Took away the damn basketball court, just for more elderly workout rooms, bring it back

It is ridiculous the volume at which they play their music during some of the exercise classes. You can hear all of the lyrics and bass outside the room with the doors closed. Hard to study or read your phone. read more

I had a terrible experience with the lifeguard training. A specific male and female made me feel terrified, unconfident, and gave me such bad vibes. I had TREMENDOUS ANXIETY. They made me feel terrible for even asking a question, a simple question for clarity! it was dreadful and i felt very discouraged for the assessments i had to complete. if you have to get lifeguard certified, i would 100% NOT recommend doing it through the hendersonville ymca....!!! we were tossed and left in the water for up to 3 hours with crinkly skin and no breaks!! If we even messed up once we would get scolded and shamed. It was not a good environment and if you are wanting to learn to better improve your skills in a happy enviromeant DONT come here. I also want to add how my instructors (who are most likely less experienced than me) were teaching... i don't think sooo!!!!!! read more

This is an excellent facility. From people playing card to an excellent workout facility and pool. Better than the one at home. And, I love the one at home. The staff is friendly and helpful. I stop in every time I'm in town. read more

it's really a HUGE disservice to paying members that they don't staff appropriately enough to keep the entire outdoor pool open all season. Closing off the deep end of the pool and leaving only a tiny area open that isn't ankle deep is an absolute joke. For the price we pay for our membership we should have access to the entire outdoor pool, all day, every day, all season. read more

matthew and Mary!! first off miss mary was so sweet and explained all the amenities this ymca has! i explained to her that this was gonna be my first time and she instructed me to talk to matthew! second off mr Matthew was super understanding and explained to me where everything was! he explained the payment process and even offered a recommendation 20% discount if I knew anyone that had a membership! sadly I didn't know anyone, but that's besides the point! both of those team members are critical to the ymca team! they explained discounts, were super friendly, and very very kind with how the expressed themselves! they deserve a raise! the ymca is the only gym I'm gonna go to now because of those two team members! I will be recommending everyone I know to sign up because of those two! whoever the boss is hired two very helpful team members who are critical for this ymca! read more

The best Y in middle TN!! Always so so clean and the staff is always so friendly and helpful, especially Tracy and Mary!! Everyone always says hello when you come in and can help with anything! Rachel F's full body strength class is amazing! It's always so well planned and she's so knowledgeable. Victor's vinyasa yoga class is also a good one! The Y membership is definitely worth every penny! read more

This YMCA does such a great job with fun family activities. Themed pool parties, disco dance parties, lawn movies with popsicles, Olympic family competitions...they have all been so much fun for the kids. The kids areas are great - my daughter loves to play in the little "town" they created and my older kids love being in the arcade. I wish we had Pilates reformer classes and a few different machines but overall this Y does a great job of promoting family fun. Strict lifeguards are a good thing! The outdoor pool is amazing with slides that the kids love. And a lot of the lifeguards PLAY and interact with the kids even on their breaks. read more

Although I haven't had the opportunity to take a class yet.......I will say this is by far the cleanest and family friendly I have attended! I've been to several in Middle Tennessee and I can say this one got it right! The indoor childcare area has a wide variety of things (toys, stage, playhouses etc) to keep them well entertained including a spacious area for the older kiddos. The out door pool area is awesome... a gated playhouse area, REAL patio furniture for the adults and plenty of shaded seating. Way to go!!!! read more

We have felt welcomed and they have been friendly with my toddlers in the child area. Even though it's quite a hike to get there (40 minutes) , we will be come as often as possible read more

Why This "Y"?...Let me count the ways! We've belonged to many Y's in the last 20 years, mostly because we've moved around quite a bit and have made it a practice to find the nearest, but this one has been the DEAREST by far. As a whole, I've found the YMCA to be a great establishment with something for everyone in the fam. What sets this particular location apart from the rest are the people. The staff here are not only professional, but they're also personable, relatable, gracious, kind, friendly, helpful, inviting, serving, knowledgeable, forgiving, flexible (not talking about their physical ability to stretch, but yeah that too), ad infinitum. This is a place I can take my grandson, AND my parents and still find my own niche. I give them a 5 for affordability, bang for my buck, the best place to workout, hang-out, swim, run, sun, play, stay and find the best me that I can be. And they get an "A" for amenities...I'll post pics later...Bravo Sumner County Y and thanks for having us. :) read more

I belonged here for about a year before I had to go somewhere else. My 2 main issues were the hours and the price. Only my daughter and I were interested in belonging and we did not qualify for any discounts. My daughter liked the pool and I liked the fitness area and classes but the cost isn't worth it. The classes were ok but many of the participants, including some instructors, are more interested in socializing than exercising. The place is clean, the staff is friendly and the equipment is well maintained but that is also the case at other places for about 1/2 the price. read more

Been a member for about five years, happy to now live nearby. This Y is always clean, well lit, and well staffed. The pool is clean and the equipment works. I've only used the outdoor pool once, but the lifeguards were attentive and strictly enforced the rules. I go about three times a week, and never see the same piece of equipment down more than one visit. Staff is friendly and visible. Exactly what I need. read more

I don't do a lot but tread mill.....but I like the whole place. Equipment is new and up to date as far as I know..and have never had a problem getting an answer or help. If I had to point out something negative....people talking on cell phones in the cell free areas. and. I wish the water in the showers had a little more power. I'm tough on reviews. Bottom Line...glad it's here and I can go... read more

I have been a member of a couple of different YMCAs in middle Tennessee for several years. This facility is by far the best I have been to. The equipment is kept up-to-date and the indoor pool, which is my favorite part, has plenty of lap lanes for everyone. The management is very professional and attentive to any issues you might have. Hats off especially to Jolene, the membership director, who immediately took action on an issue I raised. The rest of the staff are very friendly and professional as well. It's the best price for a gym if you're looking for a lot of Variety. They even have the Buddy rate which is awesome! read more

