Member Testimonials

Everyone is nice and the classes are amazing for my weight loss journey. Its a lot of support there, this make a difference.

I appreciate the hours you’re open. I typically stick to the wellness floor so I can’t share much about programs or activities.

I absolutely LOVE the Turn Up Dance Fitness class that Haile teaches on Mondays at 12. Please give her more classes! The room is always completely full. She's a fantastic teacher.

Sauna/ steam room

I like that the Y is clean, a place to meet people and the helpful staff. I have hired a personal trainer that listens to me and meets me at my level but challenges me

There is always a chance to fellowship.

Inclusive

Multiple areas for strength training that supports many modalities.

Gym, sauna’s (although a infared would be really nice), and the clean towels.

We love the kid classes that are offered, especially the dance classes for my four year old! She loves Mrs. Nikki! It’s so great that she gets to participate in a “workout class” like her mom - she’s so excited to go to the Y! I love the great work out Afterburn provides, the encouraging instructors, and how each class is different!

wide choice of various levels of classes with excellent instructors.

The exercise classes for our age group (seniors) are excellent, mainly because of the class instructors on M-W-F.

BUT--need to fix and maintain the elevators in working condition. Old knees and stairs don't always mix too well.

Something for everybody. Excellent facilities. Plenty of hours.

Individual that taught me how to use the weight machines was very helpful and nice.

Swimming lessons with Joann

Sometimes the weight room is very busy. I often have to wait on these machines during the busiest times: It might be helpful to add another crunch machine for your abs. It also might be helpful to add another push down machine for the shoulders. Both of these machines are around the corner in the weight room.
Also, the three lavatories in the men's locker room near the front entrance are cold water only. It would be helpful to convert those to warm/hot water especially in the winter.
Otherwise y'all do a great job!!

the downtown and only the Chattanooga downtown YMCA is one of the nicest y's in the country as far as the 4 states I've lived in and the bigger cities have several YMCA's. The others in town leave a lot to be desired. We need an outdoor lap pool

Very talented class instructors!

I appreciate the YMCA for its numerous rooms and equipment available for various exercises. However, what I value most is the presence of a baby watch room, which allows adults to work out while their children are cared for. Many fitness facilities lack such childcare services, making it challenging for parents to find someone to look after their kids. Therefore, I am truly grateful to the YMCA for providing this essential service.

There are so many great teachers and classes. I love the many choices and different levels.
