This is the YMCA in my neighborhood that I frequent quite often. I had an issue with my membership…read moreand the staff was able to help quickly and without any problems. He was a huge help! He even guided me towards learning how to use the YCLT+ app on my phone so I could check in without having to use the handheld membership pass. This gym is clean and well ventilated and I love it. I usually go in the morning, so not a lot of people there. I've been to many YMCA in Charlotte and this is one of my favorites. In the morning, it's an older crowd. Which is great for me I'm not looking for a show stopping crowd. I go to the gym to work out and for my health not for a runway show so if that's what you're looking for this is the YMCA for you. This YMCA also provides workout classes as well that you can choose from that's included with your membership. There's also a swimming pool and a locker room where you can shower after each workout. There's a basketball court and also childcare area, but I'm not sure how that works. There is also lots of parking.

I was in Charlotte on a rainy day (postponed that day from being a spectator at the PGA Men's Golf…read moreChampionship). Researched YMCA's close to our hotel and went to the McCrorey YMCA in Charlotte. Used my reciprocity with Silver Sneakers membership from Jamestown, with use of the facility for FREE. The indoor pool at the McCrorey Branch was fantastic, a nice respite on a very rainy day. The lifeguard and entire staff was friendly, helpful, and professional. Everything was clean, from the front lobby, locker room, to the pool. I highly recommend the McCrorey YMCA for everyone.

From the time the class started...it went downhill. As soon as the class started.... she singled me out of about 20 women...(mind you) in the water I was doing the exercise wrong. There was no greeting me....at all. This was my 1st class with her. She went straight to making me feel like I was being singled out...out of all the women (which may have been her regulars). Every sec she got...she was telling me I was doing exercise wrong out of ALL the other 10-15 women in the pool. I thought maybe it is just me but when 2 other ladies noticed it.....no not just me. I was blatantly being singled out in the water aerobics class...once again I have to say....it was alot of other women in the pool. I finally had to ask her not to say anything else to me and I left class. For Anyone going to any class etc..it's the instructors job in my opinion to make the person feel Welcomed! Regina the water instructor did not do that. This is not the YMCA Christian way. This has been my 4th or so week going to this gym and it was good until this last time. I will not ever go to any class she is instructoring again.

July 18, 2026. Denver, NC YMCA facility at around 11:30 AM…read more My 38-year-old adult son has Down syndrome and cannot care for himself. I am his mother and legal guardian. I work for Hospital, and my son attends a day program from Monday through Friday. Because of our schedules, Saturday is the only day he can visit the YMCA, and this happens to be my weekend off. When I approached the front counter, the elderly lady working there informed me that I had to pay a $20.00 guest fee because we do not have an active membership. I had absolutely no problem paying that fee, as I cannot leave my son alone and wanted him to enjoy the facility. However, she then told me that we could not enter because guest access was only allowed from Monday through Friday. At that moment, another staff member intervened and told her that we were allowed to enter. Despite this correction from her colleague, the lady insisted again that we could not enter. Feeling unwelcome and uncomfortable, I decided to leave. We then drove to the Lincolnton YMCA, where I explained the situation to the staff there. They were incredibly helpful, but they also could not understand why the lady in Denver denied us access. I need a clear explanation regarding the guest policy. Furthermore, I strongly believe your staff needs better training and sensitivity when dealing with individuals with special needs. My son does not understand why he was rejected, and it is heartbreaking. I expect a prompt response regarding how this situation will be addressed.

We drove 35 minutes here just to get kicked out of the gym because I had the "wrong shoes on" mind…read moreyou there were no signs anywhere that mentioned anything about what shoes we have to wear. For the record I had on Birkenstocks and I wear these shoes all the time to the gym and they've never said ANYTHING nor have I ever had an issue. I understand it's for safety to have fitted shoes but I don't always bring extra shoes with me every where I go, especially because I was just tryna make a quick stop to work out after running errands all day. A YMCA membership is not cheap, respectfully they shouldn't be kicking their guest out for not having proper attire. If they're going to do this provide backup attire or at least give me a warning for next time.‍ Fortunately the woman was kind about it but she didn't even allow me to work out since I was already there!! She kept apologizing like that's gonna give me my time back, this is my only day off and I don't have time to drive back and forth over some shoes.

