The turf area is super cool for training one on one, yoga/stretching, body weight exercises, etc.! I have yet to try the group fitness classes out that are held in the group fitness room but maybe in the future! They are relocating to a newer and I would assume larger facility on county line, which just makes the drive a few minutes longer but I don't mind at all. They informed all of the patrons that all new equipment would be placed in the new Madison location, which is great! Another cool thing that I hope they're continuing is the smoothie bar in the front, I haven't had one yet but I've been wanting to try one. I also think its great that the womens (and I would assume mens) locker rooms have multiple bathroom stalls, showers, lockers of all sizes, and a sauna! Theres also multiple tanning beds and its a 24 hr facility! A very chill laid back atmosphere where everyone is actually committed to working out and nobody bothers you. Much appreciated mutual respect between everyone there.

Traveller friendly with super affordable $13 day passes and equally affordable trainers and a great, positive energy place and people, clientele included. 24/7 means you can go before or after conferences and meetings. Great way to get feeling better again after spending all day in planes and airports especially for those of us who live in daily pain and need the workouts as mitigation. 10/10 going on my itinerary on my next trip. Buying a day pass was easy enough online from my room. Part of it is loading a mobile key-card app for off hours entry should you need it. When I walked in I was greeted by the owner (who is as big as a truck) with a giant smile, and when I asked if any trainers were available he quickly found Jordan for me. Jordan's rate was extremely affordable - so much so that I countered him with a higher rate. Part of the reason I wanted a trainer is because, frankly, I've seen the trainers at my home station and didn't find them compelling enough to spend the (much more) money on. Jordan, on the other hand, is exactly what I hoped for from a dedicated lifting gym with contracted trainers. Tots positive energy, super engaged with me from start to finish, taught me a TON, from proper warmups (which I have NOT been doing at home) to improving technique. He spent a lot of time with me helping me dial in my squat form, and even introduced me to floor wedges which I don't have at home. He pushed me to failure many times, always motivating, always keeping me safe and in form, and I got the most excellent wobbly legs from the workout :0 For those who are intimidated by real weightlifting gyms - don't be ! Yes, some of the people are as big as pickup trucks but usually they're the nicest folks ! No, no one is judging you - everyone is there working towards a self-improvement goal and giving positive vibes to help others meet their goals. I've never once felt ashamed or judged in a real gym, despite not being strong, not being big and frankly always carrying plenty of "insulation" around my belly. A real weight lifting gym can be very different than a fitness center, and if you really want to make strength progress I can't recommend them enough. Lifting heavy (which is relative to you - that could mean 5 lbs or it could mean 100 lbs) has profoundly positive effects on the body from strengthening bones to releasing beneficial hormones and discovering power lifting and moving off of the 300 different nautilus machines was a positive life changing move for me.

I have been a member of the Heart of the Valley YMCA since 2017, and it has been a wonderful…read moreexperience up until last week. I will say that I love the YMCA as a whole which is why this complaint is addressed to an indivudiual I am single mother of a 12 year old and for that reason I am currently on a scholarship at the YMCA. My daughter has been apart of the youth program since I started going and I must say I am truly disgusted at the experience that happened last week on 6/17. At 3 pm I received a call from Bradley Ruff who is over the summer program and the YMCA. When I answered the phone, he quickly stated to me "What time are you picking up your daughter" I replied is something wrong he then stated yes. He then proceeds to tell me that my child lied in regard to a sunscreen incident that took place the day prior. He stated to me that he took it upon himself to watch the camera and stated that she intentionally sprayed sunscreen in her eye. He then tells me that my child is disrespectful and she " walks the line" . I explained to him that I have had nothing, but good reports and I am not sure what he is talking about. I told him that I would address her in regard to the sunscreen incident he tells me that's not enough and she can't come back to the program. As I stated in the beginning of this complaint, I am a single mother and for him to make this decision that allowed me no time to find child care is completely disgusting to say the least. He even stated to me " we have worked with your daughter" as if he is doing me a favor and I should be grateful! Absolutely not! You are supposed to work with kids! That is your job! To make matter worst this past weekend my daughter was with my mother while she was pumping gas and on the other side was a white male counselor and my daughter saw him she quickly hid her face! She stated that he doesn't like her and yells at her! She also stated that he made her sit out for an entire 4 hours! The YMCA featured me on their page and highlighted that I was a single parent but yet kicked my daughter out of summer camp with no warning or time to find care?! I attended a TRX class at the Y and have been for the last two years which means I have spent a total of $1,080 alone for this class as a single parent! There was a incident two weeks ago where my daughter was in the gym with me, when we left out a rep at the front desk made it her business to ask my how old my daughter was ( mind you she was a few days from turning 12) she told me that she was not old enough to be in the fitness center. Well two weeks after that a white man and his son were in the gym and walked past the same rep that was at the front desk, yet she didn't say anything to them until I called it to her attention! There honestly needs to be some revaluating of the youth program , there are 16 year old working with 12 year old and it is obvious that they do not have the patience for a 12 year old! Brad also told me child to "get out of his office" and called her a liar! I will be cancelling my membership as well

