Best Gyms with Outdoor Pools 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.
