The cardio room is small and almost always packed. The last 5 times I've tried to get on a machine I've only been successful 2 times. The women's locker room always seems to have a draft in it no matter what time of year; it could also use a revamp. Compared to the Harris or Siskey Y's women's locker rooms this one is a bit antiquated.
I've taken an array of cardio and yoga group fitness classes at this location (with different instructors) and have more often than not been disappointed at the quality. If I'm not breaking a sweat 20 minutes into a cardio dance class, something is wrong w the instructor/routine.
A definite plus side to this Y is its location. Actually, this could sway a health and fitness seeker one of two ways - passing by NoDa's restaurants and bars can either motivate you to earn that reward meal/drink or it can cause you to skip a scheduled workout session to sooner enjoy said meal/drink.
Not my fave Y in town but it's also not my least fave.
