The facilities are nice and there is good equipment but the people that go to workout there and the people that work there are not accommodating or friendly in the slightest. I had been working out there for 2 months when this elder man got mad at me for using a machine the normal way I would use one at any other gym (I was going 3 sets with reps and taking 15-20 second breaks in between). He was being extremely rude when I had done nothing wrong to him, and he went and complained to the staff. The staff members proceeded to embarrass and lecture me and told me to use e bands and and that I wasn’t allowed to work out in that area with out one (which I was never told when I joined the YMCA and I had been working out there for about 2 months there and no one had complained and had any problems before). This really tainted my view of the establishment, and after my membership ends this summer, I don’t think I’ll ever get a membership at the YMCA again.
Overall, I think the staff needed to have done a better job on informing new people about the rules of the gym, and learn to treat all their members with respect.
Love this place! The pool is my favorite part..any time of day or evening. Always a wonderful swim! Courteous and professional staff. The aquatics dept has something for literally everyone. Last, I have to mention the view..the open sky is spectacular. They do put a bubble over the pool when the weather cools off so we can still keep swimming all year round. Well worth trekking 280 for!!
Our family has been going to the YMCA for several years now and cannot be happier with the facility at Greystone. You are welcomed at the front doors with a smile and a “how are you today”, then when we leave we receive “have a nice day, thank you for coming” with a smile as well. The facilities are always clean, up to date, and we also enjoy the classes that they offer as well. Our children have also gone through their swimming lessons and now we can’t get them out of the pool half the time!
Speaking of the pool, every summer we enjoy swimming to get out of the heat of Birmingham! The lifeguards are so friendly, well trained, attentive and professional. I’ll have to admit my son and I have broken a couple of rules, so I certainly know they are paying attention! They greet you with a smile and on some days they even offer ice pops! We feel safe knowing that they are well trained and only have our best interest in mind. So lifeguards, we appreciate you and your dedication to my families safety, as well as all of the patrons.
Ive been a member of YMCA from Texas to Tennessee. When I was. kid I took every level of swimming lessons. As a college kid I worked in the afterschool program to supplement my education. When I was training for the Ironman Triathlon, I spent many rainy days in the cardio section. All that to say, I know a well managed YMCA when I see one. Greystone YMCA is outstanding. The equipment is up to date and clean. The pool is safe and fun with friendly life guards. When I had to have knee surgery and did not check in to the Y for a few weeks, coach Ruby called to check on me. That phone call really encouraged me during my rehab. Greystone YMCA is the best location I have ever been a member. If you are considering a membership , I say go for it! You will feel better even if all you ever do is go in and walk the indoor track. Who knows, you might get motivated to join an activity class or play tennis or basketball. This could be your year to get healthy. I hope this review conveys my positive endorsement. Givon Wayne
The Aquatics Director, Ms. Claire and Head Lifeguard Mr. Tim were incredibly supportive and responsive helping obtain certification for a family member. Great staff and excellent facility! Thank you, Greystone YMCA!
