“We had such a great experience with our home study process with FLS! Start to finish we got fully approved to adopt with FLS in four months. Communication with our caseworker was thorough and readily available. We always understood where we were in the process, and how many steps we had left. We feel like we have actually been trained and better prepared to be parents because of everything FLS has done to equip us in this process!”
“This is probably my favorite YMCA. I am originally from the West Coast and have been to YMCAs in 15+ states. This one is TOP notch.
The location is clean and the staff seem to really love their jobs. I use the sauna, which is always clean. The work out equipment (weights and cardio equipment) is great. We have various options for working muscle groups or getting a good cardio sweat. Again, everything in these areas are so clean. Zumba, Yoga, Body Pump/Functional Fitness -- they are all phenomenal classes. The instructors seem happy to be present and motivated to make all of us work! I've heard great things (while sitting in the sauna) from the gals who participate in the water based classes but have yet to try it out. On weekends sometimes I bring kiddos to play in the indoor pool which has a slide and water dumping buckets (check the schedule for exact time these are open); it's a HIT.
I know I've mentioned it but the staff here love their jobs and it plays out wonderfully when you have a question about a sore muscle group, new exercise or even a lost water bottle. Everyone is helpful and engaged.
GREAT place to exercise and connect with people in our community. 5 stars!”
“I recently had a fantastic experience with Downtown Lynchburg Association that truly highlighted their exceptional customer service. I encountered an issue with a purchase, and their team went above and beyond to make things right. Becca’s swift and generous response turned a frustrating situation into a positive one. This kind of dedication to customer satisfaction is rare, and I highly recommend DLA for its outstanding service.
Thank you for going the extra mile!”
“The Staff and Volunteers of Parkview genuinely care about the community they serve. Friendly, kind, and generous with that which they have to steward. Also a great place to volunteer, donate, or contribute to our city.”
“Great people doing great work! It is an incredible place to volunteer and support. The staff here really believes everyone deserves a safe and affordable place to call home. Greater Lynchburg Habitat for Humanity, works with volunteers, donors, and partners to rally around families within our community and help them build and own a home they can feel proud of and secure in. Families are able to get access to the resources, education, and skills they need to be independent, successful homeowners.”
“Adopted a cat today and was so impressed with the helpfulness and professionalism of Hannah at the desk. Thanks! We are here quite often and all the staff and volunteers do so well caring for the animals and they keep the place clean. Can’t be easy.”
“JFC has been a tremendous help to our family. The staff there are great, grateful for the LU students who help there as well. There summer program is much great. They have plenty of activities and accountability for children to do well in school.”
“Amazing staff and the campus is beautiful. Mind if you are going here it is Private. You will need to check in with the front desk. It's a beautiful campus, again its PRIVATELY OWNED-----> They run many programs out of this location that work with the local people, and kids in the area. Lots is going on here.***Be respectful of the grounds so that they can remain open to the public. ***”
“I don't care what other people say about this establishment but it's too pricey for the things that are given to them to sell. You can always get a deal on one or two items, but you pay for it with overpriced things.”
“As an employee, I've enjoyed the incredible culture at PHFS for over 3 years - it's a place that values strengths and coaches weaknesses as areas of growth. The counseling has also been phenomenal for my children... Kayla rocks!!!”
“Very surprised by the cleanliness of the exterior and interior. Prices where within range and affordable for once. Goodwill will never compare to Missions Thrift Stores. Definitely a hit and miss when shopping Goodwill.”
“I honestly cannot say enough good things about this place, from the extremely friendly ladies on staff to the exceptionally clean rooms, I would recommend this to anyone needing to stay close to the hospital. My husband and I stayed at the hotel for almost a week during a very difficult time for our family, and the staff was so understanding and kind and that made an extremely difficult situation just a little bit better.”
