Ymca

I went today with my husband and son. Spent $15 to swim for 1 hr and 45 min. First there arent lockers to lock up your stuff so you have to take it with you and put it on a bench. Second, there is a ladies, mens and childrens locker room. Okay but my issue is my autistic son cant go by himself! Yet he's not allowed to go with his dad. So basically he has to go with us in the family room which there is only 1 of. My issue with this is we had to wait 5 min and cold and who comes out??? A worker who had to use the bathroom! Not to mention 2 other ladies withour kids who were ahead of us but got tired of waiting! Why were any if them using a room designed for families or people with kids luke us!!! We WON'T be back!!!Terrible and way too stressful and not worth the $15!! This is the Houma YMCA! I remember it being way bettet when I was growing up! What a shame!! more

most machines are always taken in cardio room- which is tiny. if there is a person on the machine you want (expecially the treadmills, ellipticals or the gazelle thing, then you'd better go back later) the staffs rather rude. also, the air conditioner is NEVER on. they really dont have that much to do besides swimming, or cardio or weights thats for college students or adults that work more

Unfortunately Thibodaux has no YMCA. To enjoy such things, we go to the YMCA in houma, located on Valhi Blvd, right next to the Houma Christian School. They have a great equipment room for weightlifting and working out, an aerobic room, an olympic sized swimming pool wich has three or four lanes roped off for lap swimming while the rest of the pool is available for kids to play. They also offer a suana in the men's and women's bathrooms as well as a whirlpool for relaxing. The YMCA has an in-house daycare room which provides daycare while the parents are working out. The YMCA also has extensive sports programs for the young and young at heart. They are now registering for the adult flag football program as well as the soccer programs. They are always overstaffed with very friendly people who are ever so willing to help. They offer swimming lessons, even lessons for the challenged individual, something others in the area don't offer. This is the place to be for exercising or just relaxing in a great Christian environment.The YMCA offers memberships at discounted rates for families who can't afford the whole price, what a great way to ensure Christian values. peace, nola more
