Heart of the Valley YMCA - Kimberly, Wisconsin

the equipment is very nice, some barbells could use a quick cleaning but other than that everything is very well taken care of. the staff is incredibly kind, and they get to know you which makes me happy. the locker rooms (women’s at least) are kept clean and in good shape. the community here is amazing, everyone is kind and you get to make some “friends” here. they have all the equipment you may need to get a good lift. they also recently added bumper plates so you’re able to do olympic lifts if you want.

also- they have a pool and hot tub

I use this only for the gym. It is kept clean and organized for the most part. Most of the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The equipment is kept safe and always tagged to not be used if it’s waiting for repair.

Defiantly could use more lifting equipment. Also issues of high school kids constantly gathering in groups to goof around and take up equipment and not using it.

Lastly, the locker rooms wreak. There is carpet on the floor which is just a bacteria breeding ground especially with the pool and showers right there. Locker room isn’t always clean either.

Edit. Proof the locker rooms are nasty. This has been on the floor for over 2 weeks now. Completely unsanitary.

It was such a fun and great environment! My little sister took swim lessons, gymnastics, and dance classes and loved all of her coaches and teachers! We do have a membership that allows us to swim and go to the gym. Play basketball. There's so much to do here! In the summer, there's daycare for kiddos!!!

Been a fan of the YMCA since my youth. Active with it through my adult life. Great programs they offer. From youth to elderly. This YMCA has just a smaller pool. Used more for swimming lessons open swimming, and silver sneakers members.
Tons of programs for our youth. They don't discriminate. Just here to help people and set goals. Kids summer programs are just starting. Sign them up. Good way to keep them busy and involved in the communities. Get them out of the house. Children are watched and get graded for there performance. Highly recommend the YMCA. So much more than just a health club. Make you feel welcomed. They also offer scholarships for families that can't afford the membership. Again I highly recommend the YMCA. Was just there today. Also very clean YMCA. Fairly new building. It is off CE exit. Turn on Railroad to get to it. Turn right at the round about. First right will be the driveway after the apartments. Huge parking lot.

I love the activities at the Kimberly YMCA. However this parking lot is an absolute disaster and very dangerous. There is only one way in and out and frequently it is a 20 minute wait just to exit the lot. There are little ones running all over the parking lot and poor visibility. I am shocked someone hasn't been hurt already. We will not be using the YMCA due to this issue.

Our family has been loyal members of the YMCA for over 15 years. Great experience up until the past year at Heart of the Y. Their executive director is top notch, but I can't think of a staff that could be anymore rude and disrespectful than the current one that they have. The weight room and wellness center has turned into a glorified daycare for 13-, 14- and 15-year-old kids who are not being supervised. When trying to get staff to properly monitor the situation they have become rude and combative. The wellness center is not being properly staffed to address these issues. There are too busy either getting a workout in themselves or in the back room on a computer or on their phones. Colleen, the previous wellness coordinator was terrific. She was constantly walking throughout the center making sure that things were being properly monitored and there were never any issues. Just cancelled our family membership, not worth the $74 a month for such blatant disregard to members concerns.

The life guards at the pool are completely obnoxious... I was there with my 3 kids for about an hour and I was scolded no less then a dozen and half times about rule infractions by every single lifeguard there...it was a joke..my kids didn't want to stay because they were worried they were going to get yelled at for playing wrong...
It got to the point I just ignored the guards cause they were constantly on us like hawks! Never going to this Y pool again! My kids aren't going to drown in 3 ft of water when I'm literally right in the water with them... just a horrible obnoxious experience I definitely wouldn't recommend it to anyone !

My interactions with their front desk staff over the last year have been disappointing, to say the least. Some of the staff could really use a lesson in customer service. Their early childhood program directors and the martial arts instructors are amazing though, I highly recommend taking the classes they offer!
