Claire Chapin Epps Family YMCA - Showers/changing area women's locker room

Claire Chapin Epps Family YMCA

The people at this YMCA are some of the kindest, most genuine and caring people I've ever met. To…read moresay the least, they are some of the best people ive ever had the pleasure of interacting with. Many people around the myrtle beach area LOVE to sit around and complain, they have nothing better to do with their time. If you have a soul, you will see that EVERY single person at Claire Chapin Epps YMCA cares and is making a genuine effort to provide for their community.

I have been very disappointed with our experience at the YMCA summer camp. Over the course of the…read moresummer, there have been multiple incidents involving my child that have left me questioning whether the staff is properly trained to work with children, especially when behaviors or conflicts arise. Many of the counselors appear to be very young. While I understand everyone has to start somewhere, they often seem unequipped to handle difficult situations appropriately. Instead of using incidents as opportunities to teach and redirect children, it often feels like the first response is suspension or removal from activities rather than understanding what happened and helping the child learn from the situation. One of my biggest concerns is that issues involving one child have sometimes resulted in my other child being pulled into the situation, even when they were not directly involved. Each child should be treated as an individual,not by association. I was also told that staff laughed during a serious situation involving my child. While I did not personally witness this, hearing that from my child was very concerning. If accurate, I would expect situations involving children's behavior or safety to be handled with professionalism and respect. Communication with parents has also been frustrating. Rather than working together to understand the circumstances and develop solutions, it has often felt like discipline is the default response. Children make mistakes, and camp should be a place where they are taught, guided, and supported, not just punished. I understand that working with children is not easy, but parents trust the YMCA to provide a safe, structured, and nurturing environment. I hope the YMCA invests more in training its counselors on child development, behavior management, conflict resolution, de-escalation, and professional communication. My goal in sharing this review is not to criticize individual staff members but to encourage improvements that will benefit all children and families.

This place gets 10 Stars, 2 thumbs up, and a genuine appreciative round of applause from me. I…read morevisited the area for three days and went to this gym each day I was there. I took two classes at this gym and simply used the equipment on the other day. They have typical gym equipment and TVs to watch while working out. They also have child care and a large gym. I don't give the rave review for the gym itself, but certainly do for the people here and the instructors. From the front desk staff to each person I encountered I definitely felt the southern hospitality. Now to review the classes: Kickboxing with Kelly- This chick is hard core! She's intense, but also obviously committed to fitness and wants others to succeed as well as she has, in regards to her fitness. She continually gives feedback about form and keeps you going. I felt like a rockstar after I finished her class and was still feeling it days after. Boot camp with Polly- She has an infectious personality. Polly is equally intense and definitely makes you sweat. She also gives great feedback and keeps the heart rate up. Her class is definitely like a team practice for adults. I loved both of these classes and would easily join this gym if I lived in the area. Both Polly and Kelly were uber creative in their approach to fitness. I can't see getting bored in their classes. Everyone here made me feel like I had been a member for years. I can't say enough that I loved loved loved it!! Great environment, great staff, amazing hard core creative workouts. Job well done to the Gym!! Until next time...

Front desk definitely needs training. No one knows how to sign up Renew Active clients. The website…read moreclearly shows Renew Active can enroll at the gym, with a 9 digit number (vs a 16 digit for the Silver Sneakers option) yet the front desk employees insisted I HAD TO HAVE a 16 digit number, so I guess I'll be choosing a different gym til they can figure it out. The "eligibility checker" they use goes directly to Silver Sneakers (a totally different program). If you have Renew Active don't bother trying.
