Im currently in town visiting family and needed a place to get some (training) in. So my sister and I decided to go to the Y since she has been a member for quite some time and they had just built a new facility. My old gym only has weights and machines. The YMCA interested me because they offer much more diversity in potential workouts.

While we were starting to get our Bench Press on, a person came over and interrupted our weight training. He stated that he is the CEO here and asked if we were members here? There was No "Welcome To the facility", "Are you new here?" "Can I show you around the facility?" But instead, he goes into stating that "our facility doesn't allow personal training from the outside" ..

I responded by stating: " we're training and I'm offering my sister a spot on bench press."

But did this end at this point, NO! This guy then rudely states that I'm clearly "BUFF" and clearly was an outside "trainer".

Would this of happened if I was wearing a sweat shirt and sweatpants and utilizing a cardio machine or if I was a man?

One time in this building was enough for me and can clearly see that the few weight lifters that DO use this gym don't matter. This facility will stay running clearly and only for families and team sports and not for what a gym can offer in all areas.

If you are a woman and don't want to be judged then you clearly shouldn't go to the "Young Mans Christian Facility"

UPDATE. this review was originally posted on the YMCA, columbus, ne facebook page, and Cory Honold (CEO) took the steps to even remove the reviews tab on the FACEBOOK page because of so many likes on this post, he is running a type of business that cannot provide a professional service, so needed to take down community response from everyone to see.

Reason of review: Poor customer service.

Preferred solution: I cancelled membership immediately.

YMCA Of The USA Cons: Judgmental, Cannot lift weights, Cannot be buff, No weight training, No encourgement.

Location: Columbus, Nebraska
