Member Testimonials
I appreciate kids had a variety of activities from more academic to physical activity to outings. Kiddo came home both enthuastic and tired from the day telling me they were getting what they needed from camp.
I just use the equipment.
Family friendly and very nice employees.
The best thing I like is the staff. They are all so friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I live in Council Bluffs but go to the downtown Omaha YMCA because the staff there is awesome!
Amazing staff and programs!
That this location is the only one with actual programs/activities to offer outside the Y location.
Great place to play basketball!
Dear DT YMCA staff (Tiffany, Dan, Janelle, Debra, Stacy):
At age 74 my time left on this earth is precious and ... the DT YMCA staff
understands and accepts me as I am. I am an old bird known as the
Worbler because I talk too much.
Dan and Debra,
I have told Tiffanny how wonderful you are.
I will do the same for Janelle.and Stacy.
Stacy is a good listener and puts up with my gab.
At Holy Cross Church, when I go to Mass, I will remember you in thought
and prayer. Forgive me if I pray for you in German: "Vater Unser, in
dem Himmel, dein Name werde geheiligt ...
Blessings,

Swimming and suana
Everyone is so nice and always answers your questions and it's a very clean environment.
Everything
I enjoy swimming.
do request more yoga classes.
1.) I like that the downtown location opens at 04:30 during the week.
2.) That Stacy is there in the mornings and during the day to answer questions or help with with resolving issues.
3.) I like that in downtown location, the pool has many lanes allowing you to swim or walks laps and do a water workout.
I have been coming to YMCA for over 20 years. 18 wiyh downtown YMCA, and would recommend this location, 10 times over. It is my 3rd home.
Racquetball
not too crowded and nice people
The swimming is great
The new weight room is AMAZING. The gym is always clean, and there are ample machines, weights, dumb bells, bands, etc. I also really like that I could hire a trainer - and Matt Sundling is a REALLY knowledgeable, patient, GOOD trainer. I truly enjoy the Charles Akin YMCA facility.
The Y is always clean. People are friendly. Pool is clean and lifeguards are always nice.
I’d like to see the pool open in the afternoons and follow other Y’s and don’t have a 15 min break. Takes away from already shortened swim times.
Love the culture and location is so helpful
Organized program with kind and hard-working staff.
Different themes and activities everyday while still maintaining a consistent structure to the day. The hours are also very compatible with my work where I sometimes need to be there at 730 and other times can get there at 9. We love that she gets physical activity everyday.
Instructors are very good at what they do; knowledgeable and welcoming!
Very happy wkth my progress
machines
all is good...would like so see a suit dryer...swimming...nice people...
Everything. Especially the staff
Downtown YMCA has been amazing! Love all of the activities and fields trips!
I like the facility and machines. If there was anything to improve upon it would be more fans by the cardio machines. Sometimes it irritates other members if the moving fan gets on them. Also i find it odd that bathroom doors and sometimes locker rooms are always propped open. Also, have you considered getting ankle weights for members to use?
The staff is always great, especially Bill and Stacey.
I love having coffee available : ) on weekend mornings!
The facility is clean and i often see staff wiping down machines!
Have a great day!

I wish there were more aquatic classes either early Saturday morning or later afternoon or even for adults, because I am working during the day when the adult aquatic classes are & I shouldn't have to drive 10 miles on a Saturday morning when I pay a monthly membership & have a Y right around the block from me.
Also, I feel as if the downtown Y Tuesday evening instructor could be more interactive with class. It was my 2nd yoga class & my knowledge was nil. I feel like more instruction could be provided besides saying what pose was being done next, etc. My first class was on a Monday evening downtown as well & the instructor was fantastic. She was welcoming & gave guidance/tips during the class.
I know this is supposed to be about likes--I apologize I just had to get this out.
