Pickens County YMCA Review

Clean facility, friendly people, very accommodating. No elevator to workout room on top floor, no handicap ramp to get down to the athletic field.

I had a birthday party here this past weekend on Saturday and it was horrible. Never again will I pay $100 dollars to be rushed for 2 short hours. When we got there the kid that was working didn't seem friendly. I don't even know his name, he didn't tell me. He didn't introduce himself and I seen him help my friend with one table cloth. Other then that he stood there making it feel really uncomfortable. Before my guest could even get there, literlly at 2 on the dot he kept on asking me if everyone was here. It JUST turned 2 oclock if that and only TWO of my guest were there. He was trying to rush us to the pool. And then when we did go to leave the party room and walk to the pool THE GUY WAS NO WHERE TO BE FOUND. HE LEFT US! We literally stood there bc we didn't know where to go. We walked up and down the hallway before a guest had to ask the boy who was cleaning at the front to please tell us where the pool was. When he told us where to go and we finally got to the pool the kid was in there just standing. Some of my guest had stopped to use the bathroom while walking through to the pool and when he asked if this was everyone I told him no people are In the bathroom and he kept on asking if everyone was there, Again Rushing us. When he was telling us the pool rules he has his head turned away from everyone the whole time and we could barely hear a word he said. And it seemed like he didn't even know what he was talking about. One guest said she seen him reading the rules off of a board that was hung up that said "pool rules" we could have read that ourselves. Explains why he had his head turned away. The pool was FREEZING and I would figure that for 100$ we would have a little privacy in the pool? I was trying to keep up with my party and there was all these people just swimming around with us, literally IN BETWEEN US LIKE THEY KNEW US. Very uncomfortable and weird. And all of us stayed in one specific part of the big pool all together and we still had starangers swimming us? After the pool we went back to the party room and near the end 20 MINUTES BEFORE 4 the guy asked me very rudely if we were ready to start packing up. 20 minutes, my guest were still eating food and cake. And I had to get my brother to stop eating and to start packing up and taking everything out to my car. Again RUSHING US. And when my guest seen my brother start to pack up they quit eating and was getting ready to leave. Bc i was RUSHED and bc my guest seen us cleaning up and felt obligated to leave I forgot all about my party favor bags I made and spent tons of money on and forgot to give them out to the kids that were there. AND 2 hours is not long enough at all for a birthday party. Especially when you have to give guest a talk about rules, and have them do "swim test" and then take the time to put life jacket vest on every kid at the party! The YMCA needs to do better with the time frame they give for a party and they need to choose wisely the employees they pick to "help with the party's" HORRIBLE experience and I am upset that EVERYONE at my daughters party said how bad the party was going. That is not how a patry should be and guest should not leave a party saying bad things about the party.

My vehicle has been hit twice in their parking lot. The second time they had the lady's picture on camera, but wouldn't give her name to the Highway Patrol. She is a member and left the scene of an accident, after telling a witness she was going to look for the owner. Then she took off. Low class.

Very comfortable atmosphere , friendliness from the moment you enter the doors. Amazing new pool, which is heated. Nice clean workout stations , treadmills, ellipticals, stair climber, stationary exercise bikes, etc... also has day care for kids 8 and under while you workout. Along with many options to better yourself, with uplifting staff getting fit is so much enjoyable. . They have much to offer even summer camp for kids and young adults. Pickens YMCA is a fabulous place to join and be part of more than a work out

Amazing. There staff is super nice and helpful and the classes make everything so fun and worth it

This place is so amazing it is so well kept clean the staff is always so extra friendly I tremendously enjoy the swimming pool after working a hard day at the storage facility in Easley we are on property 24/7 and it is a great relaxing atmosphere for me to come to the pool at least once a week and enjoy it I would highly recommend everyone having a YMCA membership for their family best money spent

Great Christ centered sports programs. Clean new work out facilities. Nice pool. Great after school program!
