The communication with staff
Family Pool is great, clean, and not crowded. Staff is very helpful. Locker rooms very clean.
The Ward Y in Abingdon is well run and staffed. With few exceptions, the gym equipment always works and is continually being updated with newer equipment. New classes are constantly offered and although I do not use it, the pool seems well maintained and staffed. I have been very satisfied with my membership over the years. Tom Harris

How helpful everyone is and the pool
I was ae to tour before I signed up. I didn't feel pressured like I had to join now. Staff assisted me and was able to guide me through the questions that I had. Awesome people at the front desk. All around great experience!
How up to date and clean the facility is
Convenient location. Friendly staff. Cleanliness of the facility.
I previously posted the things I liked about the Abingdon YMCA, but would also like to inform you of what I don't like, also necessary for you to know.
I began using the Y Abingdon because I am a swimmer. I love the temperature of the family pool because it is not freezing, like the lap pool, which I would use otherwise. Other swimmers have expressed the same thoughts to me in the changing room though they use the lap pool anyway. I travel and use other YMCA lap pools in other states and find that they are all 86 degrees so I'm not sure why Abingdon's is so cold, especially when they seem to be better endowed. This is a drawback for me as I simply can't tolerate the lap pool and cannot improve as I would like.
I enjoy the gym and the staff is great.
The Ward Y is a much nicer YMCA than most, with safety precautions that other Ys don't have. It's a step above many other YMCAs.
I also enjoy the family pool and use it regularly because of the comfortable temperature.
The friends and employees that work there.
The Y is a good place to workout. My only issue is that the ladies locker room and bathroom can be a little cleaner in the evening.
It's a friendly and affordable place.
Love the classes! It would be more beneficial to me if they were Schiaparelli little later. Currently like classes I take are at 5:15, but after talking with several people in the classes, a 5:30 or 5:45 start would be better.
Fantastic spot for lap swim and a great gym. Friendly staff and the child care is excellent!
