Rude front desk person. Rude person in another area. Glad we didn't become members! We won't ever! Fantastic job making my wife cry! It takes extremely abrasive personalities to do that. Certainly earned your 1 star. Good thing there's plenty of other fitness options around.

During a recent trip to Hoover, I ended up here for a pre-Christmas dinner workout. The front desk was wonderfully hospitable, and offered me complimentary entry when I requested a day pass. The facility itself were spacious, clean and well organized and maintained. Cardio stations with the works from cycling to stair steppers to treadmills were stationed throughout. Same goes for the free weights and the machinery, though admittedly there wasn't enough space for the busy crowd that day. I ended up using both areas, and finished up in their group fitness room which was thankfully vacant that day. It was bright, well organized and a great space to get some mat, bosu ball, and kettle bell workouts in. Great family-friendly, affordable gym/ community center in a convenient area.

Great facility and staff. I'm a member of the Madison YMCA, but have been going here through nationwide membership. They have been very accommodating every time I visit, which makes my time here enjoyable.

The staff at this YMCA are amazing. Ed, Joanne, Corrie, and Faith at the front desk are welcoming, fantastic, and so supportive. Sarah and Dana have both gone out of their way to encourage me and show me how to use equipment I wasn't familiar with. Stacey is a fantastic yoga teacher and so upbeat and friendly. I work out here 7 days a week and I'm treated like family every time I walk in the door. Thanks to the Hoover YMCA I've lost 20 lbs in less than 3 months.

Horrible. I’ve had issues with the staff members for years. Unprofessional and honestly need new staff members that are more approachable and have more experience in customer service. It’s discouraging when the staff has treated me so poorly for years. I will just have to start working out at my university now.

Hands down this is the best gym experience I have ever had. I do group fitness classes and the instructors are awesome and everyone made me feel so welcome when we moved here from Marietta, GA 2 years ago. As we go back to Marietta for my husband’s job this YMCA is what I will miss the most! I am going to have a hard time finding the same great experience I had here.

I visited this YMCA on 03/06/2019 and absolutely fell in love with this location. Although I live nearly 20 minutes from the Hoover YMCA, I will make it a point to visit this location more often, when I can. I'm impressed with the other Birmingham YMCA's, but this one is definitely my favorite.

In addition to loving that this place is only 5 minutes from my house, I love the Zumba classes that are offered here! The place is always clean, they recently added new equipment, and my husband loves the spin classes. If you want people to motivate you on your wellness journey, join!

The variety of classes, which have the best instructors, the floor equipment, rarely have to wait to get on, the pool for my husband bc he loves to swim laps, and the cleanliness of the facility. My children have a place to go and have fun too! My oldest works out and runs on the track upstairs, which is such an awesome thing for him. There’s something for everyone!

I've been a member of several gyms, mostly big name facilities, this is *by far* my favorite. They have everything I want including machines, classes, personal trainers, pool, sports, an AMAZING summer program for kids (my son loved it), boxing bag room and spacious locker room areas. My favorite part of the gym is the indoor track. It's a 1/10 mile oval. As far as price... This is the most expensive gym I've been a member of.. ask about the 20/20, it helps especially if you need a family membership.

Summer Camp - The Hoover Y summer care program really stepped up their game this year! My son has never been more excited to go to summer camp. Two thumbs up there! Basketball - The Y’s basketball is fantastic. The kids absolutely are competitive, love it and learn a lot from the coaches. Fitness Group Classes - Very much so enjoy the atmosphere of the group classes. Yoga is wonderful and you don’t feel “out of place†like you would elsewhere. It’s for sure a great place to

We have been members of the Hoover Ymca for 2 years. It is very convenient for us. This location offers a wide variety of classes which I enjoy while my 3 boys use the gym to shoot baskets. We also take advantage of the swim team during the summer. This is a great way to get kids out of the house and get some exercise while enjoying the water on the hot summer days. The front desk is always friendly and the staff that teaches classes are great! Ymca offers a lot for your kids all year round. Great way to try a Little if everything before paying the high prices of club sports. The only thing I'm not loving is the pool location. It is pretty much right in parking lot. Wish it wS able to be located behind the building where your not the center of the parking lot. Otherwise every thing else is good

I was told about the scholarship opportunity for the after school program. I applied months ago and have yet to hear from the coordinator, even after numerous emails. I am now currently waiting on a response to my question about the summer scholarship, in hopes that the earlier I apply, the better chance I have at even being considered. She made me feel like I was put in the back of the line due my needing financial help. UPDATE: After finally hearing from a new coordinator,

UPDATE: After finally hearing from a new coordinator, I was told to to fill out the scholarship application and wait for an acceptance/denial the beginning of April. That is exactly what I did, and after being accepted (which I truly am grateful for), all of the childcare spots are now wait-listed! How is a company going to ask someone to sit back and wait for a response from them for months, only to find out that I can not even utilize the scholarship that I was offered. Now I have to find a last minute summer care program because of their lack of consideration. I understand that I need financial assistance- but I have had it with this company putting me on their list of "Get to when we have a chance" because of it!

Love this place! My son and I recently joined. It's very clean. Plenty of space and good weights. My son goes to the learn and play and they are awesome! So thankful for them as they make it easier for me to leave him while I have a little me time.

This is my favorite YMCA in the surrounding Birmingham, AL area. Don't let all the cars in the parking lot discourage you. I initially thought it would be too crowded for me to enjoy my workout, but I was wrong. Great variety of equipment and awesome trainers!

Bad bad , I feel so upset. I'd just cancelled my contract. We're not come usually but everytime me and my boys come here, the lady that work there Claudia , that's her name. She always has us problems to just past the front desk to go inside , I thinks she's racist. Because we're Asian. We're pay money to go here to have fun , relax , but she makes me and family not comfortable every times we come, look like shes not welcome us.

I have been a member of at least 4 different gyms within the last 10 years, and this one is the best! The facility is always clean, the staff is nice, and they have a lot of new equipment. The trainers and staff are very friendly and helpful, so if you have questions or need any help, they will kindly help you. The price for the membership is reasonable and well worth it in comparison to other gyms. They provide clean towels, plenty of filtered water to refill your bottle, and great childcare. I love the Hoover Y!

I really love the YMCA in Hoover. The staff are always professional and kind. I really enjoy Robyn's workout classes and Cindy's spin classes. They have the best workout sessions! I would highly recommend coming to the YMCA Hoover.
