I love my classes

I always feel and see a positive, supportive, kind environment when I go to the gym. It’s peaceful and everyone smiles and hugs and helps each other.

The equipment is always clean and well kept. The ladies that work at the child watch are so sweet and make me feel so comfortable leaving my little one with them.

Facilities are clean, the exercise equipment is modern and has a variety that meet every need of level of workouts.

Very good value for price, friendly, family oriented, inclusive, non pretentious culture

Have more live group exercise classes for seniors (like Silversneakers classes), 5-6 days/week. Have some of these classes in afternoons.

I always recommend the Y to others. Why? Because the staff and exercises are very helpful to my health goals. But most of all this is an organization based on Christian faith and values. I love seeing the bible open with a bowl of take home scriptures for encouragement. I appreciate the scriptures I see around the gym too.

Main area carpet is stained, filthy. The back red weight room has carabiners which need to be replaced. Additionally the over head pipes and edging looks like it hasn’t been cleaned in years. The Rep Td crew who work out there around noon everyday are unprofessional. They constantly drop weights unnecessarily and I believe on purpose. They overtake the area as they owned it. All the other trainers I observe in the back are courteous and mindful of others. The Rep TD crew is not. This is a recurring issue. They come across as entitled. All members of the Y should be able to work out there without being subjected to unnecessary weight dropping and unprofessional behavior.

Really love the pilates reformer classes.

I wish there were more classes for youth at this location. I wish you did the e-games events for kids. I wish there were more time options for yoga and Pilates classes.

A great place to spend time to better yourself.

This YMCA facility is big enough to offer a variety of classes and has plenty work out machines which are always kept functional and clean. All the staff is friendly and knowledgeable.

Love the facility

I love the group classes that are offered. I love the Y!

It was mostly the childcare. I hate the technology room... I don't want a zombie space without interaction, I miss the tree house. My oldest son begged to go in the computer room and I ended up letting him because there were no kids his age to play with in the childcare room...but he didn't interact with anyone.. he has too much screen time as is... we do not need another space without movement. I don't know if we'll return except on rare occasions...

I love the classes.

I like best Silver Sneakers.
Essential for aging and osteoporosis.

Staff is friendly and equipment

clean

Of the staff – – Caroline, autumn, and Rene.

Francisco’s boot camp class on Saturday mornings is the one class I try to never miss.

Cleaner showers, clean and repair lockers in dressing room.

I have been coming to the DR Semmes YMCA for st least 15 years. I absolutely love th

Waaaay too many locked lockers that I’m sure aren’t being paid for. You need to take care of that.

Concept 2 rowing machines. The stair master rowing machines are trash.

Location is open, clean, and good equipment. Just wish it had an indoor pool.

I have had a couple of people join the Y, and they are glad they did. It is a very welcoming environment.

The staff is friendly and helpful and the facility is clean and well-maintained. Some of the weight equipment needs to be replaced. I would also like the DR Semmes location to offer more evening yoga classes. Other locations seem to have more classes available throughout the week.

Staff and equipment are first class and advice always available. A healthy and safe environment for all ages.

I like the people and the mission of the YMCA. I think it is a great organization.

The class schedule for the evenings (the only time I can go) is very repetitive. I love the Reps FX class but can only go on work holidays. I’m tired of Zumba and Yoga. Would love a better mix.
Also, the bathroom is sometime a little gross.

I’d like to see some Hammer Strength style machines included for upper body. Also. Being open later (until at least 6 pm) on Sunday’s would be appreciated.

People very kind and ready to help

My location’s hours are too limited. 10 pm closing time would be ideal.

I like the variety of classes! Instructors, staff are great!

Great atmosphere, excellent availability of equipment, and convenient to my work.

Very clean and great people

I like the classes, the instructor's are very good at what they do. I also like the staff they are very nice and always willing to answer questions and help out.

It is very conveniently located, close to my work. The facility is neat and clean. The facility is not intimidating - I think this is because the clientele is diverse in age, fitness level, etc.

The family friendly atmosphere, gym is clean and pleasant.

Occasionally it feels warm on the gym floor. What about turning on the AC and maybe playing music? Are there any plans to build an indoor basketball, volleyball court?

The facility on the main floor is dirty and dingy. The carpet needs an in depth steam cleaning. In the back red room, things have improved with the Athletic trainers still leaves a lot to be desired. Noisy, loud dropping weights without cause. Seems more to impress their clients then show proper technique. They sometimes come in and take over all the racks, leaving none for others to use. I don’t understand why they have a key to the back door. The door should not be propped open. That is a security issue. If they need to move equipment outside fine……then close the door. The red room upper pipes and ledges need to be cleaned. Looks like years of accumulation.

I enjoy the classes but I do miss Atasha (instructor). Sometimes the classes do seem a bit clickish.

Would be a 10 with basketball courts!

friendly staff, clean, lots of gym equipment, I can use my membership out of town.

I would like a sauna added to the gym. I think the rock wall is not utilized, and there are other amenities that would suit the community better.

Every year yall charge raise the price by $2 yet the gym is pretty dirty. The restrooms are always dirty, the machines have a lot of dust on them. The fans on the treadmills that have fans have so much dust in them. That’s my main complaint

Seems geared to retired/older folks and families with young kids.

I love the Y now that y'all brought back good classes. I don't see myself leaving with these new classes in place at all locations

Increased pricing no email stating so. Service has not changed limited weekend hours. Does not justify price increases.

It's a great place to use machines, but needs some more amenities to make up for the lack of a pool, pickleball courts, etc. Sauna and cold plunge would be a possibility. Not sure you could fit in a half court in the lobby? Lots of wasted space.
