Member Testimonials
I always feel encouraged by my trips to Y! Friendly and supportive staff, great facility.
Safe place for my son
I go to the noon classes, body pump and cycling. These are great classes with wonderful and knowledgeable instructors. They make it enjoyable and worthwhile.
The warm, welcoming environment. The atmosphere is great. The stuff is always willing to assist you with whatever you need. If it's showing you how to work a machine or answering any personal questions/needs.
Everything
Nice equipment, clean, proximity to work. Good price.
The teacher Antoinette was incredible with the kids.
Friendly staff, clean facility, wonderful Walk 15 class.
Cleanliness, friendly staff, workout classes
Love the swim instructor, Antoinette. She is so good with the kids and makes them feel comfortable. They really like her a lot. I only wish the classes were a little longer. A lot of times, it seems by the time they get really started, class is over. Maybe an hour long class would be a bit better?
Very friendly and helpful.
Great staff, equipment, and class offerings - and you can't beat the $10 price
I like the convenience of having it here at work. Gives me no excuses for not exercising regularly . And the cost can't be beat!
Friendly staff clean gym and easy access.
The "y" has all types of cardio and strength training equipment. The staff is courteous, knowledgeable, and engaging. The "Y" has about anything you could ask for in a gym, and it is only 100 ft from where I work, so I clock out and make the 100' trek across the drive and I am ready to go. I love it!!
The friendliness and staff so welcoming! Made many new friends here!
Friendly an makes u feel wanted there. Now the one that's on 9th an chestnut!! I would never tell anyone to go too! There very very rude as well not welcoming an I myself will never step foot back until they change their workers..
The Downtown Y is very close to where I live. The exercise options and classes are important to me and to my husband.
Super convenient for anyone working at the park, great staff.

I just constantly appreciate the friendliness of the staff - I’m sure I’m the thousandth person to walk in each day, but their cheeriness hasn’t wavered yet!
Would be great if y’all could replace the 15lb dumbbells on the strength machine floor though!
I love the group classes. The membership fee is so affordable and I get so much out of it. I also like the welcoming and safe atmosphere. Having a women’s only section of the gym is great, but even outside that area I’ve never been gawked at or subjected to unwelcome comments, whereas my friends who go to Planet Fitness and other gyms have told me they’ve experienced that multiple times. I wish the downtown Y had some weekday morning classes around 7:00 AM. I do miss the variety of classes that were offered at the downtown Y prior to COVID, but I also understand there may be lower attendance at the downtown Y since so many people work from home now post-COVID. Overall though, I love the Y and I always recommend it to any friends who are looking for an affordable gym.
"Y" friendships continuing over the years. Regular classes. Great instructors. Wonderful space for women.
I like that there are lots of convenient locations & great classes.
I like the Cove but wish Louisville had a bigger outdoor pool with diving boards like the Cincinnati Blue Ash YMCA does.
I also think it would be nice if the Downtown YMCA offered shower facilities to the homeless for 30 minutes after the Y closes on Sundays (like community services you offered during COVID).