Today I was inspired to write due to a negative encounter with an employee, but the real reason I feel the need to inform other Yelpers lies in my earliest experience. I joined the Wellness Center shortly after it first opened at the Valley Bend location because I knew I was not just out of shape, I was in poor health. I had had really good results from the health club I had joined in California in my twenties (I had studied a paperback authored by Schwarzenegger, and had actually taken a strength training class). Now I was fat and fifty. So I filled out the paperwork and showed up for the obligatory initial assessment by their "trained professional" to be sent to my MD. I expected to be pushed to my limits for a meaningful assessment, but when I protested that I had exceeded my physical limits, the "TP" insisted that I continue. Now I blame this on some perverse need to prove I wasn't any wimp, but I ignored my body's signals and continued the required number of reps. At the blessed end of this "assessment", I felt horrible, could hardly drive myself home, and for the next two months could barely move my joints without large doses of anti-inflammatories. I didn't have a gun to my head, why didn't I obey my own instincts and refuse to follow orders to continue? When I visited my MD (a few weeks later) she informed me that the TP had determined that I should NOT engage in a strength training program due to my poor health. Of course the TP's report hadn't made it to the Wellness Center's bookkeeper, as they had been extracting their monthly fee from my checking account the entire time I had been incapacitated by his "initial assessment". I took this as an excuse to ignore his recommendation and, when my joints finally stopped hurting, I started going to take workouts that I felt were appropriate. A (what?) decade later, I'm still alive, in spite of the TP's assessment. Yelp didn't exist then, so I had no meaningful way to make a complaint. Today's negative experience reminded me of the anger I had repressed and I realized I finally had a venue to warn others about HHWC practices. In the interests of full disclosure, I should reveal that my brother is a part owner of a gym in Santa Ana, CA, so I am fully cognizant of the financial realities of running a gym. You want to collect the fat old ladies' money before you scare them off and make damn sure the young, thin, beautiful people are over-represented on the floor so you can entice the old geezers' to cough up their money too. And make doubly damn sure you have your (victim, mark, etc.) sign up for automatic monthly withdrawals before they leave. If you are still considering choosing HHWC over the YWCA down the street, keep in mind that they have no reciprocity with any other gyms (fine if you never have to leave town). They don't allow you to pause the automatic monthly fee until after 60 days, even if you have a broken leg and can't return to town for four months. On the other hand, HHWC is well-maintained, well-lit, and hygienic. The clientele is uncommonly nice. So what about today's negative experience? Well let's just say that some people (Todd) shouldn't be in management when their social skills are so lacking. If he ever makes the mistake of speaking to me again I'll let him know his mother failed in teaching him manners. Being given authority doesn't excuse boorish behavior, and hey, I think I'm just perverse enough to continue inflicting my fat old carcass on his pristine gym.
