Member Testimonials
It's convenient.
The instructors of the classes are great; motivating and encouraging, no matter one’s level of fitness.
Indoor track and classes with excellent instructors are big pluses for the Southwest YMCA
The Saturday morning Body Combat, and the Body Pump Classes.
I went to YMCA at OCC after not being there for quite some time. (Weather related}
I was greeted by a very nice and helpful staff member, and I cannot wait to go back so
I can take advantage of walking the track'
Thank you!
It's a great place!!
Clean and equipment is properly maintained

It has much to offer check it out if interested in your long term health….
Appreciate the Indoor track and the early hours available. Excellent local facility with ample parking

I love the indoor track.
Amazing Staff! Very friendly!
I love the YMCA at SW. I just wish the track was open on a regular basis. Thank you.
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.
Friendly staff, excellent track
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.

Track
I like to use the indoor track to walk during inclement weather. My wife uses a walker since her cycling accident and walking in the snow is not really doable for her. As far and I know this is the only indoor track available for her daily use.
location great, parking great. facilities ( rooms, machines, etc) are more than adequate for me. The entire staff, (Abdul and everyone are pleasant, professional , and welcoming.
Locker room and Shower facilities are adequate. except a lack of hotter sometimes.
I use the machines and the track. I just started the Chair Yoga class a couple of weeks ago and am loving it. Staff is always friendly and attentive. This Y is close to my home which helps also.

I like the friendly staff and convenient location.
Southwest needs to look into getting E gym. Southwest and Downtown are the only 2 local Y's that don't have it. It would be a very beneficial program for the community and college.
