I only go to the Bryan Y for the group exercise, specifically Alex's Zumba on Friday nights. I used to go to BodyCombat on Sundays, which was my FAVORITE class, until it fell off the schedule when John left. I heard that would be replaced with another instructor, but that never happened. The primary reason I don't use the Bryan branch any other times is the recurring HVAC issues - using the treadmill or elipticals in the Fitness room can be uncomfortable. It has been better in recent times, but with Alex taking time off, I didn't have much reason to be at Bryan.
Straightforward gym, user friendly as a first time user, great location
It’s a great place!!!
Classes are routinely cancelled.
I love the Y. Best gym for the $
Cleanliness of locker room. Ick!
Maintenance of the entire facility needs to improve. Steam room, showers, broken toilets, and the list goes on
I would like the heavy weights to be moved away from the shared wall with the yoga studio so we do not hear grunts and weights slamming on the floor during yoga class.
Keep hand sanitizers working.
Put signs up reminding people to wipe down equipment. Treadmills need work.
When members log a complaint about a staff there is no follow up from management. So why would my opinion matter?
The workout area is nice. But you guys are absolutely terrible at making the classes work on time or at all. The Body Pump class has been canceled dozens of times and even the digital version typically doesn't work.
You guys need to work on improving your operations making sure if you're going to schedule a class it actually happens on time
There are very few exercise class offerings.
I like the atmosphere at this location. Also the staff is friendly and very helpful.
Multiple lessons were canceled due to the weather and they only made up 10 minutes.
Just the age of the facility and the distance is too far, a pool in the area near whitsett would be ideal
Improvement needed in the following areas:
Notifications when classes are canceled
Virtual class prep: all staff should be knowledgeable and virtual classes should be loaded without being asked
The lockers room…always a leak. Why are all those lockers reserved? Furniture upstairs is disgusting
The Y is a perfect example of disparity. Spears demographic would never tolerate the state of the Bryan Y. As a result, they have more instructors, better offerings, equipment and facilities.
Everyone at the ymca is so friendly
I go to this ymca because it is close to my house. I like to swim and also use the fitness center. The pool is not well maintained and is often broken / randomly closed / or cloudy. The showers are in bad condition and the drains don’t work - many of the soap dispensers and towel hooks are broken. The suit spinner is usually broken or malfunctions. The weight room is nicer than the pool, but rules aren’t in-forced (like not dropping weights) and maintenance is slow (like the water fountain and treadmills). I travel for work and go to Ys all across the US and NC - this one is in the worst condition of any that I have visited and many of the other Ys I’ve seen are in older facilities.
Unattended teenagers that take up the equipment by sitting and socializing for 30+ minutes without using it, yell over their headphones, don't follow basic gym etiquette. Barefoot or adults only wearing socks in the weight area and on machines. It's never addressed by staff if anyone is even in the wellness center to begin with.
An adult man filming me and having a teenager film me and then harassing me when I asked him not to. This was brought to the staff's attention but he continues to stare me down in the gym making me uncomfortable every week. I like the gym when these things aren't happening which is less than half the time, so unfortunately 5/10.
The locker rooms and showers need to be much cleaner and the showers need to drain properly which they do not. The curtains on the showers need to slide instead of sticking. And the mold on things needs to be cleaned off. There is no reason for the place to be filthy.
The guests and staff are friendly and supportive, however the building is definitely showing its age and is in need of improvements.
Mostly I swim at the Bryan Y. The lap pool is wonderful and I can always get a lane! However, the steam room in the women's locker room has been out of service for several months with no indication when it will be repaired. I have also spent about a year taking Body Pump classes on Saturday mornings. The equipment is extremely old and honestly pretty gross. I've switched to taking those classes at Spears. It makes me sad because I really do like the Bryan Y.
The instructors are priceless. The friends you make at YMCA are also priceless.
I am really enjoying it so much making new great friends and having fun in workout classes and doing other things for fun.
Still waiting for someone to go thru the machine and what we how to achieve at the Y.
