Friendship, caring spirit!
First of all I do love the ymca. But the last 2 years its been going down hill in reidsville from the sports to the afterschool. Sports you get no emails or updates hardly and for the afterschool they will not help your child with homework and when they ask for help they tell them they are busy and give them a sec. But then they ask again and they yell at them for interpting. Then only give them 30 min for homework. Then go play even when homework isn't completed. They need to get better. But I do appreciate some who help and play with the kids.
Never crowded, always friendly and clean!
I like the friendly atmosphere in the 1pm class
I like that we have an aquatic class. I wish we has a deep water class. I would like to have more aquatic equipment to aid in our exercise such as weight to use in the water.
Most of the time the water is too cold for senior citizens. I would like for the water and the air to be warmer. Thankful for what we have but would appreciate it if a variety of classes were offered in the pool..
Carisha is a terrific, inspiring leader.
She likes it and is a great help for me
I love Team Reidsville!
The wellness programs are suitable for all types of needs. The instructions are very thorough and take their time when training individuals or in a group.
Service your pool in such a way that it does not constantly breakdown and is closed
Working to achieve health goals in a group is much more fun than working on them by yourself. I have people to encourage me, and people I get to encourage. I try heavier weights or standing instead of sitting, or other change sometimes. There is accountability on being in a group. You are missed when you are not there. I am achieving my goals and I encourage you to step up and join in.
Love the facility amenities & the staff are warm and pleasant. The only down side is the cleanliness of the shower facilities are not always up to par. Sometimes there hair found around the drains or on the walls, drain flies are seen in the shower stalls, or drainage issues. This is the only reason I may be hesitant to recommend the facility to others. But other than those issues, I’ve loved my overall experience.
I just hope and pray the YMCA will use Christian principles in making choices and changes within this organization
Water Aerobics class at 6 am MWF is perfect for someone who works. If you had another kind of class at 6 am Tues, Weds or Saturday I would attend. Also would like you take a look at womens' access to steam room and vary the schedule a bit. It seems very pro-men.
Sign up was quick and easy. Very helpful people. Initial training sessions showing the proper machine usage was excellent!
Chris is awesome!
The Reidsville Y is family to me. I live closer to Spears, but I want the Reidsville Y. With that said, we need to continue to monitor the youth going into the weight room and loitering. Most don't know what they are doing in there, and somebody is going to get hurt. Also, we need to return to Sunday afternoon opening. We stopped at Covid, and it is time to re-institute that.
the friendly staff, clean building, and good workout equipment
Not happy with the way the soccer program is being run. Why did we do away with the 9-10 age group? Realistically 10 year olds really shouldn't be playing with 14 year olds. We were told that if we had a child in that group we could choose to age them down to the 7-9. We made that request and that request wasn't honored, our 10 year old (only playing soccer for the second time) is on a 10-14 team. I've also watched coaches scream from the sidelines at the kids. That is not coaching and it is super inappropriate, especially for the younger groups. Telling a child to "do better," "be faster," or "you're better than this," isn't an acceptable way to help them learn the sport or help them grow as a teammate and individual.
The Reidsville Y sports director is very unprofessional and is worried about his time and not time with the kids!
Very good program!
Hannah was patient
I would recommend the YMCA for sports because I noticed the time that is spent with the children and that is what makes a difference in a child’s life sometimes!
Our instructor (Faith) is very helpful and is committed to helping everyone she has helped us on our journey to a healthier lifestyle, Our swim team is so friendly and kind always helping one another... Also, Thank You YMCA of Reidsville for setting the standard of what dedication and hard work is in taking care of the facility. You guys are AWESOME!!! You're so kind and helpful every step of the way. Thank You So Much!!!
Sometimes the aquatics instructor doesn’t seem to be prepared seems to be teaching off the cuff. But she still is good.
Never offer new and challenging aquatic classes! All new classes are always offered for land classes. We never get anything new at the pool. Even though we ask and ask for years and years!!
