Taylor Bend YMCA

I love the establishment. We were members when we lived here before and I really enjoyed the classes and outfit water park in the summer. We haven’t joined since we have been back because I just had a baby but as soon as I’m ready we will be back

5 bucks a day for guests in town. Limit 14 days a year. Basketball court is only a half court with a hoop on the side. Everythings in good shape and clean. Worth it.

I’ve had a YMCA membership years ago but had to cancel it because of relocation. But I had no problems with it back then. It was through my mother in law that I was able to come here as a guest while she was in town. I thoroughly enjoyed it enough where I came home and convinced my husband to join the Y.
In comparison to the Greenbrier facility, it is a little smaller but still very clean. The equipment seems to be in working order and there are enough machines and equipment for everyone. I am in love with their childcare. My son is a few months old and it is very convenient to drop him off here instead of hubby and I taking turns to work out. We can now both work out at the same time. The childcare workers are all very nice and upbeat and I see how they interact with other children.
Some kids don’t want to play nice with other kids and I have seen that they do not allow that and help to resolve any disagreements instead of having the kids bicker – which is awesome in my mind. So you don’t have to worry in that regard.
All of the facilities I have used are clean as well and just inviting. Their classes are very fun as well. I haven’t come to a class I didn’t like. I am particularly fond of their yoga class.
Overall, I love it. The benefits are exceedingly great and the staff is just really cool and pleasant to be around. I will recommend to a friend!

My gym of choice. My kids have fun in child watch while I work out so that gives me peace of mind.
The staff is friendly and helpful. A variety of machines and classes for levels and degrees of exertion/​exhaustion.
There are so many programs in addition to their fitness classes like baseball or dance for the younger kids. All of my children have taken swim lessons here too! A nutrition class for adults. Parents night out for a couple hours of free babysitting. My oldest daughter has even participated in the young leaders volunteer group for teens.
The YMCA is a great organization and this YMCA maintains the standards!

This is truly a fantastic YMCA! It is very clean with a lot of great group classes. I have tried various yoga classes but they also offer Pilates, barre, kickboxing, Zumba, and many others. Yoga & spin Sandy is amazing! upstairs, they have a lot of machines so you can usually find one to satisfy your cardio fetish. There is always a line for the Zumba going on in the group studio up there. There is also a spin room, a walking/​running track, and a personal training area in the center. First floor, they have a weight room, basketball court, indoor pool and access to outdoor pool, very competent childcare (during the week, can’t speak for weekend), very clean locker rooms with steam saunas/​showers/​lockers/​hair dryers/​personal hygiene items/etc…The staff is always so warm and willing to help answer any questions. I wholeheartedly recommend this Y.

Excellent instrctor. check her out. guantee you’ll love the class… most energetic and happy person to be in contact with. always smiling, very postive and loving.

For a gym, yep. This is «As good as it gets!»
All the machines always work and are clean and inviting. There’s always a staff member within eyesight and available. They have a large variety of programs and plenty of classes available. They offer personal training. They have a free tracking program for DIY goal-​setting and training. There’s childcare and volunteer options. Four pools (for different purposes). Large, clean and well stocked locker rooms. Homeschool programs.
Here’s a one-​off story: one day I went to the pool there. Didn’t realize that I just left my ipad hanging out on the bench in the locker room. It wasn’t there when I came out. I checked my car, nope. Definitely brought it inside. Damn! I checked «Find my iPhone» app and sure enough, it was still on-​premises, somewhere. Hoping to get help finding it from the people at the front desk, I told them my dilemma. They reached down under the desk and handed me my iPad. Yes, I’m an idiot. Yes, someone there is a saint. Actually, multiple people there, because it had to have switched hands at least twice.
I love this branch. I love the patrons. I love the employees. I am beyond pleased with my membership and all that comes with it here.
Also, this location is connected to more than a dozen others (25, actually). So, I can go almost anywhere in Hampton Roads and find a YMCA of which I can use their facilities… They even have a location in Olney and one in Jamesville (across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel *shivers*).

