About
The Margaret Maddox Family YMCA, located at 2624 Gallatin Pike, Nashville, TN, is a vibrant community center dedicated to promoting health and wellness for families. It offers a wide range of facilities and programs including a fitness center with cardio and strength equipment, group exercise classes, two swimming pools (a lap pool and a warm water program pool), youth development programs, child care services, and various family-oriented activities aimed at fostering community spirit and well-being.
The Margaret Maddox Family YMCA features both a lap pool and a warm water program pool, both of which are heated. While specific temperatures for this branch are not publicly listed, YMCA lap pools are generally maintained between 80-84°F (27-29°C), and warm water program pools are often kept slightly warmer for comfort during lessons and therapy. It is recommended to contact the facility directly for the most current and precise pool temperature information.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? The Margaret Maddox YMCA receives mixed but generally positive feedback. Many members commend its extreme cleanliness, uncrowded facilities, and often polite and friendly staff, with special mention of helpful yoga instructors and unique features like fellowship areas and a park-like property. While the pool is noted as good for families and workouts, it is frequently described as dated and in need of an update. A point of concern is the limited and worn condition of the ab machines. One negative experience detailed significant issues with staff knowledge, rudeness, and incorrect membership processing, leading to a very poor impression for a new member.

The Margaret Maddox YMCA is the best Y that I have ever seen! The facility is extremely clean, the staff is very polite and knowledgeable about their Y, and it's really cool that there are obvious places for people to sit and fellowship with one another. The back of the property is more like a park than anything. Great place to work on one's Mind, Body, and Spirit.

I took a beginner yoga class there last night and it was a good experience for me.. The instructor was very helpful and clear on the instructions. The staff was very courteous.

Started new membership at Margaret Maddox. YMCA greeter stated I had to go to downtown and no city wide. I advised it should be city wide. She stated fine I will get my supervisor. SUPERVISOR stated main branch is downtown however city wide. Greeter has treated me horrible since and I have guests. Went to Donelson found out Margaret Maddox did my membership wrong and how they marked my guests. Never been treated so sub standard. Will be going to another YMCA going forward will never recommend this YMCA.

Beautiful, super clean, never too crowded and beyond friendly staff! I recently switched to this location from the Donelson YMCA, and the only things I’m really missing are the different ab machines. The only one (that I’ve found) is peeling from use and not very comfortable.

The YMCA pool is a great place for families and workouts, but it’s definitely time for an update. The space feels dated and could use some improvements.
