Member Testimonials
I take water aerobics on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The classes give me good aerobics, good resistance practice and good training. I wish the women's locker room had a spinner to spin the excess water from bathing suits.

The workers are great , they help you with the process of sign up and if you have questions about anything they are more than happy to help . I’ve gone there twice after signing and get greeted by name and it makes me feel welcome .
I love this gym and the staff is great.
It's an amazing community atmosphere, folks are supportive everyone is enthusiastic. When you arrive it's immediately apparent you are welcomed and with other folks who are all about family support, Christian values and betterment of your health. There is nothing else better. I look forward to spending time together everyday with my Y family. One of the other factors that doesn't have to be discussed is political values. Folks are more concerned with family values and I greatly appreciate that.
Very receptive and clean A plus
Great facilities
In addition to the many services offered, (something for everyone), I love the people, both employees and patrons. Everyone is very welcoming.
The community and cleanliness
The athletic director and the instructor, Larry, are exceptional. Easy to work with and professional.
The physical plant upgrades.
Mostly go there for the sauna hot tub and pool. They recently been having problems but finally got it back working hopefully for future preferences they have the facilities up and running good.
the staff, the variety of classes and speically the Women on Weights program!
I play pickleball at AT Johnson and Heathesville. Now that you have opened the new covered pool I am taking advantage of I love swimming and am doing laps again after 20 years. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Location, friendly staff.
The weight lifting equipment is good, however many pieces could stand to be updated.
New equipment, clean and friendly staff
The people and the excercing in the water.
The people and training
Friendly staff, well maintained equipment, clean environment.
The pool was warm. As an older person I love to swim but could not get into the colder pools at other gyms.
The folks at the front desk always great you with a smile. The center is always clean and the walking/running track is an added bonus.
The classes and especially the trainers. If I could afford it, I would train several times a week! The HIIT and the Cardio Sculpt are my favorites after personal training.
It would be phenomenal if you would add a hip thrust machine so we can get the most out of the exercise. Also I know our Y is small and there is no room for Pilates machines but adding a class or two weekly of floor pilates with an experienced instructor would also be phenomenal. I would venture to guess it would attract new membership as Pilates seems to be rather expensive.
I have been a member for about a year and my health has improved exponentially allowing me to stop taking medication and no longer fear another stroke event. I treat my fitness care as a prescription and have great respect and gratitude for everyone around me that has contributed to my health journey.
One last comment. Out of simple respect for each other we should speak softly when discussing unsettling current events. I find it offensive to have to listen to the some of the political discourse, mainly among older white males. As a female, I want to feel safe at the YMCA.
The genuine love and care of the Richmond County Y family is immensely uplifting. When things are going good, they celebrate with you and your family. When times get tough, they hold you up, pray for you and support you and your family through it. Amazing folks!❤️🙏❤️
Excellent facilities! I plan on using this Y much more often.

I love how friendly the staff is and everyone asks how your day is going..
