The staff is amazing and helpful! Facility is always clean and I thoroughly enjoy the variety of fitness classes that they offer!
Its very conveniant and its located 5 minutes away from my home and my job all the staff workers are very friendly
that I'm able to participate in different activities (classes) and that the YMCA offer some thrive class.
I truly appreciate the warm sense of Community that this YMCA embodies. The culture and diversity woven throughout the Southeast Y is uplifting and inspiring—it’s a unique place where everyone feels represented and has a true sense of belonging.
One area of opportunity I’d suggest is to advertise more. There are so many wonderful programs (for example, Parents Night Out—fingers crossed this can become a monthly or even more frequent event!) and impactful initiatives (like the Black Farmers partnership) that really strengthen both the Y and the broader community. It would be great to see even more promotion so more members can take advantage of all the great things happening here.
Thank you for valuing member feedback and continuing to invest in creating such a welcoming and impactful YMCA experience.

I am really glad you offered a tai chi class in the evening so my husband can participate. He didn't want to join the YMCA because classes weren't being offered for working people.
