YMCA of Huntington West Virginia

Fantastic experience: Great place to workout and have fun with the family!

Positive experience: Old equipment that isn't maintained well, kids usually running around being rude and leaving weights laying everywhere. The costs is way too high and now they are raising it even more. Currently looking for somewhere else to workout.

Fantastic experience: Chess club at YMCA is open for all ages. The meeting occurs every Saturday afternoon. It is very welcoming and friendly environment.

Fantastic experience: There's free Wi-Fi the Wi-Fi has download speeds of about 55 megabits per second and upload speeds of 20 megabits per second. There are three racquetball courts on the third floor. The membership costs are less than the Marshall Rec Center which is managed by a different company than Marshall. An individual membership for the rec center costs $500 for a semester. A yearlong family membership for the YMCA costs $800, a comparable amount. The bang for the buck is greater when you get a full year for four people at the YMCA over half a year for one person at the Rec Center. The cost of a membership for one person at the rec center for one year is $1,000 and $4,000 for four people. Contrast this with the YMCA's price of $800 for a yearly family membership. The lobby has a little newsletter named tidbits that covers a different topic each week such as birds, The color green, and gold. I like to pick up the tidbits and learn a new fact each week. The subject for tidbits issue 1,176 of the week of February 28th 2022 is adaptable plants.

Fantastic experience: I see other reviews here talking about disrespectful staff, yet I have never encountered this myself. All very friendly. I see people talking about old equipment, it all looks to be in good shape to me. Clean, functional, mostly modern. I see people mentioning the price, which seems completely fair to me. I make minimum wage and can afford to go here and pay my monthly locker fees. You have child care on site, 2 pools, multiple saunas and locker rooms with free showers. A fitness room, free weight room and very cheap tanning compared to other places. 2 basketball courts, and more and more. Of planet fitness is your type of gym go there, where you can eat pizza while you lift and take selfies like you actually work out. In 3 short months of going here and some nutrition tweaking, I have built my body to the biggest/strongest it has ever been. The money saved by showering here also cuts into the membership fee quite a bit. One thing I can't out a price on, the inner joy I have of self transformation, the betterment of my body and mind. Oh, and to the two kids who were in the free weight room complaining below, rules are RULES. If you were hurt then the Y would be liable because of your age. You dont know what you are doing with serious and dangerous equipment, period. Follow the rules. Why are your parents allowing this anyway? Responsible, knowledgeable adults have accidents in weight rooms from time to time, it happens. Stop complaining, and ask a trusted adult to accompany you. YOU, complaining about YOU, breaking the rules, and the employee, doing their JOB, is quite hilarious.

Fantastic experience: This place is good for swimming and most of the time you get to get in the hot tub and it’s so hot and fresh. I really like this place!

Fantastic experience: All the stuff are super nice and every time the gusset come the work will say hi and how are you been if the gusset haven’t been there for awhile and worker will told gusset where have you been..I enjoy my time at the YMCA

Fantastic experience: The water FEELS GREAT!!!and it's the Y.

Fantastic experience: Great place to workout, has something for everyone!!

Positive experience: I have enjoyed being there. The only thing that I don’t like is there is not much room to just go in a pool and just relax. The inside pools are mainly for lap swimming.

Fantastic experience: Great facility - large and older, but well kept-up. Tons to do - pool, weights, cardio, basketball, and much more. If it is your first time here, navigating the building can be confusing - it is like a big maze.

Fantastic experience: If your looking for a personal trainer who is sweet but will push you to your full potential there is only one person to go to and that is Simin, when I first started attending the Y, I was not happy about my body but in one short month I seen results that I could only dream about. I told Simin the specific body goals I wanted and with hard work and training with her 2 times a week along with following her meal recommendations I seen results! I am so happy about my body, I am now confident and finally awaiting wearing a two piece this summer instead of avoiding it! Thank you Simin!

Fantastic experience: The staff and what they are doing (providing great environment for fitness for people of all backgrounds, including handicap/disabilities) is great. The staff and students etc on staff are great, equipment is great. Hours could be better. But I did have one issue, I attempted to change my auto withdraw to new bank account and they failed to make the changeover and I got charged a late fee when the withdraw hit a different account. The young person on staff was having issues at the time entering the checking account into the system and asked the manager for assistance. The manager on staff at the didn't provide assistance to him. She said "You better get this right or he will get charged a late fee and will not be happy" So she knew things were not being done right but didn't do anything to correct matters. I believe this is not good management/leadership and good customer service. She was also disrespectful to me, didn't make eye contact, and was basically judging me because I didn't have a debit card on me yet for my new checking account and provided a blank check to setup auto withdraws to my new account. This rating is in regards to that one manager and not the gym in general which would get a 4 plus. Also their wifi is poorly secured, I would not use it or let your teenagers use it due to hacking risk. Posted after couple months reflection. So the real so the real issue with the previous review was not the people it was the issues with implementing new technology. And I've been going there continuing since the previous review. Based on that experience it's been very happy and it's a great place to work out and they really do a lot of good work. The people at the desk or always friendly they offer a lot of free classes, personal training, and not once has anyone stolen anything from my locker, even though I forget to bring my lock alot of times.

Fantastic experience: excellent everything in great shape, staff great.

Fantastic experience: Awesome facility, very clean.

Positive experience: It's pretty expensive and the hours have shortened by an hour ealier closing time. Day care is only operated from 8-12 noon on Saturday. Wonderful staff though.

Fantastic experience: Got the Summer pass falling in love with the place now

Fantastic experience: Great
