Dear Patrick, After having a tramatic experience of having my ribs dislocate while trying to roll over on my stomach in PT, I must tell you how grateful I am of your team. Wendy was so caring and tried to help get it back in place. I have had massages with Kellie, so after nothing was working, Wendy got Kellie and miraculously she was able to get the rib to move off the one below it. Wow the pain, but relief that I could move again. Kellie even texted next day to check on me. Thank God I was in the perfect place when this happened. I appreciate the caring spirit everyone has shown myself and my husband, who is dealing with confusion. BTW, Kathy at the pool is pretty awesome too! 🤗🙌🫶

Beautiful facilities, nice gym equipment and a perfect look out onto the river my only general complaint is I wish they had more open gym for basketball. Overall an extremely positive experience.

I have a partial scholarship which was still a lot. Mine will be ending soon and I will not renew. They don’t have very much variety of equipment. I brought my 12 year old with me for the 2nd time. He has a mild disability but is very high functioning. He wants to use the equipment. He used the rowing machine with me then he tried an elliptical. We both tried 2 different bikes but couldn’t get them adjusted short enough for us and no one offered any assistance. But when my son was on the treadmill this older woman said we had to leave because he can’t hop from machine to machine. She said he was playing on the equipment. I was right there next to him. We were both trying to find a machine we could actually do without severe pain. If he was playing then obviously I was too. I have stage 4 cancer and I have a lot of muscles mass loss in my legs because of loosing weight so quickly (80 lbs in 3 months) and I have nerve damage from chemo. Also this is the first YMCA I’ve ever been too that doesn’t include any training sessions with membership. South Boston includes 2. Eden YMCA allows children 10 and older to use weight machines with supervision. Danville also doesn’t participate in the live strong program that helps cancer patients with exercise or the diabetes program that other YMCA’s have. I would think with the casino here you would want to expand what you offer and equipment. You’re not really family friendly because once the child ages out of childwatch the only thing children can do is the pool.

Beautiful YMCA on the Dan River. They do not offer a single day pass if you are visiting. So you will need to look for other options. I was forced to buy a week pass to use the pool once.
