water aerobics class, sauna and steam room
The YMCA is old school ethics and faith that represents everyone as an equal. A very good example for both the young and older.
Love the YMCA and all it has to offer, especially during the long winter months! Extending the weekday hours by even 30 minutes would be very helpful especially to working parents. Prior to Covid, the hours of open were longer so it would be great to get back to that.
They provide a welcoming area for pickleball and the children laughing and playing in the sports court areas make me happy 😊
The staff in the school aged childcare is fantastic.
I like everything about the Hal Welsh ymca
This Y is convenient to shops and restaurants. The only reason I didn’t give it a 10 is because I can rarely swim there without sharing a lane. Even in off hours there are many folks. The locker room, fitness classes, and facilities in general are awesome.
Good Morning, The "most appricated" thing about the Fayetteville YMCA, other than the excellent equipment and swimming facilities is, the facilities are "CLEAN". That is the most important thing in these times. Michael Robinson
Mostly aquatics and therapy pool, but also cardio and weight machines, pickleball, and the cleanliness. I also appreciate the diversity in race, age and gender.
Facility is clean and neat. Staff is pleasant and helpful.
Cleanliness, friendly staff, convenience & activities
I have been active in the YMCA since I was 9 years old (I am now 75), swim lessons, recreational gym & swim, gymnastics; I was a Junior Leader and recipient of the 1964 Outstanding Jr. Leader Award, McKinley YMCA, Champaign, IL. I traveled Europe with a YMCA group that same summer, visiting YMCA's in Holland and Germany and making friends with other teens involved in the Y. Whenever there has been a Y to join, I have been a member. I am grateful for the swim instruction I received as a child because that has been my go-to exercise over a lifetime. The Y was a place I felt valued and found community as a child and teen as well as continuing to be a place where I make efforts to maintain my heath and where I continue to find friendship and comrauderie. Thank you YMCA for the differece you made in my life. As a post-script, you are also making a difference in the life of my special needs son, Joshua Nowlin, who finds acceptance, friendship and a place to enjoy exercising. He was even invited to play a pick-up game of basketball once :-). That makes my mother's heart sing.

My husband and I frequently come to the Hal Welsh YMCA. My husband lives the hot tub and the steam rooms. I like swimmi g lsps and sometimes I relax in the therapy pool. The warmth ofcthe pool help me to stretch and exercise my body. I enjoy the happy faces and the salutstions that we all share. It is fun msking friends and seeing old friends too.

The people there are amazing— both the people who work there and the people who go there. I especially like the art programs. After the lockdown I noticed how much I had been missing the social connections I had made there
The facility is amazing and all the activities offered just fantastic!
