I utilize the gym and it’s always clean and the staff is super helpful and friendly. I also have my kids in the after school Care program and they love it!
The group classes are wonderful. I particularly enjoy the Zumba and HIIT classes. I also love that there's a running track with walking and running lanes. I haven't been a big fan of treadmills since I pulled something in my hamstring and had to keep running until the machine slowed down.
My favorite thing about the YMCA is the classes. I absolutely love the chair yoga classes and gentle fusion class. The staff is always friendly and the atmosphere is very nice.
I mainly signed up for the Y so my 2 young daughters would have access to a pool. We did swimming lessons and came to the pool several times a week throughout the summer, less frequently during the school year. I also utilize the child center so I can go to the gym - which is nicely equipped, bright and clean. I have yet to take any classes for myself or my kids, but each time I'm there's makes me want to. Every employee I've come across is wonderful. I was especially impressed by the young ladies that were my girls' swim instructors, I could tell they loved working with children.
variety of classes for all levels. gifted instructors. Smiley faces. Willingness of help when needed.
multiple locations near me with convenient times to work with my schedule. It's my happy place.
I love our Patrick Henry or rather ASHLAND YMCA. I've been a member since the early 1990's (stopped for a bit during COVID) but I just love the size, people, staff, cleanliness, track, gym and pickleball, the weights (mixture of machine and free weights), the classes (YOGA), etc. I can't say enough (and it has a pool how cool). I do wish the SAUNA were bigger (it's always packed w/ sweaty men, LOL). Thanks, and keep doing great things.
