I cannot say enough amazing things about our cycling instructor, Cassie! I especially look forward to Tuesday/Thursday mornings now because of her. Such a great attitude/personality, and her classes are so fun and scalable (and challenging/engaging). Fun music choices, shes always asking for feedback & suggestions, and overall you can tell she is so invested and takes a lot of pride is what she does. I can see such improvement in my fitness and Im so glad my friend and I took the plunge, got memberships, and found this little community!

Great place even though someone stole my towel at the pool. The only improvement they can make is to allow guests in.

The hot tub made some loud noise that made ME feel the need to get out. I pulled the emergency string thinking it was foe any type emergency. Apparently not. Its only for human emergencies NOT mechanical. Life guard guy was furious. As I calmed down from his arrogance I came to realize I shouldnt have done it. Mainly bc when it was all over and settled back down and one of the actual ymca guys came in, some older guy was sitting in there with the same noise still going on lol. Hey YMCA can u do another drawl string and label it mechanical. That way those coming after me could seek semi quick assistance for STUFF like that. I am so thankful Hixson location has the hot tub in the mens room. Oh how relaxing when operating properly.Excuse me sending from screen medded up cell phone.

I can tell an improvement in my balance from the Y classes. In fact, I slipped on the floor in a restaurant not long ago and I believe it was the Y classes that allowed me to recover my balance without falling.The chair yoga has helped my upper back and neck tightness and range of motion. I can turn around in the car and look in the back seat for the first time in years. The socialization is great also. Our classes pull us together like family. The instructors are really good and encouraging.

I can say nothing but praise for the YMCA Hixson. I had not been in quite a few months and when I returned still had my check-in card but I was still greeted with a very warm welcome. They are always so friendly and helpful. Thank you very much to the Hixson YMCA.

I love working out in the equipment room and weight room with other senior adults during the day. I dont feel out of place even around the more serious young people. Its not a contest, everyone is working out at their own level. I really like the ActiveTrax app that gives me a varied workout based on my preferences. The trainers have been helpful whenever I have questions. Another thing I like is seeing the verse from Proverbs over the entry to the weight room. After all it is by Gods grace that we are able to stay active. I am a fan of zumba gold as well. Its great having a fun class geared down a bit for older physiques. God bless. Keep up the excellent service. :)

I love the convenience of the North River YMCA to my home and I love the atmosphere. I use the treadmill, exercise bike and abdominal machine and I love them all. The staff and trainers at the North River YMCA are very nice and helpful. I would recommend this location to anyone.

I love all of the resources the fitness center has for being in shape - not just physically, but mentally, too. Its not one thing they do specifically, but rather the way they act and treat you tells that they truly care.

Great variety of exercise equipment and wasnt too busy with people. Mostly an older crowd which is nice as I find younger people are more annoying to workout around (noisy, leaving equipment, judgy looks, etc.). The variety of equipment seems to focus more on machines, some of which are very new, but some are clearly old. This is most notable in the free weights. The gym is separated into two rooms, a room with cardio equipment and machines, and a room with free weights. The free weights room clearly is less managed as the equipment is all very dated and there is a very limited amount of adjustable benches, there are only around 3 and the rest are set benches made for specific workouts. There also isnt a dedicated stretching/ab/you area. There is a small corner in the main room and there are large spaces between the benches in the free weights room, but since the gym is never super crowded, it is easy to drop a mat and stretch in-between the benches in the free weights room. There are also disinfectant bottles at every machine and towels provided at the entrance, very nice touch as even gyms like planet fitness do not provide this. Overall, I like the gym and the atmosphere. My only recommendations would be to slightly turn the air up/get better circulation, update the free weights room, and possibly get upright bicycle machines(there are only lean-back one).

Very rude at the front desk and didn’t care to help us. She kept saying she didn’t hear what we asked because she was to busy listening to someone else’s conversation multiple times. We planned on getting a membership today but left after her telling us for the 3rd time she wasn’t listening.

The North River YMCA has my thumbs up definitely and I’ve always enjoyed the group classes I’ve made a lot of friends there and a lot of rememberable experiences and enjoy the cardio room because the arc trainer is my next favorite one next to the treadmill and I both enjoy those cause I know that they are trying to work some Pacific muscles in your body which I need in my legs but overall it’s just been a great experience and I would recommend it to anyone

I love the YMCA in hixson! Although I was treated very poorly by a guy named Travis..... I have been in customer service for 15 years and I know there is a million ways to treat a customer. Honestly i rarely write a review but he pissed me off enough to do so.

Great Place,Staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful. North River Y is very clean since staff like Trainer Tim vacuums the wellness area and makes sure spray bottles are full of cleaning solution every morning. Support staff like Ester makes sure clean towels are folded and always available.Trainers like Tim and Elizabeth always keep a keen eye on those of us exercising to ensure we are using the equipment correctly or doing our exercises correctly. MX4 training class is an excellent way to be introduced to new ways to do cardio exercises.Personal Trainers are also available and very helpful. They can taylor your session to cardio, strength, back, balance, or whatever your need. Session usually last 30 minutes.The North River Y is a great place to belong, great staff and facilities.

Kids programs suck!! My neighbor’s child played volleyball here... Dear Lord! That guy coach... he sucks really bad. Sad part is, he thinks he owns the sport. Haha! I told her this was a waste of money. Luckily, her daughter isn’t interested in the sport. Chattanooga is. Terrible city. Not innovative at all. I need something for my kids to do. Sadly, something in my soul tells me to try somewhere else. Even if it cost more.
