Member Testimonials
Great staff, very friendly, convenient location, and I appreciate the health center.
The workers and other people attending are friendly and help to make the experience there good and profitable.
Our kids are growing confident in their swimming abilities! I’m so proud of them. Their instructors have been patient, helpful, and kind. Water safety is so important and we feel really good about making the decision to start lessons. We love Central Branch YMCA!
Was well kept up.
Clean facilities; excellent Customer Service
It usually isn’t too busy where you feel overwhelmed and like you can’t do what you want to do there. It’s always clean!!
I love Central YMCA for its friendliness of both staff and members. As an older person with joint issues, I love the Aqua and Silver Sneakers classes. Central is my place!
Friends
Community and family feel - small enough to be called by name!
Staff is always very friendly and positive. Front desk staff is knowledgeable and seeks to find answers to my questions.
Friendly attendants
Staff was very friendly. Parking was handy. What I saw was clean. Was just there to use the swimming pool for a swimming test before Rowing training.
Central YMCA rules!
Nice and clean
I like that this branch has a quiet place to relax in the whirlpool and steam room area.
Kate Black is an exceptional teacher for water exercises. She is always showing us and encouraging us to make adjustments to the exercises if we need to do so. The staff at the front desk have always been so kind and friendly. I live minutes away from Jorgensen but travel to downtown for my classes.
The facility has everything you need and the staff is helpful and friendly. Carrie Feipel is a gem!
The facility is kept clean and neat. The windows sparkle as they are regularly washed.
Dora, water Zumba instructor, is awesome. She smiles, pleasant and makes the class fun.
She starts and ends the class on time… to the second.
She choreographs the music to work all body parts.
I drive 9 miles to attend this Y as I enjoy it so much
The facility and staff are A1. I love the Saturday aqua zumba class!
Bang the drum class was great. I love the vibe when we have all levels of participants...
Hey Noah and Sam!
I hope you have a great week!
The instructor who teaches the workout classes I attend
Most personable staff and professional. Love their energy when I step into the Downtown Y.
The trainers, class leaders, front desk, maintenance staff - all are friendly and supportive. I am always greeted when I arrive and acknowledged when I leave. First class aqua instructors in Kate, Laurie, and Dora. They are knowledgeable and engaging. There is a community within the adult aqua classes - a wonderful atmosphere. Thanks also for the monthly adult luncheon and even the would-you-rather surveys in the front lobby.
I would give you a ten except some of the facilities are a bit worn. And there could be more showers in the women's locker room.
I'd let you share my name to promote the Y, but my son works there, so it seems a bit disingenuous.
I primarily use the pool for lap swimming, the pool and deck are kept clean and the staff is friendly. Locker rooms are generally kept clean as well.
Its close to home for myself & family.
Enough equipment/activities to keep all age groups of my family busy.
Friendly & Helpful Staff.
Clean amenities.
The overall upkeep needs some attention. The landscaping around the parking lots is shabby. Some of the bathroom fixtures are rusting and wearing out.
A bit of Capital needs to be committed to the facility and grounds.
The staff and patrons are all very friendly and helpful. The pool and instructors are the best.
The pool is wonderful and the aqua variety class is like getting physical therapy! Thanks to instructor Kate and the “divas and dudes” who make everyone feel welcome to class!

Julie’s class was amazing but the bathrooms were DISGUSTING
