I've been working out at the Atrium YMCA for nearly a year. I've worked out at multiple facilities nationwide; this is the most pleasant and beneficial experience I've had.
Parking is plentiful and the building is large and well kept. The staff - front desk, trainers, teachers, guards, maintenance and management - are professional and courteous. All staff seem genuinely interested in members and have consistently been helpful, kind, and personable, excelling in customer service. The kitchen area is clean with the television giving it a homey feel. Each Friday members can enjoy free, delicious, freshly popped popcorn. Excellent fiber after a workout. The tables across from the sign in desk are always clean, nicely decorated and conducive to people who want to sit and talk for a bit. One can grab the Our Daily Bread booklet if desired.
The Wellness Center is spacious, with just the right amount of lighting. The Magnum equipment is the best; sturdy machines with smooth operation. Several machines offer the biangular feature to better target muscle groups. The machines are seldom, if ever, down. The free weights are always well organized and put in their respective slots. The cardio area is well kept and there are a variety of television programs offered while doing cardio. There's a CrossFit area with medicine balls, a punching bag and boxes for jumping. There's also a nice sized cycling studio, as well as a rope pulling machine. The entire Center is kept clean and in order.
The locker rooms are large, well-lit and regularly cleaned. The wood paneled lockers are a nice touch. Each shower conveniently has a curtain separating the actual shower from the dressing area and a shower caddy for shampoo, conditioner, combs, etc. The swimming pool area is always clean, with not only a competition and therapy pool, but a Jacuzzi that is regularly maintained. There's nothing better after a swim workout than relaxing in the warm and comfortable Jacuzzi. Aquatic fitness equipment - noodles, kickboards, fins, etc., are available for training.
A wide variety of classes are offered - something for everyone. Staff writes a list of each days' classes/times on a white erase board for the members' convenience. There are several spacious gyms and a well-lit Aerobics Studio. There's an area for enjoying ping pong and air hockey. In addition, there are regular festivities in which to participate - cookouts, luaus, dances - and more coming up for the holiday season.
This YMCA is like a pleasant, comfortable town with state of the art equipment and service. Everyone is sincerely welcomed and appreciated. Management and staff collaborate to provide one of the classiest and well-maintained workout facilities around.
