Love my Y family!
I feel comfortable. It’s my place of zen.
Good equipment. Not usually crowded. Convenient location. Open 24/7
The heated pool, great hours, friends staff
I like the ergonomic weight machines on the 4th floor, the regular (not sitdown) stationary bikes with TV's, A personal locker. The Sauna/Steam Rooms. I did like the towel service; but I do understand stopping it. I would like for the laundry to come back with the same quality prior to the covid pandemic shutdown. My clothes were turned pink, twice in two weeks, so I stopped the service.
A nice variety of equipment. Friendly staff. Diverse membership.
Two things: 1) Great workouts 2) Great friendships

Friendly and helpful staff.

friendly and easy to get any issues resolved.
I love the seasonal spin class! The equipment is in good condition, and the facility looks clean. I can make a suggestion though. I recommend playing more modern music choices during the cardio classes.
The friendly staff, of course! Besides that, the incredible variety the downtown y has is a big draw for us. We took our kids to play racquetball, then mom and daughter worked out together in the women's center, and dad and sons used the track and 7th floor equipment. It was a fun, fit evening for all seven of us, thanks to the y.
Sense of community and fitness classes
Cleanliness n nice staff
Staffs are very helpful and friendly. Convenient location. Parking garage fee is very reasonable.
The only thing needs to improve is the temperature water in the pool need to be warmer.
Hours and wide variety of fitness options.
Yoga and cycle classes and the instructors.
The location. I live downtown and it is walkable. The downtown Y is one of the best things about living or working downtown. I also like the full array of equipment - cardio, weight/strength, etc.
The racquetball courts, the location, and most importantly the staff who make me feel apart of the family.
Only 5 min from my home, plus lane reservations for swimming
Great facility and friendly staff.

Where do I begin?! The staff is fantastic! From the time I check in to the time I leave, everyone is friendly and so helpful! Also, the facility itself is so well maintained and the equipment is all up to date. The immaculate state of the downtown YMCA is truly a reflection of the people that work there, you can tell they are passionate about what they do and the great service they provide to the community. The truth is, you could have the fanciest equipment out there but, if the staff is cold and uncaring, it doesn’t matter. I am a proud member of the YMCA and would highly recommend it yo anyone because the people there make you feel like family and I always leave with a big smile on my face:)
