Member Testimonials
Your programs cover a wide range of activities for all ages and they offer the help and exercise for everyone. Thank you very much! I pass this on to almost everyone I meet.
Water aerobics/dance
We’ve been able to find open gym time when we come! I was concerned we wouldn’t but it’s been working out pretty consistently. I also love having access to the child watch for my daughter.
All of the staff and instructors are welcoming! Pool morning exercise classes are amazing!!
I enjoy the instructors. The downtown Y is more friendly and casual than the South Y. People at the South Y are more about how they look.
A good array of programs, with friendly and helpful staff.
I LOVE spin classes!!!!
Good exercise from programs and activities.
Very accessible
Friendly staff and clean facility.
The equipment is new and easy to use. The place is kept clean. I go there 4 to 5 days a week to workout.
I don't participate in many programs and activities. I love teaching yoga there.
There are classes in the morning, lunch and after work. I also like the classes on Saturday and Sunday.
We have four children 7 years of age and younger (7, 5, 3, 4 months). They love coming to the childcare at the Eau Claire Downtown YMCA! The workers here are welcoming and friendly, always so intentional with our kiddos, and the continuity and familiar faces really make our kids feel like they are coming to visit friends. At our previous gym before we moved to Wisconsin earlier this year, we were lucky if the kids would let us workout for a full hour. Now when we visit the Eau Claire Downtown YMCA, they demand at least 90 minutes if not the full 2 hours! We also enjoy and appreciate the relaxed, approachable feel of the entire gym. There are a bunch of workout areas, which means there is always room, including a pool, all kinds of equipment, a track, and free weights. We very grateful for this YMCA and the team here!
I love that you have a sunna
I love the way Bob takes care of the front entrance. He greets you, if you ask a question he knows the answer or finds out for you! If you ask for help everyone is there to help!!
I really benefit from the Water Aerobics at the Y. I use the machines sometimes, and I have been helped by the attendant who has suggested correct machines for me to use.
I attend the water exercise classes at 8 am 6 days a week. Love the amazing instructor and the feeling of community in these classes!
A Wide variety of activities from all ages
Group exercise classes
Instructors are excellent! Especially Sherry,
Lori, Missy and Barb. Very qualified and they run excellent classes.
I have only taken the water exercise. Friendly people in the class and very welcoming.
I like lifting weights.
Susan in the morning is the best.
Everyone is so nice and supportive and the classes are great.
I love the Y.
The Y welcomes everyone - and has programs and services for all ages.
Great facilities
I love to swim. The people are always nice. The showers are hot and many work well. It feels good to soak in the hot tub.
I was a big fan of the exercise classes but due to bad knees I find it difficult to do the stairs. I have thought about going to Y south but I have formed relationships at the Downtown Y. I just stay on the ground floor and the cardio room.
I love the variety of group workout classes - especially those that give a person a really good workout.
