I am loving the YMCA swim lessons. They keep the classes small so that there is a lot of attention on each kid. My son's class only have 2. The instructor is very thorough and always takes the time to tell me what they worked on, how he did, where he may struggle, and if there is any "homework", like working on kicking from the hips and not the knees. We are only 2 weeks in, but I look forward to the remainder and having my son be a strong swimmer soon.

I love going into this place. It's a relaxing and inviting atmosphere. Most of the classes offered are top notch. They have a lot of treadmills and cardio equipment. The free weight room could be a little bigger, but overall, a really great gym. The building and view are beautiful.

The Warlick is a great facility to meet old friends and make new ones. Lots of classes for anyone no matter age or physical ability. Most classes are able to accommodate any level, from the older beginner wanting to slowly get back to exercising to young people who can move faster. Always smiling faces. Bring friends and have a look around. You will find this facility to be marvelous.

I went there for the GO Gaston Kickoff. Although I didn't go into the building I did experience quite a bit from the outside. A beautiful area to walk, a spectacular view of the lake, and watched a soccer game at the field. The location had an excellent kayaking facility as well.

The machines are high tech and brand new. Not to mention they work well. The pools are both huge and the collection of free weights and exercise machines is massive. Other than that, the staff is very polite and the facilities are always clean.

One of my favorite Ys to visit. I actually make it part of my vacation any time I visit Belmont with family.

Awful building idea. Parking is horrid, inside is small, and basketball court is a joke. Weight room is embarrassing and track around machines is just plain stupid. They have a stand alone fire place in the middle of the lobby?? Like who's idea was it to close 2 YMCA's to funnel all the members into a smaller Y?? just awful design should be embarrassed id much rather go to clovers Y or Belmont. Dont get me started on the customer service...its a joke. smart mouthed old wrinkly women.

Nice and clean, but the staff is pretty rude. Front desk people act like you're bothering them. Old woman in child watch seems very cold. I left my 6 month old there and about 20 minutes later, they had to come get me because she wouldn't stop crying. She hardly ever cries. Got there and the old woman was just sitting with her on her lap. No toys, no trying to soothe. Just rolling her eyes at my crying baby and quickly handed her back over. I definitely won't be taking my daughter back with me.
Also, actual work out area is not very spacious. Limited number of machines and it feels like everyone is on top of each other. Pool is FREEZING.
I will say that they have a good variety of classes and the instructors seem fun.

PROS: The facility is new & beautiful, and the machines are nice. The child care team is great & courteous, and the big kids playground is awesome. CONS: The customer service is not good and make you feel that they are doing a huge favor for you, instead of making you feel like a valued customer. I've seen other people notice that as well, but I wonder if they are just overwhelmed with the amount of people coming in every day. They have been gradually downgrading all of the benefits and changing the policy just so they can go over capacity. And no one likes an overcrowded gym. No one likes bait and switch.

Beautiful facility sized perfectly for the beautiful neighborhood it is in. Unfortunately that design strategy won't work as long as it is the only YMCA in this community of over 80,000 people.

Of course this place is nice and new, but there are several design features that I question. Like who puts a running track upstairs that people are constantly Crossing back and forth over to get paper towels or to get to other facilities in the building? Also not very much room for free weights or machine weights. As just for a gym this place is very subpar. The good things of it is the pools although I wish they would have added a hot tub somewhere. And the Kids Play Place facility. They put a coffee shop in there that looks like they had nothing else to do with the wasted space. I think I would have rather put it out in the middle of the floor as like a coffee coffee and snack bar filled with protein shakes and snacks along with coffee are Frappuccinos or whatever people would want when they're just hanging out. $8000000 facility and not enough room for 200 people to work out at a time comfortably. I just don't understand the logic of it. I've paid a lot less for better gyms in my time

Awful Communication with the Summer Camp!
I like the YMCA as a gym but don't do summer Camp. Really hard to get someone to follow up with you and time consuming pick up. I have issues with meals or lack of time they give the kids.Will bill you in advance and then not refund you when the head does not communicate with the tail.

Fantastic employees make the Y an enjoyable place to work out. Best part is the racquetball courts.
