Thinking of switching from my current gym, which is kinda run down, to the local YMCA which is a bit better setup.
It's been awhile since I was at one, are they still infested with kids? How about the weight room? Surely they're not in there

i go to a YMCA and its not that bad. Yes, its infested with kids but thats only on the first floor for my facility. The entire second floor is a gym where barely anyone goes besides cardio bunnies and a few nice older people. I can go to the gym before class sometime between 6am-10am and be alone in the weightlifting area. For me, from 3-6pm is the time to best avoid the gym. Thats when it fills up with people coming from work and other things (which doesnt bother me because im usually on campus or at work during that time). It depends on how populated your YMCA usually is though. Hope I helped.

The y is great. Can't beat it's value.

The y is ok, mine is pretty crowded though. There are only 2 squat racks and 2 flat benches, so it gets pretty crowded. There is always someone waiting to use either one and there are never enough barbells for everyone. Make sure to check the weight room at your local Y before you sign up.

Florence?
Depends on which one you go to obviously. If it's in the ghetto then there'll be more annoying kids. There aren't kids in the workout rooms tho and that's what matters. If you want to swim make sure there's adult lap swim or else you won't be able to do anything.
