In my opinion, the Great Bridge YMCA is the best in the area. A membership is undoubtedly expensive, but it does get a little cheaper for big families, low-income earners, etc. They have an outdoor and indoor pool, both with lap lanes and slides. The outside pool has a huge kids' play area as well. The I-Zone is great for childcare, including rock climbing, four square, and a variety of video games. Up front is another play area for kids under 10 that looks really fun. And can't forget the gym, of course. Always a bunch of open cardio machines, but the weights area gets crowded sometimes. Lots of little stuff too: basketball court, coffee and tea machines, nursing area, nice locker rooms, sauna, dance classes. Overall great value if you or your family can take advantage of all the services they offer.
Clean, nice, newer facility for a competitive monthly price. Only downside is while the pool(s) are large, usually only one or two lanes are open for laps due to swim lessons and it can be a long wait for one to open.
Staff is most helpful, very friendly, if you do have a difficulty (could not find my lock key) they are right there to help and get the situation under controle. I like the Gentle water exercise, help keep me going. I go 3 to 5 time each week. Love the clean locker and shower areas. So very nice.
This the worst of the 3 YMCA's I use. I only come to this YMCA because it is closest. It's dirty, they have old equipment, too many people in at once, staff doesn't greet you when you come in, and you apparently cant wear a sports bra or crop top...staff offered me a shirt and then pointed to a vague dress code/rules sign that states you are required to wear "appropriate" attire. People wear leggings, shorts and sleeveless shirts...I always have on leggings. I don't even wear shorts because I don't want to get staff infection from the filthy equipment. I have worked out for 5 years in a gym and have never been told I cant wear a sports bra or cropped top as a shirt. SMH...Good lord. You know someone is jealous when you cant go to a gym that has a pool and wear a crop top to workout.
I've been going to the ymca for about 6 years
3 different locations In Chesapeake
Princess Ann, Greenbrier Parkway,
And this one , people have no respect for others and you can see that the min u walk in .
Be careful from employees they will look up ur info and use it for personal issues
Racist management and some employee
Not all
I've know many guys that quite from there for the treatment
I have a family member 13 years old girl kicked out the pool for wearing tights to the pool cuz she's little shy
A guy threaten my wife and I complained but nothing happens cuz the guy was white and maybe a police officer
So after all ymca is a place for family away from any race conflict and they need to make sure employees know that too.
For me I advice everyone to go to a different location and see the true friendly family environment at the ymca
DON'T GO TO THE HICKORY YMCA UNLESS YOU WANT TO SEE SOME LOW LEVEL TREATMENT.

Very clean. Friendly staff. Best time to go is between noon and 2pm. It can get a little crowded after 3pm.

This is the best Y in the area. Play center for kids of various ages is amazing. Therapy indoor pool nice and warm. Water slides in both indoor and outdoor pool. We drive a little further just to go to this Y.
Great staff and they have so much to offer at this YMCA including indoor and outdoor pools, a mini water park for the kids, rock climbing, stay in play and of course exercise equipment.
I like to swim indoors. In weather like today, indoor swimming is the only way to go. However, they only have four lanes, three taken by swimming lessons, and one by two other ppl. Too crowded. They should either limit their appetite for taking kids for swimming lessons, or they should lower my membership fee. When I have the demand, they cannot supply. Simple, lower your fees then due to your limited capacity and refusal of services. Summer can be even more ridiculous when there is a thunder. The whole swimming thing is closed for safety. In a modern time like this, cannot ground your building ?
Awesome STAFF!!! Everyone here is extremely friendly and helpful. The facilities here are so neat and clean. Enjoyed my time here with my friends and family.
I've been to the outdoor pool 4 times this summer. On each occasion, the pool was closed shortly after I got there because someone pooped in the pool. I realize these things happen. On other days, I've made plans to use the pool, only to be texted by friends saying the pool is closed due to the same problem.
I never had this problem when using the Mt Trashmore location or even when a member at the Jewish Community Center in VA Beach. This facility has a very similar layout as the GB/H YMCA, where the shallower and deeper areas are connected. I wish I could give a suggestion as to how to remindy this problem. My solution is to cancel my membership and renew at the Jewish CC. A little travel is worth knowing that parents are more in tuned to their child's BM schedule. (How a parent couldn't know their child crapped in the pool is beyond me.) Plus, it is larger with more to offer. Thought it would be great to become a member of this YMCA, but there are way too many people for such a small facility. There are also too many unattended children in the outdoor pool.

Great pools, gym and kids activities. They have active tracks fitness tracker, a rock wall in the interactive zone, that adults can also climb. Parents night out where they watch your kids. An indoor pool that is heated. An outdoor pool that is really nice. All around this is my favorite YMCA in the Hampton Roads area.
The best YMCA around. The staff is always so helpful. You are always greeted with a smile. No matter where you go in the building its always super clean. I am so happy they added in more changing stalls with more room in them as well. So much easier to get my 2 year old and myself changed after we finish swimming. The Kids zones are amazing, as well as the staff that works in them. I would truly recommend this location to everyone.
