Member Testimonials
Even though the facility is old, I feel the Y and its employees take pride in maintaining the facility in cleanliness and organization. If the equipment is inoperable, it is properly tagged. Free weights are always in order. Paper towels and sanitation liquid is always available. It reflects pride in the employees attitude towards their job and managements expectations.
Good job.
The facilities are more than adequate for my needs, so what makes Nuʻuanu YMCA so great is the staff! They are always upbeat and greet us with sincerity; they consistently check in with us to find out how we are doing, and I believe that they are honestly interested in our answers. I certainly feel that I belong here! Aloha pumehana to Ana, Dane, and others whose names I havenʻt yet learned.
A great location with lots of things to do. Very friendly staff.
I just hope the renovation they planned back in 2019 will happen soon. I would love to see the YMCA be more ADA accessible, as well as have private stalls to shower & change clothes in.
I also want to add that we need more sanitization spray bottles in the fitness areas
Friendly environment. Class variety.
I’ve been a member since 1966. Even worked there during college.
The sauna
Like all the classes and because they have pickleball everyday. Open for play. Staff very friendly and nice.

Nuuanu men's locker room - can you ban spray cologne?

Great in person classes!
Love the taichi classes...fun, exercise, and social connections!
Variety of programs
The whole staff when I arrive every morning are always so cheerful and friendly. Instructors are skilled at teaching small and large classes.
There is a high demand for some classes like Tai chi which more members are attending and enjoying the comeradere.
There’s a multitude of classes offered which interest all who come to the Y.
Love the numbers of womens shower stalls and many lockers.
Windward doesn’t have that many.
Excellent employees great classes offered
Teachers are great. Facilities need updating . Staff is great
love the Drum classes with Kenny at Kalihi branch. The Kupuna activities at the Kalihi branch by Renee and the pickkeball courts and play at the Nuuanu. Staff at Kalihi is great with Chona and Nicole. Very friendly. Always greeting us with our names!! Yes it feels special.
Cheerful competent staff
Poor new shower heads in mens shower room, no pressure, takes twice as long to shower
Easy Parking, non intimidating facility users. Those who come here come to exercise, not socialize. There is a good number of equipment and facilities and classes.
I also like the signs that remind everyone to disinfect before and after and most of all, the friendly staff!!
*I notice some people don’t disinfect the machines and are hopping around using several equipment at one time. Leaving me to feel I should not use it since it’s in their circuit of equipment they use. But I use it anyway because I pay for membership too.
Great staff and the members are very congenial. Tai Chi classes are outstanding.
Great weight machines, weight room and cardio room. Variety of classes to join and comfy sitting area in lobby. Lanakila cafe offers tasty scones and sandwiches.
The only drawback is the rest room facilities. Shower stalls are not always clean and the entire area is in need of a good deep cleaning.
Great staff, especially Anastasia. Equipment is good, not too crowded.
I like that's it's laid back and the equipment and the staff are very nice
Staff are always friendly
The Nuuanu Y is a clean facility with lots of equipment options and friendly staff.
