Hickory Foundation YMCA

This is such a great YMCA facility. The staff, the grounds, the classes, everything. They do a really great job trying to accommodate all peoples schedules and their workout style. Staff are accommodating to learning the equipment, and they are always cleaning the equipment.

I really wish the hours were more open and consistent. I don’t work a typical 9-5 job so it’s a little difficult to get a workout in the day. Sometimes I don’t get off work until 10. I’ve been around 5-7pm before and it’s a mess. Pretty much everything is taken in the gym. Finding a bench is hard and you can forget about doing some cardio. It’s so crowded that I’ve literally walked in before and walked straight out. I know this review will probably fall to blind eyes but I felt the need to say something. I believe the membership cost that everyone pays should mean they have a say in hours at least. YMCA is one of the higher priced gyms.

It was OK, I really don't like they charge members for ice during a heat wave. Especially with so many active seniors as members. Seems cheap and tacky

Our son played flag football for 3 seasons. The program is disorganized and not worth the money. The kids are great and kind to each other. The parents are gracious and polite. Communication is terrible and there are never enough coaches. I had hoped the rumors were not true that some coaches told their good players to stay home for the skills assessments so they would not be picked for other teams. I have no doubt that the director allowed that to happen. Last year, someone couldn't count, so they didn't have enough medals to give out. We had to wait until they got more. My son was the last in line and only one who didn't get his medal with the team. This year we got a little ribbon for participation. The team deserved much more considering they had a coach who was crazy AND quit before the season ended. Thank goodness someone from Lenoir Rhyne came to the rescue. I tried to give the YMCA a chance but cannot allow the disorganization, cheating, and outright mentally ill coach ruin my child's self esteem. I would give it a negative star if I could.

After a long day at work I wanted to go to the cardio punch class. I've adjusted my work hours just so I can make it to the class. I arrived only to find out they couldn't watch my kids and they would have to go on a waitlist. I told them at that point the class would either be halfway over or even over and told them I would just go back home. They need more childcare people on busier days. One of my sons was upset he couldn't stay to play. Not a happy member.
