Y M C A! What else can I say. This Y is part off metro system so it is cool to have several gyms to pick from. Staff our friendly and helpful, and nice that they are not pushy like some gyms. You don't necessarily have a trainer to help, but they will assist with basics when asked. The yoga class is good, and they have a array of Les Mills classes. I have only done body pump and it was really good. They also do a "team lean" competition each year for the whole community. So definitely like all the community outreach they do with classes and fairs etc.
The gym itself is older, so parts are worn down. But they have renovated most of it so I feel like it is good shape. There is a pool so that is added plus too.
I hate pushy gyms (i.e. Gold's) so I will always support a local owned gym or a Y. I think Augusta has a good system of YMCAs across the city so worth checking out. read more
