The Y has been the target of harsh criticism in recent years for cutting athletic services in the city, including at its headquarters on East Main Street, while building giant state-of-the-art facilities in the suburbs. But when it comes to amenities and value across the board, the organization is hard to beat. From personal training programs to childcare, camps, and classes for all ages and myriad interests, The Y probably has something for you among its 12 branches throughout Rochester and its immediate suburbs. In January, the organization will see a change in leadership, when Ernest Lamour replaces George Romell as president and chief executive officer. Romell held the title for 24 years. Lamour previously helmed the Ridgewood YMCA in New Jersey and the Stamford YMCA in Connecticut.
