This nice new facility replaces the Ballantyne Village YMCA. I like the bright & airy open spaces of this building. There are some outdoor workout areas here as well as an exercise room that opens up to allow for sunlight & fresh air.
Downstairs you will find free weights as well as some machines....and upstairs you will find plenty of exercise equipment including treadmills and elliptical machines. Both floors have rooms that are used for Pilates and Yoga classes. Speaking of classes, I have not yet attended any classes here, but am looking forward to getting back into Yoga and Pilates.
For people like me who need a little extra help & motivation in my fitness journey, they offer various personal training packages. I am looking forward to signing up for one so that I can get a little extra help in jump-starting a new fitness program!
The locker room is a bit on the small side compared some of the larger Ys, but the lockers are nice - both full size and half size lockers are available. Unfortunately, towel service is not included in your membership, but is available for an extra fee.
They have not yet opened up the cafe but once it opens, it will be nice to have a convenient place to grab a salad or smoothie after a lunch-time workout!
I really was hoping that they would have a pool at this facility, but unfortunately, no such luck. Oh well, it's still a nice facility and I am glad that this is right behind my office so I have no more excuses not to go for a workout during lunch or after work!
