Clean facility and friendly and professional staff
Great staff and great lifeguards!
The front desk associates and Group Class Instructors are knowledgeable and welcoming
The customer service of the front desk and the instructors were consistently excellent each day we attended for swim lessons. The swim instructors were engaging, fun, and worked around each child’s strengths and areas of growth, while pushing each of them to move a little out of their current comfort zone. It always felt safe and regulated.
We love the ymca! Thank you. A few suggestions. I would love to see it serve the Denbigh (uptown) Newport News area. I will continue to advocate this on my feedbacks :). I have visited several Ys across other states. An outdoor pool would be welcomed! Upgraded rowing machines are needed. Several weight machines have taped up cushions. A dedicated longer walking trail would be welcomed as well, currently it is very small circling the weights and cardio machines. Other locations have dedicated walking trails on a second floor location, overlooking the gym or basketball. It would also be nice to have some later evening hours on the weekend, especially on Sundays.
Friendly knowledgeable staff
Great classes. Great equipment. Friendly people.
It's such a lovely place. I come there with my daughter who has a disability. I am so happy to be able to bring her there, let her swim and take advantage of the accessible shower room. It makes the experience that much easier for us. Thank you.
The kind and knowledgeable staff as well as friendly people you meet. Lots of variety and options to enjoy.
Yoga
The people are very friendly, the classes that I attend make me feel accountable.
I would like to suggest a apparatus for stretching like this one - https://truefitness.com/products/true-stretch-cage/. I used it at another gym and I really liked it.
I get to choose different exercises i want to do.
She had the very best experience! From having so many activities to chose from, they were always busy. The counselors were supportive and fun, she always felt safe and cared for. She was willing to challenge herself and try new things, from breakdancing, to talent shows, and high rope courses. She came back happy and ready to go again next year despite the 100 degree weather!
The people pool encouragement the motivation I receive from watching others
The Instructors are fabulous and are great at communicating with me as a parent. They are so patient with my boys and give them a chance and gracious on corrections.
My son is so happy going to camp every week! He seems to be making friends and he plays so much that he says his feet are tired. Camp is keeping him busy !
