Ferguson Family YMCA

Positive experience: Nice facility. No suana

Fantastic experience: Love this YMCA! Location is super convenient, it’s never crowded and the locker rooms and showers are the cleanest I’ve seen in any gym. The staff is also super friendly, just all around great place!

Fantastic experience: Love the Ferguson YMCA. Instructors are warm and encouraging. There is a great variety of classes and levels. Classmates always friendly and accepting. All the things that make for a good experience!

Fantastic experience: It's a pleasant, clean, friendly environment. The one thing I would like to see changed/emphasized is the posted rule to not use cellphones while on the machines, and relinquishing the machines during extended recoveries. I once had someone complain to me because I used a machine they had walked away from more than 5 minutes earlier, but felt it was THEIR machine because they left keys and a water bottle next to the machine

Fantastic experience: I love this place so clean. Good environment

Fantastic experience: Great place

Fantastic experience: Very friendly and knowledgeable staff Clean and comfortable facility Great classes!

Fantastic experience: I love the variety of classes offered, the times work for my schedule and the instructors are really good. The staff is helpful and I love the fact that it's a smaller Y which makes me more comfortable since I'm not someone who usually loves a typical "gym" environment.

Fantastic experience: Friendly and clean. Great classes. A true sense of community.

Fantastic experience: There are a wide range of classes/activities to suit all fitness levels. The staff and instructors are eminently qualified, friendly and fun. There is sufficient equipment for whatever workout I want to try, There is a sense of community and comradery amongst the membership creating a very welcoming environment.

Fantastic experience: This is my favorite Asheville area YMCA. The space is small but has everything that I need. It is rarely crowded and I can always find the machine that I want even on weekends. Staff are friendly and the space is clean. The bathroom is clean with spacious handicap accessible showers that are usually available. Natalie’s Zumba on Friday mornings is a treat with a wonderful sense of community and fun. The only drawbacks are that sometimes the more popular classes are crowded. Please note that this location does not have a pool, sauna, racketball or pickleball. If you want those you’ll have to go to a larger location. Parking is also easy and close. Location is very convenient for Candler residents. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Great place! Friendly and knowledgeable staff who are always willing to answer questions and help with machines or exercises. I highly recommend this facility.

Fantastic experience: What Ferguson Family Y lacks in size, it makes up for with customer experience and relevance of programs for its demographic. All of the staff seem well schooled in member interaction. This Y could double in size and still run at full capacity.

Fantastic experience: Like the easy access to lots of amenities and exercise possibilities. Special shoutout to Meredith and the Tai Chi class!

Fantastic experience: Staff is friendly & helpful, equipment appears to be new and is kept very clean. The location meets my needs at the moment.

Fantastic experience: I love the YMCA! The employees and the members all contribute to my sense of belonging to a community every time I walk through the door.

Fantastic experience: Everyone I met at the gym was very helpful in signing me up and explaining how it all works. I've only tried one class, but have been very impressed with the quality of the teacher. People seem to be having fun there.

Fantastic experience: Great place, great people, great classes, super great all around. Ferguson is clean and all equipment is in order and working. Super place. Although, just for curiosity sake I did check out the competition, Planet Fitness down the street. I came running back to Ferguson immediately.

Fantastic experience: Great facility. The gym is clean, well equipped, friendly staff and non-intimidating atmosphere. My kid loves the childcare and ballet lessons. Would highly recommend the Ferguson Y to other families.

Fantastic experience: It is a clean, bright, friendly, well-outfitted location, and includes daycare for my child. My kid really likes the day care, so I and my wife go there to exercise as often as we can.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful instructors, friendly atmosphere

Fantastic experience: All of the staff are extremely helpful and kind. The place is always clean and kept up. I would recommend this facility to anyone.

Positive experience: Nice people here. Wish the classes were spread out thru the day instead of clustered and all at the same time.

Fantastic experience: I am not a gym lover AT all. However, the staff and other gym goers are always super nice. This gym is always super clean, organized, has an adequate number of machines and space, but my favorite are the classes and frequencies offered.

Positive experience: Good place to shower.

Positive experience: Very busy and crowded.

Fantastic experience: Small but works for me. Everyone is friendly.

Fantastic experience: Cozy and efficient. I love how clean the facilities is and how friendly the staff is. This place is great for a quick in and out tune up or fun classes.

Fantastic experience: As a younger kid the staff is awesome and treat me very well. Like family they offer to take me to coffee shop across the street and give me a ride to/from the ymca I do crossfit so I'm a little bit more exposed to more people but it awesome.

