Member Testimonials
Plenty of strength machines and plenty of space for me and my special needs child.
I have been a member for a very long time and met some of my best friends there.
The pool is great. The chlorine smell isn't bad and it's always clean. The staff are the nicest of all the YMCAs. The locker room layout is good with plenty of space to get ready. I feel safe leaving and going and really prefer this Y to all the others even though it's pretty far from where I live.
The staff are awesome. I really enjoy coming in to see my friends too.
I love the community, everyone at the front desk is so friendly, and I am enjoying the group fitness classes. Going to the YMCA is enjoyable and never feels like another ‘dreaded workout’!
Employees and volunteers are always cheerful and welcoming. Makes it enjoyable to visit. Well maintained racquetball courts and the fellowship with fellow players.
Group exercise classes and welcoming staff.
Friendly staff
Equipment and hours
Love how encouraging and helpful the staff is. The Y has truly changed my life. I am thankful to be part of this community and organization.
I like many things, most things. I DON'T like the broken jets in the swimming pool. I have brought this issue up to life guards, aquatics director, desk staff and head person. All to no avail. Two jets are broken (missing directional caps) and the large openings w/o caps cause forceful water to push swimmers into the ropes. PLEASE FIX THIS MONTHS LONG ISSUE. I think some caps were ordered months ago, but were wrong size. I think different jet openings have different kind of caps. Not all the same caps.
I've been a member since 1985.
It's the best gym ever. I love the pool, and the people are so nice. The employees and the members both. I would recommend this Y to anyone.
Great staff and classes.
Great staff, most convenient location I've ever attended.
The staff is amazing and the installation is very nice.
Having been a member of the YMCA in downtown Louisville, KY, for about two months now, I am more than thrilled with my experience. From day one, I've been consistently impressed by the friendly and accommodating staff who always go above and beyond to make every visit enjoyable. Their commitment to member satisfaction is evident, from the personalized greetings to their readiness to assist with any questions or needs.
A delightful surprise came when they called to let me know that the "Smart Start" program, scheduled for me on the first day of 2025, is included free with my membership! This program is an excellent opportunity for kickstarting my fitness journey with guidance tailored to my personal goals and abilities. It’s such a valuable service to have on board, and I’m exceedingly grateful for this fantastic perk.
The facilities are top-notch, constantly maintained, and spotless, offering everything a fitness enthusiast like myself could ever want. The diversity of workout equipment and the ample space available ensure that my exercise sessions are both effective and enjoyable, never having to wait or feel crowded.
The variety of classes available at this YMCA is another huge plus. There’s something for everyone, from beginners to seasoned athletes. The trainers bring passion and expertise to each class, creating an invigorating atmosphere that keeps me motivated and excited to try new things. Additionally, the other members contribute to a warm and supportive community, fostering connections that make every visit worthwhile.
Personally, the YMCA downtown Louisville has become much more than just a gym; it's a vibrant community hub that enriches my daily life in many ways. For anyone in the area looking for a place that combines excellent facilities, outstanding services, and a welcoming environment, I wholeheartedly recommend becoming a member. You won't be disappointed!
