What a clean and friendly facility available to Greene County. We were traveling on spring break…read moreand spent a few nights in the area. My wife is pretty fanatic about getting her workouts in, even on vacation. We stopped to check out the Greene County Y and found they offered reciprocity to other Y members. This is such a great program for the YMCA to offer and the Greene County Y is now the second time I've taken advantage of it. We often do Les Mills programs at our home Y and dropped in on a 6 a.m. "fight back fit" class thinking it would be of a similar cardio based nature to what we are used to. It turns out this was an actual sparring type program with a small group of regular Greene County members. The group was immediately very inviting and welcomed us into their class. We each worked with a class regular that really sacrificed their own morning workout to work with the newbies. We had a lot of fun in this class and wish our own Y at home offered a similar program. The facility was clean throughout. The steam room was a bonus because we don't have one of those back home. Thank you to the Tuesday morning fight back fit class for being so welcoming and thank you Greene County Y for offering up such a great facility with quality programming.

5/22/17 From the archive…read more Knowing that my hotel I was staying at for the evening, the Hampton Inn in Greeneville, has a sparse workout area, I decided to head over to the Y to get a proper workout in before heading to the hotel. I was pleasantly surprised with what I found. I checked in at the front desk, made my way to the locker rooms, and got changed up. Visiting all of these gyms around the country makes me appreciate my home gym even more. There was nothing inherently wrong with the locker room here, especially if you hadn't experienced something better, but this was just a basic LR. The lockers were the old high school metal kind with the see through grates. The benches were plain wooden, and the showers were very basic as well. But, everything was clean and they offered towels, so I cant make any major complaints. The workout facility was bigger than I expected. Greeneville isn't exactly a burgeoning metropolis, but the facility is a great size. It is a classic Y prototype. You know, the one from the song by the Village People? There was a game room, lap pool, two gymnasiums, a lounge, a child care area, basically everything anyone of any age needs to occupy some time either after school or after work. There kids playing on the pool table and in the gyms, playing on the soccer fields and playground outside, and adults having fun as well. The workout equipment was updated and worked fine. The free weights section(s) were kind of small and cramped with only two sets of each poundage, making finding the proper weight difficult at times. But the treadmills seemed brand new. I missed having the TV display on the treadmill itself, but there were several tvs spread around. I will most definitely hit this place up next time I am staying in town. Since I already have a Y membership, this will be very convenient.
