YMCA of Fremont Nebraska

If I had to describe this YMCA in one word it would be, "disappointing". Pros1) Basketball courts, and really this is the only positive. Cons1) Hours, worst hours of any gym in the world. I'm in Lincoln a lot and am glad I kept my membership to the Lincoln Athletic Club. The YMCA here doesn't even open until 12:30 on Sunday and closes at 5/6 on Saturday depending on the season.2) Youth Sports, every Saturday morning which is usually the only time I have on Saturday to go the gym they have some stupid youth sports that use every single gym they have. So I can't shoot hoops or go through my normal workout. And they never include that shit on their calendar so it's not until I arrive at the Y that I receive the infuriating news. 3) Free Weights, biggest tools in the world on the free weights. The best part is how they take 30 minutes to do one set of lifts and I never see anyone sweating while they are lifting weights. Not to mention how they stare at anyone working hard. They only have one damn squat rack and there are always people doing biceps curls on it.4) Temperature, may seem like I'm being picky but the temperature in the weight room is kept at like 60 degrees. How the hell can anyone get a good sweat in with it being kept so cold? Wearing a jacket to lift? 5) Fremont.

This is a nice facility, but my biggest complaint is the pool police. They tell you "You can't do this, you can't do that, you can't wear this, you can't wear that". Yet they think nothing of people spreading their fecal bacteria in the hot tub and pool when they enter without taking a nude shower first. It is one of the rules there, but it is NEVER enforced. Hot tubs, especially, are bad places as the bacteria is in a warm environment, and people breathe it in when the tub is active. For a "family" Y, they are much more concerned about image that they are about the safety of the patrons. Personally, I never feel welcome in the pool area. I always feel like I'm being watched for violations. Oddly enough, I'm one of the few that actually does shower before I go in.

We had a birthday party booked for the gymnastics room from 2-4. We had the party 1st and another party showed up at 3 to use the gym room. So they double booked. Our kids got shafted out of using the gym room. Very unorganized. Very unhappy kids. Never again.
