About

The YMCA of North Central West Virginia, located at 1 Lowndes Hill Park Rd, Clarksburg, WV 26301, is a community-focused organization dedicated to youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. It offers a wide range of programs and facilities including fitness centers, group exercise classes, sports leagues, youth programs, and aquatic activities, serving as a vital hub for health and wellness in the North Central West Virginia region.

The main aquatic facility (lap pool) at the YMCA of North Central West Virginia is typically maintained at a comfortable temperature, often reported to be around 80-82°F (26.7-27.8°C).

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The reviews for the YMCA present a mixed bag of experiences. Some patrons express strong positive sentiment, appreciating its range of facilities (including a gym with functional older equipment, pool, basketball court, and yoga classes) and finding it comparable to or better than national chain gyms. The massage services, particularly with Kelly, receive high praise for effectiveness, and the online scheduling feature is a welcome convenience. However, there are significant negative critiques regarding operational transparency and customer service. Complaints include unannounced closures and failure to update hours online, leading to wasted travel time and resources for visitors. Several new members reported issues with the pool being unusable for extended periods (due to cold, dirt, or disrepair) which was not disclosed prior to joining. These issues were compounded by experiences of dishonest and unhelpful customer service when attempting to resolve problems. Lastly, there is mention of the facility closing, which elicits sadness from some members who also inquired about financial aid to prevent the closure.

The Y is a good place for youth and alike. It is terrible to know it's closing. Is there anyway to help financially???

Was in Morgantown for work and wanted to go play ball in between shifts. Drove 45 minutes 30+ miles just for them to be closed on a Thursday. Couldn’t be bothered to update that on google or make or known not to waste your time coming here. Wasted gas and over an hour drive when going both ways. Be better about making people aware of your facilities hours on google. Even if it is only for a day.

Not a member but booked a massage here with Kelly and boy was it totally worth it! She did an excellent job and I came out feeling so much more relaxed and with the tension gone, I’ll definitely be coming back soon! They also have an online scheduling feature which is a bonus to someone like me, including allowing me to fill out all my information ahead of time. No fuss, no muss, book yours now and you’ll be glad you did!

In some ways I'd argue that the YMCA is better than a national chain gym. The machines and equipment are older but perfectly fine and in good working order. There's a pool, showers, basketball court, massage, yoga, and more. I recommend it to anyone looking for a place to workout and improve their health.
