I have several concerns about the Bryan YMCA. To begin with, its swimming pool is probably the…read moreworst maintained pool in the Triad. It's often closed because it is so poorly maintained. I have swam in the Bryan pool when I could not the the lines on the bottom and when I would witness a cloud dead skin churned up from the bottom of the pool. Even after showering, I would spend much of the day with an itchy back after having swam in the Bryan pool. The other issue that troubles me is the attitude of the Aquatics Staff. They are seldom supportive and they often find minor issues to complain about when there are swimmers who clearly should receive more of their attention. On one occasion I observed an autistic/homeless man who found it very relaxing to submerge himself in the hot tube. The lifeguards were so troubled by his behavior that four staff members finally physically removed him from the pool and arranged to drop him from Y membership. This could have been handled with a lot more compassion and concern.

Going early morning is your best bet to be able to access machines without hordes of high schoolers either hogging them, or simply blocking them while they doom scroll endlessly on their phones. I have spoken to a number of people that are fed up with the lack of awareness the teens have, and their lack of hygiene when it comes to wiping the machines down after use. I wish the Y, like other gyms, would make the weight room a cell free zone. It's one thing to use your phone for music, but when I work out on 3 different machines, while waiting for someone to move on from one they're sitting on scrolling, it is simply infuriating.

And this is one of the better ones I've used. It's a good YMCA located in the Greensboro area, and it looks kind of brand new, and in some ways is a better one than others - but it also has a lot of notices about stealing and stuff which is creepy and not very welcoming. I had a good workout here there and I was tickled by the fact that there's a Smoothie King on premises - a little Smoothie King window on the way to the locker rooms, no less. Owned by Mary Shelley and Katy Perry, and it sort of shows.

I've been going to the Kernersville YMCA for a few years now, and what truly keeps me coming back…read moreis the people-both the instructors and the community they've built in their group fitness classes. I've taken everything from Pilates, yoga, cycling, tone, and Zumba, and you can genuinely tell that the instructors here are knowledgeable, intentional, and welcoming to all fitness levels. Huge shout-out to Karen, Kimberly, and Adrienne, who recently launched the new Yoga, Body & Balance routine. It was so well-structured, energizing, and thoughtfully led. Leonia, Viridiana, and Teresa also deserve major recognition for delivering consistently intense, motivating workouts that really push you (in the best way). What stands out most is the environment. These classes feel inclusive, encouraging, and community-driven. It's the kind of place where you don't feel judged but you feel supported. The connections I'm making in these classes are honestly a big reason I stay consistent. If you're looking for more than just a gym and something that feels like a community, the Kernersville Y truly delivers.

The bathrooms were clean, and there were plenty of machines available, which made it easy to move through my workout without waiting around. I went during the daytime, so the gym wasn't very busy. Like most gyms, your access to equipment will depend on the time of day you go--during peak hours, you might have to wait for certain machines.
