Absolutely terrible gym ! My daughter is 10 and was so excited she could accompany me upstairs to the "big girl" area. I was showing her a machine and Ryoka approached us aggressively and asked " how old is she ?" Then she proceeded to tell me we couldn't be so close to the weight area. I told her we were not near weight and she got loud and embarrassing- I will never return to this gym. My daughter was so excited going in today, she even took pics to commemorate her first day at the gym. read more

I could write a novel as to why my family loves this particular YMCA. The staff is beyond kind, helpful and caring. They deliver exceptional customer service and provide above average service. The childcare is top notch. My kids feel safe and enjoy going which they never did at our previous gym. The activities are engaging and and the environment is rich with love. I feel completely safe leaving my son who has multiple allergies. My oldest son, 8, enjoys his time in Spark. Any time there are renovations or closures of particular areas due to remodeling the members are given advance notice via email and signs posted in the facility. We have NEVER experienced any concerns with billing. There are monthly date nights and the cost is minimal. The activities planned are engaging and keep the little hands busy. The swimming area is clean and there are family changing areas. By far our favorite gym and we have been members at several. read more

"It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A." Village People This YMCA, located in Vickery Village, is new, clean and is very well run. Positives:The equipment is new and now includes two Jacob's Ladders, which I have yet to try! They seem to always be adding and upgrading the equipment. Large cardio area, great free weight stations and inventory. While I am not into classes there are always a lot being offered, from Zumba to TRX and many more. This location offers swimming lanes, a small family swim area, whirlpool, dry sauna, indoor running track, basketball courts. Lot's of seating throughout. Coffee is available in the morning. Lot's of water fountains. The only Y I have seen with Individual showers! Negatives: The fitness area is patrolled by a gym nazi (you know who you are!) who is quick to throw out kids and those who dare go into the free weight area without the right shoes. There is no steam sauna at this location. read more

This facility is smaller than your typical YMCA, seems to market to seniors rather than families, and management makes changes in policy without warning. Management at this location decided in December 2017 to no longer allow program members to sign thier children up for Parents Night Out, while other locations in the metro area such as Alpharretta still allow program members to use the Parents Night Out program. If you have young children I would not recommend this location. read more

I feel generous today with the five stars. But really, the Forsyth YMCA deserves it. First, it's a fairly new facility so it's clean and fresh and modern. It doesn't look like a sweaty ole, muscle man gym. In Forsyth, it truly is a family recreation center with basketball courts, an indoor track, pool and jacuzzi, and childcare. Second, the front desk staff is helpful, though sometimes a few of the staff can be a little aloof. Still, they are always pleasant. It's also nice that a few of them recognize me and take a moment to chit chat. Third, I've never seen a weight machine in disrepair for more than 24 hours and I'm there most days of the week. Still, they manage to keep their systems up and running without any glitches. Also, I particularly like that they have two sets of the same weight machines to cut down on wait time between exercises. Fourth, I love the fact that the weight machines track my progress and store all of my workout information. At the end of my workout, I love to see that I lifted approximately the equivalent of five asian male elephants, or 24,000 lbs. Sounds impressive, right? It's really not. It's just all in the reps. Fifth, there's a variety of workout classes to choose from. From the over-exposed boot camps to belly dancing, the Forsyth YMCA has a class for every type of family! And finally, the Forsyth Y does a lot for the surrounding community. There is always a flyer about a run, or a cook out, or a fundraiser, or a benefit going on for the Forsyth YMCA community. Now... EVERYBODY!!!.... "It's fun to stay at the Y - M - C - A ! It's fun to stay at the Y - M - C - A !" Get those hand motions going!! read more

My child has been going here for two weeks and since day number 1, she was bullied and made fun of. While I do believe counselors tried their best to make my daughter's experience better. They never did anything about the other kids whom bullied her, so she had to continue to deal with them every day when she went back. At this point, I am looking for other camps where she can find more diversity and feel more accepted so that she doesn't have to go back to a place she doesn't like to go to anymore. read more

I took my 5 yr old grandson to the YMCA of Forsyth County for summer camp at Eagle Point. When I picked him up from camp the first day he said a 'fish bit his weenie' in the water. He told me the same story 3 days in a row. When I questioned him about who was with him during these incidents he named one of the counselors-in-training. This counselor was taking boat rides, swims and water sports with my grandson each day. I reported it to the YMCA and have filed a report with the Forsyth County Sheriffs Office. read more

Great people, equipment, programs and location. Kids play center and youth rooms help our kids have fun while we workout. I think the value of the family membership is well worth it. read more

I love this YMCA, great classes, everyone is so friendly! I love all the Yoga/Pilates teachers they are great! My son enjoys going to the play center so much he begs to be able to go to the gym with me. We have also taken advantage of the free Parents Night Out and had a lovely date night. It is hard to get registered for that though because spots fill up fast! My son also attended a Thanksgiving art camp 2 days over the holiday break. He had fun and brought home some great crafts. The only downside is that I wish they offered more group fitness classes like the Alpharetta Y, they have x-fit and a few different running groups. Overall though this place is awesome! read more

Have been this Ymca member since 2007, we love it. Friendly staff, great group schedule, brand new equipment, it is the best.

Laura Douhit has proven to be the smartest and most capable Sports Director. The soccer program is in good hands, well-run. My three kids are very happy. read more

Parents beware! My child was put on the wrong bus from summer camp and ended up at Family Haven (domestic violence shelter). My child was then almost left on this bus...luckily the bus driver noticed her right before she was about to lock up the bus for the night. We all know what COULD have happened if a child was locked in a car during a hot Georgia summer! I spent most of the next day on the phone with YMCA management trying to figure out how this could have happened but it all comes down to the fact that policies were not followed! This YMCA summer camp is every parent's worst nightmare. Don't trust them with your child! I would give them negative stars if that was an option! read more

Camp Eagle Point Any parent sending their child to camp eagle point needs to be sure and ask them if they are being treated fairly. I have just had my 2 children 11 and 10 years old spend the last 4 weeks of the summer in this camp. The first 2.5 weeks were fine. The in the middle of the 3rd week my son got off the bus crying because another child punched him in the stomach and then hit him in the back of the head. I spent 2 hours driving between the camp and the YMCA in Forsyth county trying to find a person responsible that I could speak with. I was told everyone was gone. I left my name and number for "Brenda" who is responsible for the camps to call me; she never did. I did recieve a call from the young girl who was left to close the camp that said the kid who hit my son was being suspended for 3 days. The next day the head councelor "John" started bullying my son and calling him a liar. Which I find completely inappropriate. I again tried to address this situation with someone in charge to find no one. Today the last day of camp my son forgot his lunch and there was a pizza party which I was not made aware of. Since my son did not pay he was not offered any pizza; nor was I called to ask to bring his lunch. When a friend offered my son a 1/2 piece of pizza this "John" told him he had to throw it away because he did not pay. No one called me to ask if I could bring money to chip in or tell me he did not have anything to eat. Another kind counselor snuck Anson a couple of pieces of pizza so he could eat, thank you!!!! In fairness most of the people we have delt with have been perfectly nice and the kids did have a good time at camp. I just feel that not giving a hungry kid food and calling them a liar is inappropriate. We will not be sending our children back to this camp and really suggest you think twice before sending you children. Anne Rojas read more
