Best and most Christian locatin I've bern to all three but this is the only location that plays his radio all day. Positive staff, shout out to the classes and instructors you rock. Shane is forever inspiring us to keep going. Great kids facilities and program.

I’ve been going to the YMCA in Pickens off and on since I was about 19 years old, and I honestly can’t say enough good things about this place. I recently signed back up for a year membership, and it reminded me why I’ve always enjoyed coming here so much. The staff has consistently been wonderful for nearly two decades now — friendly, welcoming, and genuinely good people. The facility is always very clean, the location is great, and I especially enjoy being able to go in and do laps in the pool. It’s just an all-around comfortable and positive environment. You can tell the people here truly care about the community and the members. Nothing but positive things to say about the YMCA in Pickens. Highly recommend.

This place is fantastic! From the front desk to the layout, to the equipment, to the upkeep, and to the friendships! Going four days a week and having a great time. I was new to the area and now I feel like I have a small community of fun people who laugh and play and get exercise in the meantime. Shout out to my Pool Pals, we have the best time playing water volleyball. Barbara is a terrific trainer and teacher! I’m grateful and thankful for the Y Pickens.

I absolutely love the Pickens YMCA! Every morning starts with a cheerful “good morning” and the friendliest, most uplifting atmosphere. The staff is amazing—helpful, caring, and always ready to support you. I’ve grown so much here, not just in fitness but in community, from learning the equipment to joining fun events like the Father-Daughter Valentine’s Dance. If you want a place filled with positive energy, kindness, and community spirit, the Pickens Y is the place to be! Chancey Lindsey-Peake

I am a huge fan of the Pickens YMCA, and I want to share that I’ve never been a gym enthusiast. My journey began as a participant in the Livestrong cancer recovery program. Completing that 12-week program made me feel so good about myself that I decided to continue working out afterward. Now, I work with my trainer, Ryan Jobs, twice a week for an hour each session. As a 69-year-old woman from Central, I’ve noticed significant improvements in my overall balance, core strength, and self-confidence. Thanks to Ryan and the wonderful staff at Pickens YMCA, I feel healthier and more confident than ever. I truly appreciate the support and positive environment they provide.
