I'm a brand new member--joined 15 Jan 2025. Am not the best at remembering names, but the first person I met was at the reception desk (Joy?). She was refreshingly welcoming as she greeted me, told me about the facility and set up my membership. She patiently answered every question I had. She struck me as being a genuinely happy employee who enjoys what she does. A shout out to the management team at Ft Monroe YMCA. Next day, I attended the 0Phone number removed Full Body Workout class. Great instructor (Catherine?) Was also helped by Emily, who resourcefully got me scheduled for my Smart Start appointment. Am looking forward to a long and healthy relationship with the Ft Monroe YMCA team.

The trainers are awesome! The facility and equipment are top notch!!
Friendly staff. Clean premises. Many options for without.
Everything, the layout of the gym, the people are super friendly.
I love the Y, have been at Victory Y for many years. I enjoy aqua aerobics plus other classes as well, even though I’m not able to participate in those classes right now. I like the family atmosphere, everyone is friendly, helpful and welcoming.
Only thing that is missing right now though is the pool equipment ie. the dumbbells/weights. The smaller and medium sized ones need to be thrown out and replaced, a lot of them are missing the foam pieces that hold them apart. We are a lot of seniors that enjoy pool workouts because they’re easier on the joints and would appreciate functional pool workout equipment.
I like the large variety of options throughout the Y. I also appreciate that my children can come with me and gain the benefits of physical activity and community.
The staff warm and welcoming.
I really enjoyed water aerobics and plan to return.
A great place to meet like people.
The gym is accessible in that it is not so crowded the facilities cannot be used.
It is clean and a welcoming place with pleasant folks.
Everyone is super friendly. Facility is extremely clean.
The staff is extremely helpful!
I very much enjoy using the weight room and the swimming pool. I use both several times a week.
The only improvement I would suggest would be to adjust the temperature of the water in the pool up two degrees. I sometimes visit the YMCA in Silver Spring, Maryland, which keeps the temperature of the pool water at 85 degrees; which is perfect and seems to draw a lot of people to use that pool. It really makes an enjoyable swim for laps.
Thanks.
My experience is with Zumba Gold. My instructor is Karen Ward and she is just great. I have been in her class a little over 3 years. I've had some physical setbacks the last year or so and had to slow down, something I don't do well, and she has always given me encouragement and help whenever I need it, which can be frequently at times. I would recommend her class to anyone that needs exercise that you go at your own pace and level of effort.
The staff was very friendly and helpful.
