### 4/5 — Handy to use

*2026-03-19, version 2.4*

This app is very handy when it comes to viewing class schedules and signing up, as well as immediate announcements. It’s a bit clunky, though in terms of some functionality- accessing overall facility schedules takes several steps and little things like when clearing past announcements, you are stuck on that page with no visible way to return to your home screen. But overall, it makes scheduling my workouts easy.

### 5/5 — Quick and easy

*2026-03-13, version 2.4*

Make sure to setup you home YMCA. It makes reservations for class extremely quick. It also tells you if hours have changed/facilities are being worked on. You can also pull up your barcode for log in. Very easy for 1 user. 

I wish I could manage my household. (Sign up kids all under my parent account) Also the tracking of workouts isn’t sync d to class attendance. So while I go to the gym often I have a level of zero workouts.

### 5/5 — Zumba

*2026-02-15, version 2.4*

Genial 10 de 10

### 5/5 — Easy to Use

*2026-02-11, version 2.4*

My family uses this app to find info on the schedule, swipe your mobile to check in and to book classes almost daily. Easy to use, straightforward and provides alerts. We really like it!

### 5/5 — YMCA

*2026-02-11, version 2.4*

I am really excited to join the Y and the classes are so good 
They have tons of options and plenty of opportunities to get involved in community activities

### 4/5 — A little clunky

*2026-02-09, version 2.4*

Convenient having the app.  But it’s not very intuitive.  I’m a Senior but fairly tech savvy and it took me a minute to figure out how this works.

### 5/5 — Dawn’s Body Balance

*2026-02-08, version 2.4*

Dawn does an amazing job teaching her classes. I love the choreography and movement sequences. Thank You!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-01-21, version 2.4*

Easy to use and helpful !

### 5/5 — Easy to book a class. Easy to cancel if you must.

*2026-01-12, version 2.4*

Booking and canceling classes is easy with this particular YMCA application.

It also lays out the class schedules for you so that you can see what classes might fit in with your own schedule. 

It’s also cool that you can connect with an online class if your schedule just goes haywire and you have to fit your exercise sideways.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2026-01-08, version 2.4*

This is my first time returning to the Y in a long time. This app gives a lot of information and helps make planning after work activities really easy for my busy schedule!

Being able to look at class options for the day and sign up/cancel is so convenient.

### 5/5 — Wonderful Workouts

Our Y welcomes people of ALL abilities and offers fitness and social activities that give all participants an extra dose of energy…from those who grumble about exercising to finely tuned athletes!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work anymore

*2025-02-28, version 2.1*

I can’t see classes. I can’t sign up for classes. The bugs make this app unusable. What’s the point in this app?

### 1/5 — App Makes it impossible to book any classes

*2025-01-19, version 2.1*

The app makes booking a class nearly impossible. Will say open for booking, and not have the “book now” option available.. or when clicking the “book now” option I get a immediate pop up saying session couldn’t be booked.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t sync

*2024-08-12, version 2.1*

I wait days to have this sync with Apple fitness. I’ve reached out to the developers many times. You should t have to connect and disconnect all the time to try to get the app to sync. I have a planet fitness membership and it syncs immediately.

### 1/5 — This app is an absolute piece of crap

*2024-01-11, version 2.0*

After updating the app, I can no longer login. My local YMCA has sent me a reset link at least five times. I have deleted the app and re-install the app and I keep getting the same error message over and over again incredibly frustrating an absolute piece of crap.

### 3/5 — Working great now

*2025-04-13, version 2.1*

Working great now but lots of unfortunate glitches previously

### 3/5 — Nice but unreliable

*2025-03-04, version 2.1*

Frequent error messages when I try to reserve a class, which is the main thing I use the app for. When it works it’s nice, but it doesn’t work consistently.

### 3/5 — Okay when it works

*2025-02-24, version 2.1*

The only thing I use the app for is to reserve group exercise classes. A large portion of the time, it tells me there’s “no classes found,” or if it shows the schedule, “an issue occurred, please try again later” when I click on the class I want. It would be nice if this was more functional as it’s really the only reason I have the app.

### 3/5 — Needs improvement

*2024-01-28, version 2.0*

With the new app there’s a ton of things I like, for example the group fitness challenges, viewing others activity, and the fitness tracker material rating system (wood, silver, diamond, etc). 

I wish I could refresh the app more quickly with stats from my Fitbit, instead of waiting hours for it to download that data. I cannot figure out how to change my “home gym” location and find the account/profile settings limited. I think the “fitness class” filter should have the exact class offerings (by title) that the Y offers - I find it difficult to find a class that matches exactly all the time. Could also improve on app crashing issues.

### 3/5 — The good, the bad

*2024-01-22*

App is overall very nice, but it logs me out randomly and then won’t accept my password. It seems to fix itself randomly, but this is very annoying when I’m trying to reserve a space in class.

### 3/5 — Not easy to navigate signing up for classes

*2024-01-17, version 2.0*

### 5/5 — The Best

*2026-08-23, version 2.4*

The Asheville YMCA is an absolute gem, as are the other locations. A treasure of an organization providing healthy recreation and fitness options for the community as well as support for the over 65 crowd, children, women, and devotees of particular sports, as well as underserved members of the area.

### 5/5 — Communication is clear

*2026-08-08, version 2.4*

Love the class reservation feature. I can be assured of a space in the class and get informed if anything changes or there’s a cancellation.

### 5/5 — Mostl friendly

*2026-07-12, version 2.4*

Once you get basics of how to find stuff works well
