★quearvo BrandThe YMCA in Arlington was an awful experience from start to finish. The staff was incredibly rude, unwelcoming, and even showed signs of racist behavior. We were treated with no respect or basic courtesy — not like guests at all. The facility itself is filthy, old, and falling apart. It smells bad, the equipment is broken, and it’s clear no one cares to maintain it. There are much better, more respectful, and cleaner options in the area — I would never go back.
★★★★RVC Numba OneThe reason this place isn’t 3 stars is because the men’s sauna is spectacular. The sauna is above and beyond all other ymca saunas I’ve been to. The weights are acceptable but not great, there’s no pool, the people at the front are pretty useless but that’s par for the course at many YMCAs, at least they’re not as rude as the staff at Alexandria. Also they recently started doing towels which is awesome. The hours are what you would expect for a smaller YMCA. If you can get into XSPORT when they have deals that’s probably better overall since it’s 24 hours. Lifetime is nice but not worth the money.
★★★★Tosh GibsonI used the small Y for my short stay in the area. The equipment and facility is pretty old and rundown. Not the nicest Y I've been, but have the necessary equipment to work out. The staff were nice and helpful.
★★★Jack ScottThe place is very conveniently located and is NEVER crowded. Equipment is clean and there's always enough weights. However, the facility and equipment is ancient and awkwardly arranged. Straight out of the 80s. They also don't have many machines present at most modern day gyms. Great if you only need the bare basics for your workout and don't mind the enclosed spaces.
★★★★★Angela ChuI have been coming here with my son in-law and my daughter and their twin toddlers since we moved here 2 months ago. The atmosphere is great. They welcome newcomers like us and try to help in every way they could. It is very well equipped with a very nice swimming pools. They are lots of programs for members. We are all energized by the Y spirit. We just love it.
