Member Testimonials
I’m a daily lap swimmer and really like being able to reserve a lane. It not only ensures that I have a lane to swim in, but acts as an commitment I have each day to swim for 45 minutes. These reservations convert what used to be “I’ll try to get to the gym if I get around to it” to “I’ve made an appointment that I need to keep.” Love it!
Nice machines
I am really impressed at how well the YMCA has pivoted to respond to COVID. I swim frequently at the DT Y. 1 year ago the pool was in marginal shape. This past year maintenance and upkeep of the pool has been outstanding. January of this year we gifted $250 to the DT Y pool in gratitude for a job well done. The pool reservation system works very well and I hope you keep it operational even after COVID. The only suggestion is that on weekends the lifeguard has a list of reservations. 2x this past month there were more swimmers than lanes and the lifeguard could not determine who was "breaking the rules". I suggest you don't post this entire response. Certainly you can post that I use the pool frequently and give it high marks. Thanks to all of the employees for their good work. Including Stacey in the mornings.
I wish that masks were required in group exercise classes.
Downtown YMCA is a treasure. I am glad to be a member.
Right now with Covid, the water programs which I am interested are kind of curtailed; however, I have participated in the water joint exercise program.
I do love working out at the Downtown YMCA.
I especially enjoy using the pool, the Dance Fit Class and Yoga.
My suggestion for improvement is to add more yoga classes.
I enjoy the classes I have been taking and the friendly instructors and the class mates I have encountered. Everyone is friendly and helpful.
I do miss the Monday night Mixed Fit and the lady who was instructing.
Love body attack and body pump.
Well managed and pool is clean and right temperature; Please open the downstairs locker room as soon as you ca; Thanks
Open and safe
Nice employees
The app is very user friendly, it's easy to sign up for classes and see capacity for the nearby branches and how many spots are left in each class. Everyone who works there is very kind and helpful. The facilities are not necessarily the newest and shiniest but they are typically consistent and worthy anyway.
Good weight room. Good locker rooms. Good hours. Nice people.
Love your swimming reservation system! All the effort that you have put into staying open during the pandemic is noted and very much appreciated!
Bringing my own towel has not been problem. Towel service is not necessary for me. You might consider dropping it after the pandemic.
One suggestion: A couple of the pull buoys in the swimming area are pretty ragged (maybe they've been tossed out already) and should be replaced.
Thanks for everything you do!
Swim lessons have been great! My daughter enjoys her classes and is really learning how to swim well.
The TBC Classes
But the cost of the classes are included in our monthly fee and you have some really great trainers for your TCB classes and your core classes.
pre-covid: you had good variety of class offerings and times which worked well with my work schedule. You also have lots of weight training equipment and stations. You also have friendly, personable staff. Downtown Y is the best one in Omaha !
Good hours
Good facility
Sense of community
The Y is good for me and many others.
I like that most of the additional classes are free. You guys aren’t anything fancy, but you have the equipment needed to get in a good workout, and your personal trainers actually know what they are talking about, rather than a meat head who just screams at you.
Love the classes! :)
Difficult right now but I keep advertising and dragging people in. Love body pump and all the teachers, Stacy at desk, and friends everywhere. When the coffee comes back and maybe the towels (?) it will be perfect.
Great classes and instructors!!
Weight trainers.
Love it.
But please turn fans on .
Women's locker room smells like mold very strongly.
It would be nice to get some circulation in the basement, fans would be very nice , the air quality us stahle down there.
Thank you.
This Ymca is a wonderful place to workout!
Andrea is very knowledgeable and patient with my kids. She is able to adapt to their skill level and push them to do more.
I more love the people and Staff! Jon, Rowland, Tommy, Brandonand the lifeguard Dayton have all been incredible! I love that the pool is now open for family swim and that my kids have a "Winter Time" outlet!
