I mostly use the pool. The water is warmer than most pools I visit. The staff is very friendly and there is convenient parking. I also like the large spacious locker rooms.
Nice gym, great downtown location so besides the gym can also enjoy a city run or bike ride and have a nice steam after.
I have been a member of the downtown Y for 20yrs. It is one of the best gyms in Dallas. It provides a safe place in downtown. I would not leave the Y unless it closed down.
The staff from Walter, Rod (game changer), Caleb and the weekend ladies are so cordial. Facilities are always clean.
great facility and staff with very convenient location
It is a spacious facility that you can work out in peace. I like all the different options of a work out too. You have the basketball and racket ball courts, ample cardio equipment, weight lifting, and the pool. After a strenuous workout, there is the recovery of the steam room, sauna, and whirlpool. Great facility that has it all.
Great staff and safe environment.
I like the close proximity of the YMCA to my home along with the presence of Precor.AMT elliptical machines. The staff is also very friemdly
Great variety of fitness options, especially having the hammer strength machines. I’m battling back from an injury and the hammer strength machines have allowed me to continue workouts with minimal stress on body. Been life changing! So being able to do some free weights, cable machines, and hammer strength machines keeps me excited and coming back for more exploration. Next area to explore is the CrossFit section.
The body pump class..
The experience is nice friendly
The Downtown Dallas YMCA is staffed with very helpful, kind, and supportive staff and managers. The large spacious gymnasium is a welcoming, clean, and safe environment. The gym is well equipped with free weights, cable machines, weight machines, treadmills, exercise bikes, basketball, racket ball, squash, handball courts, swimming pool, wet and dry sauna, whirlpool, various classes , exercise rooms, and clean well-appointed locker rooms.
The diversity of the clientele from age 5 to 95 and a rich mix of people from all walks of life and from all over Dallas is very appealing. The whole atmosphere is friendly, kind, and welcoming in every way. I especially enjoy the collegial atmosphere among the gym members. I have been
a member of this YMCA since 1980, when it was located across the street. 43 years later I have made countless friends and met many wonderful people. I am more healthy because of the YMCA. Thank you for your service.

I love the clean facility and how it is never fully packed. Always a machine open that I need to use!
