Went to CK yesterday to workout after a shift at the hospital, and after my workout I went to shower and 50% of the showers were closed off with caution tape. It was busy when I went to people were waiting for showers to open up, just ended up leaving rather than waiting. Last few visits have been disappointing, no towels, soap dispensers missing from the walls, black mold on the ceiling. Hopefully they remedy this issues.

The Childress Klein YMCA in Charlotte is an incredible facility that exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I walked in, the staff was welcoming and helpful, making me feel right at home. The gym is equipped with top-notch machines, and the variety of workout options made it easy to see why it’s such a popular spot. The indoor track and pristine swimming pool stood out to me as highlights, offering great ways to stay active.

I’m particularly interested in joining one of their group fitness classes and trying out their water aerobics. The clean and spacious locker rooms, along with the convenient location in Uptown Charlotte, make it an ideal place for me to start a new fitness routine. I can’t wait to become a member and take advantage of everything this YMCA has to offer!

This place has gone way downhill. Never shower towels. Many times no workout towels. Near half the showers don't work and have been that way since COVID. Lastly many times there isn't any soap in the dispensary when the showers do work. I don't get it this YMCA is in the heart of uptown Charlotte and folks who work uptown should be able to get in and out for a workout with all the amenities that they pay for with a Y membership.

Everyone in Charlotte seems to love the Dowd YMCA, but I'd like to offer that Childress Klein is one of the Y's best kept secrets. Maybe it's because it's in an office building in uptown, and that scares people away, but the parking is free via parking validation, and the elevator literally takes you from the garage to the front door of the Y. The equipment is great, clean and the A/C is usually nice and cool, as opposed to the Sweaty Dowd. Never have to wait for the equipment I need as it's rarely busy. Definitely prefer CK over Dowd in the uptown area!

These people were rude and disrespectful. I have been paying for my membership there for over five years; even with the COVID-19 pandemic, I never stopped paying. I had an issue with my bank card, and they were unwilling to work with me. The front desk was rude, and the manager, Paul, was rude.

Went here for free as a Guest from the Hotel in the same building. The Gym is massive with a basketball court, big swimming pool, cardio-, endurance- and strength area with weights. Therefore no waiting to use any of the machines/facilities/ weights. Some of the weights seemed rather old and I personally don't see the connection of fitness and faith. Overall nice spacious gym!

A victim of its own success and some structural issues.
Before Wells Fargo came back this was an escape from the crazy crowds of Dowd. It has everything you need, if not a lot of weights comparatively, and first rate locker facilities.
Now? Too many people have added 5-10 minutes of weight time onto workouts. And the aerobic classes in the middle basketball make it Impossible to hear your own music.
Good but busy, the story of the Y as gym in Charlotte.

Mask policy is not well enforced. Some of the basketball players didn’t even have a mask on. Others on the court and elsewhere working out were not wearing them properly...pulled down under their chin or nose exposed. This branch does not seem to be concerned enough to even remind people of the policy. I observed staff watching the b-ball game and not say anything to those not wearing masks. Very disappointing, especially with the high rates they charge to be a member. Seriously thinking of moving my membership to Planet Fitness a block a way. They charge a fraction of the cost of a Y membership.
That being said, the facility is nice and you can get a good workout in. Also nice that a pool is on premise.
The COVID hours are very poor. For those of us who enjoy a mid morning or mid afternoon workout, it is not possible. Being a member that only uses the CK Y, the experience is very poor during COVID. Giving two stars is being generous, but the facility is nice. The staff, and enforcement of health policies, need to step up their game

This is a smaller YMCA but it has all that you need in it. It is also located right in the heart of Uptown. The staff here was fine and there are also some cool places to walk around if you just go outside just to sight see. It also has a rather strange stretching room that is a little on the small side. It is this small square room.

One of the staff member who works there is arrogant and a bit of racist. There is something wrong with their system and said my membership is expired. (I have been paying on time for over three years and my membership worked a day before this happened.

The staff member gave me a look like I am being dishonest to them because the system couldn’t match my info of my current family plan. They even told me some people are using other people’s name to sneak in, insinuating me that I might be doing that. I have been working out in this y for over three years. This is really humiliating and disgraceful.

How come they’re showing me the attitude which is their system problem. Really disappointed.

This YMCA was small but not crowed in the morning. It had treadmills and spin bikes over looking a basketball court. The weights we're mostly limited to machine weights and there was very little space for free weights. The stay was friendly and helpful. The location of this YMCA is in the 1 Wells Fargo Tower and it is connected with the Hilton hotel. As of November 2018 the Courtyard Marriott had an agreement with this YMCA for it's guest to use the facilities. There are many classes offered at the YMCA and it was a good opportunity to get a workout in before starting work while I was out of town.

I love the basketball set up. The pool is very nice. Spacious locker rooms WITH towels provided! Pool is not deep, but sufficient for laps. 4 stars because I dislike the old weight equipment and it is rather dirty. They validate parking on the weekdays AFTER 430 pm so keep that in mind if you are parking and want to avoid fees. Saturday and Sunday are free parking all day. Generally slow on the weekends. Busy on weekdays.
