I enjoyed going to this gym while I could afford it. Doing any alternative price for the gym I felt would put me over the reduced membership qualification. It just am confused. If they are a Non-Profit and they say they donβt turn away ones inability to pay that is not the case. They need to change maybe how they word that because my Inability to pay does not allow entrance to come and workout over there. If itβs not the two options of membership then you are not allowed to go there.

Excellent facility. The staff are fabulous. Machines kept up to par and new ones added frequently. Following the rules make it a better experience for everyone such as don't sit on your cell phone on machines. Wipe down after use. I do it before as well. There is a reason no crocs and open shoes allowed. It is to protect you yet still see people in crocs. Be positive and upbeat! Great personal trainers...They guide you with correct use of free weights and machines...Good workout goals. Currently working with Will.

It's been a few months since I've been here. The parking lot always seems full but when you get inside it doesn't feel crowded. They've added some more recumbent bikes, which is nice. My wife says that she doesn't like having to wait on an empty machine. Always a lot of people coming and going.

I was on family membership for years and after looking closely at use, we didnβt use membership frequently enough to justify, so I cancelled. I tried to get my teen some non-phone activity one weekend and was disappointed to learn from front desk that weekend day/guest passes are no longer permitted

We are out deposits for multiple weeks of day camp after finding out some concerning details after registration. Despite the YMCA not disclosing camp information until we paid, they refuse to refund the deposits. I spoke to YMCA leadership and they stand behind the camp policies such as refusing to let kids leave between 3pm and 4pm...a completely illegal policy. They said they made deposits non-refundable due to previous years, so many people cancelled.... well it's no wonder! Make sure you get all the details before signing up, they choose to not put it on their website.

At the Y, I use personal training and the training equipment. Caroline Duncan was recommended to me by a friend and Iβve been working with Caroline for about 15 months. I have learned more about myself in these 15 months than I ever have in my life and Iβm 54 years old. Iβm learning about my body of course - fitness, strength, nutrition, etc. and Iβm also connecting a lot of dots about me - why I am the way I am and how to make lasting change.

The Spears YMCA is conveniently located near the Battleground-Horse Pen Creek intersection. It is open from 5 AM to 9 PM on weekdays, has a complete gym with new weights and machines as well as an indoor pool and sauna. There are small lockers available for your phone and keys and full size lockers in the changing rooms. Water fountains are spread throughout the complex and most are fitted with the option to fill bottles. The YMCA offers classes such as swim lessons, spin classes, pickle ball, etc. and personal trainers are also available. Kid's under 13 can use cardio equipment with parental supervision, but are not allowed to use weights or strength training equipment. Childcare is offered at certain times and weekends have different times than the weekdays. The kids area is divided by age to prevent smaller children getting knocked over by larger kids playing. A very good resource for the active individual or family.

Love the Spears Y!! Today I used the recumbent bike a little over 5 miles while watching A Vet Life on my phone. Heart rate average 125. I am just getting started back and have back issues, so hopefully, I can increase my workout. The staff at th re Y is great. I want to get back to the yoga classes. Tabitha is a top notch yoga instructor.

Usually great, but lately the pool is overbooked with lessons and swim team, and most lap swimmers cannot get into the pool until after 5. Combine this with New Years resolution folk and you have a real mess. I hope a solution to this can be resolved. Yesterday, I was in the pool and the swim team only had two kids but decided to take up two lanes anyways. This seems mean.

Donβt let your kids go here. I was a coach for soccer for two seasons and they didnβt fully vet me (contacted zero references) before I was allowed on the field with kids. This is unacceptable. Other coaches were violent and aggressive and despite many complaints from parents, they were allowed to keep coaching. They probably werenβt vetted either. The lack of oversight and proper due diligence from the administration creates an unsafe environment for children that the YMCA is liable for.

We have generally had a positive experience going to this YMCA location. I would strongly suggest having clear guidelines on what is the minimum age limit of each equipment. The guidelines posted at the gym are quite ambiguous, mentioning that children of certain ages, usually 9 years or older, cannot lift weights or use weight machines. However, my husband was told today by the Wellness director that our 9 year old could not use certain equipment that we would not have considered to be weight machines. It was an unpleasant situation for my husband and daughter, because we had been previously advised by another staff member that all the equipment in a particular section of the wellness area was open to 9+ year olds. Please make sure that all your staff is properly trained to advise patrons adequately on the rules, so that patrons are not getting conflicting information, and that the guidelines are clearly stated on each equipment as to what minimum age is allowed.

I want to share my thoughts about the local YMCA. Having one close to home is truly a blessing because it gives you the opportunity to connect with others and helps you avoid feeling isolated.
The membership fees are reasonable and if you can't afford it, they have financial assistance available. I especially appreciate having access to the sauna and indoor swimming during the winter when I have nowhere else to go.
I'm grateful for how well-maintained and clean the facilities are, and for the support they provide to those who need it the most.

I will be canceling my membership. They tell you you can bring a guest when you visit, but then make your guest give all their info and inform your guest they will be charged on their next visit. Don't tell me I can bring a guest and then make them feel unwelcome. If their is going to be a charge, tell the member who is supposed to be able to bring a guest with their membership.

I love that my brother and I are able to work out at the Y. And I am able to use the facility as an extension of going to school at Noble Academy (membership is covered). However, I had questions and instead of being nice, I was looked at like I had 4 heads and was spoken to rudely by the front desk people for simply asking how things work between the school and the YMCA. I work at chick fil a and this is NOT how we would treat our customers. In the gym they say βwipe down the machinesβ which I always do, but itβs hit or miss weather the wipes are ACTUALLY filled. Too many handicap spots, and only 2-3 are actually taken. We can never find a decent parking spot. Card reader never works either.
Other than this itβs a good facility.
