I’ve been going here for about 2 years. Now that it’s hours, services are back to normal, it’s been great.
I have a kid and I take advantage of free child care, especially Saturdays. It’s not all the hours I’d like, but I’ll take it. They offer 4 days of child care at different hours. You get up to 2 hours free. And the staff are great with my energetic kid. They also have family swim times as well.
They’ve recently updated both weight and cardio machines. A wider selection and mix.
The place is/has always been really clean thanks to amazing and attentive staff.
I always feel welcomed when I check in.
Can it get crowded? sure. This isn’t a Planet Fitness. Let me repeat that. This isn’t a commercial fitness center. YMCAs serve their communities, so if you don’t like to be around kids going to summer camp, preschoolers taking swimming lessons, older folks doing water aerobics, GenX doing Zumba, or respectful teenagers lifting weights, it’s not for you.
But if you like to be in a space where people of all shapes and sizes are welcome, please check it out. You can also hang out and chat with a friend over coffee. They have coffee, too.
I’ve also found that if something’s missing, I tell them and they look into it. Like child care during an evening Zumba class. But this not a make or break issue.
Parking can be a bit difficult during the weekend and afternoons, but I’ve always found a space. They have parking in the back. And I also remeber to just get there 15 mins earlier next time.
I haven’t taken many classes but they are usually full, so these instructors are doing something right. You can use the app to reserve spaces.
I have a personal trainer I meet with for 30 minutes 1-2x month. She’s professional,knowledgeable and hard working. And a UNC undergrad! Highly recommend for kickstarting your routine. I’ve been working with her for over a year.
