Member Testimonials
I love the fitness center and the fact that my kids can work out with me.
Great group of people working there. A friendly place, lots of activities, it seems like you try to bring new activities. Pickleball is a great addition and I am enjoying learning to play. Tom is a nice guy with a lot of patience and a hood teacher.
The staff at the front desk are very friendly, helpful and they have a pleasant attitude. But I remember years ago the front desk staff would ALWAYS greet every member when they walked in the door and would say something when we left the building. Sometimes this happens now. I really liked this practice, and it was an important reason why I continued my membership. Just saying Good-Morning, Good-Evening, or have a Great Day was wonderful and it helps members enter or leave the building thinking someone cares and it's not about the MONEY. That being said I do LOVE coming to the "Y" several times a week. The times are convenient, and the programs are great. I like having the text notifications when something is changing/cancelled.
The Ward Y in Abingdon is a very family-friendly location. The staff are very welcoming & helpful. The exercise classes are amazing! I love taking my children to workout with me because they get to better their health right along side of me.
To Everyone at the Walter Ward Y in Abingdon,
I am grateful you are in my life. My dearly departed mother would note the same.
Without judgement all of you volunteer your "Friendship" to diverse cultures with a smile. Which is truly the real meaning of the expression.

The numerous exercise equipment, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and safe environment to work out with my family. The workout classes have also made a difference and they have several options to attend throughout the week.
