O'Fallon Family YMCA - Missouri

The workout area is just so-so and not too big, can get overly crowded at times. The indoor pool is a nice amenity, but they need to crank up the heat. Anytime I've went there to swim it was quite cold.

Nice facilities and clean. My complaint is that the pool is suppose to be heated and that is why we chose to go there. My 2 year old daughter has Juvenile Arthritis and being in the pool will help her. But every time we have gone the pool is freezing cold. I don’t know how that is but every single time it’s cold. For the money I am rethinking this YMCA because of this.

I have never been to the YMCA before, but I love the song. I like to think that every YMCA in the Milky Way Galaxy reflects these ideals. Because I too, believe, that it is indeed true to these lyrics. I like to believe that the writer of these songs must have stayed at the YMCA all of their life to be able to write the inspirational lyrics of this masterpiece of a poem. Here are the lyrics in case you have not heard this song. Once you hear this song you don't even need to go to the YMCA: 'Young man, there's no need to feel down. I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground. I said, young man, 'cause you're in a new town There's no need to be unhappy. Young man, there's a place you can go. I said, young man, when you're short on your dough. You can stay there, and I'm sure you will find Many ways to have a good time. It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A. It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A. They have everything for you men to enjoy, You can hang out with all the boys ... It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A. It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A. You can get yourself cleaned, you can have a good meal, You can do whatever you feel ... Young man, are you listening to me? I said, young man, what do you want to be? I said, young man, you can make real your dreams. But you got to know this one thing! No man does it all by himself. I said, young man, put your pride on the shelf, And just go there, to the Y.M.C.A. I'm sure they can help you today. It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A. It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A. They have everything for you men to enjoy, You can hang out with all the boys ... It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A. It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A. You can get yourself cleaned, you can have a good meal, You can do whatever you feel ... Young man, I was once in your shoes. I said, I was down and out with the blues. I felt no man cared if I were alive. I felt the whole world was so tight ... That's when someone came up to me, And said, young man, take a walk up the street. There's a place there called the Y.M.C.A. They can start you back on your way. It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A. It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A. They have everything for you men to enjoy, You can hang out with all the boys ... Y.M.C.A.... you'll find it at the Y.M.C.A. Young man, young man, there's no need to feel down. Young man, young man, get yourself off the ground. Y.M.C.A.... you'll find it at the Y.M.C.A. Young man, young man, there's no need to feel down. Young man, young man, get yourself off the ground. Y.M.C.A.... just go to the Y.M.C.A. Young man, young man, are you listening to me? Young man, young man, what do you wanna be?

While I enjoyed the facility, there are some facts that you need to be aware of... my car window was shattered and my purse stolen this past Sunday at 1:00 in the afternoon while parked near the door. The police said they have tried to get the YMCA to install cameras for years with no success. I was in the building fir 15 mins. Criminals camp out in the parking lot watching to see if you take a bag in with you or if you have anything of value in your car. The YMCA boasts of being a "safe and nurturing" environment for kids. If you know there are criminals in your parking lot and choose not to do anything (cameras, security) about it then you should responsible for what takes place on your premises. And, how can you boast of a safe environment? I had no idea the number of incidents.... hundreds and hundreds of cases over the years.

This facility is fine for the gym, pool etc. However, volunteering for them is a nightmare! If you are volunteering for for your college or high school beware! They are so unorganized and play everything by ear. If you don't have a choice and you HAVE to volunteer for them I suggest you bring a sheet and get multiple signatures each day for proof. My hours ended up getting resolved because my school realized what the YMCA was doing, but don't trust this organization to help you recieve a good grade. I would think for a volunteer who dedicated so much time and energy that the Y would have at least appreciated me. If you can stay away do...if not just be over prepared and ready to clock your own hours with lots of proof.
