Best Gyms with Family Locker Room near Chesapeake, Virginia

This place allows for racism and they didn’t take me seriously on the old staff member who made clearly loud racial remarks, coordinator pretending to write about my concerns on a post it note. YMCA is supposed to be family friendly, but they allow for this behavior that I bring my kids to. Here they go today again, around me. Second photo is my report a few months ago with specific time bc I know they have cameras in the wellness center. But I had to post this today because they didn’t take my report seriously.

This YMCA has the worst customer service EVER! From the managers to the stay and play staff. You can’t possibly expect someone to trust these people with their children. Just horrible all around. I waited over 30 minutes to talk to a manager and still left with my concerns unheard while the front desk staff treated me like I was trash. After years, I think I’ll be cutting ties with the YMCA.

The Greenbrier Family YMCA is one of my favorite places to work out! It's affordable, which is a win because I feel like many gyms charge ridiculous prices these days. But here, you get so much for what you pay! They have tons of classes at a variety of times. My go-to's are kettlebells and Tabata--they're such killer workouts but in the best way. One of the things I love most is that the instructors actually do the workouts with you, which is so motivating. Plus, they're super helpful if you need modifications--they just want you to feel good and do your best. And even though this is one of the smaller YMCAs, the vibe is always friendly and welcoming. Just a heads-up, though--weekend classes can get pretty packed, so I recommend showing up early if you want to grab a good spot! I look forward to my workouts here, and it's such a great community. Whether you're a total fitness newbie or a gym rat, there's something here for everyone.

The outdoor pool area needs work! Grass growing in cement cracks, leaves and gum balls all over concrete and the pool has leaves in it. The splash is dirty. I've been to several outdoor pools at other ymcas and this is the most unkept.

Usually hit or miss. Swim lanes are dicey at best, facility sometimes has cardio equipment and weights available. Now the best not the worst.

Today I brought my two toddlers, one of whom has special needs. The staff were very friendly and approachable. My family and I felt accommodated and both kids enjoyed themselves. The children in the stay and play were kind, the space was clean and the staff presented like they were closely knit.

A nice oasis of calm compared to a typical YMCA -- unless to sign up for the very popular Regymen classes.

I initially submitted a consultation form for my daughter on Oct 2nd, with the understanding from the front desk person that a personal trainer/manager would pick up the request that day upon arrival. With no response, I inquired again on Oct 6th mid-morning only to be notified that the original consultation form was picked up that day by the same front desk person, and that I should be contacted later that day. No response. I went back on Oct 9th during the afternoon and spoke with what I felt like was a manager, who told me that she would reach out to the personal trainers and have someone contact me. I received an email from Cody on Oct 10th around 7pm, and responded on Oct 11th around 0900 requesting to speak and reiterate what I was seeking for my daughter. I just received a response today Oct 16th, (5) days after my earlier response providing a little more detail, and still asking if I wanted to discuss more about the consultation. I just responded appropriately, and requesting that we speak today to address my request and dissapointment of services being provided. It has been almost 3 weeks since I first submitted the consultation form on behalf of my daughter. Very unhappy with the services, especially being a long-standing member of the YMCA. My hope is that the YMCA management will take notice of the level of service being provided to their patrons, and work to provide better customer services.

I really like this Y because it has a private feel to it. However, Friday evening hours would be super awesome because Friday night exercise is great after work:)

Super place for personal goes physical and mental, very clean, awesome staff you can't go wrong. No fault to the facility but you have one gym rat that slings sweat on you without waiting for you to finish your set.
