Member Testimonials
We need at least one of the following: more shoulder and chest machines, more abs machines & more adductor/abductor machines.
Great programs and activities.
Body pump
Everything
The gym is so well cared for, the staff is friendly and helpful and the workout trainer I found to teach this old man the best way to work out was the best. I had never joined a Y and had not ever connected with anyone to teach me the workout procedures. I’m am forever grateful to have discovered the downtown YMCA!
Teachers are great.
Staff is friendly and very helpful.
Facility is clean and well-equipped.
I like the machines, cleanliness, and the atmosphere. Pilates and yoga classes are pretty good.
But I get very frustrated when I’m trying to work out after work and people hog the machines for a long time. We have four of the same machines at the Downtown Y and I couldn’t get on one for like 20 minutes. You need to put up signs that say people need to rotate in other people on the machines and only take two minute breaks in between sets. Your employees need to remind people that scrolling on your phone for 10 minutes between sets is not appropriate.
I like the sauna the steam room and the jacuzzi and the swimming pool
Hello Manager, I just wanted to share that, I really enjoy the silver sneakers and the swim exercise classes at the gym. If possible, I would love to see more water aerobics to improve fitness. Aquatic therapy used for recovery join pain or rehabilitation. Walking in the pool for low- impact exercise, great for joints and beginner. Thank you
The staff are always pleasant and helpful. Also, the facility is clean and well maintained.
There are a wide variety of programs for all ages , schedules & abilities .
You can do your own thing or join classes or groups OR do both

Generally, EXCELLENT CLASSES and EXCELLENT INSTRUCTORS
Variety. Evening classes after work with childcare available. Snack bar. My older kids can make choices on their own
Yolanda is great. Makes me want to come to class
My only problem is in the men's locker room on the first floor. Virtually all of the long lockers in this room have locks on them. These are the long lockers with wide bottoms. On October first, I had to lay out because of a heart condition. Most of these particular lockers were available at that time. When I returned in mid November, virtually all of these these lockers were unavailable at that time. It is difficult for me to understand the reason for the policy change regarding the availability of these lockers.
I’ve used only the pool and I’m very favorably impressed. Bravo!
Flexibility, variety, dedicated instructors
Program is great, at moment no active in activities, due to an injury!
Love the Yoga Aquatics and we need more than just 1 class a week. There are times I cannot make it on Friday. More often than not, the instructor is turning away peeps bc class is full and this water exercise is gentle on senior bones!
Please consider!!
Yvonne Saunders welcomed us so warmly with open arms from our first day and class upon joining. She has taken us under her wing, helping us gain the strength and balance which we were seeking, and her guidance and sincere concern for us keep motivating us to achieve higher goals every day. Her classes in addition to our private training sessions with her have allowed us to achieve and exceed the goals we set out at the beginning
Regular wellness and Zumba dance programs for older adults.
Everything!
I like the flexibility of different programs at different times.
Programs are a waste of time. I only use the gym. Bring back the towels.
Treadmill and back stretcher machines
They are well organized and family friendly, The atmosphere is so wonderful and refreshing.
Absolutely love all the aqua classes either in the warm pool or lap pool! Yvonne and Mary are great instructors who motivate us, play good music and lead us in very beneficial water exercises! Also a big shout out to all the lifeguards who keep us safe, well and happy! It has made a big difference in my daily life and well-being!
I come mainly for Sharon and Melody's yoga classes on weekends. The classes are top level and I tell all my friends about them.
The group classes
Very organized
