Sarahβs YMCA is a GEM in Ballantyne!
An adult only YMCA, this building is beautiful!
Tons and tons of sunlight, cardio equipment, weights and squat racks, an indoor and outdoor functional area.
Group fitness classes are fantastic, a room designed specifically for hot yoga, and a studio for small group and individual Pilates equipment classes.
Itβs my happy place!

In a fast-paced world where personal wellness often takes a back seat, Saraβs YMCA serves as a haven where individuals and families can prioritize their health, connect with others, and give back to the community. With its outstanding facilities, diverse programs, new equipment, strong sense of community, and unwavering commitment to service, the local YMCA offers an enriching experience that transcends the traditional gym membership. It's more than just a place to work outβit's a place to belong.

This one of the best benefits to living in the Charlotte specifically Ballantyne. This facility is my happy space. It offers everything you can imagine to grow into an even better person. Very facility is impressively designed and managed. Most closest to my heart is the C stands for Christian here and that fact is present and not overpowering.

Just as others have said in their reviews, it's extremely clean, well maintained, staff are super friendly, and they have basically everything you need for a satisfying workout.
My only issue is that the hours need to be extended during the weekdays. 7pm simply isn't an ideal time to close. Especially once I get off work at 5pm, drive, change, warmup, then workout within a 2hr window, makes my time feel rushed. If it wasn't for that, 5 βοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈ w/o question.
*update, well, they did it, THANK YOU SO MUCH for extending the hours.

Sara's Y is great for what it is. It has the right amenities for a great workout. It has a solid supply of functional fitness equipment and bumper plates, jump boxes, slam balls, a sled, and great cardio gear like the skiier, rowers, the self powered treadmill, and air assault bike. I've been at many different hours and it's been busy before and after work hours but never overcrowded. Staff is super friendly and does a great job!

Yes, this Y can get busier in prime time, however you pick your time right and this place is gold. Plus, so many strength training options. Free weights, machines, core, circuit, cardio; wide-open green field. There's so many options to get towards your objective. It's great. Enjoy now, will only get busier as the area gets busier.

I can give 0 review for this ymca. Very bad impression on the management. They donβt have flexible cancellation policy. Even the person moves out of the region, they ask to come and cancel the membership in person at the location of gym. No online cancellation policy or nothing. I am unsatisfied with people who work here too. While signing up why talk sweet, when in need they are just arrogant.

I have been a member of the YMCA for over ten years and it seems to me that all the branches are straying from their original goal which was to support the community. They are growing a lot in this area, but seen to have forgotten about all of the members who have helped them get there. Everytime I turn around the fee continue to rise, but the customer service continues to decrease.

So the place is pretty cool. It has an outdoor area for working out which is wonderful. They have a large cardio area and the Dance Funk is the best if you want to get your heart going! Also if you work in the Ballentyne area you get a discount as well which is neat!
It also has a second floor but I've never been up there. The area is primed if you ever wanted to run in the corporate area that i do when possible and there is a fitness trail near the Y also

Clean and quiet facility , good equiment, not too crowded. Only issue is group class timings are geared towards non working women/men. No variety of classes between 6 am to 7 am on a daily basis on weekdays. Personal training is ok, but not impressive. Trainers seem more keen in maintaining their weekly calender hours than whats in interest of the clents health and needs.

Best location, members are respectful and always seem to clean up after themselves. The womenβs locker room is very clean and comfortable to shower and change before work. Plenty of cardio equipment, outdoor work out area, Crossfit equitment, a heavy bag, and rowing equipment you can bring out onto the upstairs deck weather permitting. I havenβt tried any group classes, but the yoga room appears very nice. Lockers and cubbies available. Also small lockers for keys on lower level. I find the gym is not very busy and I usually donβt have to wait to use specific equipment. The only downside is that they are closed on New Yearβs Eve and Christmas Eve when other gyms and businesses are open. I also wish their Sunday hours were expanded as I much prefer this one over Morrison.
