Alleghany Highlands Ymca West Early Learning Center

Great facility with super friendly staff & admin! Bobbie Wagner is an amazing leader and everyone who works there is welcoming to all, including pets! My son and I have been using various amenities for a while and I recently started taking some of the group classes which are included with membership. Zumba & Strength Training classes with Nancy are incredible & upbeat! Yoga with Tricia Dobbs is both relaxing & challenging. I was pleased to discover members with children can use the Stay & Play area in the mornings from 9-12 and evenings from 5-8 while parents are on site, which makes working out much more accessible. Also happy to see we can register kids for day camp at an affordable price during school vacations without having to sign up for the whole week. We're so grateful for all our local YMCA has to offer! Services & activities can be hard to find in rural communities, but not if you go to the Y!

Not an incredible amount of equipment. It has all the basics though. You can get a decent work out there. The staff is friendly. My only real complaint, is the ease with which they close the damned pool, sauna, and Jacuzzi. I pay 80 a month, to use these facilities. It's closed due to lightning......whatever, I understand. Put a sign up!!! Do not let people get changed into their aquatic clothes only to come up against a locked door. Its bad enough you have removed the main reason why I go there rather than a normal gym which has better weight lifting equipment, but, to have so little consideration as to not take 2 seconds to hang a pre made sign up that it's closed, is rediculous. The aquatics temperatures are also very inconsistent. Sundays everything is cold. Saturdays are better, and weekdays are decent better than the weekends. Maybe if they took their aquatics customers more seriously they would have more customers.

I think it is a disgusting shame that I have a YMCA here in my own home town 12 miles from my house and I have United healthcare but I don't qualify to use this facility unless I pay for the use. Who in the hell makes these idiotic decisionns, especially when I want to help myself and get involved in being proactive with improving my mental and physical health, really. You tell me I'm only qualified to go to a YMCA that is 40 miles from me, that's the most asinine bull crap ever. This will be sent to my Congress representative, as a retiree I should have first opportunity to use this facility. You get A zero for ratings from me. This is just like this community, only service those with money and or As Always those that have big incomes, this stinks 🦨. This is why no one wants to live in this community, there isn't anything offered by our chamber of commerce or the cities of either Clifton or Covington, not unless you have a big pension or retirement fund. Where does the lower income retired citizen fit in, We don't!

Very friendly staff, good machines, wonderful pool/hot tub and sauna, very clean and organized, well maintained, great price! As a woman who visits alone, I feel extremely comfortable going here.

Have really enjoyed it. 7 weeks now for me. Recently from 2 days a week to every other day. Mainly use walking track, stationary bike and rowing machine.
