Telford Community Center YMCA

I've recently moved to the area and was looking forward to working here after having spent the last three years working at another YMCA in another state. Positive feedback: the members and front desk staff seem friendly. Opportunities to improve: cleanliness could be better. The coffee station in the lobby has little fruit fly insects all over the place. The entire place looks shabby and rundown. There are no schedules or information available for prospective members. Reason I quit after four hours: Management is unprepared and unprofessional. I was put on a computer for four hours (after the boss was late) to do modules. No new hire paperwork, no tour of the building, no introductions to other staff. I was given incorrect information about breaks and hours worked. (I looked it up online and corrected the manager.)The manager had tested positive for Covid last week and was back to work already- hacking, sneezing and coughing all over the desk. No visible means of sanitation, wipes, masks that I could see. After the professionalism and adherence to company policies I am familiar with from my previous YMCA, I simply have to look elsewhere for employment.

As a masters competitive triathlete I search for pools in my area that I can gain access to as I manage my training schedule. I was referred to the Telford YMCA by a fellow triathlete. The pool opens at 5:00am Monday -Friday and all day for open lap lanes for lap swim. Clean pool, clean shower area and friendly helpful staff on the front desk.

Tried planet fitness it was a terrible experience ! It is just the opposite of what they claim the most judgmental place I have ever been. So I joined the YMCA of Richmond it is just the opposite everyone is welcome from power lifters to cross fit athletes or just someone who's there just to socialize. Love the place !

The most affordable gym around that provides childcare, but they are slowly taking away serves and raising the prices. The cleanliness level leaves much to be desired also.
