There’s nothing about this Y that my family doesn’t absolutely adore. The workout experience is probably not the best you can get- it’s crowded, there aren’t tons of machines, and the free weights are lacking. Not to mention the studio downstairs is often busy. BUT! What they lack in that, they gain in experience. They are so friendly. They know my name and my kid’s name. He doesn’t go to preschool largely in part because he goes to the Y. They are so good with the kids.The classes are all great. Especially Jenny’s! We love her. Another great perk is how good they are to the community. They do community activities often. It’s clean, easy to get to, and well maintained. There is limited parking in the back but you can park at the Ross down the block and get up to two hours validated (stamp your parking ticket at the front desk.) This Y is so great!
The management stinks. This gym is pretty tiny, but they do what they can with the space, and its unfortunately one of the better Y’s in the area. They’ve gotten better about letting members know when events are happening in some of the bigger spaces, like workout rooms, but still have a long way to go with communications on closures. The biggest perk is the classes available — the class coordinator is awesome.
I love this gym. They have everything you need to improve fitness. The members are nice and the staff are very helpful with excellent customer service. Gyms like this are hard to find!Highly recommend.
The Richmond District YMCA is the first gym Ive actually enjoyed going to. I feel completely comfortable working out here. I havent had the chance to try out other locations, but this particular branch puts on great classes and the instructors are all very talented. I attend many of Jennys classes (TRX, BodyPump, Cycle, Basic Core) and have often brought friends along with me and everyone loves them. Being a former athlete, I could immediately tell Jenny had been a sports coach in the past... and a great one at that. She sets the pace to motivate and push you, while still bringing a fun fiery spirit to the class. She knows her stuff and she will work alongside you every step of the way... and shes funny. I truly cant say enough great things about the woman or her classes. If you havent joined yet, get a guest pass and try out a few classes!
Small facility with basic facilities, friendly and competent staff, and generous selection of group classes and programs. First floor houses exercise studios with machines and free weights, plus a spa and sauna. Second floor has studios for group classes. This Y also sponsors food outreach programs for seniors in the community on Wednesday and Thursday mornings.
People are really friendly here. The Y is a community-oriented place, and the people at the front desk like Tony welcome both new and current members!
This IS the place to be! Great facility, team, environment!
It is a nice place to workout
Great gym, great staff :)
Great gym if youre on a budget.
Horrible service. If your under 18 you need a so called fitness orientation to use the weight machines. How stupid is that!!
I went here yesterday so excited to sign up and me and friend were so angry when we left the guy in the front desk he was so not helpful, very rude, he just seemed like he hated his job he was so negative about everything, he was terrible, bad customer service .
💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Great teachers, but the facilities and machines are not so good ..The horrible spining bikes if they were changed would be great, a shame ...
