When members would come into the store, as directed by the owner (Chad Taylor a fraudulent bussiness person), I would have to tell them to leave and go home to cancel there membership. What a truly poor bussiness model. He is trying to rake in every single penny that he can because he is aware that his bussiness is failing. On a separate note, when I quit (happily), he did not pay me nor would he answer any of my messages or calls. I finally went up to the gym to let it be known how unhappy I was. When I arrived my check had been there all along, yet he did not bother to tell me. Stay away from this gym. It's a money trap: if you do not listen to the other reviews or this one, BEWARE you will not be content. I wish I could give a 0 star review.

Trying to cancel your membership at this gym is a nightmare. Followed the steps that were explained…read morewhen I joined, including bringing my carbon copy of the original contract (as if they wouldn't have a copy or record on file). At that time I was informed only the owner could authorize a cancellation. They could not offer a contact number or a time when he would be in the office. The employee I spoke with said ai would have to submit a form online to cancel. I did this and the submission just comes back to me as undeliverable. I have tried to submit the form several times as well as calling the gym trying to catch the owner there. Frustrated and furious. This is shady business.I've been jumping through their hoops for 3 months and no luck. I'm calling a lawyer or action 9 tomorrow. Tired of wasting the most valuable resource I have, my time resolving something that should be simple.

I cannot see this location on the Y App because apparently they have their own app which btw is…read moreugly. The facility is old & sooooo outdated. The elevator when I went the first time to tour it was not working & i needed it. Sucks because if thats not working you cannot go in unless you climb stairs. Childcare honestly sucks. There is no such thing as ratios (adult to # of kids by age). The kids are all mixed no matter the age. If anything the ones that are kinda separated from the rest but in the same open room are the infants & that is only by a little playpen. I couldn't even work out comfortably just thinking that a toddler could throw a toy in there & potentially hit my baby because again it's a little play pen & everyone is in the same room. Childcare works by reservations only. To make a reservation you have to call. Fridays & Saturdays don't have night childcare. Sundays no childcare at all. I was really looking forward to this Y mainly because its the closest one to me but I wont be able to work out how I would like too. Mainly because of childcare. & it sucks because the whole reason i even got a membership was because they offered childcare. Maybe if it was just me I could possibly look past the overall outdated building but im still at meh!

I have had a gym membership most of my adult life in NY, SC and NC and I find our Y in Albemarle to…read morebe one of the cleanest and friendliest I've ever belonged to. One distinguishing characteristic is the members are all conscientious about cleaning the equipment after each use; I'd reluctantly cancelled my membership at an area competing gym because the members were really not hygienic about sharing the equipment no matter how many signs management posted. There are 2 rooms with many strength training and aerobic equipment. The lockers rooms are spacious and spotless and both the staff and the members are very friendly and helpful. Also, members of all ages and degrees of fitness work out together respecting each person's personal space. They have both a warm and cool pool with plenty of time for free swim and many class offerings as well. The 2 negative views posted are unusual occurrences and certainly not the norm for this facility.

Overall, it seems pretty nice, but on my initial visit (set-up) I didn't stay too long. They have two separate machines and free weight areas, two areas where you can use treadmills or ellipticals, and then the walking track that the woman who showed me around said 16 laps equal a mile. The pool is closed on Tuesday until 9:00 AM and so I stuck to working out on machines for this visit. There wasn't a lot of people there so that is a good thing to me, nothing worse for a gym than an overcrowded gym.

A nice young woman gave me a tour of the facilities and I was able to sign up for a low monthly fee. I couldn't believe what was included; Two huge lap pools, workout equipment, classes I can choose from, spin classes, and a walking track, sauna and a Jacuzzi. The jacuzzi is down at the moment but they are working on it. The locker room and bathrooms were so clean, I was very impressed. I dove in and did my first 14 laps and it felt so good. The whole fitness area was very clean. Can't wait for the next visit.
