Polite and professional
Hi. I visited recently before work and needed to shower after class. There was a member with a well behaved large dog that was laying in the shower stall. No service animal identification. Very unacceptable but it must be allowed as it happened. Love the fitness classes and instructors are friendly and knowledgeable.
I love the men’s fitness center. Having a men’s only area with a dry sauna is absolutely wonderful. Having towels available is also one of the leading reasons to recommend the downtown Y. Without these amenities the Y would be just another gym.
Great people- top to bottom, Staff and Members! Always clean and welcoming place to get a workout in. Steam and Sauna are well kept and dependable.
People are friendly -- a home away from home
I've been a member for nearly 20 years. The men's locker room, and particularly the showers, have been in need of update and/or repair for that entire time. It only gets worse with time. While I am accustomed to it, I wouldn't recommend it to a friend looking for a workout venue. Additionally, I'm disappointed in having to provide my own shower towel. That service should be available for all members.
The kids stay busy! My daughter was sad each morning to leave me but she always came home with so many stories of all the fun she had during the day!
My YMCA experience is limited to exercising I haven't taken any classes. The workout area is clean. There is a good variety of workout equipment and it's well maintained.
I would be hesitant to recommend the men's fitness center given the decline in perks over the last few months.
Withdrawn perks which haven't affected my routine personally:
1. limitation of towel count
2. whirlpool removal
3. toilets reduced from 3 to 1
4. 3 of 8 showerheads inadequate
I am affected by the lack of climate control and the reduction of available lockers. It would be nice if the locker reduction had been accomplished with regard to the number of hooks in each locker; eliminating access to lockers with no hook followed by 1 hook, 2 hooks, 3 hooks and finally 4 hooks until the required number of lockers are made unavailable.
It causes me to wonder if further reductions in the men's fitness center experience are coming.
Very friendly, group excerise programs are tailored for your age group. And an opportunity to make new acquaintances
THIS YMCA IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE MAIN HEADQUARTERS AND YET IT LACKS SO MUCH, FIRST I DON'T THINK ITS FAIR THAT THERE IS A SEPARATE CHARGE FOR THE WOMENS LOCKER ROOM WITH THE STEAM AND SUANA, SECOND THE MAIN WOMENS LOCKER ROOM IS DISGUSTING, THE CARPET, THERE IS NO ADEQUATE PLACE FOR PRIVACY, JUST BECAUSE IT IS THE SAME SEX I STILL WOULD LIKE PRIVACY. THE SHOWERS ARE EVEN MORE DISGUSTING AGAIN NO PRIVACY, THE SHOWER HEADS ARE RUSTED BUGS IN THE SHOWER AREAS AS WELL. THE WORKOUT AREA IN BASEMENT IS NOT KEPT SANITIZED, I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANY STAFF WIPING DOWN OR SANITIZING THE EQUIPMENT
I like the men’s fitness center having a steam and dry sauna that is not coed.
The setup of machines in each areas
good people/good classes reasonable pricing
Very helpful staff, and the facilities are excellent especially in light of the very reasonable cost…love the pool
The facility is old and worn
Great staff and great facilities!
I wish your pool would be open all day
One way to improve the rating....remove the fragrance sprayers. The entryway and desk area are both overwhelming as is the cardo-machine area.
But many kudos to Nathan the trainer, Stacey & John at the front desk, spin instructor Bill, and instructors Dan and Andrea.
Clean and friendly environment.. not crowded!!
Great pool, friendly staff, good communication about closures and quickly address problems
I wanted to take a moment to share my appreciation for John and Ms. Paige at the YMCA. John’s dedication as Aquatics Director is truly outstanding—he treats his staff with excellence and leads by example. I believe he would make a fantastic Director over the Y.
My granddaughter, who is 5, takes swimming lessons and absolutely loves Ms. Paige. I can honestly see her staying in Level 2 until she’s 20, just because she enjoys Ms. Paige’s classes so much!
Thank you for having such wonderful staff who make a real difference for families.
I have encouraged coworkers and friends to try out the Downtown Y
Right now, at the downtown YMCA there are several air fresheners which seem laden with chemicals and make it difficult to breathe while working out. I don’t know what it is that I’m ingesting when those air fresheners go off, but they don’t seem healthy!
I love all the people at the Y. Only suggestion is that there are more 5, 8, 10, 12 lbs hand weights.
I appreciate the variety in activities. I feel like my child is safe there. The counselors seem to keep a good eye on everyone and ensure everyone is being treated well.
