Love the overall vibes at the Y. Everyone has been friendly, and the space has always been clean. I appreciate that the weight room is maintained well. It seems like when things break, they are fixed quickly.
I also appreciate the little things that make the gym feel more like a community. People sharing encouragement slips, the recipes, and monthly challenges all make it feel more like a community and less like a corporate and cold environment.
When I was able to go in the morning, I really appreciated the coffee too!
My wife and I are expecting and we've heard great things about childcare. I'm excited for that and think it's beautiful that the Y wants to help families flourish.
It's also so nice that I'm able to work out at any of the Y's in Richmond. With work and other obligations, I split my time between the Patterson Y, Northside, and the Midlo Y. They're all fantastic and it's so convenient.

I'm a long time member, since the late 1990s when I moved to the area. I love the Tuckahoe Y. The people are really helpful.
One concern/complaint: The Y used to have a policy of no using cell phones or camping out on equipment. These used to be posted. My biggest dread when I go to the Y is that one of the machines I need will be in use the entire time I am there. I can only use 5 machines. My workout only takes 20 minutes, but I need to go frequently, 3xs/week. I don't mind people doing two sets with a break in between, since it takes so long to set up everything and transfer - the Y used to forbid even this. I do 2 sets per machine and I'm quick. But the issue I've been encountering for several years now is: 1. Folks sitting on the equipment checking their phones, or
2. 2-3 people camped out on a machine doing a series of timed reps with timed breaks in between. This shouldn't be!! Has the policy changed? This issues are particularly maddening since I've used crutches for the past 5 years and I'm currently using a walker after surgery. Yet no mercy or even recognition that my standing around is an issue. Other folks look appalled and want to help but what can they do? I asked for help from an employee last week. He was very nice but all he did was ask when the young guys would be done and had me wait. This is not right practically, according to Y tradition, or ethically. It is not teaching deference to folks who need kindness. I'd really like the policy clarified and posted, and an explanation if it has changed. Thank you.
