The patrons aren't annoying (insert gym participant stereotype here) and I seldom have to skip a piece of equipment because of another person still using it. The basketball court is a plus for me and I love the cardio room and spinning room. I work out here daily and reserve the right to change my opinion but for what I need and expect from a gym, this place is more than adequate despite the free weight area being small.

From day one, I committed to showing up consistently, and that decision truly changed my life. With guidance from Calvin, helpful tips from the staff, a solid diet, and support from my family, I was able to regulate my weight and lower my blood pressure to the point that I no longer need medication. This gym is not "play play." If you're serious about getting fit and want a no-excuses environment that delivers real results, this is the place to be.

I just left the YMCA with their set hours and the closest thing they have to a smoothie bar is the water fountain. I chatted with the owner who is also a personal trainer and barber....multi-talented and very nice. The young lady that worked there gave me a tour of the place and was quite informative. The young man working the smoothie bar whipped me up a tasty drink with a scoop of protein(impressive)......to bad I live 3.5 hours away so I guess it's back to reality but I will definitely return for a workout on my next trip. They also offer towel service, shower area(I think), fitness drinks, special fitness events and personal trainer services, if you're interested.

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.

Not unless you leave your photo ID at the front desk..I only have my military ID and I'm not leaving that with anyone. So no entry and had to go to another brand of gym. Kid up front just laughed and enjoyed telling me no for every solution I proposed to try and utilize my golds membership. Sad, worst golds I've been to based on poor customer experience.

As a swimmer, I've been annoyed that I pay pricey membership fee yet oftentimes get disrupted in the middle of my workout routine when others showing up on dock "I reserved the lane." FIRST COME FIRST SERVED 2 PERSONS PER LANE is the appropriate manner this company should observe. Consider this: All members gotta be treated fairly for the high-price membership they pay.

I told him I live in NC & was just visiting them. He frustrated himself, and just allowed me to go in with only 5 mins to spare for my Aqua Zumba class to start. When I was done, I went back to the desk to see what the issue was because I don't want to deal with that again. A young lady with more knowledge assisted me. She called NC YMCA to verify my membership, created a profile for me, and then told me in the future it shouldn't happen. She said that when I tell them "Nationwide", they will have to pull up a different system to look me up. She was very friendly and patient. The facility has been updated since the last time I was there. It looks more like my local Y now. The locker room was pretty clean. The pool was warm. I had a great time. I recommend this location.

Their tap classes are a joke, utilizing the same moves from Kinderdance to advanced. Their gymnastics classes don't even get to flips, just cartwheels, and their jazz is average. Ballet is good. Her business is kept afloat by a few key families which you'll notice during their end of year recital because they are in 6-8 dances a piece. There is a heavy focus on costumes, props, and wandering around the stage rather than ACTUAL dancing, and their recital gets very boring very quickly. But that's just the icing on the cake- don't plan to use your card to pay for anything besides the classes- almost everything is cash only. Their teachers play favorites, and those that didn't departed abruptly in the middle of the year surrounding a few rumors that were less than kind about the owner. Regardless as to the truth of said rumors, it is quite obvious that there is a LOT of drama going on and it is significantly, (and detrimentally), affecting her business. There are several costs at various times that crop up out of nowhere- can't be in the parade unless the OUTER layer says Dance Kraze, have to wear the right colored tights (and if your class has two outfits, it's different colors for each), super expensive & poor quality pictures, etc etc. The end of the season is BRUTAL in unexpected expenses, so just be prepared. It's also run through her friends and family, which probably has a lot to do with the expense. With perhaps one exception (Thank you Jason), her event staff is indescribably rude and disrespectful, in addition to being inconsistent. Gods forbid you say anything about it, because they will get in your face and try to power play you to get you to cower in submission and retreat. Or ignore you. Or try to walk through you. Not a place I will ever be returning to. And yet the biggest problem is the fact that the recital was held in a school with LIVE CAMERAS and there were girls CHANGING IN THE HALLWAYS WHO WERE NOT TOLD, DESPITE the fact that the dance studio was informed. Well beyond acceptable to me. We will most DEFINITELY not be returning next year.
