Member Testimonials
Best gym I’ve ever belonged to. It’s clean, well kept, very good COVID restrictions. However the best best best part is the staff. Friendly, knowledgeable, willing to help - I’m absolutely thrilled.
The water exercise classes! You have a lot of great instructors who are professional but still fun. My favorite thing to do!
I love that I have a local Y to attend that also has a pool!!! Abingdon Y is always clean, efficient and many choices of classes and activities to do. Even before the pandemic they were always a well maintained facility. The staff is awesome, always ready to help and so easy to work with.
I love the classes that are offered, especially the 8am combat class on Saturday.
Clean environment, everyone follows mask policy for the most part. Good selection of equipment
Staff and facilities are great. Please open stay and play for under age 12 months again!
Clean! Friendly! Open! Honest!
Friendly teachers and all around happy atmosphere
I love the Y. Everyone is friendly. The precautions are followed and I feel safe.
My husband and I use both gym and pool. We've been very happy coming to Ward Y almost every day. It's a beautiful facility and kept in fabulous shape in the time of Covid19. We feel safe there. People are very friendly.
Classes are at a convenient time for me and it is very affordable.
Love the water fitness classes!
The Fitness Instructor Karen H. Makes the group fitness instruction very fun and worth coming into to work out. If she wasn’t with the Y, we would terminate our membership immediately!

Instructors are fantastic
the best group exercise instructors - friendly staff - clean facility
The Y is very well organized with ample information about events and schedules. It is technically up-to-date, so scheduling is easily done from home. The facilities are clean and fresh looking and the amenities all operational. In addition, the staff is very friendly and helpful.
The Ward Y has used science and sensitivity to provide a safe place to get and stay healthy under the current circumstances. The pool areas and locker rooms are spotless. Kudos to the water aerobics instructors, the lifeguards and other pool staff who have toned up our bodies and lifted our spirits. Special thanks to Lacey who pretty much knows everyone and makes check in quick and efficient with a smile behind that mask that lights up her eyes!
I enjoy the Y, especially the convient times. However, recently the swim times have changed. I do my own water aerobics in the swim lane at 5 am, however, i prefer 6 am, which is no longer available. I can also use the family swim pool at that time, but that is not available either.
Close to home. Clean. Covid safe.
The building is well run with adequate spacing between machines and good, consistent cleaning. The percentage of the building reopened seems adequate considering current concerns. As a senior with limited resources for exercise, I very much appreciate that the facility has remained open. Tom Harris
Welcoming environment, friendliness of all the staff, diversity of members, being part of a family
Associates are friendly and knowledgeable.
The ymca has been great. The classes are outstanding. Everything is cleaned and everyone is distanced. I wish there were more times after work for classes. 5:15 can be early for me to make with work.

Great
