YMCA of Middle Tennessee

Amazing places to be. Everybody is respectful and helpful.

For a facility whose pool is only really suited to children (4 ft at its deepest) the family locker room is really disappointing. And you have to actually go into the pool to find it so by the time we did, it wasn’t of any use to us. We were trying this location because of the fountains and water slides, but they weren’t turned on. When they did turn them on (upon request) we discovered that on meant fire hose pressure. Painful and not playful for the little kids there.
Not a very friendly vibe from the pool staff, though everyone else we encountered who worked there was pleasant. The real kicker was the puddle of pink puke I found on the ledge of the pool. That’s when we left and I don’t see us going back to this location.
The gym equip looked nice enough, and they had a farmers market set up in the lobby, which was cool. Otherwise, I would have gone one star, I think.

This YMCA is pretty new and it shows. Everything looks very clean and intact. The staff is friendly as well.
New to Nashville I found a YMCA membership to beat out the other gyms I considered for the price and quality. I chose this why because it’s very close to my job. After visiting other YMCA’s in Nashville, I would have to rate this one a 3 and here’s why:
As somewhat of a workout fanatic, there are certain things I really need in a gym. One of those things being space. The gym is well equipped, but use more open space near the weights to do some of the things I like to do (burpees, squat jumps, circuits, etc). There is normally always a cardio machine available but there is only one of each weaight machine.
Also, the classes are not my favorite but they are decent.

This YMCA was the one that first caught my eye to join the family of gyms. The facility is architecturally amazing. Inside, the gym is state-​of-​the art and clean as a pin.
It’s a bit prison-​yard during the day with the big guys slamming down the weights, not racking their weights when they are done and a lot of loud testosterone yells when they lift.
Best visit time is late at night. Between 8:30 a.m. and noon is a nightmare!
