Clarksville Area YMCA

I have been a member for 9 years. I have made lots of friends over the years. Great place to work out with a large variety of classes for all levels. The pool and water amenities are wonderful with saunas as an added bonus!!

My family and I have been Y members about 18yrs. Many of the Clarksville YMCA members have complained numerous times about the maintenance of the hot tub for many years. I was wondering if the manager who is responsible for the maintenance of the tub genuinely cares to fix it. Even after the recent renovation within the past year or two, the problem still continues, causing the inconvenience to its members to persist.The issues are as follows:- The tub is closed too frequently for several hours, nearly every other day (no exaggeration) without a prior notice.- Among all the Middle Tennessee YMCA’s I frequently attend, the Clarksville YMCA is the most chlorinated, causing heavy irritation to the eyes and skin. I don’t know what guidelines they follow, but the chemical levels always seem to be inconsistent. (Attached pictures show the high levels of chemicals on a typical day, comparable to a detergent wash. The chlorine levels correlate with the abundance of bubbles.) The chemical levels should be open knowledge to the members through a public notice, updated daily, near the hot tub. The YMCA members should be aware if the chemicals levels are potentially a health hazard.I was wondering if the maintenance could be done outside of operating hours so I asked one of the staff members working on the chemical levels. I was told that they could not work on the hot tub chemicals outside of operating hours because lifeguards must be present and there are no lifeguards present when closed.Anyhow, I hope that this is noticed by the Middle Tennessee YMCA management team and gets resolved.

Recovering from breast cancer would have been so, so much harder without the ABC program! Tammy helped us become an upbeat, supportive community. The Y staff is so friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere is very welcoming. It doesn't feel like a typical gym.

People will complain about anything. It's a gym with tons to offer. Plenty of weights, a nice pool, all sorts of extracurricular classes, and lots of cardio equipment. It's more than fairly priced. The staff is nice. The instructors for the classes are great!I highly recommend this YMCA.

I love that you have workout/gym equipment. Also everyone is very friendly. I do love aqua h2o and arthritis h2o as a stage iv breast cancer patient it really helps. I enjoy the instructors that are so much fun and so nice. You feel included even as a first timer everyone has been so nice. I love coming to the y

My favorite thing is that there is childcare for my infant and toddler and they change diapers and feed bottles, which my last gym would not do. I have never showed up and been denied a spot for my kids because they were at capacity (also an issue at the other gym in town). I love that the Clarksville Y participates in the Military Outreach Initiative, which allows me to have a family gym membership free of charge while my active duty spouse is deployed. I was pleased with baby swim lessons - just as good as the Y lessons we had been to in another state. The spin room is awkwardly small and narrow but the classes and instructors have been great. I also have enjoyed Body Combat and Piyo, and they have a functional fitness room which is kind of hidden but nice once you find it.

I love going here. The staff is super friendly and very knowledgeable. The place is always clean and the equipment is up to date and always in working order.The pools are an extra added bonus. Love the therapy pool. So relaxing after a workout.They have a steam room , sauna and Jacuzzi. A sitting are to relax in with complementary coffee, tea & bagels in the am.Great place for children also.

Tried to go for a simple day pass. First I had to go back to the car for ID. Then, it turned into a full application. I ended up walking out.

Need to upgrade alot members have left.iThe gym has been taking over by crossfit and built a wall in the middle of the gym. Clearly they dont care about the gym. Its smaller then the hopkinsville ky ymca and Springfield ymca.. And Clarksville tn is a bigger city then both those places.. Very sad 😔 …

Worst experience I have ever had at a YMCA. Staff treated us like we were dirt. They either yelled at my young nieces or completely ignored us when all we wanted was for them to do their job. Upon insisting on a refund, was told one thing that was completely untrue and have still not received a refund. Coporate office was just as bad. They have no respect for their members and are so far from what the company was built upon. Very sad. Will never go to a YMCA again and would recommend you save your self time and headache and go elsewhere as well.
