Reply to comment by yentle-the-nimble in YMCA or Cary St. gym—better evening swimming experience? by kwisque

Thanks! Yeah, I’m talking about the Franklin St. YMCA, edited to clarify. My understanding is that the VCU gym on Cary is open to “community” memberships for a higher price.

Yeah I’m a member and have no affiliation to the school and you just pay the community price. It’s worth it imo. I go at 6am and the pools usually have like 1-2 people in them. Prob more busy in the evening. I know they have tennis court signups to reserve them, they might have the same for lanes?

No problem! I did a single month membership before I joined to make sure I liked it, and then signed up for the year, which gives a discount over the monthly. I can’t recommend it enough. Place is super clean and they have classes baked into the cost of membership. Best gym I’ve been to by a longshot.
