We've been going to this Y for many years and it seems very summer the situation with the outdoor…read morepool gets worse. Today is June 11 and it is STILL not open during the day. When we ask we get various answers, but the most frustrating ones are "we don't have enough lifeguards", "the public schools aren't out yet", and (my personal favorite) "I don't really know." The idea that the public schools are the reason not to have the outdoor pool open yet is ridiculous. This happened last year too. Do you know how many kids are homeschooled or are already out for the summer? LOADS. Add to that, we pay a membership to the facility too and if the weather is nice, and you're advertising that it's open, then you need to keep it open where everyone gets a chance to use it. If an adult wants to use the outdoor pool while the kids are in school, they should be able to. I shouldn't have to drive to the next town over to use their Y because mine doesn't seem to have it together. The other issue here is the lack of continuity in the management of the facility itself. Half the time you can't get a straight answer about anything, and you definitely won't get any direction about who DOES know. They point the finger at someone else hoping you'll just go away. It's issues like this that keep people from wanting to join community centers like the Y, that used to be the cornerstone of our communities. Get it together, guys.

I gave this YMCA a three because they have a few very nice workers however most of them are…read moreentitled and have awful customer service. I never wrote a review just because it's where i have been coming for a few years now. after today, I felt the need to write one. A young adult comes in and seems like he's about to get ready to start lifting, and he only has socks on ( not sure if it's a rule) which I've seen countless people do not only at this gym but others too. A worker came in and told him he couldn't have his shoes off and I'm assuming that he needed to leave because he left and did not come back. she comes back minutes later and just scans the room judging everyone looking for someone doing something wrong and finds nothing. She comes back only this time to get mad at a dad who was alone with two young children who were both well-behaved and quiet. The woman told the boy he needed to get off the treadmill and could not be in the private workout area in his shoes. She then tells the father that the child cannot be here unless he's practically attached to his father's hip for the rest of his work out.(I'm fully aware that young children are not allowed on equipment) but he was harmless and I'm sure the dad was stressed out having to bring them in the first place. I get where she was coming from but there were 100 ways she could've been better about it. If you can ignore the cocky workers then I definitely recommend this place. The gym is clean well kept and also has fairly new equipment. However I don't think it's the place if you're looking for very detailed machines. *** they are not all bad, just a few that don't know their place. *** it's an extra $10 to bring a guest, but you can only bring a guest 3 times a YEAR, also this gym is not 24hrs and charges five dollars to come in after closing time.

I will start off with what I liked about bringing my toddler here. They have plenty of gymnastic…read morestyle equipment, my toddlers favorites were the balance beams and the trampolines. They are very clean and have lots of great classes offered for different age groups. Parking is directly across the street with is convenient. The bathrooms are very clean and have a baby changing table. They are following social distancing precautions for the parents. They have spaced out chairs numbered for parents to wait, only one parents allowed. They have a limited amount of gymnastics apparel for purchase. The young lady at the front desk is always nice. As far as social distancing goes for the children (3-4 year olds), kids will be kids and get in each-others faces, this age group isn't required to wear face masks and it is hard to keep them properly distanced even with the instructors guidance and dividing the children into smaller groups. Hand sanitizer is provided to each child when they enter the building and when they exit. The only reason I can't give 5 stars is because my child's main instructor does not appear to have the appropriate training on how to properly interact with children. She does not have the teaching or leadership skills needed for small children. Her patience runs thin and I did not like her tone with the children or the way she spoke to them. I chose to withdraw my child for this very reason.

I've been coming to Takeover Athletics (formerly CrossFit Takeover) 3-4 times a week for the last 4…read moremonths. I have done the CrossFit classes, FLEX class (combination of condition, weightlifting and accessory work), Olympic weight lifting class and yoga classes. My 9 year old is also enrolled in the CrossFit kids class. As a newbie to CrossFit, I love this place. The intimidation was initially there but it was really self vs self. Everyone is so welcoming and very helpful. No judgment at all. From day 1, I have been welcomed with open arms. There are a lot of coaches and they all have the heart of a teacher. Prior to this, I spent 7 months with a personal trainer who was very popular on social media. However, I have learned way more in 4 months at Takeover than I did in 7 months with a PT. I am also in the best shape strength and conditioning wise. I'm still a beginner but every class I get better and I love it. I can not say one bad thing about this establishment. I highly recommend it. Just the family like environment makes this place the best gym locally.

At Matchbout you can get one on one training sessions to work on your specific goals, 24 access to the facility with keyless entry. There are are boot camp style workouts, step aerobic classes and more! Free parking is available and I love that I can include my son in my fitness regimen. He too can train and get a workout in while building up self confidence, self discipline and learning about health & wellness Overall I highly recommend this sports training facility. Many athletes come here to train and prepare for their semi professional and professional fights. Some come to spar or simply keep in shape I come to keep in shape and one on one training sessions because I love fitness and live a healthy lifestyle. I enjoy smaller boot camp style classes and not going to a large gym. Smaller gyms feel more like home to me vs bigger gyms you can get overwhelmed with all the machines and feel lost in the sauce, if you know what I mean. Lol If you want to try something new and shake up your old workout routine or simply want to join me for a workout I extend an invite. It's lots of fun.

My 5-year-old daughter has been training jiu jitsu at Tidewater BJJ Virginia Beach for almost a…read moreyear and absolutely loves her classes. Coach Tyler is an expert in jiu jitsu and an experienced instructor, planning weekly lessons and breaking down techniques in ways that hold the kids' attention spans and reinforce what they have learned. He knows exactly when to encourage a kid to push harder and when to redirect to a different approach. The price is extremely reasonable ($125/month), especially with the discount on a six-month contract (down to $100/month). For that price, the kids have daily hour-long classes (Monday through Friday, 5-6pm) available to them, plus open mat time on Saturday (12-2pm) and Sunday (10am-1pm) and a 2-hour advanced kids' class on Saturday (2-4pm). I have also joined the adult class and received a family contract discount, bringing the total for the two of us to $175/month. For adults, they have morning classes (7-8am, Monday through Friday), evening classes (6-7pm Monday through Friday), and the aforementioned Open Mat time. I forgot how much I missed training until I restarted at Tidewater BJJ Virginia Beach after a 20+ year break.

No warning, no discussion, and no follow up conversation after to see how they could help. What's more, my husband called to further investigate what the issue was and we were told she was 'misbehaving', but they couldn't tell us how. If a 2 year olds big feelings when they are struggling is seen as misbehaving then this is not the place for little kids. Hopefully this experience hasn't scared my daughter off of gymnastics for good. Additionally, this was all done in front of all the other parents, making me feel ashamed and humiliated. A staff member marched out of the office and ranted that she 'needed to be taken away' in front of everyone and with zero compassion. I left in tears. This is not a supportive or safe environment for any parent or young child.
