Y M C A

My wife are at the Smithville YMCA 3 to 5 days a week. We are retired and exercising regularly is essential. The staff and the equipment are the best you'll find anywhere. There are people of all ages and different physical requirements and all are cordial helpful. So far we love it!

Feel comfortable using one wipe for all machines. They don't want you to wipe down any seats keep in mind other people drag their dirty towels around. Good times.

Most amazing family oriented facility I love it there!

Small facility compared to other Y's, but they were accommodating for a kids birthday party. Pool is large. Multiple locker rooms, including a family one.

I very much enjoyed the workout. It's a great program, and I'm looking forward to my next visit. The staff is outstanding, very helpful, always with a great smile. I'm glad I finally got started.

Very nice facility. Family oriented

Everybody from the staff is very nice and friendly. My husband and I signed up for swim lessons in January and our instructor Karen was the best! It's not easy to learn how to swim as an adult but she was very good at explaining all the techniques and helping us gain confidence. The other swim instructor Hilary also gives us some great tips. After the swim lessons, we started going swimming on our own to practice and keep in shape. They recently changed the lockers which makes the whole experience even more enjoyable.

Used to have a membership here for about 5 years then moved away for active duty military. On leave for a week and tried to get a weeks pass. $30 for a week membership! Holy cow!!!! No thanks. The place is clean and people are nice but to me this shows the place has changed. In the past I paid $10 for a weeks pass. Guess I just need to move from the old days of military support.

I have only been to this YMCA as a visitor, when my children's swim team competed against their swim team. Here's what I can say as a visitor: - Small parking lot, and on-street parking seems disallowed. Overflow parking is supposed to be at some nearby park within walking distance. - Pool seems meant for teams, workouts, lessons, and laps. It's not a pool built for play and leisure swim. It's long and narrow, with a diving end and a shallow end. However, I don't know this Y's schedule, so there may be time when there is leisurely swimming/play allowed and encouraged. - Limited bleacher space, and even more severely limited deck space. When two teams are competing there is precious little room for parent spectators, and the competitors are bull-penned in other areas such as the gym. Read: during swim meets, the gym is closed and one or more other areas are closed. - The gym and equipment rooms seem to have equipment in good shape. - I have not been in the locker rooms. Since the Y as a whole seems well maintained and clean, I assume the locker rooms are as well. - I did not see a bike rack and I do not know how convenient this Y is to access by RIPTA.

Pool, gym style room with lots of equipment. Men's, women's, and family changing rooms. Family and community oriented. Lots of programs! Great place to go to get in shape. The staff is fast and friendly. They really care about community and families!
