Clean. Easy going staff. .
the Y is a great place, but since you are asking, here are my observations:
1. Please return the plate holders to the Hammer machines on the second floor!!! It is really inefficient to have to walk all over to get plates, especially for the machines that are far away from the two plate racks. Also, we really need a third weight rack in the upstairs area; 2 plate racks is just not enough to service the many Hammer machines upstairs.
Since the removal of the weight holders from the various Hammer machines, the plates become concentrated on a few of the machines such as the Smith Rack or the seated trap. Also the two plate racks are filled right the the edge of the bars where it is really easy for the plate to slip off and on to one's toes.
Overall, the situation with the plates in the upstairs area is really unworkable!!
2. Someone needs to make a conscious effort to organize the placement of the weight machines in both the upstairs and downstairs weight rooms. One must actually use the machine and observe how they parts swing and move around the neighboring machines. Here are some examples:
a. Downstairs: The chest/back machine is too close to the dip / pullup machine such that when a person is swinging out the chest bars, one cannot access the weight selection key for the dip machine. Just inches away from getting hit...
b. Downstairs: the squat racks are too close together such that one cannot put weights on the bars while a person is using the squat rack next door.
c. Upstairs: the leg extension and leg curl machines are in awkward positions.
d. Upstairs: The repositioning of the cable machine is not good as one often must stand directly in the walkway when using the machine.
e. Use of the Hammer Bench Press machine conflicts with people coming up the stairway and rounding the corner.
Clean, friendly staff. Are greeted warmly.
Taking boxing classes with Omar. Omar is a very knowledgeable coach. Excellent approach to learning. I’m learning a lot from him.
I find the sense of community is strong, the classes I attend are enjoyable, rewarding and led by skilled teachers. The facilities are mostly well kept and in good shape.
Excellent fitness instructors

I like the various activities that are available for all ages .
They have a wonderful assortment of classes for all ages as well as lots of exercise equipment. You can also feel confident that your young child is well cared for while you treat your body & mind.
The variety of classes. The virtual classes when they are working.
We belonged here from 2004 until we moved overseas in 2020….and we are now back in the area and have joined again. We love the warmth and friendliness of the staff as we enter the building, the equipment, cleanliness and the abundance of programs available to us. There is a real sense of community with this particular Y and we are very happy to be members once again!
Natalie Cowburn was a wonderful instructor
It’s nearby and the facility has the equipment that I want to use. However, I wish it had an indoor track.
I have been a Y member for many years and always attend the Fayetteville branch. The personnel are extremely friendly and helpful. They go out of their way to assist the members in all the facets of the Y.
It is a pleasure to come here.

My family just started coming to this YMCA, but it's very welcoming.
As my kid is disabled and we are really only there for the swimming, it would be nice to be able to get a yellow braclet right at the desk.
Also, wish the slide was open additional hours.
Clean neat convenient
