Member Testimonials
Every time I walk into the Y I feel welcome. The staff are warm, helpful, and friendly. AND the people who, like me, are there to get a bit healthier are awesome. We speak cordially to each other, smile and are polite--something I no longer take for granted yet experience every time I visit. Thank you
Everyone is friendly, good variety of work out options. For the most part can get to machines that you want.
The Ragsdale Y is the best Y. Everyone who works there is so friendly. I have taken classes and now am doing personal training, I enjoy going. It feels like a community. I will drive out of my way to go to that Y versus the one closest to my house.
The instructors are knowledgeable and continuously share with their class participants what to do and not do in order to participate in the classes safely, to get the most benefit out of them and not hurt themselves. So, so many people who attend the Y are friendly and welcoming. It is a great place to work out!
I like the pool
Always a friendly staff member to help us out.
Great staff, friendly and professional.. love the activities and equipment
I enjoy the very wide range of facilities especially the basketball courts, running/walking track and swimming pool that most health clubs don't have. Occasionally I travel and your national network has been helpful to me. I also enjoy the fact that I rarely have to wait for access to the equipment I want to use.
Programs and activities offer health benefits for the body, mind, and the spirit.
Instructor was excellent patient with new comers while keeping class challenging.
Just getting started
Excellent instruction
Took swimming lessons as a beginner and truly appreciate the experience from both of my instructors. They were patient with me in a group setting while maximizing the 30 mins we had together. Got me interested in swimming as a hobby
The Ragsdale Y offers a wide variety of classes with the most amazing instructors!

Love that there are activities for all fitness levels and age groups in a friendly supportive environment.
Using the gym at Ragsdale, managed by Julie, has seriously made a positive impact on my life.
Fitquest- three, 30 minute sessions with Julie to learn how to use the machines properly gave me the confidence to get started. I worked with a personal trainer there for 3 months and the results have been so rewarding. I’m now a strong senior lady.
group activity
Friendly, helpful staff, clean facilities, nice pool, many time slots for water aerobics and swimming, well equipped gym.
Variety of group exercise classes and instructors
Clean and well kept facility. Fitness center is clean and offers a wide variety of equipment for both cardio, resistance and strength training. The gentleman (Alan) at the front desk provided excellent customer service during my visit. Plenty of parking outside and no trash in parking lot like at Bryan YMCA. The pool is heated, clean and most days there is no issue getting a lane for lap swimming. This Y location is excellent. Finally, I like the rules around not allowing open drinks such as Starbucks cups inside the exercise areas. Keep up the good work!
I enjoy the variety of programs offered for members of all ages.
Need a sauna
Love the track above the gym. Just wish Ragsdale YMCA had a steam room like the High Point Y has.

I just took my first BodyPump Heavy class and enjoyed it.
