★★★★★Jake Wilbanks

Traveling out of town from SC. This is the closest YMCA location to my hotel. Facilities have been clean and staff is friendly. Great pool and sauna at this location. They do not offer towels here.

★★★★★Joyce Christian

The best family atmosphere.... with all kind of activities going on...my toddlers and I love going ❤️

★★★★Christina

It is an older establishment but the staff is friendly and it is convenient. The classes have greater instructions and the outdoor path, even though it is older, is still nice to walk in good weather.

★Lambsbook Oflife

Customer Service is terrible! Showers 🚿 are nasty! Staff never speak when entering and exiting this gym. I have a strong feeling poor CS is due to my race, because two seconds after entering this gym, a Caucasian woman entered, and front desk staff spoke to her immediately. I physically watched this the whole time while/before entering the women’s restroom. 12/18/23 @8:40am

★★★★★LG

Well maintained, friendly staff, large "have it all" gym areas, great changing room, steam & sauna rooms. Great outdoor pool and indoor pool. Indoor had comfortable temperature setting for year arround swimming! Outdoor is a perfect splash for kids and young teens to slash and do laps. Gym machines, classes and swimming laps - all great way to work out! The best to me is to have a sauna&/or steam time after all! It is amazing steps to finish sport activities and taking care of worked hard muscles..and mood too. Advize to visit...
