I visited Virginia and signed up for a 2-week pass at this Solidcore location. The first week was…read morefantastic -- coaches Uriah Johnson (Head Coach & Community Manager), Krishna Pate, and Nathan Eldering were all amazing. They listened to my wrist injury (doctor's orders: no exercises on my hands), made thoughtful modifications, and ensured I still got a great workout. Unfortunately, my last class on July 22 with Erik Payne was a very different experience. From the start, his tone felt curt and dismissive when I explained my injury. He adjusted my setup in a way that made my modifications harder, and when I tried to get his attention, his responses felt snappy rather than supportive. Even after reminding him multiple times about my limitation, he continued to suggest exercises I couldn't do, and when I chose safe alternatives, he questioned me sharply in front of others. I became so uncomfortable that I left the class early and decided not to return for the remainder of my pass. It's disappointing because the other coaches were fantastic and truly made me feel welcomed and cared for. I hope this feedback helps ensure all clients -- especially those with injuries -- receive the same level of understanding and support.

My local YMCA (John Rolfe) closed recently and we don't really like Tuckahoe because it is usually…read moretoo crowded. So we checked out acac. This is a fitness Mecca! Here's my impression after the first week: Signing up for membership was challenging. The price we were quoted over the phone was different than what we were told when we showed up to join. And actually we had an appointment with the membership director and he was on vacation and everyone from membership was gone so one of the front desk attendants gave us a tour. They also gave us a pass to the weekend to make up for the debacle. When we showed up on Saturday we met with someone in membership and that's when the pricing changed because what we were quoted only covered 3 people. So we paid extra for the fourth and our fifth couldn't join because the cost of their membership was too high and she is a student (my daughter). She is 26 so that's why she has to have her own membership. I get it. Also the hot tub and rooftop pool is extra, so be aware. They also have a Recovery area that includes infrared saunas and cold plunge, plus a variety of other equipment. That's an extra charge too, but the first month is free so you can check it out. Other than that miscommunication, it's been pretty seamless. Every staff member I've encountered has been professional and super helpful. Kudos to the center for hiring great people. Any kind of exercise you could possibly want to do is under the roof of acac or at one of their other facilities. The classes and yoga studio is top notch. I've done a few classes and also yoga, signed up for the egym and have used the hot tub, sauna, plunge, etc., and it's all been good. It's only a week in and I feel right at home and motivated to work out every day. I still have so much more to try! I love that I can do something different everyday so I don't get bored. Joining acac costs more but so far it's worth it for us.

My daughter and I have been members of the Brooks Family YMCA in Charlottesville for less than 6…read moremonths and we love it. It is an incredibly clean and organized facility with lots of options for cardio and weight training. I love the spin classes which are available almost daily and various hours of the day. The instructors for spin classes are all incredible and challenging yet approachable and encouraging. The indoor walking/running track is awesome boasting large beautiful window seats which offer beautiful views of the trees behind the building. There's even a child care facility onsite! The design of the building itself is also thoughtful. There are locker rooms but multiple cubbies and jacket racks for storage. There are two levels , the lower level with the basketball court and yoga/ studio rooms as well as a large weight training area. Not to knock the local fitness centers but I was a longtime member of ACAC however due to a job change I could no longer afford that membership. I've waited 4 years to rejoin a gym and the Brooks Family YMCA is definitely worth the wait. Everyone I meet at the YMCA appears to be as satisfied as I am and why not?!? We have the cleanest, most modern and affordable facility with the most amenities in Charlottesville, Va. Thank You to everyone who had a hand in brining this YMCA to our area.

Anyways the guy at the desk barely looked up from his phone to acknowledge me or the couple behind me. Finally swiped in and decided to use the restrooms before tanning. They were amazingly clean. Including the shower area. I was being nosy and just had to see if all had been cleaned . Went back to the desk and signed in for tanning.....got to the room and when I walked there were paper towels everywhere on the floor and what I can only hope was tanning lotion all over the walls and floors. I should've taken pictures but hightailed it out of there and asked for a different room. I clean for a living but it's not my job as a paying customer to come in and do someone else's job for them. The next room was a little better. At least useable. I can't help but wonder where the trash cans are that they used to have.
