YMCA of The Shoals 2121 Helton Drive, Florence, AL 35630

"We love the YMCA but I'm extremely disappointed that my son was hit in the face by their malfunctioning door and nothing has been done since it happened in December. They turned it over to insurance and nobody has even bothered to call. No compassion. Unbelievable."

"I really enjoy coming and I think it’s a great place for all ages. The YMCA of the Shoals is a large facility and they have a lot of classes. The pools are nice and I like the fact that they separate the locker rooms by ages. The only thing about the kids locker room is there is no machine to dry the swim suits so I had to take my 5 year old granddaughter into the adult locker room with me and they don’t like that. They have something going on all the time and you can definitely stay busy. When the kids are there it can be loud. They gym is 24/7 and that’s great for the adults. The staff aren’t particularly friendly. They have a lot of younger people working there who will assist you but they don’t go out of there way to be friendly. They do offer scholarships if you need one and you don’t have to have kids."

"This is a great YMCA! No matter your age or fitness level, you will feel accepted, comfortable, and challenged (if that's what you're looking for) at this Y. As a parent, there is no gym in town that compares to the childcare options here and I've never had a single concern about bringing my babies here. They're grown now, but the first thing I did when physically able was check them into Child Watch and take some "self-care" time in one of the classes. The instructors are kind and learn your name and it's never intimidating. We've used their after school care over the years as well. All-around a well-run, thoughtful facility."

"I've been to dozens of YMCAs across the country. I am no longer a member but stop bye Shoals YMCA. Very nice place. Front desk personnel had good attitudes and were helpful. They greeted me with southern hospitality that was very appreciated. The building was clean w/ fresh paint and floors very nice place! I was able to do what I came there to do. To finish it off a nice relaxing time in the steam room. Shoals is fortunate to have such a Facility!"

"My kids and I joined in 2016 and it was the best decision I've made. They have everything all in one place. You can take one of many GREAT exercise classes or workout on your own in the all new updated facility. Run indoor track, swim, enjoy the hot tub, sauna or steam room. They also have basketball courts and extras like Gymnastics or Karate. And I can't forget to mention that they also offer child care while you workout. This place is for the whole family to enjoy!!"