I’m visiting family in Chesapeake & was very happy to see that there’s a Y nearby. I’m not a member but my niece is. I called to ask info & was hold that I can come in, sign a guest form & be sure to bring an ID. I went today (June 30, 2014) eager to attend the 1030−1130am Zumba class. The lady at the front desk said that I need to have a member be with me. I told her that that wasn’t mentioned to me when I called and if it’s possible that I’ll call my niece so she can vouch for me over the phone. The front desk staff showed that she was irritated and bluntly said, «No!» I did not want to bend their rules so I said OK & I asked if I could use the restroom while I wait for my husband to pick me up. She rolled her eyes and very rudely pointed me to the restroom. WOW! I was really shocked by her attitude & lack of hospitality! I hope other out-​of-​town guests will be treated more courteously & with more respect.

I have been a member for almost a year and I love this Y. The staff is excellent and I have found this location very clean. I do mostly aquatic exercise in the indoor pool and I use the therapy pool. The instructors are great. The outdoor pool is really nice. The parking lot is accessible. Obviously, I don’t take advantage of all the things that are offered here. They have a lot of activities for all age groups.

Very thankful we ended up at the y! I had been a member at plant fitness for a few years and loved the fact you can walk in, do your workout, and hand them ten bucks a month! But when my wife wanted to join and we needed child care during the without, planet didn’t make the cut. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful! The childcare (I-​zone) is amazing, our daughter asks to go all the time… camps, swimming lessons etc! Well worth the family investment!!!

I love it here! I have been a member for a year now and the benefits, facility, events… everything is great!!! If I had to complain… the membership of $ 88 for family… sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh! But hey, they are definitely making my money work for me and the facility. Every now and then something is down (broke), or maintenance is needed. Which is cool things happen, but for the most part, it is never too crowded in which I cannot get my workout on. Or not too crowded in which, my 6yr old cannot enjoy herself in the interactive zone or at the pool. The waterpark/​outdoor pool is definitely a hot asset! And now they are building a park for all ages to enjoy… cannot wait for that! I do believe I will be a member for life! And yeah, other facilities in the area, I am able to go there too with my membership at this site! Awesomeness :) Everything you want at a neighborhood gym, the Y has it covered!

Horrible Staff in a nice new building. I love the Y and I almost bought a house really close to this one so I thought I’d go check it out. it looked great but the staff turned me off so much that I didn’t buy the house! I have 3 kids. two in the Interactive zone and one in the nursery. the I zone was blaring music so loud that my kids had their hands over their ears. they hid in the corner while older kids went crazy. the staff was playing video games and not watching the kids at all. IN the nursery one of the two ladies was on the phone the entire time while a few of the babies screamed and cried. when I went to pick up my baby, all i did was point and she picked up my son and handed him over. I asked about checking his sticker and she said i could just throw it out for her. the manager eric was completely disgusting as well. i asked for a tour and by the end I felt like i had been violated. he wouldn’t stop looking at my chest kept getting super close to me. I actually asked him if he had a problem with his eyes it was so often. and no. I’m not stacked. and yes, I was completely covered! I would not feel safe taking my kids here again.

Great facility all around.
Been to several YMCAs and I like this one the most. Location is easy to get to. Parking lot is accessible, although I have heard that some people have had their cars broken into in the lot.
Staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Great cardio, aerobics, indoor running track, easy child care, interactive zone for kids, bball court, pool, awesome outdoor pool, great free weights.
No complaints from me and worth the money. I don’t play basketball, but the gym is a little small. I don’t think you can play full court there.

Something for everybody. Exercise equipment is fairly new. Has free weights as well. Staff pretty good too. Facility seems to be pretty clean every time I go. Indoor track. Nice indoor pool with hot tub and also therapy pool. Outdoor pool open Memorial Day through Labor Day. Gym is tiny… can play half court only although there are two hoops to shoot at. Have activities for all ages and fitness levels. Added an outdoor field this summer too. Family changing areas as well as separate mens and women’s locker rooms/​showers etc. Pretty darn good. Knock out wall for full court and add on an addition plus wi-​fi and café would get 5 stars.

This is a great Y. Lots of classes and great equipment. Helpful staff. The kids enjoy the interactive zone and child watch.

clean, Friendly staff. offers many different classes. My children even enjoy going, there’s something for everyone!

I just joined here a few weeks ago. I am really impressed with this place. The facilities are great. The staff is so friendly and helpful. My toddler goes to the stay-​and-​play, and he loves it there. They offer a wide variety of group exercise classes and they welcome folks that are beginners. Very welcoming place, very happy I joined!
