Member Testimonials
Brandon A. Cycle class Monday nights is a highlight in my week. Brandon is an exceptional instructor who motivates his class to challenge themselves and work hard. I go to the gym to push my limits and challenge myself and Brandon’s class does exactly this. I struggle with motivation at the gym and appreciate the group fitness environment for this reason. I was considering dropping my membership until I learned Brandon will be teaching an additional cycle class on Thursdays. My friends and I all look forward to spin and appreciate Brandon!
Very friendly environment. The David D. Hunting YMCA offers excellent programs with exceptional instructors such as Barbara Freed and Cindi Chester. Both of these ladies are extremetly knowledgeable, encouraging and passionate about providing their class participants the best workouts.

Proximity to my home.
I love this center so much. The programs, classes, staff, and gym are all exceptional, and this YMCA will be our center of choice forever :)
Quality of teachers and classes, cleaning staff (iespecially Beverly) is efficient and friendly. Love, love, love the community among members.
I am concerned that seniors are being driven away by the lockerroom situation during the renovation. Very poor intermediate solution to stick us in the girls lockerroom.
We love the Riverside Guitar Class! Our daughter is learning so much and having fun, and it is amazing to see how quickly she can pick this skill up, and how easy it is to sign up!
The Y brings together a wide variety of people. It's not just a place for well-dressed, already fit athletes.
We enjoy the class schedule and the friendly atmosphere!
I like all of the options I have from a pool to a sauna to the am spinning classes I take on Tuesdays and Thursdays!
The pool in the gym and the nice people that help me
There is always an inclusive and safe environment. In addition, I appreciate the community that the David D. Hunting YMCA has.
close to my house
The people and atmosphere
Excited to see the women's lockerroom improvements
I like the group fitness classes.
The staff is very helpful and well trained. Everyone is kind, the facility is clean and well maintained.
Some of the main amenities that I went to the YMCA for are under construction, like the sauna, steam room, and hot tub in the women’s locker room. I feel as if I was not able to get my moneys worth the past two months.
First of all, you are welconed with a smile and a friendly greeting. Next, rhe same positive energy from"T" the lifeguard was appreciated. Lastly, the friendly energy of the original greeter was better than good. Thank you well done.
Yes, great workout facilities!
Updated 3rd floor and ongoing locker room improvements make the downtown YMCA a world class facility.
The AstroTurf on East and West sides of basketball courts, cushy black floor covering rest of workout area, many racks of dumbbells and new exercise machines are impressive and make a very comfortable workout environment!
It's clean, nice people
I especially appreciate what the YMCA does for seniors and those who can’t afford membership, through Silver Sneakers and health care. It allows seniors and those fortunate to engage in healthy activities and fitness. Thank you.
Staff is amazing
Great spaces with great machines
Jake Gillet’s fitness training
It was very hot 🔥🥵 by the machines .. but other than that great facility
Need improvement on cleaning the showers Clumps of hair I see on Monday are still on the floor on Wednesday!
Staff interaction, Clean Facility, 3rd Floor workout is on point. And I also like the Pool area and the Locker room Spa area.
Parking has become an issue for senior members particularly those with mobility issues. The parking deck is not a feasible option
The amount of open space, equipment options.

Great staff!
