O'Fallon Illinois YMCA

Child Watch is located on the first floor, on the entrance to the right. Extraordinary nursery room! Plenty of natural light and huge compared to other YMCA's Child Watch rooms. My only observation to the staff is, and I know dealing with kids is not easy, is not to yell to the kids. It looks like some of the staff also have their own kids there, and the way they were talking to them was kinda rough and they also used the same tone with the other kids. I stayed 2 full hours on the tables next to the Child Watch room and I could clearly hear everything that was going on. I will still bring my kid to this place, but not as on a regular basis.

Always clean, always friendly, always a great experience..lots of classes to choose from, indoor pool w schedule free swim choices, sauna...all around my fave gym in the area having tried others I always end up back here!

My family and I love this YMCA! It might as well be our second home. My children are recognized by the staff like Lauri, Blanche, and Lindsey in Child Watch. The facility is well kept and maintained. I have never had to alter my workout due to workout equipment being broken, unserviced, or unavailable and I appreciate the approachable and friendly staff. Happy the mask mandate has been lifted so smiles can shine bright.

Update: the new renovations to the women's and family locker rooms are very nice. Lends more space to each area.

My family includes 4 children ages 4-10 years old, and mid 30's parents.The front staff at the front desk, child watch, and swimming department are GREAT!! I could walk to the East Belleville location without breaking a sweat, but I still choose to drive the 13 minutes to the O'Fallon YMCA. Every question I have they are able to answer or at least get me to the best person to answer it. The swimming instructors are thorough in both general lessons and semi-private. All four kids and one parent are on their 3rd session of swim lessons; and we will continue to take lessons at O'Fallon. The locker rooms are always clean, as well as the child watch area. Added bonus for my family is running into the kids Great-Grandma as she is also an O'Fallon YMCA Member :)

Just excellent. I used to frequent the Belleville location and it's nice but has a much smaller parking lot. The people here are all friendly and facilities are very clean. I often joke with my wife that the restrooms and equipment has that hospital clean feel about it. Can't recommend it enough

My kids attended summer camp at this location. The counselors and facility were fabulous. Camp definitely helped my pre teen focus on something else besides a tablet and her brother was usually so exhausted that he was falling asleep by 7 and excited to go back to camp the next day. I highly recommend this camp. Register early!!

I like this Y location because there seems to be less unsupervised children in cardio and weight areas than other Y locations in the area. The equipment is nice, and there’s a variety of cardio machines. The only drawback is there isn’t a lot of space to do floor exercises—Belleville is a better location for that.

Class was amazing this evening. They have childcare and a huge child facility with 5 childcare providers in the care room - plenty of room to play tag hide and seek and art projects! Pool is nice with a sauna 😍 great after lifting. Locker rooms are all under renovations but almost complete within the next 2 weeks. Nice flooring and swimsuit dryer in the locker room. Basketball court is a full court and volleyball court for pre-k - adult leagues. Staff is plentiful & very warm. Guests were friendly. Like the cardio overlooks the sunset 🌅 plenty of space cardio, track and weight room, yoga studio - upper class rooms with free weights and cardio rooms. Well organized facility.

Incredibly clean and accommodating. Shout out to Stephanie who works the front desk. What a lovely host. Her pride in the facility made me feel like a good friend that she invited into her home.

We think this YMCA is well run! The app is great and easy to look for classes that fit our family’s schedule.

I enjoy the variety of workout classes offered. The child watch center takes amazing care of my son while I work out. I feel very comfortable with him in their care while I take some time to work on myself. The facilities are clean and the equipment is well taken care of. All the members of the YMCA are friendly and it's a nice environment. It doesn't feel like a "gym" but a family and friends. The swimming lessons provided for children is great and we have done several sessions with our son. I am very happy with our choice to use the YMCA for our family and highly recommend it to others!

I have fallen in love with Zumba thanks to Benita’s 4:15 class! I’ve been going regularly for over a year now. There is such an amazing energy with a great group of people, the music is on point, and it’s so much fun! She always says there are no wrong moves, just have fun. I try to get to her class as much as I can. It makes working out so much more enjoyable. Keep up the outstanding work Benita!!!

I like this YMCA, and I’ve been pretty much going to this YMCA my entire life. I’ve never had trouble getting a swimming lane, and the workout area is always super clean. I remember a time when I myself as a young child, playing in the YMCA daycare area, and now, over 15 years later, I’m still using this gym. It feels like family, something that has always been a part of my life. I enjoy working out here and the staff is always so kind and helpful. What I feel like the YMCA has that no other gym has, is that it centers around family. It really is a family gym. Im excited to continue working on my health journey here and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the YMCA.

My family and I are very thankful for the O'Fallon YMCA! The employees (always wonderful), the classes (always great), the facility (always clean), Kids Zone (my kids love it!) but I have to say that we are most thankful for the amazing swimming program. Our children becoming strong swimmers is very important to my husband and I. We are so impressed with how the program is run. Sometimes with group lessons the kids don't really learn much. The YMCA program was revamped and it was done well! We're so impressed with the program, the class sizes, the instructors patience and hard work with the kids. I cannot believe how well my kids are doing with their swimming. My oldest who was once very nervous about the water is now a strong swimmer...entering Level 5! My son (7) who wasn't a huge fan loves the water now and is making great progress and my youngest (4) is just doing so well! They have reached this point with the amazing instructors that they've had...Brett and Nicole have been absolutely amazing with my kids. They are wonderful instructors and should be very proud of their accomplishments. My family and I thank you! Keep up the great work!

Basically my second home haha, free weights are awesome. Gets a little crowded around 5 but that’s normal almost everywhere. Staff are awesome, equipment is in good condition and is of good quality. Definitely would recommend!

Friendly staff, often greeted upon checking in. Schedules for classes are up to date. Child watch is the best feature for parents wanting a moment to themselves. They take pride in keeping our kids happy and safe and learning. Cardio room and weight room can get busy but the track is a good back up to walk until the crowds move out a bit. The pool and sauna are both well maintained.

Love this Y. Great child care, we took our son for beginner swim lessons - loved it. Spin class with Mary is great, spacious locker rooms, friendly desk and child care team, machines are all clean and in good condition, love the upstairs track. We love it all around.

I am at the Y pretty much every day. The staff is super friendly and most know my family and I by name. My kiddos have taken swim lessons and one session of soccer. The member rates for kids activities is fair and worth it. I do wish I qualified for a corporate discount but my current employer does not have a contract with the Y. (Hopefully they will eventually).

The O'Fallon, IL YMCA is amazing! The kids love going to the kid area. The equipment and rooms are always clean. The pool is a huge plus! The people are always so nice. Plus since I'm newer at this whole working out thing, there is no judgement! My daughter is now able to do some cardio with me too. I also highly suggest their swim classes for the littles!

I love the community atmosphere here. After working out, it's common for members to hang out around the tables, drink coffee, and socialize with each other and the staff.

The cardio equipment were replaced and updated in 2014 and has been kept up nicely.
The staff are extremely friendly.

The child care available is actually structured a little. Big kids separate from little ones and there is consistency with staff members so they learn the kids names and temperaments.

The only negative I can think of is I wish there was more floor space for equipment free workouts. It's difficult to find a space to do push-ups, work abs, or stretch out without being in the way for someone.
