The staff are very friendly and go out of their way to greet you as you check in. If they don’t have the answer to your question, they will find someone who does.
The fitness staff are excellent as well. They provide excellent personal training, group fitness classes, and Pilate Reformer classes.
Absolutely love the vibe at the Capital YMCA ❤️
Very Clean environment, new workout equipment, land a great outdoor lap swimming pool.
Peaceful, clean
Hot tub
Uncrowded. No loud music or distracting screens. A variety of equipment in excellent condition (mostly new)
The gym is quiet and never too empty! There's a lot of classes offered (except when I was there last Sunday I saw a friend whose zumba class appears to have been canceled). I also love the reformer pilates classes, though I wish there were more classes offered at 6pm (5:30 is a bit quick for me to get to after work).
Very nice and clean gym. I love Pilates reformer and am looking forward to more classes.
Staff was great - friendly and helpful! Pool was great! Everything was clean and well maintained.
Great teachers in fitness classes
Friendly atmosphere, always providing plenty of recreational activities. I love playing pickleball multiple times weekly, and using the weight room three times a week.
I really appreciate the new equipment, friendly staff, and easy access to what I need.
The staff was welcoming and the lifeguard was very nice in her comments that I had been swimming better since I kept coming there. The only problem I saw was that the hot tub really wasn't hot. The jacuzzi was cold and that would have been nice to have that luxury to enjoy that.
The staff is open, friendly, and responsive. Not only is the equipment excellent, but the Pilates instructors are top of the line. The Spa situation is challenging, but it seems the Y is addressing those challenges
I enjoy swimming in the pool. The people are very nice and the lifeguards are kind.

The pool: cleanliness, lifeguards, uniqueness of design.
Group fitness classes, esp mat Pilates and Yin yoga.
Convenience to my apartment.
Quiet.
Clean.
Great amenities and clean. Love the outdoor pool
I appreciate the friendly vibe of the Central YMCA. This starts with the front desk staff, who are friendly and helpful. The Group Exercise instructors are knowledgeable, professional and make the classes accessible to all. Finally, the members of this Y are friendly ... they talk before and after class, they ask where you were if you miss a class and they make everyone feel welcome.
Love the facility and the pool which I primarily use. Parking is a real problem though
Love the Pilates reformers. The new group workout room is awesome. Love the new pool. Clean bathrooms and showers are a nice alternative to the old facilities on W street.
The staff, the variety of activities
Very clean, great equipment, atmosphere is great, assorted classes going on daily
Practicing tai chi in the large room upstairs- all the mirrors help
Love all the workout equipment, the space, and how friendly all of the YMCA associates are!
Clean. Not crowded. Very nice equipment.
