Editorial Review for YMCA – by Whitney Friedlander

In Short
The first U.S. branch of the YMCA started in Boston in 1851; there are now more than 2,500 locations nationwide, making it the country's largest nonprofit community service program. Each YMCA reflects the community it's in, offering differing services based on the area. Most include fitness areas with aerobic equipment, classes and racquetball and tennis courts. Many also have day care and after-school programs, as well as summer day camps.

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

Don't allow the Ymca to draught your account. I had to get the bank to call them finally and I still didn't get all the money back that was illegally taken from my account. Avoid bank draughts because the ymca has the worst customer service of any gym in the area. I was a member for two hours and I think I should get my money back. The office does not return phone calls.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Maddonna61, Get a grip. The YMCA has been around for a lot longer then eather of us. They are a great organization that does a lot of good for many people. I myself learned to swim through the Y. as have many others. As far as any Religous implications you mentioned, Freedom of Religion is one of the Foundations of Our Great Nation, so I suggest to you, with all due respect, If you don't like what the YMCA stands for, then go join Balleys Fitness, Golds Gym or any other fine establishment and go on with your life and quit demoralizing the beleifs of others, Especially if no one is hurting you. Live and Let Live. Have a great day and GOD BLESS !!!!