Fantastic experience: Love the gym very clean and I love that they have a daycare where I can see my kids and where they interact with my kids don’t just sit there the whole time

Fantastic experience: I love this YMCA branch! The equipment is great and available, super friendly staff, a lot of classes available, the space is open and organized and clean. The gym regulars are friendly and there is a sense of community. Convenient location. It’s a great Y!

Fantastic experience: The facility is well equipped with machines, free weights, and all essential workout equipment. They hold spin classes, tai chi, etc., if and classes if that's your preference. The place is clean, and well maintained, and the staff is friendly, competent, and helpful. Nice place.

Positive experience: nice gym, feels like it's always full and hard to get a machine to use. classes are small (like 6-7 ppl) allowed, which is good if you are one of them. You have to sign up in advance. Wish there was a pool, steam or sauna. it is nice there is plenty of parking and the hours are good.

Fantastic experience: Friendly, helpful staff, regularly scheduled classes, and always enough machines and equipment for everyone present. I just started going the week before last, because I got a voucher from Wellcare (my health ins) to go for free. With this membership, I can go to any of the 7 Asheville locations, as well as some national options when on vacation, too. The people who use this location are considerate, and tend to wipe down the machines after using them, at the very least, with the exception of a few teenagers who didn't seem to know that was a normal gym practice, even before Covid. But just in case, as the signs say, I clean them both before and after using them. I love that the machines have QR codes so that I can more easily track my progress in the app. The location never gets SO busy that you have to wait for any of the equipment for very long. Even the other members have been sweet and helpful when I've asked newbie questions. I'll definitely be back soon!

Fantastic experience: Beths body pump is fantastic. Monday night yoga with Annie is amazing!!

Fantastic experience: Love everything about this facility and especially the staff.

Positive experience: Pricey for a non profit

Negative experience: not a safe space for veterans. I did not see this organization actually follow "christian" principles. There are safer spaces to workout in the area.

Fantastic experience: Relaxed and friendly environment.

Fantastic experience: Kid loves the kid room Staff is so awesome and welcoming. Good variety of classes. Peaceful environment. Good equipment

Fantastic experience: Love love LOVE them

Fantastic experience: Go see Eleni when you join, she is amazing! I have been a lifelong couch potato and with Eleni's support, she has completely changed my outlook on exercise and fitness, and thus she has changed my life for the better.

Fantastic experience: Great facility, pleasant people.

Fantastic experience: I hired David Anderson as my personal trainer to train me for a Rim to Rim backpacking hike in the Grand Canyon. We met weekly and he gave me a weekly schedule to train and to stay on track. We worked together for eight months. I accomplished the four day backpacking hike with my four brothers. Thank you David and the YMCA for offering personal trainers.

Fantastic experience: I love Ferg! <3

Fantastic experience: Small enough neighborhood facility not to be too crowded, but with enough equipment and classes to meet most needs. Helpful, friendly staff.

Fantastic experience: Lots of variety for classes. Nice group exercise rooms. Lots of weight workout equipment. Has an in-house boot camp training facility, separate membership. Great instructors and front desk staff.

Fantastic experience: I love Westridge CrossFit - I needed 6 am classes with variety and I got 'em! The instructors are fantastic and able to make accomodations as needed. I have seen improvements in strength, energy and focus in my days. These classes are always very consistently staffed as well, which is great.

Fantastic experience: I live in a large subdivision nearby and many of my neighbors use the Ferguson Y, so I always see someone I know. It gives me a strong feeling of community. I like how clean the Y is - I often see staff wiping down machines, and they are very thorough. I enjoy the Gentle Yoga class taught by Sacha and occasional subs. Thank you for all you do!

Fantastic experience: This is the best YMCA location. Great yoga teachers, and a well equipped gym.

Fantastic experience: This is definitely my favorite Y, I love that it’s so close by and all the equipment is new. I love the small and comfortable feel. The one suggestion I have is to expand hours, this Y seems to have the most limited hours and sometimes I have to go to a Y further away.

Positive experience: It's a nice gym, a bit on the small side but still a good place to workout. Staff is also friendly.

Fantastic experience: Westridge Crossfit is the best!!

Positive experience: I love having this nice of facility this close to home. I just recently started to join Spin classes. I will try to sign in on the dot by setting an alarm and never get in class. I’m not very fond of this system. I do t understand why it can’t be first come first serve line at other gyms? I also feel like they could offer it more or move to a bigger area to accommodate the demand. Love our local Y

Fantastic experience: Loved

Fantastic experience: Awesome place to workout with the family

Fantastic experience: Nice quiet place to work out. Do wish there was a basketball court, would save a drive to other YMCAs.
