Overall it's a great place. Plenty of equipment and all the extras, pools, sauna, hot tub, steam room...I've been a member since I moved to Hilliard 15 years ago. However there is a group that lets their kids run wild in the exercise area and those kids are usually not supervised by an adult. Those children are on equipment they have no business being on unsupervised and the staff rarely says anything to them. Last year I was in the exercise area with my 14 year old son was at the time pushing 6 feet tall and knew what he was doing was approached by a staff member for being in the weight room by himself and I was no more than 10 feet away from him. This situation was very frustrating because of the reasons above. I have the feeling that the staff does not want to upset this particular group above so they turn the other way and let things go on they usually wouldn't. if you go in the basketball gym the floor is overrun with a group of boys who are disrespectful and rude especially to girls and women. Most of these boys have no parent on site they are dropped off at the "Y" and left alone. This group called my 13 year old daughter the B-WORD because she wanted to share the court with them and they said she had no rights. I was there and witnessed this personally. The are loud, they argue and push and shove. My two girls will not go inn there to shoot because of them. There needs to be a YMCA Staff member at all times in the basketball gym. It probably sounds like I hate the place...I don't. There are just a few things I find annoying and unfair to everyone.
