Steiner Branch Family YMCA

I love coming to the YMCA at this location. Overall, I've have had a great experience, the facilities are clean, the equipment is solid, and the community vibe is welcoming. However, today, I had an off experience recently that I feel is worth mentioning from a yoga instructor assuming the class starts at 11am. I was in one of the rooms about to cool down stretch, not realizing a yoga class was about to start, I didnt see a sign (could have been on the open door back side), lights were on, and people (3 ppl) were scattered around casually, stretching, one facing the back mirror. I found some space on the side. Then a woman came in and sat down at the other mirror in the front,, she glared at me while I was standing, when I asked if this was a class, she just said “yeah” no courtesy or possibly saying, Ms. are you participating in this yoga session?" She wasn't very nice by any means. Not in her tone or body language. I said “my bad,” grabbed the mat and proceeded to walk out. She asked someone else (the person facing the mirror in the back who had dumbells and was stretching) if they were doing yoga and they said no, but and that they was going to sit there and wait. While it wasn’t the worst situation, it did rub me the wrong way. A little more warmth or better communication would’ve gone a long way. I still enjoy coming here, but I hope the instructors will remember that kindness and communication goes a long way. You never know what people are going through. Kindness matters.

Wonderful little YMCA. While not as feature rich as some of the others it has everything you could need to get a great workout in. Very friendly staff and well maintained equipment ensure a good workout every visit!

worst experience of our lifes!!!!! please dont bother signing your kid up at this organization for flag football. they srewed up all the ages and it has been a mess!!!!! Our son was harrassed by parents due to their mistake because he is tall but certainly in the age categorie. Then they called me and said they had to switch him, i explained that he was born in 2012 not 2011 and i can bring the birthcertificate to the next game " lol" then they said oh no he is fine he can stay. Again people asking about him, its great for a childs selfasteem to be harrassed like that !!!!!! Gets better, then they sent an email to all the parents saying he and another kid are off the team, you cant make this stuff up " lol"...... long story short he AGAIN stayed on the team ( of course!!!!!!) because for the last time he is in the correct age cadegorie. Some other kids were off so, however they put all the wins that team had to 0(!!!!!!!) from 6 to 0!!!!!!!! Imagine how those kids felt!!!!!! then they make it to the championship anyways and of course everybody is mad!!!!!!!! Our son checks this morning the score chard and guess what they deleted it all, nothing online that says they won the championship. PLEASE do not waste your timeband sign your kid up at ymca, find a different organization!!!!!:) We mailed our cancelation for membership to the Y already. Aa I told them in my letter, human error is part of life but the way they handeled it was absolutley pathatic!!!!!! BTW......we feel bad for the other teams as well, they deserve better as well!!!!!!! Not fair to them. Again if you want your child to gain selfasteem, good sportsmanship and make memories, this is not the place. Before i forget the coach was awesome, he fixed as much as he could and did a great job!!!!!!!!

Love love love this gym! Child care is wonderful the staff is so sweet always remembering kids names and being so attentive. My daughter loves coming and is always excited. The gym is clean and has good equipment. My husband and i love the accessibility to the outdoor track across the street.its great! I 100% recommend to all thinking of joining this branch.

The other staff at the Grovetown Y have been fantastic but the manager Sandra…soo I have been taking my boys to this Y for almost 2 months now. I was tired of them gaming and gaining weight. I have a membership with a different gym but for 18 and older. So I get a membership with the YMCA so my boys can work out and lose weight. Kids aren't doing the activities that my age group was doing when we were their ages(so they need a little push). So when we were leaving out Sandra said your son can’t workout unless you get a note from the doctor?!! I asked why am I just hearing about this?! She asked when we usually come in so she can have a talk with the staff members that were there! 🙄 Lady, leave me alone! I workout with my boys so its not like they’re just running around with the equipment. I thought this was a family gym but now I am rethinking my membership!
