Great

I love this place! The fitness classes are fun, with excellent instructors. The facility is great, staff is friendly and helpful, the child watch people are great with my littles, and the pools are fun!

Rude employees

Just as they have it set up great for kids it's also great for adults. I like the 19 and over adult locker rooms. The equipment is clean. I also like the eco friendly dryers in the bathrooms and the green cleaning cloths for the equipment.

I thought it was nice. But when I went to the basketball gym I got kicked out for drinking Gatorade on the court. Which I understand and respect. But then an employee walks in and is drinking a McDonald’s McCafé on the court. That wasn’t impressive.

Very family friendly

There is no help from staff as far as weights are concerned...I have also spotted some of the employees who are supposed to be watching young children on their phones. The staff are sometimes rude as well and when I asked if I could use a friend's pass to get in (I was not familiar with the rules) one of the workers got pissed and said I was trespassing. After they explained I paid and still used the facility but they were very rude. Switching my membership to Prairie Life.

Love it. Great staff, great facility.

Wonderful equipment and staff! Can't beat the YMCA family/community focused atmosphere. The new Copple Family Y is a beautiful facility.

It’s as good as you’d expect a brand new ymca to be. Lots of equipment, never had to wait for cardio, or machine weights, limited wait time for certain free weights. Pools are great. Staff is amazing. Locker rooms are clean and spacious. Childwatch is on point. Our kid loves it. Lots of programs for families.

The overall environment is good for adults. But very disappointed with their youth swimming class. My son had an almost drawn experience in the class. Some Instructors were just talking to guys and ignored the little kids walking into the deep water. Both me and my son were scared to death. And what even worse was that nobody cared. They could not even find my incident report card when I followed up a week later. And sadly the same thing happened again two weeks later for my friend’s little girl. Definitely will not register any youth class here.

My wife and I have and continue to be members for 1 1/2+ years. The facility is well-maintained, is good to followup on needs such as equipment that may not be working and overall support. We are pleased with the hours and quality of staff. One need is that the use of cellphones is increasing primarily through exercisers whom speak on the phone at a level that it is noticeable nearby persons. This is a tough situation but it needs to be addressed. Ideas...broadly post warnings and have an amnesty for a few weeks then make announcements then steadily enforce the rule. This is a basic expectation that needs to be enforced--it is not at this point and it detracts from the overall potential and meeting expectations. Overall, we are very pleased with the opportunity to use the YMCA and we appreciate the hard-work of the staff. It is a quality place.

Love all of the courts very small still though probably best Courts in Lincoln

Copple Family YMCA is hands-down the best YMCA in town! The pool is just amazing and spacious, fully equipped with three lap lanes, a vortex water slide, an aqua track (think a lazy river, but smaller), a whirlpool, a shallow end, and a relatively deeper end. The water temperature is extremely warm as well. Okay, now let's talk about the exercise facilities: they are really nice. Wide, open studios that are used sometimes for classes (free with the YMCA membership), a lot of exercise equipment (so there is no wait), a huge Child Watch center, a Family/Teen room with a Ping-Pong table--you name it, they probably have it!

Went there to play pickup basketball with my friends and I payed $12 for a day pass (kind of expensive). We showed up and the gym was empty so we played full court. One of the worker came in and said we can’t play full court, so we read the rules on the gym wall and it didn’t say anything about not playing full court, so we go back in and right when we start the game back up he brings a manager and kicks all 8 of us out. We were there maybe an hour and there was only 2 other people playing basketball and they were in a different gym. Very rude, gave no explanation why we got kicked out, and lost 8 customers to which we will never go back.

If you do anything in this facility besides deadlift or anything that starts on the ground like a power clean in the free weight area, you should be ok. But on the chance you do, this is the worst place to go. First of all they do not have a platform for this which for me isn’t a big deal but something worth noting. The thing I have a problem with is that you have to do these movements over the check in area upstairs. My experience with this has been horrible. I am 15 and 140 pounds and am not doing anything over 325 for reps, for anyone thinking I’m “dropping” 900 pounds. Barely 2 sets into my workout I was told I was “slamming the weights”by an employee and I will be kicked out if I continue. I don’t think he understood what “dropping it” meant. I did not let the bar leave my hands until the set was complete. I was doing dead stop reps and was controlling the weight on the decent of each rep. I asked if I could do it somewhere else and he said yes. I had brought my gym bag and the plates and bar to the opposite side of the gym section and loaded up the bar when I was told I was to bring them all the way back from where I got them because he asked his manager after he made a decision. If anyone is serious about getting stronger at movements like this, your business should be held elsewhere. I hope this was just an unlucky day, but I will not be returning to the Copple YMCA

Nice place, very nice.

Never Been Treated With So Much Disrespect Like I Was Treated By Melissa (Auqa Director). Needless To Say She Started A War. This Ain’t Gunna Go Unnoticed!

Copple YMCA is a beautiful facility with an excellent staff. There is plenty of close parking. There is always someone cleaning the entryway and at least one staff member available for cleaning or to answer questions in the large cardio/weight room. They also have spacious locker rooms, gorgeous indoor pool area, a great outdoor pool, and ample rooms for various classes. All that said, I believe the best part is their childcare, aka Child Watch. My littles are always willing to go and the teachers are amazing. The room is very large with lots to do. They keep the babies separate from the older kids. They always have craft projects and stories being read and will take the kids into the gym for some large motor activity. my family has tried many options and this affordable option is where we are going to stay!
