Brittany is on the ball!

The downtown YMCA rules.

I was in there a couple of saturdays ago and helped breakup a fight between two dads from little kid basketball and got blood on my shirt. A free month would help ease the pain of throwing away one of my favorite t shirts.

You Offer swimming, racquet ball, and gym for basketball.

Love the pool. Very calm quiet atmosphere

The YMCA is very user friendly and staff is great. I love to play pickle ball and basketball at their campus.

Use the exercise room on the second floor on a regular basis and use the deep pool for swimming laps regularly

My grandson loves the basketball league. I found it Easy to register, easy to engage with them, reasonably priced, and believe their programs builds character.

There great ii love them

I love the fact that you are one of the very few facilities in the area that have racquetball courts.

Something for all ages

Swim aerobics, the large variety of exercise machine machines, and high intensity, training and stretching. Especially enjoy the second Floor weight machines that can be suited to your individual needs‼️

Unlike other program-based gyms in the area, i appreciate the independence to build a personal routine with vast aerobic & anaerobic options and at (nearly) any hour.

Everything

Just a good overall experience

Variety & Availability

It is a family like environment. I feel like I am known and welcomed every time I walk in

Best people and facility in Youngstown.

If your goal is health and physical fitness, then there are many programs and activities that will help you attain that goal. I originally joined the Y to play organized volleyball. That was 45 years ago. Now that has expanded to Pickleball. I have met a lot of my friends in the process. I also like to use the many varieties of exercise equipment and free weights to try to keep in shape. I particularly enjoy seeing the many children learning and experiencing good health habits.

I like the Yogalaties

There's always something for the kids to do. I like that basketball clinics are included in the membership and the coaches are really good at what they do!

Basketball and workout classes

Great with the kid’s and very friendly

Staff courtesy

Great programs in a great facility

Players are treated equally and fairly. Coaches and coordinators do a great job.

I became a member this past spring. I am a senior citizen looking to stay active and in shape. I had a quadruple heart bypass 21 years ago at age 47. I like the HFD locker room at the central Ymca. I am enrolled in a swim class to learn swim strokes and swim mechanics.My knees, hips, and shoulders seem to handle the swimming pretty good.It's early in the process so I need to increase endurance and overall swim mechanics and breathing. I'm hoping to be consistent. My weight is down 10 pounds since I joined the Y. There is plenty of strength training options to help keep the muscles and joints functioning. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. I look forward to my sessions at the central Ymca.

My kids love to swim

Masters swim!

Cardio, Resistance training, basketball and swimming, steam room and sauna's available.
Need to get the Steam Heat issue resolved as winter approaches. Plus, handball and/or racquetball courts need refurbished. This used to be done on a regular, alternating basis. Try getting one court done at a time.

It would be a great place for a complete boxing room, not just one room with a heavy bag. I could see the Youngstown YMCA having it's own, and I am guessing pretty strong, boxing team with the right (determined) fighters and trainers.

Thank you.

I absolutely love Miss Erica and her professional swim teaching skills. She makes the lessons fun and full of energy. She connects with the kids in such a beautiful way and she adapts her class to each child's skill level. She changes lives on child at a time.
