Downtown YMCA feedback from Tom Last name removed (age 72)
During the CWS, I stopped three times on my way from my home at @ 45th & Walnut Sts. to
Charles Schwab Field. Each time, I was helped by a courteous front desk clerk. I gave my
"Phone number removed" verbally for entry.
I enjoy light weight lifting (but not free weights).
Before age 50, I would run from my home to the lab at 18th & Howard. These five times
a week run to and from work helped me in my marathon quest. I ran 45 marathons (26.2 miles) before age 50.

Friendly staff
Making friendships
I signed up with 5 of my grandchildren. The staff is courteous and helpful. I enjoy myself when I am there such a diverse and polite people.
I have been going to your 5:30pm classes on Thursday and Tuesday taught by Dan. I really like the class because I don't have to think about what exercises I should be doing, whether I'm doing enough cardio or lifting, or how long I should how long I should be working out. It's really nice that the only thing I have to do is show up. The class really helped me get more active. I've noticed myself improving, being able to lift more, run more, etc, and it's really helped my mood. I noticed I was in a better place mentally if I consistently showed up to class.
The trainers are first rate!
Great pool and close to home.
Everything! Our son comes home excited and exhausted every day! Christian is amazing and leads a great group! We have been so please with each of the staff members and I’m impressed how well they keep the older kids engaged.

My son has been taking one on one swim classes with Kayleigh. She is an incredible swim teacher and he has learned so much. In just a few lessons, he has gotten more confident and I feel so much better about him being able to be safe in water. Kayleigh is so patient and kind! I really appreciate her!
The staff are friendly and helpful! The downtown YMCA has all the amenities I need!
I like the varied and enjoyable group exercise classes.
Carter is a great teacher. My son isn’t the most enthusiastic about swim lessons and Carter is so patient with him. It’s been very helpful to have the opportunity to take lessons at the Y
Carlose is very helpful and I know my grand daughter is learning
Everything is nice and I like that there's plenty of space and no long waits on for any machines.
Your instructors!! Everyone is amazing.

Everyone who works at the Y is friendly, helpful and welcoming. They should all get raises. The building is clean, I don’t usually have to wait for exercise equipment or lap lanes, and I have made friends with other YMCA members. The downtown Y feels like a safe and comfortable space for me as a trans person also.
The Y is good for me and good for others.
