"Ms Sandra was working at the desk when we arrived to check out the facility. She was so accommodating in her willingness to show us the facility even in the walking cast she had on. Immediately her pride in this YMCA was apparent to us as she greeted members and staff, introducing us to all. We felt a strong sense of community pride coming from Ms Sandra which gave us a feeling of; we belong here. So we joined and are now part of this exclusive Y community."

"HORRIBLE. I paid $150 for a membership. First day here and honestly the last. I wanted to drop my 3 year old daughter to the daycare. When we walked in the caregiver didn’t even acknowledge us. No smile nothing. I changed my daughters diaper and then just when I was about to leave another girl who is in there walks up to my daughter and tells my daughter to put her shoes on. She shoved my daughters shoes in her hands and threatens her to put them on as if she was going to do something to her. My daughter starts crying. The girl proceeds to pick up toys off the ground and starts aggressively throwing them in a box. Toys are flying everywhere and could’ve hit someone in the eye. She then starts talking beneath her breath. Turns out she’s not even suppose to be in there her mom works as a life guard at this facility. Why would she be allowed to be in the daycare room around other kids who are 3xs smaller than her? And who is she to talk to my daughter like that? What makes it worse is the caregiver has a smirk on her face! And takes no action to have the teenage girl leave. I would NEVER EVER TRUST TO LEAVE MY CHILD IN THERE EVER!!! If they did that in front of me. There’s no telling what they would do if I wasn’t. Im worried for the safety of other kids as well. I didn’t even get to work out I left immediately! I pay too much to have to deal with this!! I will also be reporting this issue to corporate."

"I love this YMCA. I’ve been to different YMCAs in Charlotte but none compare to this one. I will say I was skeptical because of what I heard about the area but it is truly a hidden gem. The childcare staff is AMAZING, I had issues with some of the other YMCAS and to finally find good childcare has been so relieving so I can finally work out while my child is in great hands!! The staff is really nice and welcoming. I like how the gym isn’t crowded, yes it is a smaller gym but it’s perfect if you don’t like large crowds. I’m glad to have finally found the perfect Y for my family and I!!!!"

"Overall a good facility, the workout spaces are kinda tight in the gym when walking past someone to get to other equipment. Staff was nice and in my opinion the lockers aren't big enough as far as width. It's a good atmosphere to workout and exercise."
