    5 Stars. BLUF: If you lift and travel to Huntsville on business, but can't get your work done in…read morethe hotel fitness center then this is your place. 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.

    Biggest SCAM gym. Avoid at all costs. They charged your credit card and rip you off for months…read more Management and staff are rude and useless without any assistance. Management and Jennifer does not take responsibility for their mistakes. They ignore your emails. Very unprofessional. I recommend to avoid this gym if you want to be scammed and ripped off. Pure scam and garbage in 2025.

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.

    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

    I like the YMCA. We've been members for two years now. The classes are great and the teachers are…read morehelpful. It's easy to jump right in when the teacher is willing to explain what's going on. My son played in their t-ball league last spring. The coach was great at teaching a sport that most 4 and 5 year olds need help understanding. He stuck to the basics and was very positive. The childcare is okay. I feel very comfortable leaving my kids there.

She invited me to the annual Christmas lift off at the gym and I got to see the amazing atmosphere and hear other members tell me their personal experiences. I was sold! I took a free class the next week with the other owner, Deven Dehnel. Here I am a year later successfully completing in my first powerlifting competition. I've learned lots of new skills and made connections with some of the kindest folks. Coach Heidi, Deven, Natalie and Nick thank you for everything! Whether you're looking to compete, a new hobby or enhancing/ starting your fitness journey these guys are EXPERTS in their field. Don't walk, RUN to Core Strength & Performance you won't regret it!

Workouts with Hedi are always such a blast -- she brings such great energy. Nick is absolutely the best, I always look forward to his sessions, and Natalie makes every workout such a good time. What I love most is that the coaches have created such a fun, supportive space. Even though the workouts follow a structure, each session feels fresh and exciting because of the coaches' unique styles. Switching it up keeps me on my toes and makes me even more motivated to come back. They're all incredibly smart and make fitness something I truly look forward to.
