Pool and cycle studio
The people are friendly and helpful
Clean & inviting
Very convenient
First of all the activities pool is always warm, which is good for old bones and joints and that is the main reason I joined the Fort Ben Y. I was a member of LA Fitness for swimming but their pool was too cold for me. The Fort Ben Y has people who greet you when you walk in and they are always ready to answer any questions you may have about other activities going on in the facility. Thank you for welcoming me and my family with open arms so we can get healthy together again.

I would like to see new virtual spinning segments in the morning.
I generally am in the spinning class at 5:30 and Les Mills has not added any new segments. But the place looks great and its great to be back in the early morning with friends!

There's a lot to choose from, whatever level of activity a person can handle.
I’ve been a regular at the Benjamin Harrison YMCA for a while now, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the overall experience. The staff here is absolutely fantastic—always friendly, approachable, and eager to help with anything I need. Their dedication to creating a welcoming environment really stands out.
The pool is a major highlight. It's always well-maintained and a great place to get in some laps or just relax. Speaking of maintenance, the entire facility is spotlessly clean. From the gym areas to the locker rooms, it’s clear that cleanliness is a priority, and it really contributes to the overall positive atmosphere.
The locker rooms are another area where the attention to detail shines. They're spacious, well-organized, and consistently well-stocked with essentials, making it a pleasant and stress-free experience before or after workouts.
One of the best aspects of the Benjamin Harrison YMCA, however, is the community. I’ve met some incredibly friendly and welcoming members, particularly during my time at the pool. The sense of camaraderie here really makes the experience special. It’s a place where everyone feels comfortable and supported.
Overall, I highly recommend the Benjamin Harrison YMCA. It offers a perfect blend of excellent facilities, friendly staff, and a strong sense of community, making it a standout choice for anyone looking to stay fit and enjoy their time at the gym.
