Pool
I enjoy the camaraderie. It’s always a whole lot of fun at the bodies in motion class.
I have been coming to the Cleveland YMCA since I was in elementary school. Ruby and Rodney had me in child watch/summer program as a child and now they have my son. We love everyone that is apart of child watch! They know my son and foster daughter by name and he always the best time.
We love the family oriented environment at the YMCA. My husband and I utilize the wellness room the most and it is usually pretty clean, the mirrors could use a little love but its not too bad! haha!
The only thing I wish our local YMCA would utilize is a discount for foster families.
Happy to be apart of the YMCA of Cleveland family.
The staff is friendly and the facility is well kept!
The variety
I like the weight machines and how clean everything is.
Love the water classes. Excited that more may be added (Aqua Combat).
Happy with all
I love the Downtown Y! There is such a wide variety of areas, machines and things you can do. Our fav thing to do is to play ping pong after our workout :)
The staff is friendly and helpful, the locker rooms are clean, and the layout is well thought out. We recommend to our friends often and will continue to do so!
I don't use any of the programs or activities. I am a retired fitness instructor and I do my own thing ands make some new acquaintances. I have brought my daughter as a guest, that is a nice feature.
I love the downtown Y! I love all of the options for machines and the layout is super effective for big crowds. The only thing I’m bummed about is that there are so many virtual classes now. I have wondered why so many of the in person classes were replaced with virtual?
Anyways, we love the Downtown Y and recommend it often!
Variety
Yes 👍
The Y is my home away from home !!
It’s very good
Love them
I swim 2 or 3 times a week doing laps. My only problem is that there are only 3 lap lanes. Many mornings the lanes are filled and there are 2 to 4 people in the free area that seem to be floating about. I usually try to take the first non roped off lane for my laps since the floaters have the rest of the pool to float about. My problem is that they think i should pile up in the lap lanes and share. The guards, I am guessing, don't seem to see it as their job to police the pool. That leaves me to have to convince the floater to let me swim my laps next to the last roped lane.
It would be nice if we could have 4 or even 5 roped lanes from 6 to 8:30 in the morning since that is the bigger need.
I don't use the programs and activities—only the exercise room.
We mostly come for afterburn and childwatch and we love both!
Summer camp program

I like the pool and whirlpool as well as the weight center.
Variety, willingness of staff to assist
There are many varieties of classes to chose from. There is something for everyone!
Great staff, knowledgeable trainers [shout-out to Carolyn, Matt, Brandon, and Chris], and a supportive and encouraging group of members.
There’s always a class to take that meets my need for that day. It’s very clean and staff is helpful and friendly.
The exercise programs are really good and the instructors ( Nina and Ebony) are absolutely great - they make my membership a true blessing
never used any
The facility has everything one could imagine. The staff is superb and always willing to help. The community that goes to the Y is very welcoming and supportive.
I love the variety of classes! And the workout equipment such as the treadmills are very nice and new with lots of features.
