Very nice YMCA and easily within my top five (I have visited over 40) favorite YMCAs. Very nice staff and made checking in this out of state guest very easy. One of the staff, Dave, spent some time with us telling all about the YMCA and there wonderful programs, thank you Dave! Great pool area with nice sauna as well. The indoor track upstairs is awesome and one of the best surfaces I have seen for walking, jogging and/or running. Mens locker room in nice shape and very nice facilities. Plenty of updated and modern cardiovascular machines and the weight machines are awesome. Members and frequent guests can enroll in a program that will track their machine settings, weight, and repetitions so on subsequent visits, information is displayed to user. WOW! Very nice free weights as well and very spacious YMCA. Only item I missing from this Y could be a steam room, but is that really needed in the south. Very impressive YMCA and awesome staff!

Shame on you YMCA! The lifeguard on duty was nice enough to tell me and my daughter that we have to wear shirts over our bathing suits or full piece swimwear. They were not inappropriate in any way. Just two pieces. Please explain to me why percisiely ZERO men are asked to wear one piece swimsuit? Please explain to me why my belly button is offensive, but my husband and sons are not? STOP SHAMING WOMEN FOR HAVING BODYS THAT GOD GAVE US. YOU ARE THE PROBLEM.

My kids and I joined in 2016 and it was the best decision Ive made. They have everything all in one place. You can take one of many GREAT exercise classes or workout on your own in the all new updated facility. Run indoor track, swim, enjoy the hot tub, sauna or steam room. They also have basketball courts and extras like Gymnastics or Karate. And I cant forget to mention that they also offer child care while you workout. This place is for the whole family to enjoy!!

I swim here 6 nights a week. Social distancing has been good for the most part. However tonight some lady got in my lane. Not to swim but to run in place. Something that can be done in the leisure pool. Potentially exposing me to the coronavirus. You can bet this is a major issue. I now suggest not coming here as the staff apparently does not comprehend swim lanes are for swimming and cannot measure a minimum of 6 feet.

I’ve worked out here my whole life but i just drug my matt over to a corner in a mainly empty gym and one of the trainers brought her trainee literally right behind me to do dead lifts. not even a foot away. great social distancing. felt so uncomfortable i moved away from them even tho i had been there before them.

Ive been using the YMCA weight room for about 10 years now and I couldnt be happier with the facility. They do a good job keeping it nice and clean. The staff are very helpful if I have any questions about anything. I am also very pleased with the rate that they offer the seniors.

I have been going here for a long time now. My wife says thats where she knows to find me if Im not home. Theyve got everything you need and the rates are good. Mostly Ill just go to work out on my own and it is a great place for families.

Why do I go to the YMCA of the Shoals? Simple. They have so many activities for my children, even the ones that may not attend their day care. And while that is happening, I am able to go to exercise classes. With that being said, I love how there are so many different options for those classes.

Great place to go to for fitness! You can drop off your kids at their daycare for a few hours while you work out. They have several group fitness classes such as Zumba and Ai Chi. They have two pools including a lap pool and a basketball gymnasium. You need a membership to access the facility, but for what you get with it, its awesome.

I have been a member here for three years because this place had everything. Plenty of weights and cardio machines, love the variety. A good variety of activities as well and something I will probably get into more because I get bored easily.

The hours are terrible on the weekends and when yiu cancel your membership you have to give a 30 day notice which is fine but after that everytime you come in and trt to scan your card it announces access denied and they tell you you have to get a temporary paper membership card and give it to them to verify every time you come in which is harassment .plus they are always over crowded and some of the key equipment stays broken more than not .I would suggest looking at some if the newer gyms in the area first .
