Many equipment and available staff to help out . Clean , great family atmosphere and not too crowded even though there is plenty of people exercising.

Mr Mark and Miss Casey are great!!
My kids enjoy the activities they do. In the past two years, I have noticed the quality of the program has improved. I was glad they go more time outside this past fall as well.
The staff is friendly and our son is always excited to be dropped off to the program. We have been very lucky to be working with the YMCA!

My daughter has a wonderful relationship with the YMCA staff in the before school program. She likes the coloring and Lego activities. They sometimes get to go in the gym too. They go out of their way to have things she likes in particular and even did did a special breakfast one morning for the group. We like the ease of the drop off and the safety protocols.
Amazing friendly staff, keep my daughter entertained and safe
Our kids love it!! The site coordinator and counselors are professional, attentive and enforce kind and good behaviors. They get a great healthy snack and have the best activities before and after school. AND best part…all of this is offered at their school, where they are comfortable and feel at home. Best program for our kids and families.
The structure, the discipline, the positive reinforcement (tickets), the snacks, time outside even when cold. Employees seemed like they enjoyed the kids but could also provide structure and rules.
Very reliable and friendly.
Wonderful staff, great activities and excellent communication! My son loves it!
SYAC BABY!
The early morning staff and members!
The variety of workout choices available are encouraging. The staff members are knowledgeable and friendly making each visit easy to do.
The downtown Y is apart of who I am . It offers everything you need for the workout. It takes care of my physical and emotional health.
I value the Downtown Y, especially SYAC.
I love the downtown YMCA. Supportive atmosphere, great variety of people, programs, services. I love the old building, and the fact that it is downtown. When I worked downtown, it was a gift to be able to walk to the YMCA during the lunch hour and on Saturday mornings. Now that i work from home, it's still only 15 minutes or so to get there. Before I joined the YMCA, I'd never exercised, and thinking of being in a gym reminded me of the worst of grade school (bullying, exclusion.) But that's not what happens at the downtown Y. Kind, supportive people...everyone working at their own pace. I started in the cancer survivors' class, and stuck with it. Between better eating and exercising at the downtown YMCA, I lost nearly 60 pounds. Thank you!
