Sanford Springvale YMCA

Do not have your kids attend the early learning center, their safety is at risk! None of the staff had ever met me before, but I was able to walk inside (“locked” doors weren’t locked), tell them I’m here to pick up “name” and they just let me leave with him. No ID check, didn’t ask for my name, didn’t do anything to confirm my identity, and let my child leave with a hypothetical stranger. I reported this to the director (she’s really nice) but then somehow my child who was attending there for his first two weeks suddenly became aggressive and hostile to staff and kids. Nowhere else, not a single time has he ever been aggressive or hostile to other people. He’s had tantrums, as any normal toddler but NEVER was hostile. So he was kicked out of the program on his second full week attending. At times he even came home with most of his lunch and was STARVING. So aside for what very much seems to be retaliation for reporting their neglect, they do not ensure the safety of your children there. I’d highly urge any parent to avoid this place as your kid will not be safe here. They’ll let any stranger grab your child.

The people at the front desk are always so welcoming. The gym is extremely clean, well having just enough people in it to be able to use all of the equipment when wanted. The locker rooms are very efficient as well.

We were here only for the showers which they allowed us to use for 3 dollars. Very clean, efficient and friendly service.

The exercise classes are excellent! Lots of early morning offerings AND after work options. The weight room is so much better since the renovation. I'm only really there for classes and weights, but there seems to be tons for family and community members too. It's super easy to get your money's worth.
