Member Testimonials
I have been a member at the Downtown Y since January 2008.And I LOVE it there. However with retirement, I live much closer to the SW Y. Miss A greeted and explained the layout. She was incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable. She is strong asset to the Y.
The atmosphere is very welcoming. The instructors are top notch. There are many choices of activities.
Kidz Club! Really helps my husband and I get in our workout guilt free and allow are little ones some time to have fun!
I love the classes, its basically the main reason I signed up to pay more per month at the YMCA than I would at Planet Fitness. Karianne's bodypump class is so much FUN - she never fails to bring the energy and it makes such a difference I look forward to attending her class every week.
I would really love to be able to attend more than 1 bodypump class a week (I really need 2) but the class scheduled only allows for one "evening" class which is after my first shift work schedule (I work 8-4pm Mon - Fri. All of the other ones are during my work shift and none on saturday or sunday.
Every time all the staff is very friendly. The vacillate is clean and there are plenty of equipment. We have made many new friends through all the years we have been members.
The “y” is within walking distance from our home
The staff si good; the facilities are well-cared for; the atmosphere feels like friends and neighbors!
Classes, great staff
Great classes and instructors, nice clean facility.
The Southwest Y has one of the cleanest facilities and the friendliest staff around. I’ve been a member on and off for the last 20 years and I have watched Southwest grow especially under the leadership of Jenifer Roberts. She has done an excellent job since becoming branch manager.
The classes are great. The staff is wonderful. The facility is equipped, bright, clean and organized. Great place to workout with friends - old and new.
Everyone is very welcoming and the instructors are great.
It’s very clean and spacious. The Silver Sneakers classes are great. The instructors are very knowledgeable, thorough, and nice. There’s plenty of equipment, so no waiting for a treadmill, etc. All of the employees are very friendly and helpful.

Friendly staff
The people and staff are very friendly and professional. The facility is clean and you never feel out of place! You can work on being the best version of YOU and not feel alone.

If you can’t afford it, please speak to someone, there could be financial aid to support your efforts to join. What a wonderful way to invest in yourself. It’s worth it, WE are with it!!
