The staff and clients at this YMCA are extremely friendly and polite. The indoor pool (bubble) was excellent with plenty of lanes to swim laps. My wife and I had a very pleasant experience and will be returning here even though it is not the closest YMCA to our residence.
I only use the weight room and cardio equipment but it is a friendly place where people introduce themselves and encourage others to keep up on their exercises. I have heard that the group classes . Are even better at developing friendships and really are a good workout as well. I am not a class type of person and will happily continue my workouts on my varied schedule.
Good variety of programs however it would be nice to see some new ones added every so often. I noticed that Goochland has added circuit training, something like that may gather interest at Powhatan.
