The Senior Programs and water activities.
Enjoy the gym.
Youth programs are great! Hours for the YMCA are very convenient. Neat and clean facilities. Staff is friendly.
I love the fitness area , the pool and the classes. Everyone always greets you with a smile , and after a while it just feels like family. Marcy is amazing .. she’s motivational , kind and I’ve never seen her in a bad mood. Her classes helped me get into a routine after I finally decided to focus on my weight loss goals. Melandie is high energy and makes sure you get a workout every time. Antonio, will motivate you whether or not he’s still your personal trainer and will push you to meet your goals .. whether it’s by telling you to run a mile smack dab at the end of your workout , or if it’s sending you a motivational speech to start your day. The front desk attendants greet you with a smile as soon as you walk in. All of these people I named plus countless others who we encounter every day are who make Hayes-Taylor what it is. A place to call home, a place to go for smiles , motivation, a push start into your journey and life long friends. Even though I don’t attend classes as much, the fitness area sees me often and I’m still so happy to call it my home gym!
Enjoy the pool. Always clean and available.
FAMILY FRIENDLY!

Water aerobics are great. Staff is very helpful
We absolutely love the instructors and my son absolutely loves being here. The Aquatics director Arianna is fantastic and was able to help us get a scholarship when we had to sign up for privates. The only thing I Hate is that the water temp is up and down. There have been some issues with the water heater and while they fixed it classes were canceled for the comfort of the kids which I appreciated. It's since been fixed but it's still not like warm but my kid doesn't care he just loves being there
Youth Sports and weight lifting
Keeping the facility clean and plenty of parking space.
I love that childcare is open again. I also like the breath of programs for all ages including the Achievers and Bible Study. Hoping we can bring back the annual walk- such an wonderful event for so many!
I like location, lots of space and equipment. Very clean
Variety
My sister and I make use of the pool for our own water aerobics program.
The atmosphere at Hayes-Taylor is very friendly. Please are pleasant and greet you with kindness. The spin classes are awesome along with stretch classes and bootcamp. I like that the atmosphere is great for all ages.
Nice facility and wonderful staff!
Great variety but I do wish there were more family-oriented activities to include all ages (including children). I also wish child-care was open more hours.
The ability to connect with others that have the same fitness goals and interests.
Variety of activities
I love that Achievers exposes my child to a wide group of his peers and that they get to experience events outside of their immediate peer/friend group together like the state fair, Carrowinds, college tours, etc. It gives them a different perspective and experience and helps them navigate conversations etc. outside of their comfort/friend zone, which is an important part of growing up and becoming an adult. I also like exposure to college students that come and spend time with those in the program as well as other off campus events that show these teenagers that there is more beyond where they are now, and that, yes, they too can get there.
Mrs. Lyn was awesome. This was my sons second swim class he signed up for, the first time was at a different location. My son learned more in his first session with Mrs Lyn than he learned the entire class at the other location. She made the kids comfortable immediately and was encouraging each and ever session. She corrected the kids if they weren’t doing something correctly but she was always very reassuring and positive. (Unlike our previous experience at the other location). We have signed up for another session and hope to get Mrs Lyn again!
5am crew!
Lots of good energy and fellowship.
Our YMCA is just what our area needs. I would love to see more programming and a greater campaign to bring in new customers but it's a great location, I love the YMCA community and it definitely has the family feel. The instructors are amazing and it's a great place to be!
Line dance class on Mnday evenings
I enjoy the group exercise classes!
The swimming lessons were very informative and fun. Instructor was very helpful
