Not only at this location but also other recreation centers as well! Parking is ample. You get full view of the pool to the left of the entrance and then the welcome/reception desk and even a peek at the indoor court. The membership signup was a breeze, the staff was helpful. Flyers of class schedule, pool and gym schedule and other locations are all available by the bulletin stand where you take schedule printouts. I cannot wait to start my early morning classes!

They are fantastic and listen to our goals and concerns - continuing to challenge our kids and creating classes for them when they don't exactly fit the mold. They adjust their approach and work with us and our sensory sensitive kiddo. Some days he needs a gentler approach and others he can be pushed a little further and challenged. He is in a small group class and they are mindful to pair him with other kids that will work well together. We are so lucky to be a part of the Katie's Kickers family. We Katie's Kickers!!

The way they teach is like nothing we had seen. AND it works like a champ. After 4 seasons, our daughter is like a little mermaid. We starter her when she was 5 and she learned to swim on her own after just 4 lessons! Now she takes lessons to learn new strokes and just to see her instructor Rorie. She's awesome. They teach in Hawaii during the winter months and Virginia Beach during the summer months. You can't get much better than that for a swim instructor that regularly swims with the dolphins!

What a knowledgeable, professional, dynamic, fun, personable instructor. I instantly felt like I was in a training environment in which I was not just a customer but truly joining a family. Thank you so much, Chris. Additionally, the staff in the full service dive shop, who are most certainly also divers and/or instructors, were equally amazing. It was obvious that they weren't merely focused on selling or upselling gear. Thank you Mason and Chris for helping me select the right equipment for me. Finally, let me talk to my fellow retired folks who may have wanted to learn SCUBA, but now feel like that ship has sailed. Get off the couch, head over to the Lynnhaven Dive Center, and take that first step. You can do it, and you won't regret it.

Horrible Customer Service…read more I went in last week to sign up for a snorkelling class. I showed up right when they opened. I was first greeted by a young man. When I asked to sign up for the class, he said he had to ask the older man since he was new. The older man came out and I started to explain what class I wanted to sign up for. His cell phone rang and he picked up he call. I could hear he was talking about personal stuff. I could not believe he just kept talking when I was standing there. He obviously did not care about me as a customer. I could tell the young man was uncomfortable as the older man just kept talking on his cell phone. I will never come back to this place even though the reason I tried this place was because of the mostly positive reviews.

I've been to YMCAs across the U.S. and Canada and this is tied with only one for as my favorite…read moreYMCA! Besides the location and staff, the best part about it for me is the dry sauna and the stationary bicycles facing the windows. I'm also super stoked that it became 24 hours starting this month/April...at least the main workout area is. The only cons I've experienced so far are: 1. The showers were only cold water at the time I tried them - but, in all fairness, it was end of a Sunday and lots of kids there. 2. There is only one Hip Abduction & Adduction Machine/Dual Inner/Outer Thigh Machine and someone is always using it. Despite being at the gym for hours, I've never seen it open so I have to use my thigh bands at home. There really needs to be two of them. Many of the machines around it go unused so they could easily be swapped out for a 2nd Dual thigh machine. Otherwise, this place is great and I feel safe when I'm there. Since it is such a nice YMCA, I can see why it gets so busy at certain times. I adjust my workout time when I can to avoid the crowds, but I understand that not everyone can do that.

I work with them individually well also in a group to be able to get them to swim safely. The changing rooms were very nice and quite clean and private, which was really great as well. Everyone was super nice and super welcoming and we really had a great time taking some lessons there. I would join the YMCA if I didn't already belong to another gym though, because it looks like it has a heck of a lot of stuff. Even a climbing wall! And lots of classes and activities too! Might have to look into that sometime soon!

I signed my son up for their summer camp. Together with their other location in Virginia Beach,…read morethey offer different classes throughout the year and during the summer. I was super impressed they offered 3D printing and teaching about design. They provided this particular class the last month of June, Monday 9-12. My son enjoyed the class. The teachers were friendly enough. However, on the first day I signed him in, I noticed that no one introduced themselves to me or explained what the camp would entail. This kind of rubbed me the wrong way. Overall, I am a fan of what Code Ninjas do with children and STEM activities they offer. I suggest the teachers (in this case they call them sensei) be more communicable with the parents coming in. Parents love to know what their kids are doing, and that who they leave their kids with are friendly, knowledgable, and approachable.
