San Luis Obispo County YMCA

Such a great gym for a family. The childcare is wonderful and always staffed with great people. There are specific times, so be sure to check that out. The workout equipment is clean and works. Every so often something might be down. But rarely is it so full that I can't get the workout machine I want. I think every family in SLO should be a member. Also, it is incredibly affordable.

Let me preface this by saying that I love the YMCA mission, and have been a member at another YMCA for my whole life. This is a lengthy review, but I think it needs to be posted and I hope other ladies avoid this gym until this man is gone. I travel frequently and occasionally use this gym to work out. Came by this afternoon for a day pass, planning to work out, shower after, and be on my way to a Saturday event; They let me know that they close at 5, rather than 6 as I thought. Oh, well, no harm no foul, Ill just shower (rather than going all the way home to Los Osos) and work out another day instead. Boy did I have no idea what I was in for! When I checked in, there was an older/slightly elderly man working at the counter, who I recognized from my previous workouts there. Hes always come across as a little loud and brash, but I never gave it another thought. About 10 min before close, he started coming by the shower room multiple times yelling that they were closing, and that I needed to come out. I understand going by once as a 5 min heads up, but this guy came by 4 times in a very short period aggressively demanding I exit before they were even closed yet and as a female, extremely vulnerable in the shower, this was starting to feel very weird, confusing, and a little unsafe. I started worrying that he was going to try to open the door. Not a good feeling. When I came out at 5p on the dot, this man was standing outside of the door waiting for me! Yet another disconcerting and unnecessary tactic. At this point, I felt unsafe and had had enough. I moved away from him as quickly as I could, and said, You know, you dont need to keep hollering through the door, when I had responded that I heard you and you werent even closed yet. Its not really appropriate. This really set him off. As I was walking down the hall trying to leave, he FOLLOWED ME, wedging himself so that he was shoulder to shoulder with me, waving his index finger in my face, and shouting in my face about how he was completely in the right, and that what he was doing was totally appropriate and that he wanted me to leave. It was unreal and a little scary. He shouted a bunch of other things I dont remember, because I was just trying to get out of there and away from this nutter. When I made it to the front desk, there was another person there so I stopped, banking on safety in numbers. I turned to the older man who had been yelling and following me, and said, Sir, it is absolutely not okay to talk to someone like that, to shout or to act that way. I started audio recording the conversation on my phone because I was so disturbed and I let him know that. This, combined with having his coworker there, seemed to provide some level of accountability as he stopped shouting and began agitatedly saying that theyve had problems with people not coming out of the locker rooms, and then having to call the police. I said thats totally understandable however, shouting, following someone, all of these other behaviors are not an appropriate way to treat someone, let alone a customer. His response was NOT to apologize, but to say that hes only had a problem with me. What? At that point, I just asked for the managers contact information and said you know, all I can do at this point is contact them. He kept saying, Do it! Please do! like he knew that there would be zero accountability for how horribly he behaved. I was so shocked by the whole thing that I shook my head, said, I dont know how you sleep at night, and left, very shaken. In hindsight, this man basically treated me like a criminal for absolutely no reason (pretty insulting, BTW!) other than his own bias and poor behavior. Shame shame shame on him. Nobody deserves to be treated the way I was, and if you really think about it, its even worse that he mistook me for someone of lesser means. Like he could just harass, follow, and verbally assault them?! This man has no business working at a place like the Y. Ladies especially, please be safe and avoid until this man is gone.
