Well it definitely is not a Christian organization. A girl just bullied me out of the club. Implied I was coming in free! I had enrolled there a year ago using what my Insurance provided under a Silver Sneaker program. The insurance made a deal with the Y for this to happen. I pay 650.00 mon for the insurance. I am sure the insurance paid them something maybe just not as much as they would like. Well black women approached me in the gym after a water aerobic class in the locker room! of all locations. Abruptly saying things that never happen about a conversation we had had. It was mean, as if she viewed me as sneaking in. Then ended with a , "Your not coming in free anymore". Implying that I was getting away with it. An insurance representative mention the program to me, and yes I gratefully took up on it. But was I getting away with something free -- I doubt it. The money came to them through a different avenue. And I am paying the insurance over $600.00 a month for this perk. Just a very nasty bitter person that has alot of insecurities to just slanderously bully seniors twice her age because she can. Shame that decent organization is hiring someone like that. Christian, absolutely not, but maybe it is with a new Trump like style of definition of lying and beating up on anyone just because he can. I left the locker room and two other ladies felt sorry for me, admitting they were coming in on their insurances. Apparently she was just targeting out me.

I called in this morning on a Saturday (yes, it was early) and spoke to Brian, one of the directors, and he hung up on me for following up on a scheduled interview. So rude and not interested in working for them anymore.

If Coach Charles was on Oprah’s radar, he’d be winning a car! He is so fantastic with not only our son but all the kids (all levels, all development stages mentally and physically). He has a unique way of keeping the classes fun and technical at the same time. He is very tuned in to his swimmers’ abilities to meet them where they are at —but push them to the next level. He is building life saving skills and confidence and passion for swim all at the same time. He’s incredibly nice and clearly knowledgeable of his craft. Charles is the gold standard for swim coaches everywhere. We couldn’t be happier!

This review is for private swim lessons at the YMCA. We left AquaTots in South Riding 1.5 years ago and we've never looked back. We joined the Y for private swim lessons (for our very energetic twin 5 year olds, who were pretty shy when we started swim lessons last year), and we're super happy with the decision. I definitely recommend requesting their assistant aquatics director as an instructor for your kids if taking private lessons (his name is Charles), as we went through like two part-time employees/instructors prior to, and while they were friendly and patient with our kids, they didn't have that winning combo of energy and focus that Charles does. I've seen him teach some group kids swim classes too, so he doesn't *just* do private lessons (but if you have young twins, honestly, private lessons are the way to go... they cost close to the same amount as group lessons for two, and only one parent has to get in the water each week!). Can't speak to the other swim instructors, but the guards we interact with and other instructors we see in passing on Sunday mornings are all always super nice and professional.

We have been members for 8 years and the classes are the best! Our kids have been taking swim lessons since they were 2, from mommy and me classes to individual lessons with Charles. Charles makes the lessons fun and yet teaching skills at technique to little ones who may at times have trouble focusing.

Would be an easy 5/5 for its facilities and amenities had it not been for one sour employee experience (front desk receptionist named Kenny).Recently was just asking for information of the sauna (which is currently not operational) to the front desk lady and when I couldn’t hear her due to mumbling her words, I asked again. Still murmuring I asked a third time because she said “I couldn’t hear you.” So I asked one more time and she snapped with, “I said there’s NO NEWS!”Don’t show that kind of attitude over a simple miscommunication. 5 stars/5 to everyone else working there, however.

In looking for a gym I know that folks all look for different things in addition to finding a membership price that works for them. Every single gym in Reston is expensive because Reston is expensive, but the YMCA is where I am a member because the monthly membership is reasonable ( and a portion of the membership goes to funding valuable community related programs), the gym is large and has lots of options for both cardio and strength training and also offers a nice variety of classes which are captured in your membership cost. They also have a basketball court and amazing Olympic sized swimming pool if that's your jam too! This is literally the nicest YMCA I've ever stepped foot in. Oh and it's never really overly crowded ... I typically workout early morning but I've also worked out midday and evening and it was never once crowded. Oh and the front desk staff is super ( especially Kenny ).

Great facility and front desk staff. My nieces come here for swim team! Great program they love it. Two stars was because of overhearing how the aquatics staff talk to their employees … heard one of them call them call another younger guy “stupid.” Looked 40? Not sure.. shocked me not sure how to bring it up since I was there only twice to watch my nieces. I would retrain them on how to talk to their staff. Doesn’t look good on their teamwork. Coaches seem organized and serious which is good. Might bring my kids one day.

I HATE the summer camp for my children. They expressed they can’t use the bathroom? Stuck in a room all day, doesn’t follow the agenda. It’s awful and you’re WASTING YOUR MONEY. As a former counselor it is so bad, the other counselors yell at kids, plenty of crying, basically playing board games all day. Incident reports don’t seem to add up with what my child is saying, I’m saving you money! Please DONT send your kid to SUMMER CAMP TRADITIONAL unless you want them to be bored and have bad influences around them

Counselors ruined my child and her summer. I saw my child having a fit in the corner because her lunch fell on the floor and the counselors didn’t care, they made her starve, luckily I was there to take her out of the situation. There was a false incident report saying “she was being inappropriate to other campers talking about how babies are made” she’s 6, I’m absolutely disgusted by the counselors spreading false information and showing favorites. HATE THE SUMMER CAMP

The locker rooms here look really nice. I'm happy with how clean the gym is and I always see at least one cleaner working. Their pool is huge and I've never had trouble accessing it even when it's busy. They have male and female steam rooms and dry saunas. The workout classes are great and most of them are included with membership.
