Member Testimonials
The variety of equipment and classes, and the help from the trainers and staff!!
The swim program is awesome. My 8-yr-old went from not even wanting to get near the water without a life vest on to swimming underwater just over the course of about 6 weeks. It's amazing. My 3-yr-old on the other hand will need to wait until she's a little less "toddlerish". We tried Lvl 1, but she just isn't ready to focus on the class for a whole 30 minutes.
I’m taking swimming lessons and the stafff are very professional and really take time with you.
My so. Has really progressed and become more confident in the water.
My son is really enjoying the swimming lessons & I’m seeing an improvement in his swimming

Convenient hours, good location, climbing wall, fitness classes, weight/workout area
I trust the swim instructors to help keep me safe while learning to swim.
Because Kathy is just the best teacher, she motivates and she's so patient with the participants. Overall the lifeguard lessons and tests at the Y is just the best and it has so much content in it.
The kids have a Ball every time and get so excited to grab a friend and hang out with new friends they keet each time
There are alot of programs for people of all ages
and the staff makes you feel happy to be there. I am a single mother who have become unemployed but the Y has assisted my family in being able to partake in the many things they have to offer. It's my happy place where I have met new people whom are now my friends. My daughters love the activities offered while I'm in class. They especially love the idea we can go to the family pool.

Nice facility. Zumba class on tues mornings is fabulously fun. Overall the Y in Abingdon is a good fit for all fitness levels.
