Powered by GoogleEmerson YMCA has the friendliest staff and members ever!! I usually go to the YMCAs in my neighborhood, but I decided to drive 25 minutes to join a group fitness class at Emerson — and it was absolutely worth the trip.
As a SENIOR this place is a GOD send to keep me moving and youthful❣️ Nessa is awesome she teaches several different classes. Mz. Billie, age 84, had this active 65 year old sweating as I worked through her aerobics class. I must say I love it. Thank you ladies for allowing newbies to fit in & not pointed out on my missteps🤩
I have been a member of Emerson YMCA for almost two years. The facilities have clean workout spaces and modern gym equipment. I like the variety of fitness classes, so that anyone no matter what age can focus on their health. I am currently taking two different senior fitness classes and I definitely feel that I am getting stronger. I also like that Emerson reaches out to the community, and has events for the whole family. The staff are very friendly and never hesitates to offer help or answer questions. I would recommend joining Emerson YMCA to anyone looking for a fun place to work out and try new activities.
I had to come into this location, to pay and sign my child up, I met with Ms. Kyla. When I met her, she has such a professional and positive energy about heard. She helped me with everything that I needed help with in a timely matter and also was a shoulder for me to vent to, and she didn’t have to do that but she took the time to talk to me while still getting everything done. I really appreciate her and the staff. Thank you for making my day.
Got my grandson a membership about 6 months ago and he and a few of his friends attend on a regular basis. He has been to a couple of other facilities but apparently likes this location! They are high school basketball players and go there to practice and keep in shape! I appreciate having a safe environment for the young guys to go after school and on weekends.
