The YMCA of Rock River Valley - Northeast Family YMCA

My daughter and I took my twin grandkids to Healthy Kids Day and we were so incredibly impressed! What a well oiled machine! And every single one of the young men working with them were exceptional!! They made it so fun for the little ones and even seemed to be having fun themselves! And the face painter is the best we've ever seen! These were the faces on my grandchildren the entire time! Thank you so much!

For as new as it is this location should have a sauna/steam room. The pool only has one or two lap lanes open and a life guard is at the end of the lane watching your every stroke. The gym is ok, however felt like I was being watched constantly and had to wait for equipment more than at the river location. Do yourself a favor and go to the Swedish American location on the river. Better overall vibe!

Stopped in during a special night program for the local library system to get an idea of what the building had to offer. Had a lot of questions, and Chris at front desk had a lot of answers. She was super friendly and helpful and made us aware of a ton of benefits about this location and becoming a member of the Y in general. The building is cool too, offering a lot of opportunities and information about classes available. It was very clean overall (even the glass windows overlooking the basketball courts were so pristine it was like they weren't there at all). But this review is mostly in appreciation for Chris and the time she took to talk with us and share her knowledge, even during this after-hours event.

"I was trying to teach my 7-year-old daughter to swim in one of the lap lanes, but the lifeguard kept telling us to go faster or move to the other side of the pool. Despite there being an empty lane, they continued to bother us, and eventually, my daughter lost interest in swimming. She even said she wouldn't go back to the pool again, which made me decide to cancel our membership. I'm willing to pay a bit more at The Peak, where we can enjoy our time without distractions.

First time coming on a Friday. We came to play in the pool. I have 3 special needs boys. I gave them showers and got them dressed afterwards. We normally go to the other YMCA location A guy came in the room (we go in the family room) and said hello. I said hello back. He was standing by the cleaning stuff. So I thought he was a cleaner. He said we were here past the time that they closed. I told him I wasn't aware. The other locations dont close till 10pm. So I was taken back by that. We were heading to the elevators but the guy kept repeating himself and following us. I told him to stop. That at this point its harassment. He wouldn't stop I told him I'm going as fast as possible. That they are special needs. He said that I scared him that he's security. He didn't have a security outfit on. After he kept following me and harassing me and my kids. I told him I could have his job for this. He continued so I took his picture. I'll be talking to someone about this.
