C.W. Avery Family YMCA - Plainfield, Illinois

Great staff but the changing rooms and bathrooms are not well kept and the shower curtains in the bathrooms were weirdly installed. Water was spraying everywhere.

I would have liked a bit more swim time for the amount I paid but I am fine with it a bit because they allowed outside food.

Love coming here for their gym. They have a sauna, lap pool and regular pool with a couple slides, a gym, basketball court, and more. They also offer classes such as yoga and pilates which are nice. Only wish they had longer working hours on Saturday as they close at 6, and it can get quite busy and crowded later in the day.

Nice place but I'm giving it a terrible review because they dont care the age of male boys in the female locker room. While boys over the age of 5 are not allowed there, my wife sees boys as old as 12 in there EVERY Saturday. Because of this my wife has to change in the bathroom stall with my 4yo daughter bc the other parents don't want to use the family bathroom. Shameful

This is a honest review for any family looking to use YMCA open gym hours for basketball. There is absolutely no reasonable time set for open basketball shooting. Their hours are always occupied with FULL COURT pickup basketball games going on. When they advertise open times court time, if you think you will be able to practice, you will just get pushed off the court by inconsiderate YMCA members that will take over your hoop. There are also members who will threaten you so that you will leave, and they have the court to themselves. Trying to practice basketball with my younger son, in a YMCA youth league, is impossible to do at this facility. The supervisors who should be taking control and help, but instead they do minimal effort, and nothing ever gets resolved. I have been raising this issue for months now, and nothing changes. Quitting this YMCA is a decision I wish I had done month(s) ago.

Great place for fitness and exercise. Has swimming pool with swim classes, teen rooms with play stations, steam room, running track, kids play room with great staff to take care of kids while you can workout. Friendly staff.

Excellent and clean facilities. However over the years I’ve noticed staff treat a lack of respect for the teenagers, especially the teenage boys. A teenage girl under 16 never has a problem using the free weights but if I group of guys who are actively spotting each other do it they get scolded and booted out of the weight room. Many workers are nice so I hate to generalize but many of them, especially the older ones, seem to get a kick out of kicking kids out of the gym.

This is my local Y. I love it. It's clean, reasonably priced, and they have plenty of programs for my kid. They also run an excellent after-school program and before school program. If you're local, then its definitely worth considering over another gym if you have a family.
