Lots of classes with great instructors! The facility is always clean and everyone is very friendly
Great location. Beautiful building. Great facility.
I love the Aqua area. The Kirk Family Y is clean and the staff is very friendly.
I love that we have this downtown. We have had nothing for most of my life Downtown, it’s nice to see downtown being revitalized.
The staff is amazing. Kind and welcoming.
The people are super friendly, the instructors are great and the building is cool!
It's like going downtown to the grand hotel to exercise. The staff is amazing. They always remember our names.
Great facilities
No music playing across the gym. Friendly crew who works there. Patrons are there to stay healthy not to take Instagram selfies.
It’s a great facility BUT I would really like to be able to use the sauna from 1 pm - 4 pm. Sometimes my schedule puts me there after lunch and I can’t use it because the lifeguard is on her 3-hour break. If there was any way to stagger times with NKC so that a pool facility was ALWAYS open during normal business hours, it would be really nice…
Beautiful facility
This is a good place do you have a good achievements they have everything I need it
Not crowded, friendly staff, Dante as a trainer is great!
The hot tub, steam room and sauna. Their workout area is really nice too, I just haven't used it as often.
Que me gusta yebar mi hijo a la alberca
welcoming environment, great facility
Availability of machines whenever I go
Cleanliness of all areas
Friendliness of staff
Staff is very friendly, space is great, equipment and natatorium are up-to-date.
The only issue is the cleanliness of the locker rooms and natatorium—needs to be cleaned more attentively.
I like the environment. Very nice teachers/trainers. I would like to see more variety mid day classes.
We like the friendly welcome from the YMCA staff and trainers.
Lap swimmer......the hours are wonderful and the staff are very friendly!
The staff! The group classes! So large, bright, and well-equipped. Located downtown. Secure parking. Inclusive philosphy.
Great staff and facility, love the sauna options and LOVE the group exercise classes and instructors!
The facility is beautiful and there's always plenty of workout equipment available. My favorite though has been the water aerobics class! We have really formed a nice community with our group and it's something I always look forward to each week!
Great equipment. I go to a lot of classes and they are great!
I love, love, love Kirk Family YMCA! It is a gorgeous space that is well-maintained and the staff is lovely. The suspended track has the best people watching in the city (especially when everyone is going the right way 😝). Extra super duper shout out to my amazing personal trainer, Kayla. She creates new and challenging workouts that are personalized for my specific needs (bum knees!) and she is an UTTER DELIGHT. A++++! 10/10! Would recommend (and I am)!
The facility is very clean, the staff is very friendly, the location is incredibly convenient. It would be great if some of the cardio equipment was pared down to add more squat racks and a pull-up rig. Other than that, I love everything about the Kirk Family YMCA.
I like the location!
The downtown views through the huge windows make me so happy. The staff are always so nice and remember who you are. The facilities and equipment are in great condition. It doesn't feel dirty here, like it does at some other Y locations.
One suggestion: have more classes in the morning that start around 7:30 or 8, and have more advanced classes. A specific class that I would enjoy would be a heavy lifting class (technique, form, going for a PR type class). I think different levels of cross fit would also be a good option. Even continuing a running club once or twice a week would be fun.
I know there are the challenges through the app, but I think it would also be helpful and motivating to post peoples' PRs on a whiteboard or something for different classes. For example, in a Les Mills class, First name removed's PR for the lower body portion is 30lbs on the bar, or in the running club, her PR is a sub 30 minute 5k. Just some ideas.
People at front desk, building, lots of equipment, location. Least favorite thing is the stupid parking system
Love the building and the clean, modern equipment.
