I seems as if they keep the equipment on the floor just to make it seem full. The staff told me they are getting new equipment in a few weeks but what the heck am I supposed to do until then? The only real thing I see coming of use is maybe a class if I can (not the reason I joined), or the pool. And the pool is already booked out for classes and whatnot so the adult swim or family swim is only a half hour block...usually when I'm at work. I cancelled my membership on the spot and am mad at myself for wasting money on this sorry establishment.

The original downtown Summerville location of the YMCA has a pool and sauna, gymnastics facility…read morewhich the Ponds location does not have. I am partial to this location because it is the one I grew up with- I took gymnastics here. I'm pretty sure the gymnastics facility is exactly the same as it was 20+ years ago when I attended. The best part about this gym (now that I'm an adult) and location is the child watch- it is open 7 days a week. So, if you have kids, you can work out every day almost all day long (2 hour limit). M-F the child watch is open from 8-8, Saturdays from 8-1, and Sundays i think from 12:45-3:45. It seems like a lot of gyms in the area either don't offer childcare or if they do the hours are really limited. There are many different classes offered as well as fitness coaches/trainers if you want that. There are two cardio rooms, a small one with just a few machines and a larger one upstairs with maybe 10 treadmills, a handful of bikes and I think a couple of ellipticals. I typically come here a few days/week with my two littles, drop them off at the daycare, then go running through downtown Summerville (you are required to stay on the campus while you have your kids in the childcare unless you are going on a run in which case I think you just leave them with your cell phone # and then off you go) or I do strength training in the weight rooms. Like every gym this one gets busy from around 4-7 so you may have to fight a fellow 9-5er for a parking spot and then a machine. After 7 the teenagers usually come out for their daily bulking/mirror staring sesh. During the daytime you can almost always find a machine easily since the people that come are typically SAHMs and older people coming in for either pool time or the daytime fitness classes. During the weekdays this location is very popular with older people, they like to come hang out in the community room and chit chat and sometimes play ping pong. The social scene here for 55+ is pretty poppin. Happy sweating!

My daughter is in the parent and me toddler class, and I feel like in just a couple short months she has already learned so much. She loves and looks forward to going to gymnastics every Saturday morning, and the instructors are so wonderful with the children, especially the little ones, as I know it can be frustrating that toddlers don't always want to do what they're "supposed" to and listen. They have two trampolines, which are one of my daughter's favorites, as well as lots of other equipment. There is a nice sitting area for parents to do work while they wait, as well as a window for watching practice.

Today she had Ms. Taylor and I could not be more impressed. Ms. Taylor radiates positivity. She uses each child's name, has a great sense of humor, and recognizes each child every class for some type of skill the child displays. She challenges each child within their comfort zone, and is there to encourage each child every step of the way. The gym itself is always very clean and they sanitize the tools they use for circle time between each class. There is always someone at the front desk to welcome you and help with rescheduling. We are so happy we have been here for over a year and plan to keep our toddler in the classes!

The summer camp has about 25 kids with 3 instructors and 3 assistants, so there are plenty of people watching the children learn and train. My daughter attends another Flip! on ARR during the school year, but this location seems to be bigger. Overall, very happy with the camp and this location. Camp lasts from 9am - 4pm, and she was all talkative about her day and all the fun things that she did with her instructors.

GAC consistently coaches multiple athletes from barely walking toddler age to helping their athletes achieve collegiate success and scholarships. Our daughter has been with GAC and coaches for 18 months now and we would have never imagined the energy, time, consistency and the winning mentality that is present day in and day out here. We are so grateful how much they've poured into her and how it's paid off. While we do believe our daughter brings a lot of passion, and drive etc ...there is no doubt that her skills and confidence has been amplified because she is surrounded by such a committed owner, who empowers all her coaches which then trickles down to the athletes. Well I guess this is still a long review.
