Member Testimonials
Group fitness and family activities
The staff and group exercise instructors are absolutely fantastic. But certain areas in the facility are little run down and dirty. Women's showers always seem to leak. The stairwell where we run for a group X class is disgusting--like it hasn't been swept in years. Members should be able to scan themselves in and grab their own towels ---- sometimes the staff is busy doing other things and you have to stand and wait.
Suggestion --- the Christmas giving tree. Maybe get it out before black friday so people's dollars go a lot further to help get the kids a great Christmas.
It was frustrating to get progress reports, but I understand that the instructor was new and that may have been the issue
I like your pool, sauna and steam room. I enjoy meeting new people and seeing friends from Butler Gast YMCA
I enjoy coming.
the padded walking track
The Downtown Y offers a nice variety of classes and programs and the instructors are great!
And everyone's friendly!
Instructors are timely, patient, helpful and friendly.
I like the punching bag/boxing area of the gym. I used to box as a teenager and enjoy going to the Y to get my old fashioned boxing workouts in. I like how it's got a feeling of exclusivity to it and enough space for me to dedicate my time for working out. I enjoy the fact that there are showers accessible afterwards for me as well after a hard workout.
I haven't signed up for any activities like cycling classes, but there's always a lane available to swim in, a treadmill to run on and a bench to lift on. I'm grateful I'm able to work out the way I like whenever I want.
Health Trainers
I live close by. I use the weight room and the pool. I have not taken a class there. I work out on my own. I wish you didn't charge more for 2 different women's locker rooms. The decor, tiles, etc. are run down and need an update. Shower area usually smells "funny". But I will probably still use your facility because of convenience.
Great free weight setup
The downtown YMCA of Omaha, is located close to my work, and has lots of parking in the area, It's convenient enough to work out over my lunch hour, and has excellent staff and equipment,.
Everything
I love the powerlifting room with the bumper plates. It is exactly what I was looking for.
I love the downtown ymca and talk about it often. I go as often as possible because it’s done so much good in my life.
personally I really enjoy the atmosphere at this branch. only one thing I would change about it would be that it'd stay open later then just 8pm. very nice equipment and staff makes it worth it though.
Pool access
The flexibility to work out at your own pace!
Love the group exercise, especially body pump.
I enjoy coming too downtown ymca...i just wish the Fitness area was open to every 1 nstead of paying separate pricing
