The equipment in the gym
Great place, great staff all around…facilities are 8 out of 10. Need to be more consistent with cleaning steam room and need to fix shower in men’s shower..it’s been broken for 3 months….it needs attention…
Will continue to recommend as a great community resource for families, teens, seniors, etc.

The YMCA is old school ethics and faith that represents everyone as an equal. A very good example for both the young and older.
Love the YMCA and all it has to offer, especially during the long winter months! Extending the weekday hours by even 30 minutes would be very helpful especially to working parents. Prior to Covid, the hours of open were longer so it would be great to get back to that.
They provide a welcoming area for pickleball and the children laughing and playing in the sports court areas make me happy 😊
The staff in the school aged childcare is fantastic.
I like everything about the Hal Welsh ymca
This Y is convenient to shops and restaurants. The only reason I didn’t give it a 10 is because I can rarely swim there without sharing a lane. Even in off hours there are many folks. The locker room, fitness classes, and facilities in general are awesome.
Good Morning, The "most appricated" thing about the Fayetteville YMCA, other than the excellent equipment and swimming facilities is, the facilities are "CLEAN". That is the most important thing in these times. Michael Robinson
Mostly aquatics and therapy pool, but also cardio and weight machines, pickleball, and the cleanliness. I also appreciate the diversity in race, age and gender.
Facility is clean and neat. Staff is pleasant and helpful.
Cleanliness, friendly staff, convenience & activities
I have been active in the YMCA since I was 9 years old (I am now 75), swim lessons, recreational gym & swim, gymnastics; I was a Junior Leader and recipient of the 1964 Outstanding Jr. Leader Award, McKinley YMCA, Champaign, IL. I traveled Europe with a YMCA group that same summer, visiting YMCA's in Holland and Germany and making friends with other teens involved in the Y. Whenever there has been a Y to join, I have been a member. I am grateful for the swim instruction I received as a child because that has been my go-to exercise over a lifetime. The Y was a place I felt valued and found community as a child and teen as well as continuing to be a place where I make efforts to maintain my heath and where I continue to find friendship and comrauderie. Thank you YMCA for the differece you made in my life. As a post-script, you are also making a difference in the life of my special needs son, Joshua Nowlin, who finds acceptance, friendship and a place to enjoy exercising. He was even invited to play a pick-up game of basketball once :-). That makes my mother's heart sing.
The cleanliness and friendly staff
Friendly environment
I love the machines and exercise programs.
The variety of workout classes and all the teachers are good. It is clean. Workout room has lots of equipment. Front desk people have greatly improved their friendliness since covid. All around it really is a great place.
Large enough to offer many exercise options; good condition and clean; staff helpful.
