Body pump
I've enjoyed (whatever that means) every class I've participated in. Challenging without pressure and variations given in real time for the uninitiated. Staff are friendly, engaging, premises always spotless and of course the myriad other opportunities that don't involve classes.
Off topic but BJJ classes any time?
it id great not only have i have weight loss i have made friends.the Activities is just what I need for my body and mind
Micah is a great instructor. He is patient but kept my son focused on the task at hand. Thanks, Micah.
I think the children are the ones that need to have more access to the basket ball court and free swim. I appreciate the precautions that the Y is taking to protect the older more frail generation and I am over 65 and am enjoying the classes at the downtown Y. My grandchildren are so couped up and dont have access to the many facilities that I have. Its so unhealthy for them! I do appreciate the opportunity for swim classes which we will be signing up for but please reconsider opening the basketball court and some hours for open swim. thank you
I joined just before the quarantine, and have not formed an opinion.
More bar clips and bar weights please
Love the pool (wish the spa was open), we go to Spin class (only on Saturdays), and we workout 2 or 3 times a week. We love the Y. We know it's back to 100%, but we are grateful that we can go.
swimming
They adapt the classes according to need and community needs.

Community oriented,very professional and friendly staff
I love Y Warrior, I never get bored with the workouts and the community is great! We work hard and encourage each other and have some fun while we are at it!
The Y Warrior program is amazing. Body pump is a great workout.
I like the easy feel of the gym. Everyone is very helpful and friendly.
I like the friendly staff, the clean atmosphere, the variety of workout options, but wish we did more to advertise/market classes. We have data of who attends, or we did prior to shutdown for spin class with signing in, so why wouldn't we target those folks at least let them know of classes before killing classes with little to no attendees? I'd also reach out to other branches since it appears the downtown Y was, until next week, offering more spin classes, and people might migrate, even if only once or twice a week.
Other than that keep up the great work at downtown!
indoor pool
I love the layout and equipment at downtown Y! I feel like it has more to offer than the other YMCAs in the area. The childcare (Y Playhouse) at the downtown Y typically has a smaller class size and the workers are great. It’s one of the main reasons we choose this YMCA!
I like being a “silver sneaker”
Like the equipment, classes, staff and location of Downtown Y. Like the pool, hot tub and steam room. Love Body Pump classes. Thank you!!!!
The programs are challenging on all levels of fitness. Extremely clean facilities, not only are there plenty of wipes to clean your machine, there are employees walking around cleaning as well! This YMCA is the best gym I have been to and the reason I plan on keeping my membership as long as I can!
I like that the pool is open right now.
Love the group fitness classes. YMCA is doing a great job of following CDC guidelines during this time.
aWhile i like the sauna, swimming and steam, I have come to value the workout machines and weight room . The allow an efficient workout when you are short of time. I havent been able to use it yet but the ballrooom and country dance is great too.
Silver sneakers
I really appreciate the measures you are taking to ensure a safe environment vis a vis cleanliness. One area of improvement, and this includes what I have been seeing since the mandatory mask ordinates at all FTW YMCAs, is more staff presence on the floor to enforce proper mask wearing. I am seeing too much improper mask wearing; i.e. exposed nose. It puts members like myself who work in healthcare at risk of not being able to work.
I just swim and lift weights occasionally.
I have only used the aquatics center, and have really enjoyed the service so far! I have been able to aquire a lane everytime I have come, although sometimes I am sharing with another member, nevertheless I have never had to wait to obtain a lane even when it's crowded.
