Indoor track and all the equipment
Group exercise classes are fantastic! The instructors are challenging yet caring and they make everyone feel welcome.
Class, environment
I'm only using the indoor walking track. My only 'complaint' would be the fees for the parking garage. 2 hours isn't long enough and $25 for 4 hours or more is ridiculous. I get it, space is limited, so maybe work out a deal with the surface lot across the street or offer a park n ride type thing.
Friendly staff, well maintained facility, very good location
the hot tub is always hot (that is good)
The gym is clean, the classes are great. Would like more classes including yoga.
The pool and the facilities and location of the downtown gym.
I love the motivation you get in the group classes. I also love the women's gym area. I appreciate that we have our own space that is just for us!
Alot of things to do with positive people and good energy. The staff is friendly and willing to help. Great efforts are put back into the community with events including promoting small businesses and youth programs. I LOVE THIS PLACE and I will continue to look forward to enjoying my experiences at the YMCA DOWNTOWN.
Good group exercise selection
It has difrent working sections "floors"
I generally go for the group classes but this YMCA has a little bit of everything. The different floor levels along with the cleanliness of it all is very nice. Only setback it the somewhat transparent glass walls in certain rooms when that isn’t in everyone’s comfort zone.
I am a first time gym goer and have spent years having anxiety about joining a gym and working out in front of people. I started working out in the Womens Center first and then migrated into the main gym. I feel so comfortable and welcomed at the Y and no longer have anxiety working out in front of people. The staff is incredible too and always lifts me up when I come in for a workout. I tell everyone I know to join. The space is great, the classes and equipment are endless. There is something for everyone and at any age and fitness level. So happy I found this place.

I love taking Les Mills classes at Tellepsen and especially appreciate the camaraderie with other members that has developed over the years.
My single issue is that some women wear sports bras but no shirts which seems inappropriate. The policy states that shirts must be worn, so I would encourage the Y to enforce the policy. Thanks for asking.
