Its the Y whats not to love...family environment that has it all, fitness center, group exercise studios, 2 pools, basketball court, saunas, child watch. A great dwntn center with great staff.
I'll be the first to tell you- working at the YMCA is incredibly rewarding. I hear employees say it all the time, 'the Y is so much more than a gym', the Y is a real community and the company works hard to support local families.
Geez, Louise. We had just left Greenlife and they had an employee at the door saying, "we're closed," etc., etc. So how hard would it have been for just one of those Y employees to say, "hey, we just closed." It would have been no big deal to us that they closed early. It's just the attitude of watching someone go through the effort of getting bags and towels in hand and then just driving off chuckling to themselves, "Hardeeharhar! Won't that be hilarious when they get to the door and it's closed and we didn't even have the courtesy to put a sign on the door saying that we had closed early. Oh, hohoho, what chumps!"
Very friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful new renovations
The Downtown Asheville location is currently hiring lifeguards and swimming instructors! Being apart of our Y family gets you a FREE membership and discounts for your family. Applications can be submitted through the YMCA of Western NC website.
Between that and the lack of privacy in the locker rooms because they're too timid to enforce the "no cell phone" policy and the nasty bathrooms at the Woodfin location, we're going to see if there's a gym that treats its customers with respect.
We have been members of the Y since 1985, but after what just happened moments ago, we will be changing to another gym.
We pulled into the parking lot as two people (who we realized later were the last employees leaving the building). They watched us get our bags out and walk toward the temporary entrance and as they backed out of their parking spaces next to the building NEITHER OF THEM HAD THE DECENCY to say "Sorry, we're closed." SERIOUSLY! FOR REAL! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!
The WNC YMCA is the most expensive gym in the area, and they're open the least amount of hours. In fact, they just reduced their hours even more for summer, even though most working adults schedules don't change and it caused us a huge inconvenience. Of course they're happy to keep charging the same amount of money for less availability and service. Also I have seen people using the gym equipment in a way that could harm themselves, and the staff and trainers just stand there and don't say anything. If they're not there for safety and to coach members then what are they there for? The good thing about a Y membership is that I can visit other Y's across the country when I travel. The machines are new and work well. If you have money to burn, try them out.
