The Y is ran very well! It is always clean and everything is usually in top condition. The front desk is always Courteous and helpful.

I very much liked the community that has developed there, and I liked my interaction with the front desk, but my opinion on this place inevitably soured. Can you believe this place doesn't have a jumprope? I had to bring my own, and I left it there for others to use, and after two weeks it was stolen. Did they think to go buy another one? Nope. Then I tried to bring my junior high daughter's schoolmate as a guest and just got the 5th degree from the front desk. Turns out I'm only allowed to bring one guest per year!!! It was my first guest ever. This really soured my on the Y. LA Fitness allows guests upon demand. People keep telling me about that place, but it was a moot point come COVID. I think the last straw was when 17 and below members were not allowed in during COVID. OK, you gonna give me a 50% discount off my $85 family membership? Nope. Nothing. So I just quit. They didn't even try to keep me. That's how much $ they make. As such, they've lost the impetus of appreciating customers. Don't kid yourself. These folks count the pennies. I was there like 5 years. I probably should've just bought my own gym equipment. read more

This place has it all and a membership here also gets you into the one on j ferry. Its got all the equipment a regular gym might have. Only thing that may be a downer for some is its got a family feel so if your looking for an LA fitness feel you wont get it. Their kids stuff is awesome and the people who work there with the kids are the best. Joyce, a woman who works the child area has been there since my neighbor's 17 year old was a baby. Wow! My two girls love it there. I recommend their kids programs! read more

My kids love this place. It's incredibly convenient and the staff is super nice. My only complaint as someone who use the weight room a lot is that the free weight area layout isn't ideal. Kinda cramped and awkward. But I feel like everyone here does the best they can and truly cares. That's what's important. read more

We have been coming to the YMCA for a couple of years for different reasons. We have really enjoyed this location. The place has a fantastic pool. The swim program is pretty great. The activities they hold for families and children are constant and entertaining. The facilities look great and taken care of. The summer camp options are many and they do a pretty good job in keeping everything organized and streamline (although it's not always perfect). The staff is usually pretty nice. They have the best Zumba teachers who give it all in their classes. It's worth it just for that. It really feels like an extended family, a real community there. My only suggestion to them is to be mindful of starting a class that has great feedback and audience and then suddenly and abruptly take it away to accomodate for space or something else. This seems to happen quite a bit in summer when camp is being held but then after camp they don't put the class back. read more

I've always been a fan of the Y, particularly for its focus on families and activities that can engage everyone. Since we just started a family, we wanted a place that our daughter could go to when she is older for fun activities and to get exercise. The layout of this Y is good. Very easy to find everything needed. The pool always has at least one lane for lap swimming (even if the swim teams are practicing) so it is accessible. There is even a "babies in the water" class for babies 6 mo and older to get a first experience with being in the pool in a special shallow location. I like the squash courts, but you should sign up ahead of time to book out the time to avoid waiting in line. The spin classes are interesting, and you can just hop on and join in and spin for as little or as long as you want. There are a few tennis courts with a hitting wall for practice (nice!) in case you don't have a partner on hand to practice/play with. I like that they have a separate parking space for the folks that will be on the soccer fields so it doesn't clog up the regular parking. We also looked into the "daycare" area which was very organized. You get 8 hours of care time per week (nice if you need to drop off your child for an hour so you can get a workout in!). That is not the awesome part though. What was really neat is that they have separate play areas for babies, toddlers, and older children and offer different services and support tailored to the age of the child. They also make you sign in and out and do not allow anyone in who isn't staff---a good security feature. You can see everything mostly from the front desk so that was good. You can certainly drop off any needed baby/child care items, including food and snacks, diapers, formula, etc and they will take care of the child for you. It is such a relief for my spouse and I, since it is hard to juggle fitness with a baby in tow that needs 24/7 attention. read more

First swim lesson and loving how patient the instructor is with my little. Not to mention the entire staff being sweet. Love this family friendly environment. read more

I am a big fan of the Y and what it stands for. Love the programs and ability to go to other YMCA's if you are a member (or even a drop in). The classes are good. The equipment is ok, sufficient for my needs. However, I do wish we had more higher end, different, and better maintained equipment. I would pay a higher premium to do so. read more

I have been a part of this ymca for about 6 months now and still love it. No place is perfect but the workers, directors, and the vision of the Y is what i love. Are there some areas to improve and update, aboslutely but that comes with time and discussion. The YMCA needs to go back to being innovative to connect more with the community. It is not a gym, it is a community for anyone of various backgrounds, morals, beliefs, and age to come together and be community and enjoy all that the YMCA has to offer. Looking forward to continuing being a part of the YMCA and see what new is to come as time progresses. read more

I workout a lot (obviously) so I like a good gym. This Y's weight room is one of the smallest I have seen but I honestly have never been here when it was too crowded. The rates are significantly cheaper than any of the nearby gyms. Also if you have kids and don't use the Y you are a bad parent. read more

Love the jacuzzi, steam room,& dry sauna..Hate abundance of cardio equipment & lack of free weights. Not a gym for body builders

This is an ok place. This ymca is unique in terms of the fact that it caters to one extreme to the other. If you 12 or 65 you will be VERY happy. Heck even the temperature seems to be a bit warm to accommodate. Equipment is nice but the spin class really cranks the 70s tunes. Sorry but CCR and spin do not mix. read more

This Y is the bees knees. They have it all! The pool, the people and everything in-between. We are members for life.

Overall okay. Kids care is amazing, great classes; everything else is about average. There are some really picky and complain-y patrons, so there are signs EVERYWHERE reminding you to do this, don't do that... kinda overkill. It seems like a lack of basic manners on the part of some (being inconsiderate, not watching their kids, etc.) have made this location a bit hypersensitive. Good price for all they offer - lots of amenites: pool, childcare, aerobics/step/yoga/spin/Pilates, jogging track, basketball gym, LOTS of machines. Limited weights area. read more

One of the swimming instructors was being very rude to my child. my child was grabbing some rings that she got from a toy bucket and an instructor came up to her and said "those are mine!". My child apologized as any good person would do but guess what the instructor says. She says"that's what you should say!". My child was about to cry. The instructor's attitude did not stop there. She kept shooting my child dirty looks. I hope they improve service towards children. read more

Excellent youth programs - soccer, basketball, etc! Very impressed with the winter/coed league basketball program. The coaches were friendly, dedicated and made the season fun. Great way to start off your kids in a fun environment that is competitive but not too 'over the top'... read more

We were members here for 3 years and finally got tired of the many security and cleanliness problems we encountered. The dressing room/lockers/shower area had loitering young people, not dressed for any kind of gym activity, passing things around under their hands. I stopped using these areas entirely. The pool and whirlpool were always dirty and crowded and the whirlpool was very small and only held about 3-4 people at a time and had broken, ragged areas of tile that I cut my foot on several times but after complaining, I was told it had already been reported. We started going to the Y's in Alpharetta and Canton instead, since they were cleaner, had better security and were more well-managed, but got tired of having to drive that far just to use the membership we were paying for. We gave up and went elsewhere. read more

The YMCA on Piedmont is a very nice and clean facility. I was a bit nervous about joining one of the classes but found the staff very friendly and informative and the class members welcoming. read more
