Beaufort-Jasper YMCA of the Lowcountry

★★★★★Jessica Lawson

As both a mom and someone who takes fitness seriously, the YMCA in Beaufort has been such a great place for our family. It’s honestly the best balance of a solid gym environment and a welcoming community space for kids. The weight area is well-equipped and has everything I need for strength training — plenty of free weights, machines, and space to actually get a good workout in. It’s nice to be in a place where people of all fitness levels feel comfortable, whether you’re just starting out or you’re there to push yourself. What makes it even better as a parent is how family-friendly it is. Knowing my kids have safe programs and activities while I get my workout in makes a huge difference. The staff is always kind and helpful, and the whole place has that supportive community feel the YMCA is known for. If you're a parent trying to stay active, or someone who loves lifting but still wants a positive environment for your family, the Beaufort YMCA is a great spot.

This place seems like it has a lot to offer but we utilize it for the pool. The front desk is rarely helpful or friendly. Always with a earbud in or a cellphone in their hand. Recently we waited 20 minutes for the pool to reopen due to weather only to be told that it was open and sent away literally two minutes with my toddlers in tow. The female held up a sign saying it's closed again. It took three separate conversations to learn that even with the indoor pool we can't utilize it because of how it was built and they have to shut it down during bad weather. Disrespectful, unprofessional, tactless and frustrating are a few words I'd use to describe every interaction with the front desk personnel.

This ain’t just a gym, it’s a spa in disguise — Where treadmills hum lullabies and the sauna whispers lies. The pool? Warm like gossip in a small town. The weights? Waiting to humble your whole bloodline. Staff smile like they know your secrets (they do). And the view? Wetlands so pretty you’ll forget your glutes are on fire. 10/10 if you’re tryna sweat, flex, and maybe heal your inner child too.

This place is great. Friendly staff, fully stocked gym, heated pool w/jacuzzi, outdoor pool with splash area for kids, sauna, steam rooms, basketball courts, an after-school care program, kid's seasonal sports, baby/toddler daycare, and a huge variety of group fitness classes. They even have a preschool program. The family membership is only $80 a month too. Totally affordable for the number of things they offer.

★★★Autumn in the Lowcountry

The staff is super friendly! There are a few reasons I'm giving 3 stars. One being the kids pool is always crowded during summer because of the kids camp. The facility is way to small for the amount of programs they have going on.
