Member Testimonials
I like how friendly the people are, how comfortable the environment is and how easy it is to be new to the gym environment without feeling out of place or as if you're moving too slow.
There's something for everyone.
YMCA provides many options for family and does well in staying open or just having reduced hours during holidays etc.
With regards to the rec pool, it would be great to have an easy way to see hours when pool is available outside of kids swim lessons. I am never sure when I am able to use the pool with my daughter unless we have a lesson scheduled.
Thanks.
Sasha's class is great! Body Pump
Lots of activities for all ages.
I like the variety of activities
Varied programs
Great instructors and classes. That said - please bring back Michelle G’s Friday 11:15AM cycle class PLEASE!
Very clean facility with friendly staff.
I wished that on Friday the other locations such as Tellepsen were kept opened until 8PM instead of 6PM to take up the slack since the Griggs Road location had to close to replace its rooftop HVAC system. I realize that opening at 5am is a bit of a stretch, but we got absolutely nothing in return for the complete total loss of access at Foster Place.

Amount of classes
Everything in the Downtown Y is great staff is awesome, super clean gym & pool area . Many classes & activities to get involved in. Best gym I have ever been to.
Quality water exercise classes, core and Mat Pilates classes, low impact cardio options, variety of weights (love that counterweighted chinup machine!), pickleball paddles & balls to borrow, the aMAZing hot tub.
So much to choose from!
Excellent teachers!
Friendly people
Water exercise with Mary on Tuesdays is a great rigorous fun workout!
Good variety, and good to see Downtown adding classes. There were too few.
Could you please be mindful of the toxic versus non-toxic cleaning agents that you're using? One day I noticed really fragrant, synthetic smelling cleaner as I stretched out on the floor in my usual manner. Normally the floor cleaner doesn't smell, and it shouldn't. Any use of cleaners that aren't environmentally friendly I believe go against the Y's principles. And they drive my allergies bananas. Thanks for listening
I don't participate in any activities or programs
I like the staff and the cleanliness of the gym. I wish they would bring the bath towels back to the shower rooms.
The Body Pump, Core, and Attack classes and instructors are great.
Love the facility and friendly staff.

Facility is terrific but the staff on the top floor staff seems to be just sitting around, looking at their phones. I'd like to see more proactive engagement with members, asking if folks need help, maybe wiping down machine that we neglect to. More engagement, more interaction. That would be useful.
Great variety of classes with lovely trainers/teachers!!! Clean and safe place too!!
I love the roster of group classes at the Tellepsen Y. I like that the repertoire of classes are offered several times a day & throughout the week to suit most schedules. The classes are fun, the instructors are great, the facility is clean & the Tellepsen Y has a great sense of community.
What's not to like?
I'm very pleased with my Tellepsen Y, & highly recommend it.
Outstanding pool deck and associated activities.
It’s just a great y
