Jazzercise Moundsview Moundsview Community Center/ymca

There is absolutely no management on staff after 430 with no one in charge, period. The management allows kids from the hood to loiter inside the facility, like 25-35 angry kids with zero supervision. Even broke up one of the fights myself in front of my 6yr old. Just recently went into a YMCA program with my family of 5 including my 15mo old to walk right in front of a kid smoking 20 feet from the entrance. Asked him to go down the sidewalk and he laughed and kept on with his "right to smoke wherever he wants". I go inside to tell someone to find out he's AN EMPLOYEE!?!? After he came in from break he continued to lip off at me in his ghetto slang and offered me his name and bosses card and told me how nobody's going to tell him what he can and can't do. I've never met an employee ANYWHERE with that much disregard for his job and it was apparant there was nobody in charge,he did it in front of two other coworkers who just looked down the entire time. If they can't even afford to keep a supervisor on duty they shouldn't be open and the YMCA should surely not be sponsoring family programs in that building. more

The Mounds View Community Center is a nice place to go to. There is a large gym, pool tables, a small child area to play in, and many other couches and tables to hang out at or do some work at. I took my son to a homeschooling gym class that is held at this facility. The instructor never spoke with the parents...we were just expected to send our children into the gym. There are many windows to watch the activities from so that was not a problem, but the instructor did not know how to maintain a class. There were way too many children enrolled (around 40-50 K-3 students) and many were not involved or doing the right things. There were some students who were using bad language and others who would push the little ones. A warning note was sent home to the parents but not much was ever said in class to the students. Maybe they need a new instructor. more
