Member Testimonials
The egym
Friendly staff and nice areas to work out
I love the YMCA at SW. I just wish the track was open on a regular basis. Thank you.
My pregnant wife and I are really really utilizing the facilities - the track, the gym area, pool and sauna. A great place for family!
Everyone is very friendly, the staff and many of the members. I have been goin about 5 times a week, and I feel very comfortable there and enjoy using the cardio equipment, weights, pool, and a yoga class I've been taking for the past year. I have made some "friends" who I see regularly at the Y and we chat a bit.
It close by and clean
I love the Southwest Y. The people who work at the desk are great. I've told family & friends how happy I am to go to the Y. It is so much better that going to the gym at what used to be called Aspen in Fairmount. It's great that my insurance covers my membership. My only negative is that I wish OCC hadn't closed the pool, which is not to be construed as a negative comment about the Y.

My husband and I love using the track for our walks (especially in the winter months), and often use the equipment room. Staff is always friendly and helpful if we have questions.
Diversity of activities and people
It’s a great facility. Many classes, egym, pickleball.
It’s for all ages and capabilities. When I go - I see people like me - not super athletic but still wanting to improve. And there are a lot of people who will help when I have a question. And it has security features so I feel safe and can just focus on my routine. Also - really wide hours which helps me fit it in even when my schedule is bad.
