Its a great place to walk in the winter!
We live about 5 minutes away from the Southwest YMCA so it's very convenient for us to go there. We have been members for years. We do like it. My son uses the weight room and my daughter and I walk the track. I will say the one big downside to this Y is that the track is occupied a lot of the time. You have sports teams practicing, other colleges and HS's using the track to practice, various events going on, on the track. It's unavailable almost half the time in the evenings when we can go I would say. I understand that it's just part of this Y but it would be nice to offer some sort of discount because it is unavailable so much of the time. To tout the track to new or prospective members really not a good thing to do because of it's unavailability.
Love this YMCA!
The staff is very friendly and helpful compared to the other YMCAs in the area. Extreme clean which is refreshing!!! Will only go to the Southwest YMCA because everyday the staff greets you with a smile and a cheerful pleasantry since the other Ys are unfriendly and not cleaned.
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.
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'

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.
