In my opinion, the Great Bridge YMCA is the best in the area. A membership is undoubtedly expensive, but it does get a little cheaper for big families, low-income earners, etc. They have an outdoor and indoor pool, both with lap lanes and slides. The outside pool has a huge kids' play area as well. The I-Zone is great for childcare, including rock climbing, four square, and a variety of video games. Up front is another play area for kids under 10 that looks really fun. And can't forget the gym, of course. Always a bunch of open cardio machines, but the weights area gets crowded sometimes. Lots of little stuff too: basketball court, coffee and tea machines, nursing area, nice locker rooms, sauna, dance classes. Overall great value if you or your family can take advantage of all the services they offer.

Staff is most helpful, very friendly, if you do have a difficulty (could not find my lock key) they are right there to help and get the situation under controle. I like the Gentle water exercise, help keep me going. I go 3 to 5 time each week. Love the clean locker and shower areas. So very nice.

They changed the squat machine to a squat and deadlift machine and it takes twice as long to get on it, other than that it's pretty dope

I've been going to the ymca for about 6 years3 different locations In ChesapeakePrincess Ann, Greenbrier Parkway,And this one , people have no respect for others and you can see that the min u walk in .Be careful from employees they will look up ur info and use it for personal issuesRacist management and some employeeNot allI've know many guys that quite from there for the treatmentI have a family member 13 years old girl kicked out the pool for wearing tights to the pool cuz she's little shyA guy threaten my wife and I complained but nothing happens cuz the guy was white and maybe a police officerSo after all ymca is a place for family away from any race conflict and they need to make sure employees know that too.For me I advice everyone to go to a different location and see the true friendly family environment at the ymcaDON'T GO TO THE HICKORY YMCA UNLESS YOU WANT TO SEE SOME LOW LEVEL TREATMENT.