I stopped by recently because it was convenient and brought a guest with me. Before doing anything, I asked the woman at the front desk how the guest policy worked. She didn't really explain it and instead just asked for my guest's information. I assumed she was simply checking the system to see if my guest had visited before. I stepped away for a moment to check whether the court was crowded, and while doing that, something came up that required me to leave earlier than expected. When I came back to the desk, I told her never mind and that I needed to leave. She responded, "It's okay, I sent the receipt to your email." That caught me off guard. I assumed it was just confirmation of entering my guest's information, especially since I thought guests used to be free (which is why I asked about the policy beforehand). When I checked my email, I saw that I had been charged $20. The issue isn't the money, it's the lack of communication. Before charging someone, the process and cost should be clearly explained. I've never had issues at the other locations I visit, so this felt like a one off experience, but it's enough that I probably won't return to this location.

The classes I've done are good, and the staff has been nothing but friendly. Locker room is clean as is the pool.

The lifeguard wasn't in his place when the incident happened. The incident happened on the backside of the trainer and i am not convinced that the gulping happened for 4 secs. So there was a lapse in safety. 2. There is no emergency contact to report or talk to. Academy following paper and email approach but when a kid is shocked and stopped talking for quite sometime, you should have a proper communication mechanism with the manager or owner which isnt there. 3. I wasnt sugary to the front desk since i was very agitated but neither i used any unparliamentary words neither i was unruly.. aggressive approach isnt the right phrase..The lady at the front desk was rude. Instead of calming a parent she just shrugged off her responsibilities by giving a pen and paper. So training issues there. 4. Email from the manager was really really unacceptable. Next step I shall post that email to different forums to show how inconsiderate you are. 5. You asked not to accompany my kid which is unrealistic.. baseless allegations of past unruly behavior was cited with front desk when I literally spoke in length with the front desk person for the first time..

- Hygiene was hit or miss, both in the pool and other facilities. During our final lesson, the…read morewater was so murky that you could barely see the lines in the pool (photo attached). The bathrooms were so neglected that we usually opted to wait until we got home to change. Even at peak-pandemic, hand sanitizers and hand soap dispensers sat empty for weeks at a time. - Safety was another concern for me. We were comfortable in a 1:1 lesson, but some classes were larger with teachers dividing their attention. The lifeguards frequently had headphones in and were actively engaged with their phones, and were sometimes not even present at our evening lessons even with a full pool (photo of empty stand attached). - Scheduling became a nightmare towards the end of our time here. We had a weekly scheduled 1:1 swim lesson. During our last month, two regular lessons were cancelled (one after we arrived at the pool due to a no-show sub, and the other in advance because they couldn't find a sub.) We scheduled two makeup lessons, and BOTH were cancelled after we arrived due to hygiene issues in the pool. So, a total of four cancelled lessons in about a six week period, three of those cancelled after we arrived, and we were only offered a $30 refund. - The pool where lessons are held is small and often overbooked. Sometimes there would be so many kids in the pool that there was no room for a lesson, so my son would be taken to the larger lane pool and would have to wear a life jacket for the entire lesson even though he can swim independently. It defeated the purpose for us a bit. - Customer service was what really killed our experience. After showing up for a lesson and finding out that it was cancelled (see above, a frequent issue), I sent an email to the director of the swim academy asking for a refund of that lesson. The response I got was angry and highly inappropriate. I spoke discreetly with a few staff members who confirmed this is a frequent problem - the swim academy director is married to the owner and often causes issues with her unpredictable outbursts and rude correspondence. There are dozens of other reviews in local neighborhood/mom groups complaining about her behavior towards parents who try to bring up legitimate issues. It's a shame, because we loved my son's teacher as well as all the makeup teachers we had over the past couple of months. Unfortunately we just can't in good conscience continue to ignore all the red flags at this location.
