Member Testimonials
Great Les Mills programs and instructors!
I have not utilized the Y's programs but I have been a member for over 3 years at the downtown Y and have enjoyed the 4th and 5th floors very much. The facility is so good. I'm over 70 years old and I had never worked out in a gym in my life before. The Y made that possible by creating the atmosphere and in the gym and filling it with reliable equipment. The monthly membership is affordable and I will always be so grateful.
I use the virtual room 3 almost every day to customize my exercise program
Everyone is very kind and helpful
I have been regularly going to the downtown YMCA for many years, even through COVID.
I use the weight machines and free weights. Very good equipment and staff.
The swimming pool and the group workouts
Location, cost, and the health options
I like that you are open.
I think you need to enforce the mask wearing more. Too many people are taking advantage of the lax rules.
Also - people generally are flaunting the rules - I see lots of bare midriffs. Lots of people talking on phones.
You have staff that have not been innocculated who risk getting sick every day because of your lax attitude to mask wearing.
I like having access to an indoor pool for lap swimming
The variety
love the facility
I think they are all terrific. They are varied, and directed to all kinds of people, for me the seniors exercise class. But the programs are of interest to everyone also. I don't come to many, but have liked the ones I have done, and learned something. Also love the field trips for seniors.
Love the great facilities!
I love the yoga instructors (Yvonne and Arielle are the BEST), the facilities are lovely, the front door greeter/scanner Jon is always SO nice, and the machines are always well maintained. I just wish it was easier to get a lane in the lap pool. A waitlist, and restrictions for people who make, and then do not attend, multiple bookings would be helpful I think.
The YMCA staff are knowledgeable and helpful and friendly they make it a great experience
I will be happy when the chapel is open again
The machines are kept clean and in working order ( and rest room) I will be happy to see the restaurant open All in all I enjoy coming to the YMCA. And open up the computer room

Of course many of the activities are limited; however, I am pleased to be able to attend yoga classes and recently was able to bike in the spin room.
Family environment...
All great.
I love everything about the Y and I recommend the gym to everyone. A few things:
1. Can you guys start to slowly extend your hrs back to what it was pre-pandemic? Maybe close the downtown Y at 9PM instead of 8? Extend hrs to 4PM on Saturday and open back up on Sunday. I understand the pandemic was tough for the Y ....but with people being vaccinated and returning back to work...the gym is packed in the evenings and it would be helpful if it was open an hr later.
2. Will you guys ever return to having towels on hand? It was an amazing perk
Thank you all for everything that you do! Absolutely love the Y!
Friendly Staff and a great location.
I always enjoy my visit at Ymca Downtown
I love the women’s work out room and hope it can open soon.años the pool.
Love your 4th floor fitness center.
Training and the warm therapy pool
I like the instructors, the classes, and the facility. Lots of space and options for different types of machines and workouts.
Everything is respectful and friendly.
The staff is friendly and I like how they clean off the machine after you use it. It’s always enough people and it’s always clean.
I really enjoy the les Mills classes and instructors. They are great! And I love the friendly staff.
I just use the gym equipment an si love the staff
The staff recognizes that everyone is not on the same level and they prepare to meet the needs of the entire class.
In Willard McGowan’s Forever Yoga class, the instructional agenda is introduced at the beginning and it used throughout the entire class.
The poses are introduced at the Begeining with a Diagram. Hence, everyone has the ability to mentally prepare for them during the warm up and stretching activities.
The aquatic center has been extremely clean since the COVID 19 experience. The staff monitors the activities and they make sure everyone adheres to the schedule.
