Green Hills Family YMCA

This used to be a much better gym in my opinion, and with a substantial increase every single year in membership fees (another 13.5% increase in January) there are some improvements I feel that should be made. They made it "prettier" with the renovation, but it is just not as functional as it used to be. **The staff is great however. -need mirrors in between squat racks. no way to check your form/depth and you have to either alternate with the person across from you or squat face to face with another person and is just weird -need more open space indoors for mat exercises/pull ups/free weight exercises inside. the indoor turf area is honestly kinda dangerous for mat exercises but is one of the few places available to do this-watched a guy squatting 300 +lb in the rack stumble/nearly fall backwards onto the people on the floor behind him. -I think more open space would help "traffic" flow at peak times as well, and removing the giant signs in the middle of the walkways. -the big "family" locker room is basically a boys locker room with guys walking around in just towels. (this was just a bad idea) I hate that we are having to look elsewhere for a gym since we've been members here for a long time, but increasing membership fees every single year to fund a less functional gym is not worth it. Seems like the YMCA is getting greedy.

The YMCA in Greenhills provides a welcoming atmosphere with professional staff. The group instructors are motivating and knowledgeable, making workouts enjoyable and fun. Also a great place to build community. I highly recommend joining for a wonderful experience.

I just moved into town from Tokyo and was looking for a gym to get back to train. The Y was perfect. Lots of varied equipment ; space and very courteous friendly staff and members made it easier to accilimitize here. Thank you for keeping this place running so well.

We love the swim classes, the yplay, and the workout facilities at this ymca location. The “family locker room” design, however, is horrible. The ymca should consider suing their architect/designer over the completely dysfunctional space. There is only one toilet stall (the others are in shower rooms that are always occupied), which means children frequently have accidents while waiting for the potty. The floor isn’t built right and there is standing dirty water all over the place. Paint on the walls and ceiling is already starting to peel from moisture after just a few years. Also, since the construction of this new space, there are no more saunas separated by gender, which effectively excludes large numbers of women with religious modesty convictions. There’s also no nursing space when the yplay is closed. The old family locker rooms were so much better, and served us well for 30 years. I don’t understand the change.

I have been a member of the middle Tennessee YMCA for over 10 years now. The Green Hills location has always been by far my favorite location. It has plenty of equipment to exercise on. There's never any wait to use a certain machine. Also there's plenty of exercise classes for all ages and abilities. Whether you're just starting at the gym or your very physically fit there's something for everyone.
