    I wanna start this off by saying that Charlene on the phone was very nice and courteous. When I arrived to get a guest pass, the woman at the front was incredibly rude and didn’t give a tour of the facility. When asked what the hours are, all she did was point to a piece of paper. She was very short with me when I asked questions. Not many workout options in terms of equipment and machines compared to other gyms, and to top it off an individual membership is $90 a month!

    I visited this neighborhood Y to ask about exercise options, fees and membership options for seniors and govt retirees. The people at the front desk were dismissive, almost non responsive and rude, especially when my inquiries about senior discounts were met with snotty replies. These snotball punks should not be employed by anyone. I'll check out Holds Gym or dome other gym.

    Great YMCA! They were very accommodating for National members. Did a day pass and was given a nice tour. Extremely friendly staff and super clean facilities with great amenities.

    Way too overpriced for what's offered. Bad experience with the front desk person when I just went in to look around.

    This is a great gym. I go regularly. It’s very clean, and everyone has a positive attitude. The locker room and showers are clean. The equipment is great. I like that they have two quality spinning bikes in the gym in addition to the spinning room for group classes

    The hours are great for a YMCA and the place is clean. Machines are fairly new. It’s great there’s an indoor pool, I wish there were more lanes available though. Only 2 lanes available for much of the day and occasionally only one. The sauna is pretty mediocre. But the staff are pretty rude. I needed them to open my locker and we had to try a couple different ones cause I forgot which and the guy got really upset with me. Meanwhile I’m soaking wet in a towel without my belongings. We get it open but the guy gave me a bunch of lip about it and made me feel even worse than I already did. Staff not friendly at all. Would prefer to not interact with them at all.

    YMCA as an organization is known to be a place of community as well as charity. While I’ve got quite a thick skin, I do have to say that the process of obtaining and processing a financial aid form for membership here was met with disproportionate amount of what felt like feigned confusion. I find it hard to believe no one else has contacted the gym about financial aid. If they truly haven’t, it’s a shame that this location has so thoroughly forgotten the company’s mission.

    Absolutely amazing! Can't believe I hadn't discovered this Y years ago. They have the nicest staff and everyone who goes there is very helpful and friendly. Classes are top-notch and it's nice as you don't need to sign up for anything and you can take classes as you choose. The water aerobics classes are super with two good instructors. The fees are extremely reasonable. Updated equipment that is well maintained. The place is spotless. Only one complaint from me -- the WiFI is pretty useless and only works at best in the lobby area. Don't let the older building dissuade you as they keep it well maintained.

    Great place to work out. Staff is friendly, it gets a bit busy between 1600 and 1800. The free weight area is small, no fault of the YMCA, Great pool size, and they have several programs you can join. (NOT pictured is the basketball courts, fields, and outdoor play ground)

    Very friendly people. Was in Alexandria for 2 days for a wedding and needed to get a swim in and the staff was very welcoming. Highly recommend joining if you live in the area.

    We have loved the YMCA in Alexandria. We use it as a family, our daughter has taken swimming lessons and we love the child care service they offer!

👍 It's the low ceiling version shoved into a mini mall. They just finished locker room renovations and replacing their treadmills so it's a great time to join. If something is "out of service", don't expect it to be functional for about a month. Luckily the kids are back in school so it's not as crowd...

😠 Look, I’ve been coming to this gym for over a year. The only times suitable for people who actually want to workout are 5-8 in the morning, on week days only. I do not need much to workout or expect a lot, but this place is a disgrace. On weekends, every single time I have come it is an absolute me...

👍👍 I absolutely love this gym! I originally purchased a week membership since my friend was in town and needed an Olympic lifting platform. Well, it was such an awesome place that I signed up for a membership! The gym has the type of vibe that’ll get you motivated as soon as you walk in! I was a little...

😠 I joined this gym after leaving another that went downhill in the area. When I joined, they were just reopening after the pandemic and it was very clean. I enjoyed this gym for a long time, but it’s just been so dirty as of the past few months. I’m attaching photos of machines I’ve taken over time....