Had the worst experience ever at this YMCA, we came for some family fun.... But with their overly stricked rules made it imposible for an enjoyable day! The lifegrauds are not kid friendly by any means. Heck they have a kiddie pool but have half of it roped off banning kids from the other sides unless a grown up is with them. They also have a kiddie slide in this pool but will yell at your kid for holding on to the railing before going down. Also if your kid wants to use a pool noodle in the kids pool the lifeguard will go and snatch it from them and demand they put it back. My kids were walkimg along side of the pool(not runnin) but blew the whistle at the kids any ways and yelled at them not to run. The power hungery grouchy teanage lifegrauds need to get off of their power trip and learn how to let families have fun.We actually ended up leaving this YMCA and going to our home YMCA in Donelson where familys can actullay have some good old family fun and not be reprimanded for doing so!!!! read more

I've been going to this gym for about 8 months now. I would give it a solid 3.5 if I could. They recently updated the weight equipment which was much needed. The staff is helpful. They seem to have an overabundance of cardio equipment. On busy days the weights area can be pretty crowded. It'd be nice if they added another squat rack or two because that tends to be some of the busiest equipment used. (The smith machines aren't used much.) The classes are great but there is a big block of time between 12-4pm that there aren't any. This would be the best time for me to go but I make it to some of the other classes. The overall crowd in the gym is friendly and not intimidating. read more

Worst Y in Middle TN. Terrible hours - they don't open until 1pm on Sunday's - what about people who don't go to church or go to early service or want to workout before church? They close the pool at 6pm during week. Heck most people don't get off work until 5pm and then by the time they drive home there is no way you could get a swim in during the week. Don't even get me started on the instructors for the classes. Most of them show up anywhere from 5-15 minutes late to start class. Huh - if I showed up to my meetings at work like that I would get fired. They are getting paid for that hour, aren't they? Not to mention the girls that teach the sculpt classes - they are so busy getting their own workout in that they don't stop to correct people who are using incorrect form or to help people who are new. Are they there to work and get paid or to get their hour of workout time in? This Y tailors everything to nonworking people and families. If you live in the area and have a job you don't want to belong to this Y - it has nothing to offer you! read more

Well I used to think highly of this YMCA. Everyone used to be so nice and friendly. Being new to TN it was refreshing to find people so nice. Then last Tuesday happened. As I was working out, a buddy of mine and his son whom have a family of 7 (all members) for the last 15 yrs, were working out as well. My buddy came over to give me a few technique pointers on my bench press. When not too long after a woman whom was working out looked at my buddy and said "your lucky your not shot". He looked around and said "me" she said "you should be shot" Called him by his last name and then called him a "crook". To think in this given day and age with shootings that someone would even say something like that Is appalling to me. I went and complained to Marlene the Manager on duty. She had me point out the woman and immediately came to her defense as an upstanding member prior to even speaking to her. My buddies and I were then treated like we did something wrong. We were asked to go to a back room so the threatening member could leave. Meanwhile we were never threatening in any way. We were then forced to go to a back room for her protection. Weird feeling to be treated like a threat when someone else out of the blue makes such outlandish comments. We felt the need to contact the police and file a report since this lady knew who my buddy was by name without him knowing her. Police arrived then Marlene kicked us all out to deal with it. Even the police. Turns out this was a business dealing where she wasn't satisfied from 15 yrs ago. Well i sure hope this woman doesn't have an agenda to be an active shooter at the Y given she's still bothered by something 15 yrs ago and clearly doesn't understand what our society is dealing with by her comments. Sad!! At the Y of all places. Also handled very poorly by management. read more

This place is always clean, equipment is always functional, and staff is always pleasant and friendly. The facility all the way around is very well taken care of. Overall, this is a nice YMCA. However, for me personally, I have some peeves about this place. The first one is the cables and machines are in a separate room from the free weights and cardio equipment, and that room is SILENT. It makes doing your workout somewhat awkward when the person next to you doesn't have in earbuds. On the other hand, they have a lot of nice equipment and everything is very well taken care of. My other peeve is the lack of seriousness in the lifting room. I personally don't get a "gym vibe" from this YMCA like the ones in Nashville or Inglewood. The weight room has very little serious lifters and a lot of nonsense and riff-raff. More times than not, the equipment or area that I may need is being taken up by someone playing on their phones or chit chatting with a friend. I have no problem with this at all, but there is a common curtesy and gym etiquette that is lacking at this particular location. Overall, this is a great place! It's just not my personal favorite since I prefer a little less nonsense and more of a gym atmosphere. read more

I love the dance classes but some are way too loud! Jamie and Melissa are fabulous!!!! Not only are they great instructors but they also help to preserve our hearing. Thank you! read more

Everyone is very friendly and I don't mean to complain but the YMCA is missing the boat for us older adults. I have been a member on and off for over 3 years. Unfortunately, I don't go near as often as I would like because I can't find a class that meets my needs. I wish the YMCA class coordinator would realize that us older folks would like to have a Silver Sneakers Zumba or low impact dance and exercise class in the evening and weekends as an option just the same as the younger members looking for the high impact classes. The age 50+ member is growing by leaps and bounds and we need classes that we can be comfortable in and can meet our needs. The YMCA needs to realize that many of us adults are still working these days way into our 70's and 80's and yet we can't keep up in those high impact classes. Many of us try the regular Zumba or exercise classes and can't keep up so we try and drop......Please, consider giving us the option of classes we can do and feel comfortable in....there is a need not being met by me and others. read more
