Convenient time and location, friendly staff
Thank you for having me as a member of the YMCA.
At age 72, with visual impairment and no driver's license, I appreciate the
proximity of the Metro Area Transit #15 bus line to both my home near
Center St. and the YMCA on Howard St.
I utilize the exercise equipment but don't use the free weights.
I have memorized my login and it's nice that the front desk attendant
will allow me to verbalize my code to obtain entry when I don't have
my pass.

Stacy is a great at the front desk, she is always so helpful and knows everything you could possibly ask.

The downtown Omaha YMCA is convenient to access, and has a good variety of equipment to stay fit. There's also a lap pool that has open lanes much of the day.

They did such a great job with my 3 year old during water acclimation. He was so scared they let him throw the diving rings over and over while he stood far enough to not even touch the water. Through gentle coaching and allowing him to only do want he was comfortable with he jumped into the water! He had so much fun I was so proud of him and grateful for the teachers showing so much care and attention.
Staff and the patience that everyone has to make sure your pleased especially Dan, one of the instructors and Stacey, front desk clerk.
We started here in February of 2018 to prepare for my knee surgery. We joined the Aqua-joints class. I believe that the exercise was a big factor in my recovery after a total knee replacement. We have continued with this class since then. In may of 2022, I had my other knee replacement and in 6 weeks I was released from by surgeon to return to the class. We currently have the class 5 days a week from 10 am to 10:45 am. We have people coming and going, but remain around 12 regulars.
I have not yet got involved with any activities. I only do weight lifting at this time; however, I am Interested in taking the cycling classes.
Lots of individual attention
I just use the pool. I really like the guards there. Also, the pool water is perfect.
I like the aquatics.
Like the new - tech driven equipment. The staff is very interactive & helpful.
I am now older and use the equipment to try to remain active and healthy. The down town YMCA is near my work and my home. It is convenient and affordable.
The instructors are phenomenal! Cayden is so patient with my son and really pushes him to excel
