerely, Samrawit Joens

Every one is so helpful and respectful. I enjoy the silver sneaker class with Joni she is Great to work with. Best class ever!

The people who work at the Ott YMCA are super friendly and helpful. They are quick to lend a helping hand and to listen if you need an ear. There are a variety of group exercise classes as well as personal trainers to utilize. The equipment has been updated in recent years with a smith machine, squat rack and multiple cable machines. I always feel at home when I work out at the YMCA.

I love the Ott YMCA! Since the first day that I started going, I felt welcomed. Almost every time I come in, I am told hello by name from the desk attendants. The gym and locker rooms are always kept clean. They have a great variety of equipment and machines to use and offer personal training. Plus the sports programs for kids are awesome, my nephew has played 3 basketball seasons and I’ve seen so much progress after each one. I really love my Y! ☺️
