This is an excellent facility. They have hired some amazing people in both the pool area and the exercise area. I particularly like the water exercise with Dee.

I've been a loyal member for years and encouraged plenty of friends and family to joined but the limited service hours is starting to erode my love for the Y along with the limited services (steam room cuts off 45 mins before closing) and limited classes while the membership cost have increased.

I love this place. I live in Florida and visit 3 or 4 times a year forv5 days to 2 weeks. I consider the downtown Y my home base.The staff is friendly and helpful. For those of you who want a bigger pool, MAKE A CONTRIBUTION. The Y is a not for profit organization. It is dependent on corporate, community and individual contributions.I have had to wait for a lane but seldom more than a few minutes.They have handled Covid as well as any organization. Of all the suggestions and complaints I see listed here, my one suggestion in get involved. Get involved. I travel a bit and use Y's in Philadelphia, Massachusetts and Florida. The Asheville serves the community as well as any of the others.Very well run and professional and friendly staff.

The staff is always friendly and helpful. The dressing rooms are modern and comfortable. I love the hot tub at the YMCA in Black Mnt. Its always a pleasure going to the gym.

Update- changed from 1 star to 5 star. After having a terrible experience with two staff members harassing my fiancé, the management was extremely understanding and helpful. Within two days the policy was clarified and updated to more appropriately meet member needs and societal norms. Very satisfied with the immediate and helpful response.Original Post- Dress code is subjective and honestly discriminatory. If you’re a guy you can wear basically whatever you want, take your shirt off, have spaghetti straps, anything goes. But for girls the two older ladies working the desk have very subjective policies. They will randomly tell you you are not allowed in the gym unless you change, While letting other girls wearing the same outfit walk right in… The policy states that the dress code is up to the discretion of the employees, but their discretion varies from day to day. They should have a strictly defined dress code at least.
