Member Testimonials
Our Instructor takes time with each student/parent. It is a fun and engaging class. My daughter enjoys going to swim!
The instructor is great. He is patient with the swimmers.
My 6-year-old’s aquatics instructor is so patient and great with kids. I was nervous about how she would do but she’s doing so well, her instructor thinks she may be able to skip a level. Front desk staff are also friendly and helpful! Parking is the trickiest thing about this location but it hasn’t been a dealbreaker so far.
Hospitality
I can tailor them to me and my level.
I like the instructors and dedicated participants. The front desk staff is attentive, efficient and friendly and polite. The facility is very clean and orderly.
All I do is swim. The facilities are nice. Staff are friendly and helpful.
I don't really participate in any activities or programs at this time. My schedule doesn't jive with the times of the classes i prefer. I do like that the Executive Director, Maceal, is very responsive to requests from members like myself. I asked if an extra fan could be hung by the ellipticals and she made it happen!!! I also asked if a trash can could be placed in the women's locker room and she, herself, made that happen also. That really shows that not only is she a leader that listens to members, but she will do what needs to be done and be a great example to her employees rather than just sit behind a desk and delegate! She's a keeper! The staff is always friendly upon arrival and departure, especially Caleb & Bill! I often see staff vacuuming and wiping down machines in the cardio area and the wipe dispenser are usually full! Have a great day!

Availability to all ages, backgrounds.
Hallie and Dan have done awesome jobs working with us older athletes.
My trainer, Dan, is the BESSSTTT!!! He never makes me feel stupid, because I can't remember the moves (sometimes right after he's shown me). He is my TOTAL motivation...all i have to do is show up!
I would like to join some "aerobic" classes, dance-type, but the few I have watched are intimidating to me. Maybe someone (at ANY of the different Y's) would volunteer to help me figure out which class to try?
Also, I love swimming laps, but the chlorine is torture on my skin, hair, nails. Is there a salt-water pool available somewhere in the Omaha Metro area?
Instructors are very helpful for young swimmers
variety
I use the pool regularly, and enjoy it and the friendly staff.
cycling
I like the progress I have made with my balance and health issues. My trainer, Tommy has been patient and encouraging.
The Y is good for me and good for others.
I love the Downtown Y for a lot of reasons, but most specifically because of the community. It is palpable when you are working out that people know and care for each other. It's fun to witness the interactions and hear the catch-ups. Everyone seems to be wanting to helping each other, fitness and beyond.
i love the value! i was only visiting but when i return i will sign up again!
Need more updated workout machines, men's locker room needs to be cleaned more often. But overall, the staff is very nice respectfully and the gym not that bad.
The gym is well organized and run in a way that is open and not imposing. Broken machines and equipment are fixed quickly. The only criticism (REALLY not a big deal) but there’s no need to pump pop music over the speakers. Everyone has headphones. I get it for the spin class upstairs, but it plays over the podcasts and other music I’m listening to. I know some people play music on their speakers, but it’s not that loud in comparison to the gym’s speakers. Just a minor comment otherwise 5/5 love going there every day!
I attended Full Body Conditioning class at 12pm on Thursday. It was great is an understatement! I already want to join all the people from this group again on Tuesday. The trainer or coach was very helpful with my form and ensured everyone was motivated and on the same page with the moves. The child watch was perfect for my 4 y/o and she even got to make a craft which is her favorite activity!
Great communication about scheduling changes (which are few and far between)
Reasonable rates
Continued commitment to help the community
The pool is great, the life guards are really nice and I can tell they watch carefully to make sure everyone is safe.
Yoga
We need more yoga classes.
I really liked the welcome i have felt and the very helpful pep 'kickoff' by providing a financially free, very informative, encouraging and utterly helpful trainer to me to boost my low confidence. Thank you. I intend on asking my trainer to assist me by being my trainer consistently as soon as i am able to ask him, hopefully no later than May. Thank you so much for the first 2 free sessions with Mr. Tommy Distefano!!!
Well I like the gym but I just don't think it's for me
Pleasant - no issues - I only use the lap swimming activity
Great choice of programs and activities for all ages groups.
The Y is terrific. Currently trying to convince my wife to switch from her current gym. The locations are great, the facilities are adequate, and the classes and inclusivity are the best around.
I just wish there were more towel drops in the “Men’s Fitness Center.”
