Member Testimonials
The fitness instructors are dedicated and caring. I'm also pleased the y is doing so much for the community.
Friendly atmosphere and a wide range of classes. Something for everyone.
My wife and I have been going to the Y almost every day for the last few months, and have found it to be a pleasant experience, and it has enabled us to get the exercise we need.
Peggy has been water-walking and exercising in the family pool and it has helped to eliminate pain in her knees, and strengthen her generally.
I have been using the weight machines and the recumbent bicycles, and it has helped me considerably.
Clean, friend place to workout with excellent equipment. They also give back to community.
Friendly Y staff and that there is usually enough equipment so not to have to stall the workout waiting for the equipment. And the free WiFi accessibility.
Masters swim is great program Lexy does always has a fun and challenging workout. The lifeguards keep a clean and orderly pool and great attitudes even at 0500 in the morning. Desk reception people in morning Gary and sometimes Tom are very friendly and engaging all the time even at 0500 in the morning. MIke does a great job cleaning all the workout equipment every morning. Great and clean facility with plenty of up to date equipment to use.

Best life guards ever M,W,F 5:00 am shift
Friendly staff.
One request though, could you please increase the water temperature of the children's pool?
Facility is very good. Staff at the desk very pleasant and welcoming. Varieties of program is appealing.
The membership price for the senior citizens could be less. $50.00 per month is little steep in limited income. But the way it is and satisfied.
Clean, not too crowded, friendly ,variety
Great
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

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!
Friendships made. Friendly staff. Awesome programs.
