YMCA of Kanawha Valley

Spectacular gym equipment, horribly incompetent staff, made my $5 dollar towel token obsolete and replaced it with a monthly towel subscription which is another money grab scheme, so I suggest bringing your own. Over priced really for what it is and wouldn’t recommend to those who are looking to go regularly. There are better gyms around for less. Place has cost me wayyyyy more money than it will ever be worth to me.

Horrible and uninformed staff. They do not know how to check in traveling members and create unnecessary hassle just to get a workout while traveling for business. I travel weekly and visit multiple YMCAs across the East Coast, and this location has by far the worst staff I’ve ever encountered. The front desk is rude and completely uninformed about how national memberships work. If I have a membership at one YMCA, I should have access to all locations—and staff should know how to honor that.

The Y is hands-down my favorite gym. I’ve met so many people here and made a lot of friends and connections, it really feels like a community, not just a place to work out. Some of the staff are friendly and helpful, and every visit leaves me feeling accomplished after a solid workout. The only downside is that some of the machines could work a bit better, but that’s a small issue compared to all the positives. Overall, it’s a fantastic place to stay active, meet great people, and feel at home while you work toward your fitness goals.

They have about everything you need to workout with, a lot of the equipment though needs to be serviced and it's very dirty in there. If you look around the bottom of the equipment sitting on the floor and in some places there's over an inch worth of dust and I really don't know what it is but definitely gross; and especially especially around the cable attachment machines.

Always crowded. If you don’t go early in the morning or late at night the pool is always closed to members as there is always a class going.. seems the whirlpool is closed when the pool is as well. Most machines have some issue in the gym.. Weights are all over the place. Not worth the $60/month when you only come for gym pool and sauna. Wish there was a gym only membership for half the price! Otherwise I feel I’m paying for pools fees which I can’t even use 80% of the time! Check elsewhere before committing!
