Suffolk Family YMCA

"I come almost everyday! My kids (2 and 4) loves it here, the staff is amazing as well"

"I am not understanding the naysayers here. While I understand the gym being crowded in the afternoons, this is a community YMCA. For those of us here to work out with the equipment I think they have a great range of high quality equipment for being a "smaller" local gym/facility. There are dedicated weight lifting areas, a functional fitness room (it's not open during 24-hr access times though), boxes, TRX & so much more. For those who complain about the kids, you must go earlier like 5am/6am, later in the evening after the crowds go home, or on the weekends. Many people enjoy the group classes here! Heard many great things about the instructors. A few weeks ago I signed up and started one-on-one personal training sessions with one of their amazing trainers, Quinn. He is very professional, knowledgeable and friendly! Not only did he work with my own schedule and availability, but he caters the workouts to my exact needs and goals. He watches my form and challenges me with new and different workouts. I'm already feeling tremendous improvements in my body since I've started, particularly in my lower back, core, arms and leg strength. Mother of 3 boys here so I'm very pleased at how fast I'm building up my strength and core. I feel great!! Thank You Quinn!!"

"I took off 2 stars bcuz of the lack of open equipment after 5pm and the fact that during the summer the place is crawling with unsupervised kids cursing out loud and playing on the workout equipment... I came from the blocker ymca in norfolk which is the best ymca out here so I'm not going to kick their back in ppl are friendly at this ymca my only complaint is the kids during the summertime playing on equipment and cursing"

"We have been going to this location for roughly a year, when we first started going everything was clean, the gym was not over crowded and staff took care of many issues. For the last 6 months thing has progressively gone downhill, have seen groups of teens unsupervised on gym equipment, using half of the equipment as a playground and being charged nearly 100 a month for me and my wife with the only useable times being 5am or 9pm for a normal work schedule. The only honest plus side is the childcare."

"Great gym, weight room is great and overall a clean place. Have tried a few classes and they are nice for everyone. Mondays boxmaster class with Mrs Karen is the best. She’s very welcoming and nice also makes the environment comfortable for everyone. Also the childcare while you workout is nice. All the ladies seem to enjoy watching the kids, it’s not rare to see a child being carried on their hips. If you have a little one with some separation anxiety Tyler is your guy! I’m only in there for 2 min to check my kids in and out but all the kids love him. Only reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 is the pool schedule. There is only a few random hours through out the day where they have lap swim available."
