Clean facility, great classes (and if you ever take their power yoga classes, you HAVE to go to Marinda's class, she is the best!). Weights area could be set up a little better, but there is a very wide variety of equipment available. Great pools, awesome kids pool area/water playground.

This YMCA boasts a well appointed exercise facility complete with full swimming and weight lifting amenities all to the accompaniment of a knowledgeable and extremely inviting staff. When I started here I was a complete novice, but I now know my way around a weight room quite well thanks to the friendly and helpful people. I highly recommend this place. Try the Zumba strong and

I have been to YMCA's all over the country and the Jamerson Family YMCA is by far the best! Randi and the entire staff are always very helpful and professional. It's never crowded and all of the equipment is always working and very clean.

I love the Jamerson YMCA! The zero-entry pool is perfect for kids—it’s one of our favorite places to spend time together. I do wish the buckets and slides were on more often, but I understand that depends on having extra lifeguards available. The childcare staff are absolutely amazing—they’ve cared for my daughter since she was just 8 weeks old, and she’s almost 3 now! My

Towel service, which contributes to a cleaner and healthier environment, and frequently updated cardio equipment....the Downtown Y is the best facility in Lynchburg, mostly due to the recent renovations.

I worked and worked out here for a number of years. There are a wide variety of programs and exercise classes, and the free weights area is great, although sometimes it can get a little cramped at peak hours. They are continually working on expanding and updating their facilities, and I absolutely love the pools.
