Great pool system with multple classes of different types. Strong support for veterans. Community-centered with many partnerships that help support Seniors and youth. Shall I go on?
We have yet to be educated on the new machines. The workout room changed so quickly. We will ask when we next come for a workout. We do hope the orientation will be given at no cost.

Equipment room
I enjoy LIFE classes with Emily and appreciate her encouraging, positive approach to fitness and wellness. Multiple options are offered during workouts to make whatever adjustments you need to keep moving.
The front desk staff are friendly; the people in the classes are friendly - it's good mix of people.
They are fun and people are friendly
Excellent kids area, great pools, and lots of classes available
I am taking the Deep-Water Aerobics Class that is taught by Ann. At this time, I haven't yet gotten back into strenuous exercising because of a knee replacement. The water seems to help keep it mobile without a lot of pain.
Variety of exercise options for seniors and friendly staff
I only used the Wellness Center, but i enjoyed the updated equipment.
I love the water aerobics programs. I have been going there for over 20 years! I've made some friends in the classes and like the instructors. So glad the Rec pool finally got a stairway.
A few complaints:
Unsupervised noisy kids splashing around, sometimes bothering people in our classes.
The locker room is often freezing cold.
The swim suit wringer machine was broken and never replaced.
I like the Les Mills cycling and cardio classes

Staff
Silver sneakers every day
I haven’t been there in a while. It’s been like oh maybe a month I haven’t been there, but I’ll be back.
I’ve been a regular at the Benjamin Harrison YMCA for a while now, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the overall experience. The staff here is absolutely fantastic—always friendly, approachable, and eager to help with anything I need. Their dedication to creating a welcoming environment really stands out.
The pool is a major highlight. It's always well-maintained and a great place to get in some laps or just relax. Speaking of maintenance, the entire facility is spotlessly clean. From the gym areas to the locker rooms, it’s clear that cleanliness is a priority, and it really contributes to the overall positive atmosphere.
The locker rooms are another area where the attention to detail shines. They're spacious, well-organized, and consistently well-stocked with essentials, making it a pleasant and stress-free experience before or after workouts.
One of the best aspects of the Benjamin Harrison YMCA, however, is the community. I’ve met some incredibly friendly and welcoming members, particularly during my time at the pool. The sense of camaraderie here really makes the experience special. It’s a place where everyone feels comfortable and supported.
Overall, I highly recommend the Benjamin Harrison YMCA. It offers a perfect blend of excellent facilities, friendly staff, and a strong sense of community, making it a standout choice for anyone looking to stay fit and enjoy their time at the gym.
