Member Testimonials
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.
People are friendly, respectful…pool is well maintained and hours good for lap swimming.
Ps: I would love to see signage on the door entering the locker rooms, and perhaps inside that cell phone use is prohibited by the YMCA policy.
It’s a bit unnerving to be showering or changing clothes and have people on their phones… Thank you very much I enjoyed the downtown why?
I got to take advantage of the 4 weeks of training when you start with the ymca and Rowan is an awesome trainer! He was able to set me up with a plan that was simple and easy to follow
Convenience
I like coming to train with Dan and learning the correct way to use the equipment and proper technique. I haven’t participated in a class, yet.
I was working out one day and a Y staffer asked how I was doing! We got to talking and we told each other’s war stories(health issues) - he connected me with the LIVESTRONG program. Sometimes I don’t feel seen - or that I matter. The Y staffer really helped me feel like I matter.
Love the swimming pool and the friendly staff!
Rowan class and friendly child watch staffs
The Mission Statement is everything.
I wish they had more classes- I love the instructors
Clean, well behaved kids. I also like how often you have open gym and open swim.
It’s a nice clean place to work out. I just wish they were playing music like they used to.
Instructors and trainers are very knowledgeable, Classes are well run, well structured.
Work out area is spacious, clean and well stocked with equipment. Broken equipment is repaired in a timely manner.
I like the small class size. Just wish you had a swimsuit dryer in the locker room.
