Member Testimonials
I love it all!! I like all sports, my son joint all.
I love the wide variety of fitness classes, the sauna, and the jacuzzi. The parking is the worst though.
Good range of workout classes and lots of charitable programs to help the community.
I like the gym area, its an open space.
YMCA staff is always friendly, there is plenty of equipment and classes, and instructors are helpful. Arielle is a great yoga instructor and really takes the time to educate her classes.
Body Pump and Body Attack
I don't really use the programs or activities, but I really like the gym area.
Its a good weight training facility. Friendly staff and an all inclusive environment. I wish there was some more space on the equipment floor, but I know miracles dont happen to create new space.
Everything is so easy!
proximity to house
variety of classes
Very friendly, many classes to choose from.
Everything. Security could be better
Everything
I take some of the classes. I like the diversity of the types of classes and times available.
I use the app often (once a week) to filter out yoga or Pilates classes.
So many workout classes, especially Barre, and swimming lessons
Group classes are Awesome. Keeps me motivated!
great facility, friendly people and staff ! thank you
What I really like about the downtown Y is the friendly and helpful staff, AND the group of trainers you've assembled. I have utilized one of the crew and she was wonderful.
If I had young children (mine is all grown up) I'd be a big fan of the summer children's programming. The crew you've assembled for that program is outstanding. They really know how to work with children. I'd avoided gym memberships my whole life - just didn't think I'd fit in in that environment. But the Y has totally changed my outlook and I am eternally grateful.
Now - what I think needs some attention. The time it takes to repair broken/out of service equipment. An example is the adductor/abductor machine, one of the "new" ones. In the past several weeks it has been out of service twice. The first time it was several weeks and shortly after it was put back in service it was taken out again. I know these machines get a ton of work and things like this will happen. You have a very popular place. But when a machine does go down, does it have to take weeks to get it back in service?
And the house keeping. I'm guessing most of the folks who workout on the 4th and 5th floors don't really care about the accumulated dust and grime that can be seen on the support beams and other surfaces when they're running on the 5th floor track. And I know getting cleaning crews in position to clean this up won't be easy...but honestly, can something be done? Please? At the very least could you check your AC filters or replace the filters with a type that can retain most of the dust and airborne particulate? Every time I see it it makes me wonder what I'm drawing into my lungs. Thank you for reading this. And I must admit, if nothing changes after you read this it's not going to change my habit of "hitting the Y." You guys have totally changed my life for the better. Honestly, I never thought in my wildest dreams that this old skinny nerd would ever join a gym and work out. Amazing.
Variety
Since I am handicapped, it is very important to feel comfortable and all the people and staff I have contact with are friendly and welcome me to the YMCA family. I am very pleased to find that kind of support in my pursuit of being healthy.
The facilities are very nice. There are a wide variety of programs and exercise classes offered that are open and friendly to all athletic abilities.
Excellent group fitness classes!!!
Activities are fun and informative. Classes are geared for specific needs and also offers social outlets. We look forward to going to the Y often and would definitely recommend it to all age groups.
The variety and the people/instructors
Mainly go for volleyball and it’s great. It would be nice if there were 2 different levels. A recreational level and then a advanced level. OR it would be nice if we had 2 courts to play on simultaneously for better play time.
I love the women's gym! It makes me feel so much more comfortable when working out. I also use your indoor track as well. It's really saved me from my allergies. Overall, the facilities are very cleanly, and the staff is quite friendly. I'm happy to have made this my fitness home!
I love the women's only room, the walking/jogging track and the indoor pool.
New acquisition of exercise machines!! Thanks for the upgrade!!!!
an extensive options of group exercises.
I enjoy the women's gym and the availability of towels, which other facilities do not offer.
