The Kernisville ymca is a great place to go to the gym and practice and you can practice anything from basketball to soccer
I would not recommend this YMCA branch. The facilities are old and the cardio equipment is old and usually marked out of order. The membership rates are outrageous for what you get----if I'm paying $73/month for myself and to put my 18m old in childcare for an hour while I work out I expect top-notch state of the art facilities and equipment. If you're willing to pay such high rates, I would recommend the Fitness Center at Kernersville, which is a much nicer, newer place with similar amenities. I'm not sure why the Kernersville Y thinks they can get away with charging such high rates but hopefully they realize how unreasonable their rates are for the low quality of what they offer.
Great Water Park Free To YMCA MEMBERS ANYWHERE
The YMCA was a blessing at my son's school for after school but the Summer Camp is not where I feel safe having my child. They are only allowed to go inside out of the rain if it is lightning and 45 kids do not fit under a 10x10 tent. They only go in if the temperature is over 90!!! I pull up in pouring rain to pick him up and I am told he was inside to use the bathroom.NO HE WASN'T he was running through the grassy area with one shoe off to get his lunchbox that was sitting out in the rain!!! He didn't get to eat lunch because the counselors didn't have time to help him open his lunch while he was in a sling for a fractured collar bone from 6 days prior!!! Highly unorganized and not staffed properly to guarantee the safety of my 7 year old!!! You don't always get what you pay for! $130 a week for a member and the lunch that is included is from the Second Harvest Food Bank.at least let parents know ahead of time!!!
don't listen to any of these people this YMCA is amazingly cool it has the best Water Park on the outside, best workout place, a lot of basketball courts, a pool on the inside and out, Water Park is for all ages, has child watch where they can watch your kids why u go and do something u want for all ages up to 12, the staff are nice, you can take swimming lessons, thy have summer camp, after school, and so much more
Staff is extremely rude. It almost seems like the people commenting "STAFF IS AMAZING LOVE IT" are actually YMCA employees themselves, because nobody in their right mind would enjoy this group of people.
Do not join if you plan to use water facilities. Smug lifeguards lie about lightning strikes, close sauna falsely claiming it is part of the pool deck (there is a gate that is pulled down to close the actual pool area, which they routinely do). They keep showers open during lightning storm because policies are thoughtless and lazy. They rip off customers by not doing refunds on missed lessons
Highly recommend you do not join this YMCA unless you enjoy constant change from your routine. The staff has some friendly folks but the majority and higher ups are terribly rude. The sauna STAYS BROKEN. No matter how many comment cards you write, they'll blow money renovating what doesn't need to be renovated before they'll fix things like a sauna. The locker rooms are hideous, how about renovating those!? Most ymca's in the triad have up to date locker rooms and his and hers saunas/hot tubs. This one does not. Staff turnover is high. There are no mirrors in the wellness center to check your form when exercising. They repainted the wellness center to a tacky orange and teal color as well. They took away a chunk of the machines to put upstairs in a "boot camp/personal trainer" room that they say you're allowed to use "when paid classes aren't using it" wow, need I say more? It's amazing how much money they've spent in changing what didn't need to be changed and probably even more amazing how much money they're losing on cancelled and suspended memberships. Go join the fitness center near hopkins road or if you're set on a YMCA membership, check out the jerry long in Clemmons!
The staff is as friendly as they can be - a great lift to my day (6 days/wk),
and the pool aerobics instructions are THE BEST!!!!!
