Are yall ever going to get the steam sauna fixed? That's the only reason I drive 25 minutes to this location and it's been out of order for awhile now. Very disappointing. And there is no light in the dry Sauna.

Helpful, informative and welcoming attitude of front desk personnel and the one course instructor that I dealt with. Availability of free parking across the street from the facility.

I love this place, it's small but has all the equipment I need even for lifting. Staff are super nice and friendly, I'd never go to another commercial gym after this one

Discriminated against employee with disability and failed to recognize it and forced them to resign. Terrible organization and not a non profit. Currently still has RACIST POSTERS in the hallways of the upstairs floors that are never addressed.

This is one of the best and most inclusive gyms in Richmond. The Body pump class is changing my life and I love the energy that the instructors bring.

The yoga instructors are stellar, and very committed to their students’ development. I tell all my friends interested in beginning or developing a yoga practice to try the Y!

The staff is super pleasant and I loved the yoga class that was run by the Fitness Director. I also took advantage of the steam room and sauna and for $10 for the day, I really did get my money worth.

It’s definitely a smaller YMCA, but they make excellent use of the space afforded to them. They have several benches and a couple of squat racks. The bench racks are technically adjustable, but are the kind where there are only two or three settings so if you’re in that awkward height zone where you need to be in between two of the settings, they don’t work for you. I utilized on of the squat racks for this.Otherwise, The dumbbell selection is good and there’s a great cable pulley system. This YMCA also has your basics - chest press, leg press, etc.
