    I am a Y fan for 30 years. I come from the largest Y in the state. My first visit to this state I…read moresplit my time between a Y in Fayetteville( sadly closed) and another that had a pool. This Y has it all in one place! Including friendly staff & members to greet and help you enjoy your visit. There is a nice lap pool that always has a lane open, even during classes. Lots of variety in pool classes from swimming lessons to some very active water aerobics. Lots of new equipment is being added to the already state of the art weight room. There is plenty of elliptical, rowing machines and treadmills. And a variety of group classes. And there is a place to toss hoops. The YMCA is very COVID minded and provides spray bottles and cloths to wipe down equipment before and after use. It is a great place to bring your family, work out and relax in a hot sauna. I highly recommend it.

    I've been going to this YMCA since it opened in this new location. It's a very clean facility with…read morenew equipment. The treadmills and elliptical machines all have monitors on them so you can watch TV, Netflix, Hulu, anything you want. The daycare hours are the best part of this gym for me. Mon-Thurs the hours are 8-12 and 4-8 pm. Friday is 8-12 and 4-7:15 pm. Saturday is 8 - 11:35 and Sunday is 1-4:45 pm. The ladies that work in the daycare area are always so nice and my son loves going to play there while I work out. There is a very nice lap pool and they offer swim lessons for affordable prices. By the pool is a sauna but in the summer, the pool area feels like a sauna itself. They offer all sorts of classes throughout the day including spin, pilates, piloxing, strength train together and TRX. The instructors are really nice and knowledgable. I typically go to the gym between 9 and 11 and though it can be a bit crowded during that time, I never have had any problem getting on the equipment I have wanted.

    I visited this morning for some much needed self care for my coming birthday. Booking an…read moreappointment was very easy, when I called the spa, staff answered all of my questions and provided appropriate recommendations. I arrived and was given the tour. This is a small facility located in a bustling shopping center with several other spas on the strip. I spent a brief 15 minutes in the red light therapy bed. I was then transferred to the LED Sauna room. I was not provided with a robe to change into which was inconvenient. I was told robes would be ordered soon. I booked the spa shower following my 45 minute sauna time. There is 1 shower to use. I enjoyed my time in the sauna. The music was very relaxing and I really worked up a sweat effortlessly. I enjoyed the options of color therapy to choose from. I chose blue to help with creating a sense of calm and red. Once finished I headed to the shower room in my towel. (No spa robes ). Staff failed to check the shower for cleanliness or refilling the shower gel. The Shower Gel was close to empty. Luckily, I came prepared with shower shoes and my own shower gel. The shower drain was full of thick black hair. Apparently someone shampooed their hair previously and didn't clean up after themselves and staff didn't care enough about me as a paying customer to check the shower before I entered. I did not appreciate this. If you can't ensure the shower is presentable, don't offer to customers. When I finished showering I met with staff at the front desk to checkout. At that time, I informed them that the shower gel needs to be refilled. I was not offered a cool beverage when checking out, but asked if I would schedule a return visit. My answer was no. Customer Service and Care needs work here. I will find another business to spend my hard earned money at.

    the newest trend these days is called biohacking., and Red Light Therapy is one of the modern-day…read morebiohacking techniques that has gained a lot of popularity in recent times. I was very fortunate to have found Beem and have been a 'frequent flyer' for them. Since becoming a 'founding' member from the early part of their recruitment, I purchased and unlimited membership, which provides me access to both red light therapy as well as a sauna. Beem has some of the friendliest staff around. As soon as you walk in you are greeted by such great staff such as Abby, Samantha, or the manager Katy (and a few others, who I haven't had the pleasure of getting to know as of yet). They are there to explain all the options that are available for you, and provide you with additional towels as well as a 'wet facecloth' that is very refreshing for after your sessions. These towelettes are soaked in a cucumber based substance (my belief) and provides a great refreshing feeling after sitting in the sauna or getting your red light therapy. Beem is conveniently located off of Tryon Road in the Walmart shopping center. It is a smallish facility from the outside, but inside it is quite spacious. The first room that is on the left side is one of the red light therapy rooms. When you enter, it looks like a 'tanning bed', however it is much cleaner and much easier to use. The staff set a timer for you from the outside, and it 'beeps' half way through to allow you to turn over or just to know that you are half way through the session. These sessions last approximately 15 minutes. Since these are 'infrared' they do provide you with goggles that will block the infrared from your eyes. The amount of infrared that you are receiving is doing your body justice, but not enough to actually harm you. Studies have shown that infrared therapy can help with: Pain relief: Infrared light can help relieve pain and muscle tension by improving circulation and reducing inflammation. Wound healing: Infrared light can help wounds heal faster and promote cell regeneration by increasing blood flow of oxygen-rich blood. Skin health: Infrared light can improve skin complexion and purify skin. I personally started using it for pain relief, as I have shoulder issues. After going here for a few weeks, my shoulders started feeling better and has given me more flexibility. Personally, I like to go into the Sauna afterwards, where I am able to push the temperature up. There are 8 different light settings that are available, which give you different benefits. According to their guide (posted on the window within the sauna), RED: Energy - red brings warmth, energy, and stimulation. Good for fatigue and energizes circulation PINK: Soothing - pink is calming, soothing and eliminates impurities from the blood stream ORANGE - Happiness - orange brings enthusiasm, confidence, joyfulness and assists with digestive health YELLOW: Cheerfulness - yellow stimulates happiness, gives mental clarity, inspires and purifies the skin GREEN: BALANCE - green helps reduce the symptoms of depression, stress, insomnia and helps fight infection TURQUOISE - Uplifting - turquoise rejuvenates the skin, relaxes feelings of stress, and is cleansing to the body BLUE - Calming - blue reduces blood pressure and relieves headaches. Great for relaxing the mind and body VIOLET - Strengthen - violet soothes the nervous systems, improves immunity and inflammation. Inside of these saunas, they also provide you with an IPAD where you can connect to YouTube, watch Netflix, or anything else. I personally use it to find a soothing station on YouTube and listen to the 'Zen' type of music that radiates throughout the sauna. There are also different lighting options where you can make it darker or lighter. (I prefer darkness, so i can try to destress my mind while enjoying the benefits of the heat). When booking your session, you may want to see if the shower is available. they do have 1 shower, and it books up rather quickly. So, if you do plan on going during the day and need to get back to work, this is a great option for you to have. After the sessions are over, they have a small 'snack area' where you can purchase some snacks. There isn't a huge display, but there are some available. Overall, the concept of Beem is fantastic. They have so much to offer and with their unlimited monthly package, it is quite beneficial to utilize it to the max. as noted previously, I'm a 'frequent flyer' and go nearly everyday. I have seen some great benefits from it, as I've had some long lasting ailments and have noticed small changes over the last few weeks that I've been going. If you are not convinced, then try them out. You will not be disappointed.
